25.01.2022 Well here we are! Chapter One! And what a goodie it is! All about the why behind low tox & some key points to making it work for you. ... Gosh I am loving the book so far! Tell me your favourite part! I LOVE THIS TRUTH She shares: Heres the shift: we dont part with convenience on this journey, we just re-define it. Slowly. Conventional messages about convenience loose there appeal pretty quickly. Youll seek a new form of convenience that aligns with your values this time, because youve slowed down enough to define your values. Alexx Stuart. Are you wanting a bit more? Go watch the STINK docco on Netflix to immerse yourself a bit more in this stuff if thats whats youre after! Cant wait to jump into chapter two next week! Bring on some DIYs baby! (p.s Im going to want know which ones you want me to try and which ones youre thinking of giving a go so have a little think!)

25.01.2022 This is network marketing. Not sure about it? Let me show you. For me it means working when I can. Finding little pockets of time in my day. (Like right now I’m this cute lil hotel whilst my girls are fast asleep in the room next door. I could be scrolling insta or watching telly, I’m doing this instead. SWIPE RIGHT to see how an enniagram 9 people loving introvert really feels about a night to myself to work on something I love ... For me it means meeting needs where I can see them both in my nearest & dearest and those I meet online. For me this happens by sharing my story, getting oils into people hands and teaching them how to used them. (With a whole lotta resources not any prior training or special skills) For me this has brought joy and passion into my life in a way I least expected it to. For me it enables me to mentor other women which is something I’ve always felt drawn to do and feel so alive when I step into that space., For me it’s not a scheme, but rather a business model that is allowing little old me doing the things I mentioned above to rewrite what our future looks like in terms of finances. Read that again. It actually gives me all the goose bumps. It’s allowing us to dream bigger now, it’s allowing us to step back into giving where we’ve previously had to pull back. It’s a business model that works around your life: it’s flexible. Flexible doesn’t mean you never need to put work in, of course you do. It takes consistency, it takes belief, it takes using your oils, and it takes time. All of which I’m happy to give it! I’ve worked hard to get where I am in this business.

24.01.2022 Have I told you my laundry detergent story? Ok heres the quick version: Picture me heavily pregnant with Annie and gagging at the smell of every single washing detergent known to man . I had just grabbed my oils from young living and had heard they sold a thieves based artificial fragrances free detergent and I was like TAKE MY MONEY. So I tried it... and yes I could finally do the washing without gagging on the smell. (Funny how youre body just knows w...hat to avoid when youre pregnant and isnt backward in coming forward about it!!!!) But a few weeks in something else shifted. I stopped getting seasonal issues!!! [please read inbetween the lines here] I always thought this was... well, seasonal but it turns out it was much more to do with a build of of toxins in my body from all the little bits of chemicals I was throwing at it every day. Laundry detergent was a big factor as it was sitting on my skin all day every day in my clothes and absorbing into my blood stream and building up! Guys I had NO IDEA! Its been almost two years now and I havent had a single bout of it! Total life changer!!! No more days on end of getting wiped out and feelingly exhausted from the usual symptoms And dont even get me started on what I now know about what those same chemicals were doing to my hormones and that of my precious girls. #wreakinghavoc So that in a nutshell is why I am rather obsessed with my thieves laundry liquid and will talk about it to anyone who will listen till the cows come home. Because I have felt the effects and I care!

24.01.2022 Goodnight peeps. Its been a big day. A good day. ... I shared my heart about this biz. With a bunch of women. I shared my unfolding story up until now. I never ever thought I could do something like that. But I did, and it was nerve wracking & exciting & wonderful all at once. I feel like every week at the moment Im growing & learning. Im stepping into new things. My business is growing. My team is growing. My confidence is growing. It feels SO GOOD. Its all happening with these two girls around me, theyre part of this now and I love that. They see me going for it, working hard, stretching myself and loving it and I LOVE THAT. I finally get why they call this biz personal growth with a paycheck Im feelin both! I am so so so jolly happy about it. I cant quite believe it all started with a very tentative yes. Guys I had NO IDEA how to run a biz or use an oil or talk to a camera and next minute (insert ALOT of support) HERE WE ARE! Haha! So I am running a bath and just soaking up the goodness tonight! I love this job, I love this life. Ps. If you want to have a little sticky beak at my video from today just holler and i can sort that out xx

22.01.2022 Sat morning cuppa done right. Second hand cups - on high rotation. Stress Away & peppermint pumpin.... Porridge bubbling away. Sisters together. About to go shopping for some fresh potting mix for my plant babies. My heart is happy. See more

21.01.2022 These days Im doing things a bit differently. We come home from school and hang out in the backyard for afternoon tea. I leave my phone (AKA my business) inside and we just hang for a bit. It sets our afternoon in the best of ways.... Its these little moments I cherish. Being able to do them with my girls is NEVER lost on me ever. Getting to build a business which is earning a solid income whilst still being at home is SUCH A GIFT. Being available for all the little moments. Being present. Look Im not saying its perfect. Its a juggle. Every single day. But lets be real, theres no juggle Id rather. This afternoon Annie sat down on my lap and said next to you mumma And you know what. That is it. Being here. For all the things. Is literally everything. Ive worked hard to be where I am with my business. It not a get rich scheme by any means. But it is a job where you get paid well for the work you put in, whatever that may look like. And that happens to be doing things that bring me life and energy with some of my favourite people on the planet. So you know... its a pretty epic gig!!! Swipe to see what Im earning. ps Im at the rank of silver, working steadily to gold, and have a think about what that would mean for you and your family. You can also check out the full Young Living Income disclosure through the link my bio! (Look at me getting all techy )

20.01.2022 Like your perfume bottles heaps cute? Yeh, me too. Like smelling like a goddess? Yeh, me too. Like feeling your best self? Yeh, me too.... Like a simple little DIY project that leaves you feelin heaps clever and only takes 5mins? Yeh, me too. Like not putting toxins into your body every day? Yeh, me too. Like showing your girls a better way? Yeh me too. Like that feeling of knowing youre looking after yourself? Yeh, me too. Babes. If you were quietly nodding your head with me, ya need these oils!!! You need to ditch your perfume and make up a cute little natural one with me. I promise youll be SO GLAD YOU DID! Step 1. Grab your starter kit. (All the oils you need) Step 2. Get a cute bottle from me in the mail ready to go. Step 3. Get a book full of recipes from me so you know how. Step 4. High five baby. You did it!

19.01.2022 LAZY LOW TOX. I’m claiming it. If it’s too hard I’m probably not going to do it, definitely not stick with it! ... My bestie @mothering.wildlings got me onto this little hack and it’s made all my lazy low tox dream come true! Grab yourself a bottle of the thieves laundry liquid and the thieves bar soap (stain removal boss) and you have single handedly cleared out a huge whack of nasty chemicals from your everyday. Why does this matter? Cause this stuff sits on your skin ALL day. Guys and girls. The perineum is the most absorbent skin on your body! There, I said it! I see you all blushing! A huge amount of what comes into contact with our skin gets absorbed into our bloodstream. Artificial fragrances mimic hormones in our bodies and wreak a whole lot of other damage that we just DON’T NEED. Lazy low tox is my jam. If I can do it so can you!

19.01.2022 I learnt something new today!!! So, if youve ever heard me talk about Ningxia, youd know I drank it through child birth, yup! And I always laugh about how it got me through that bad boy! That AND the VERY foggy postpartum months. Well well well! Now I know why!! Guys this is a WHOLE FOOD. Its aint no juice. Its PACKED with nutrients and is actually quite high in PROTEIN! What the?... This is partly how it fuels long lasting stable energy. Paired with some naturally occurring caffeine and babes you are GOOD TO GO. Ive been listening to ladies & men talk about how it supported them to boost their iron levels (light bulb moment! My iron level was so low after having Tilly but this time around it stabilised really quickly even though I lost just as much blood) Its also the highest know source of antioxidants which does WONDERS for our bodies in helping it to process free radicals. Hello, healthy immune system, and overall wellness and just feeling your best! All this is why Im so excited about you guys joining in with this 30 day Ningxia challenge this month! Cause I just know how good it is! #simplyningxia See more

17.01.2022 Ill be honest I was NOT looking for a low tox life. I just didnt get it or see it as important for me or my family. Its been more of an accidental process for me. Bit by bit falling in love with making my own things, feeling the positive effects of clearing out toxins, then leaning in for more and here we are! Haha! I never would have been one to buy this book! It would have seemed far too daunting for my liking. BUT Im here to say that this whole thin...g doesnt need to be daunting. Actually its been great. It doesnt have to be an all or nothing approach. You can start right were you are and make a one or two steps in the right direction and before you know it things will be shifting for the better! And now that Ive actually started reading this book Im like.... oh this is awesome! Theres so many helpful takeaways, in it and handy little tips and tricks! So thats why Im inviting anyone and everyone to join me in reading through it together. Lets learn some stuff together and take some steps in the right direction. Ill be sharing things I love from the book and opening up the conversation with you to share what you love too. We can pick some DIYs to try together and just generally inspire one another! Whos joining me??? See more

17.01.2022 Just over here in the sun on my back deck, with food in my teeth, so so glad that I landed my dream job.

16.01.2022 Cute baby having a bath in the sink. That is all.

16.01.2022 Plant mumma. Yep it me. I cant speak highly enough about plants. ... Like house plants. I know theyre all the rage but its for GOOD REASON! For me, a plant (or 5) transforms a space like nothing else They bring life & joy. They literally purify the air you breathe. Do you find yourself wishing for something else at home, a reno, a better play area, a gorgeous magazine worthy space??? Sometimes I do. But I tell ya what, whenever I rearrange my plants or bring a new one into the fam it ALWAYS makes me feel more house proud! They are seriously magic like that. Give it a go & let me know.

16.01.2022 Home sweet home. But have you ever stopped to think what the air quality in your home is like? Ill be honest, I never did! Not until my health got significantly better after clearing out a few big fragrance offenders and the penny dropped. ... I never realised these chemicals were building up Im my body and causing issues, until I simply stopped bringing them into my home. I make a handful of super simple DIYs regularly, like my body washes, cleaning stuff, laundry booster & perfume. And I now buy toxic free things like laundry detergent shampoo & conditioner, oils to diffuse in my home and so much more straight from young living. To be honest its all so much simpler and much more fun than I ever expected to go low tox! If I can do it you can too! And Im here to help you figure it out and show you just how I did it on a budget! See more

15.01.2022 My biggest reason why. I want all the time, All the beach trips whenever we like.

14.01.2022 My heart. I cant even. Mummas, be kind you yourselves, find something you love, that you believe in, that genuinely helps you day to day, that that makes you feel better not worse, that brings a lightness and ease. And do that thing lots and lots, knowing that your little ones will be learning along side you. So it seems my girls love a good stress away scent tent these days. Funny that cause so do I. Its one of my favourites. It settles & calms me in the loveliest way. And smells like a summer holiday.

12.01.2022 Gosh I love her. Gosh she does my head in. Motherhood is a ride isnt it?... Never in a million years did I think Id be using essential oils to help with this mum gig but here we are, haha! My ultimate oily combo for getting through my day with sanity intact are: STRESS AWAY & VALOR. From one mumma to another. Do yourself a favour and get on it. You wont regret it!

12.01.2022 Slow simple days are my favourite. After way too long of iPads and TV this morning I sent the girls outside, made myself a coffee and then came outside to find they had made a bug home and were finding residents for it. My heart just about exploded. @ East Corrimal

11.01.2022 Ok, I have officially entered a new mum stage. Someone please tell me its not just me! Side note: You know this is a highlights reel right? In truth, I actually do my best to show up in an honest, genuine way with you guys on here because after all this is simply me sharing my journey. Opening up my life that you may see one mumma finding her wait through, jus like you are. ... But, Im going to be totally honest with you and say that when it comes to taking photos, I will take 100 shots to get this one sweet sisterly snap. And despite all the whinging, all the arguments, ALL THE SASS (gosh). Forever trying to capture them at their best. Even as I type this Im being convicted to show more of the rest, because its a lot of what goes on around here right now. Its the age of me forever saying No means no! after the constant talking back and repeated ohhhh mum, but why? Its the age of suddenly understanding why people buy (*insert how many children you have) of EVERYTHING, identical if possible! #ifyouknowyouknow. Because Annie is all of a sudden big enough to tell us what SHE WANTS. In a big way! Yes we have wonderful, precious times together every day that fill my heart with ALL THE HAPPINESS and they are quite literally the 2 biggest blessings anyone could ever receive. BUT I also get fed up, exasperated, OVER IT, tired and drained and just in general dreaming of a week in solitary confinement So please know this, my family is by NO MEANS perfect. I am by NO MEANS perfect. Im just learning to reach to my oils for support at every step of the way and finding them to be THE REAL DEAL. Im learning how & why to do this whole low tox thing in a way that feels simple & natural to me. Me showing up here is simply inviting you along to see how I do it and hopefully inspiring you to give it a go yourself. Because goodness me, I was NOT LOOKING for this but WOW what an immense difference it has made for me already and I cant wait for that for you too! xx Swipe for some of my favourite mumma support roller blends. Little bottles of help ready to roll straight on when you need them! @ East Corrimal See more

11.01.2022 SLEEP. Is there anything better than a sleeping baby? Perhaps a sleeping toddler? ... Or actually a sleeping mumma really is best amiright? Well guess what. Oils & sleep are a match made in heaven. There are so many ways oils can help with sleep. They can calm a busy mind They can settle restless limbs They can become powerful sleep associations. They can help you enter deeper sleep cycles. They can help you switch off. They can help you unwind: They can even help with that pesky snoring coming from the other side of the bed (no joke Ive tried this out and its THE GOODS) lets just say the Valor roll on lives next to the bed now. Looking for a little sleep support? Well you just found it! Its called the premium starter kit babe and its got you covered. Oils in this kit that will help you drift off to never never land: Frankincense, Valor, Peace & Calming, Lavender, Orange, Stress away.

10.01.2022 Perfume that smell a dream, doesn’t screw up your hormones and makes you feel good??? Um yes please. I’ll take jasmine today, thank youuuuu!

10.01.2022 C R A F T Y. M U M. So heres the thing. I do love doing crafts with my kids:... It takes me back to my childhood, and I love to create and see them create. The joy is ok the process. BUT I always get to the point of getting OVER IT. Frustrated with the mess, Annoyed when they give up after 5 mins, Sick of hearing up the fights, Wondering why I bothered, And its always before we finish. Guys, want to know what I do then? I make a cup of tea, And I use my oils. Usually straight up Valor & stress Away, On my palms and inhaled. I take a moment. Its a killer combo that gets me through. Helps me to re-set and be the crafty mum I want to be!

09.01.2022 Happy fathers Day to our main man @andytibbo This was yesterday, hes solo parenting RN so I could enjoy a girls night away. WHAT A GUY.... Best Dad. We all ADORE YOU.

08.01.2022 A day spent tinkering at home has well & truly filled my cup. I think this is my new creative outlet. Just playing around with things, changing the vibe a little bit here and there. For no other reason than to bring me joy, and maybe the rest of the fam too if they notice, but lets be honest its pretty much just for me.

08.01.2022 When we were house hunting I would literally skip through to the backyard pics straight away. Is that weird? Like i knew I could deal with all sorts of crap inside, but if it didnt have some big trees and a good backward feel I just new thatd crush my soul! Maybe its got something to do with growing up on the bush. Trees always make me feel relaxed and settled. ... Fast forward a few years and here were are. Slowly fixing up the inside bit by bit and still loving this space outside. Tillys learnt to climb trees in the big crepe myrtle up the back. The big mango tree gives the most gorgeous thick shade to the sandpit & swing making the best play spot and on those really hot summer days its the coolest spot on the whole place! I love having a veggie garden, that brings me so much joy! Sometimes the yard turns into a complete mess and I wonder who lives here? Other times we love on it and its gorgeous. All in all though, Im glad I was crazy enough to buy a house for the backyard!

07.01.2022 Where did that weekend go???

07.01.2022 Ok here it is! If you’ve spoken to Tilly in the last few months she would have no doubt told you a few times that she was being a flowergirl for her big cousin @bri.doust Well that was this weekend (just in case you missed the wedding spam ) and GOODNESS ME IT WAS MAGICAL! ... Just wanted to take a moment to fill you in on why it was just so special that Bri asked Tilly to be her flower girl. Well firstly, Bri was my flowergirl 16 yrs ago, and I was @amandaleepeet flowergirl (my sister & Bri’s mum) 27yrs ago! So that’s VERY special. But more than that, the bond they share is what’s the most special thing. Despite living a few hours away, Bri and her sisters @milzy02 @sophie3515 @elora_joy have absolutely poured love and affection into Tilly from the moment she was born at every single chance they got and it has had a profound effect on her. She absolutely adores them, that goes without saying (like she often asks if she can move to Maitland and there is ALWAYS tears when we leave), but I am 100% sure that these girls, along with the rest of Tillys incredible cousins have had a big part to play in her wonderful stability & sense of self, which often surprises me from someone so young! There’s nothing quite like the love and acceptance of your beautiful, fun, smart & kind older cousins! For this I am so very grateful. Tilly is truly blessed beyond measure by her family both on my side and Andy’s side and this is a huge part of who she is. So there it is. It’s been special. Beyond what I can even say. Praise the Lord for His hand in all of this.

06.01.2022 HOW I CARE FOR MY PLANT BABIES IN WINTER I like to re-pot at the start of winter. Give them fresh soil and room for their roots to spread out. Not sure if this is when youre supposed to re-pot but it works for me ... Give them a deep watering once every few weeks in winter (this is their dormant time so less watering needed) All my plants like to dry out in between watering. The air gets dry inside with our heater on so I like to mist them every few days with water and a tiny bit of thieves (they love it) Keep those leaves clean and free of dust with a spray and wipe every now and then with my thieves household cleaner. This lets them breathe. See more

06.01.2022 Just over here happy about pulling out my cosy woolen jumpers and finally taking the plunge and starting a pro biotic. Here we go! Young Living have just released theres and guys it is THE GOODS. No surprises there though. Happy days.

05.01.2022 Whats youre style?

04.01.2022 G I V E A W A Y !!! If youve been here for a hot minute you probably know I love having plants in my house! And they seem to love it here too which Im happy about! But you gotta know Ive killed my fair share in my time! ... I think its just part of the process! Haha! Ive definitely discovered a few things along the way that really help with my green thumb, one of them being my plant juice spray, which keeps them happy & healthy and smells so good youll want to spray it all day every day! (And you can!) Sooooo to spread the love Im going to be giving away 2 x 500ml plant sprays , made by me, one for you and one for your lucky friend!

One friend per entry but enter as many times as you like for more chances to win. Ill start.

This giveaway isnt endorsed in any way by instagram.

04.01.2022 Low tox should be simple, easy & fun. A quick little DIY here & there swapping out a few chemicals each time as you go. All the little things add up. Each small step counts. We all start out not realising all the hidden nasties in our regular household products. I certainly had no idea not so long ago. But once you go on that journey to learn about it, it feels so good & empowering to swap stuff out! ... Take back control of what youre bringing into your homes. It matters. Stop assuming someone else is making sure all these things are safe for you and your kids. Cause Im sorry to say theres just not anyone doing that. Its got to be you. But Im here to say finding a better way doesnt have to be hard or complex. If I can fumble my way through so can you! Bit by bit. Its surprisingly fun and very very satisfying!

04.01.2022 Breastfeeding didnt come easy. In fact it very near broke me this time around. I had to work for it with everything I had.... I was so stubborn, probably too stubborn. But I listened to that gut feeling. I knew its what I wanted. Look there is NO WAY I could have pushed through those hard few months of breastfeeding without an incredibly supportive hubby & family & multiple visits to a lactation consultant & child & family health nurses. Zero chance. Support is everything. We had our battles. There was a tongue tie, there were positional issues, there was long lasting nipple damage & pain, she didnt gain weight. I developed post natal anxiety. Tilly was starting school, gah it was hard. I say this simply to say, it can be hard. Bloody hard. But boy am I glad I pushed through. Boy am I glad I sought help & support and found it. Please seek help with this. It so often isnt easy. But it is worth it. Fast forward nearly two years and here we are. Shes obsessed with her nookie and I dont mind a bit. I kinda just thought she would wean herself at some point but that hasnt happened yet. And you know what, whilst were in the middle of a pandemic I aint mad at all. Our bodies are LEGIT amazing: Breast milk and all its wonders continuously blows my mind. I consider myself so blessed to be able to do this. Incredibly grateful that this has been our journey. It looks different for everyone and thats ok. Much love mummas.

04.01.2022 Ladies, mummas, keepers of your homes. The difference these oils make in my home is immense. By simply putting on this diffuser I can lift the mood, I can settle the house down, I can create a cosy environment, I can freshen up a space, I can reach for smells that bring me comfort, or uplift my spirits. I can clear the air of smells & germs, I can boost our wellness and open our lungs. It is honestly the most insanely amazing thing and I just CAN NOT WILL NOT imagine my house... and my life without it now. Side note, it is also the easiest way to lift those house proud feels I have ever discovered! Like come on, oils pumpin, a few happy house plants and ANY SPACE feels like a dream.

03.01.2022 Im forever trying to get them involved. Get dirty, get wet, make things, try things out, see what happens. Theres so much joy in the process. BUT I do have a never ending pile of washing, and a rather messy house. But its a happy one.

03.01.2022 What a glorious day. Pinching myself that this is our life. So grateful to be here and to have this family of mine to share it with. They are not perfect, I am not perfect, but gosh theres a lot of love here and I love this life of ours. ... Normally I work a night shift as a nurse every Sunday night and so right now Id be gearing up for that as Andy solo parents. But not this week which is so lovely. And its given me a little taste of what not having to ever gear up for an other night shift again feels like. Of being able to enjoy our weekends together as a family. Such precious time. This is what we are steadily working towards with my business. I say we because its a family affair. Andy gets it, hes behind me supporting me every step of the way. Its not coming without sacrifice, nothing good does. Hes enabling me to dive into this, to put in as much time and energy in as I can cause we can both see exactly where its taking us. We are just about there Its not a question of IF but WHEN. Just waiting for the right time to make that call. Cant wait to tell you all when I do! Theres nothing special about me. Im just your average mumma sharing my journey with essential oils and natural living. I had no business know how, no social media skills, no essential oils experience, no sales experience (FYI I still dont, its not about selling a product, its about sharing what you love)... because guys, you dont need any of that to create a successful business for yourself with Young Living. You simply need to fall in love with this lifestyle and then learn how to share that. THAT IS IT. Ive learnt of all that along the way. And I can teach you too. Here for all the chats and all the doubts and all the questions. Always.

03.01.2022 Hey mumma, I see you, giving it your best, digging deeper even when you dont feel it. Loving harder even when you feel drained. I feel it too. These years are life giving and so draining all at once. Heres what I do with my oils to help. And goodness me IT HELPS. 1. Diffuser on, gets my house feeling like a haven. 2. Hormone support erry single day. This has made a HUGE difference to my mental health.... 3. Oils oils oils. Out where I need them, on the bench, in my pocket and I simply USE THEM. Sure they dont magically take away everything, but gosh they help ALOT Franky, Valor & stress away are my absolute favourites to help get me through a rough patch, a whingy hour, a flat day or just a regular day I want to feel my best! See more

03.01.2022 Low tox is about all the little swaps that add up. It isnt hard. Its as simple as one month deciding to swap your cleaner & dishsoap to a plant based one.... And by doing that drastically reducing the amount of chemicals youre exposing your body too every day. Mummas how many times are you doing a quick wash up? How many times are you wiping down surfaces you prep off and eat off with this stuff. Did you know 60% of what you out on your skin gets absorbed? Did you know your lungs dont have a l filter? So what you spray into the air & you breathe ends up in your bloodstream. All these chemical add up. Our bodies werent designed to process them. They wreak havoc. Why wait to see the signs before you make some simple steps in the right direction? What have you got to loose? The body is VERY good at compensating, (trust me I see it ALL THE TIME as a nurse) and being ok, until all of a sudden its not ok, and then youre looking for answers. Then youre forking our hundreds of dollar bills left right and centre for specialist fees and pharmacy bills, not to mention being sick, time of work, and feeling like total crap. Wouldnt you rather invest in your health than pay big for your sickness? Dont make my mistake and assume chemicals are not effecting you. I had YEARS of assuming struggling big time with hayfever was just normal for me, only to find out it disappeared after swapping some regular products over to clean ones. This is a common one. But there are so many other things linked in with toxic build up. And dont get me started on your hormones, and your kids hormones and all the changes were seeing from kids getting exposed to too many chemicals. Its time to make a change. And Im here to help. Cause Ive done it one step at a time and I know you can too.

03.01.2022 These girls. Sometimes I sit and wonder how I got so lucky, And other times Im ready to fling them out the window.... Is it just me??? Or is this a normal mum thing? I tell ya what though. I now have a trusty tool to reach for when Im at my mum limit. You know when you just cant. I grab my valor, and my stress away. The bottles. I pop 2 drops of each on my hand and I INHALE. Goodness me it helps. Like it REALLY HELPS. Never in a million years did I think Id be using oils for emotional support, but here we are and heck am I glad about it! Its not a magic bullet, it doesnt turn me into a saint, but they do help me be the kinda mum I want to be. And for that Im SO GLAD. I also pray ALOT, and drink copious amounts of tea, Ningxia & coffee, I talk it out & laugh stuff off with Andy and I generally remind myself that these days are fleeting and one day soon Ill long for them. Thats what helps me. How about you?

02.01.2022 Inspired by my gal @selah.essentials Today Im grateful for a heck of a lot. That for me isolation is inconvenient but its possible. ... That washing my hands with soap & running water is not in doubt, ever. That we have an incredible health care system that has jumped into action for this current crisis. That I have a safe, loving home to hang out in whilst we wait for our covid results. That we have a backyard for the girls to play in and for me to feel the sunshine on my face. That I made extra spag bowl last week and dont have to cook tonight. Like I said, a heck of a lot.

02.01.2022 T O D A Y . F E L T. G O O D. The kind of day where I knew all the hard work I’ve been putting in has been worth it. The kind of day where I felt within myself a quiet confidence that I’m on the right track.... The kind of day where I felt a reconnection to why I’m here and what I’m actually striving for. It was a bloody good day.

02.01.2022 Good morning sunshine.

01.01.2022 Happy Sunday. Hope theres plenty of chilling out happening at your place.
