I’ve loved working with Bosisto’s on this post. They make such awesome and accessible products from 100% pure, natural essential oils that are perfect for integration into both personal and family household routines daily. Despite really, actively trying to avoid falling into the ‘busy’ trap that gets me feeling constantly anxious, worried and stressed, our family is on the cusp …
Reduce, reuse, recycle. Who would ever have imagined that Bob the Builder – a beloved children’s show – would be so ahead of its time? With sustainability and environmental issues ramping up in importance and public awareness every day, the onus on individuals to increase responsibility as both consumers and caretakers of the land is becoming a more widely accepted …
Looking for something totally fabulous to spoil Mum with or (even better!) to pop on your own Mother’s Day wish list? This toothbrush is IT. It’s hard to believe that I’m writing with such affection about a toothbrush, but hey, weird things happen when you’re over 35 and know how much a visit to the hygienist costs! There’s a $50 …
I inadvertently taught myself a good lesson this week; despite my best intentions not to work on Monday’s as Nix is home from kindy, I found myself a participant in a continuous string of phone calls for over an hour, whilst I madly multi-tasked, wrote a difficult email I’d been dreading and stressed about the next deadline. This was not …
A year ago I never would have written this post. A year ago I would have ignored/declined the invitation to try a menstrual cup, firmly placing the very notion in the ‘too hard/too hippy’ basket. So why now? The only answer I can come up with is simply; why not now? My monthly period annoys the heck out of me. …
Fact: Dry shampoo is life. I’m a fan. Dove asked for my thoughts on their Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo and here they are internet, just for you! Thanks for making this post possible Dove. There are very few beauty/haircare/skincare products that I religiously use every, single day because, at this point in my life, every day is very different. We …
Oh my lord it’s HOT! Seriously, these temps in December are crazy, but crazy good for sure. Being able to throw open the bedroom windows and freshen things up is so therapeutic for me. Both of the boy’s rooms have had a big spring clean that included purchasing fresh, new linen for their beds. Over the weekend, I finally had …
This post was made possible by the world’s number #1 selling mattress protector, Protect-A-Bed, who know a thing or two about helping us get a good night’s sleep! How many times have you caught yourself complaining about how tired you are, how you could sleep for days, how you need to go to bed earlier………only to repeat your unhealthy nocturnal habits over and …
As a New Zealand women, I’ve grown up with the notion that much of my sense of self (and sometimes even self-worth!), is intrinsically associated with my appearance and how others, or more importantly, how I feel about my appearance at any given point in my life. As normalised/wrong/gender biased as this may seem to some, for me, it’s simply …
I’m addicted to my hair dryer. And my hair straightener. And not looking just like “I woke up like this’. I don’t know exactly what my hair would look like if I didn’t see my hairdresser every 8 weeks to colour it. My hair, quite simply isn’t ‘me’. Age has taught me how to appreciate some wrinkles – I think of them …
