What’s in a natural, new age mum’s handbag?
I am sure you have been wondering just that! Well, I am spilling all today and inviting some other natural, new age mums to do the same! Okay, let’s take a peek….. The bag The bag is a la Vinnies for the princely sum of $3! I had been searching for ages for a new handbag and could not find one I liked. I often think it’s the universe’s way of making us wait to meet up with something that is perfect for us! There it was, as new, at the opshop and really, for $3 could I say no? I am not one of...

read moreWhat’s with the cucumbers?
You might have noticed me faffing around on Facebook incognito (that’s me on the right). Well, it’s all for a good cause. Originally I posted a photo of myself on my Facebook page sporting a mask and some cucumbers. I was having a crappy day and I just needed a rest. I thought a little pampering might cheer me up. Some friends thought it was fabulous and Robyn from Overcoming Overwhelm (that’s her on the left) said every woman should be doing this! Regularly taking time out and pampering herself! So, Self Love...

photo The Gold Coast is not all flash and touristy, there is a vibrant natural, new age community to be discovered. Nowhere is this more evident than in the emerging health food scene.

Okay, so I could have called this recipe something fancy, but quite frankly, I couldn’t be stuffed! I have been talking with some other bloggy mums about being real and authentic. I figure you have already worked out that I keep things pretty real. My food styling leaves a lot to be desired, I have appeared on the blog in a face mask and my dressing gown and I had a melt-down about what I found in my son’s shoe drawer that time. Just a few examples. I would hate anyone to think I am a natural, new age mum 100% of the time....

peachface I have a tween. She is 11. According to dictionary.com, a tween is “a youngster between 10 and 12 years of age, considered too old to be a child and too young to be a teenager.” It’s a beautiful time but also one full of challenges. My gorgeous girl has, in the last year, started to become a bit girly. Okay, a lot girly. She is conscious of how she looks, what she wears, how her hair is sitting. She wants to start using “products”! So, you can imagine how excited I was to come across gorgeous soul...
