25.01.2022 This was probably our worst holiday ever..Gosh pictures can be deceiving A few years back we were dreaming of van life so I thought I’d book us a unique Airbnb by the beach on the Central Coast...it seemed like a great way to trial the experience. What you don’t see in this picture is...... That door leads to a bathroom where mossies breed Those windows don’t have any screens It was the middle of summer One of the windows even fell off So did one of the door handles But our host did generously leave us a bottle of wine back in a time when I thought wine fixed everything and don’t the pictures look amazing? We left a day early Just cos we’d paid didn’t mean we had to stay Currently dreaming of the places we’ll go and reminiscing about the places we probably won’t. This still makes me laugh

22.01.2022 Four years ago I was hot mess who ignored her inner voice + wore busy like it was a badge of honor The unfortunate truth is we all know someone like this, we may even be that person. These days it’s so much more about flow. ... I’ve learnt to ride the highs and be still in the silence. Taking time out when my body tells me to slow down. I’ve learnt to listen. I know that nothing forced it ever worth having. I know that busy is a waste of time and not a medal I wish to own

19.01.2022 A passion project with my husband? Hell yes This is coming from a girl who spent nearly two days in bed last week exhausted because her body finally caught up with her overthinking mind. The difference between old me and new me is I no longer pack up and live there. I have the tools to recognise and flow through my cycles with ease.....embracing the highs and the lows and recognising them for what they are.... I listen to my body when it says rest and I listen to it when it says bloody hell yes! People often ask me how I do all the things? I mean I have 3 children I work full time I have an amazing business that requires about 30 hours a week And now an amazing new project with my husband It’s easy, I learnt quite a while ago to say no to the things that no longer lit me up....and guess what I do with that extra time? Yep, all the things (and people)I love You really are only ever one decision away from a totally different life. I mean we all have the same amount of hours in the day as Beyoncé. I can’t wait to share more of this with you all, we’re still in the very early stages but putting it out into the universe makes it so much more real

18.01.2022 ... On this starter kit I put together for a Mumma + her newborn. The combinations and the ways she can support herself, her baby and the rest of her family are endless

13.01.2022 So excited to share " " This is a group for those who don’t have oils yet and it’s a collaboration which means three amazing days with three amazing leaders You’ll get up close and personal with us as we show you our amazing resources as well as how we use oils and options to get you started.... Next sessions are 18th, 19th and 20th of September with 48 hour playback and special offers for those who get started...so what are you waiting for? X

12.01.2022 ....is just my automatic response when my kids ask me for something I usually respond before they have finished the sentence because it’s usually can you buy me this? can you get me that? can I have (insert needless object here) and omg if I hear one more thing about ooshies So today when Lincoln wanted something. I said no before I said yes. It’s a reflex response when I hear mummmm can you?... It got me thinking...what if we are so switched off that we don’t hear the end of the sentence? What if our minds are so closed and so accustomed to saying no to things that we miss out without even knowing what we are missing out on? I know that if I had said no to oils without understanding I would have missed out on so so much and not just the health benefits. I would have missed out on... Empowering others. Gosh I love it when I get messages from my customers because their lives have changed so quickly. This pretty much happens daily. Fierce friendships. The kind of friendships I always dreamed of having before I had them where we talk about goals instead of other people. An amazing like minded community. I never had one so I made one. Travel, so much bloody travel before travel was no longer a thing. So Lincoln finished his sentence....it turned out he wanted to go the park, I’m so glad I let him finish his sentence

12.01.2022 Having to go to work doesn’t give me permission for my mornings to be a sh!t fight I use to think it did. I use to think I only had time to get the kids fed, dressed and lunches done....I never complained if they decided to sleep in their uniforms because it was one less thing I had to do in the morning (honestly).... I’d make a half arse attempt at how I looked and get out the door. (Bonus points if I’d straightened my hair the night before). Talk about about crappy energy, I mean how many days of our lives do we spend having to go to work yet I was choosing to write my mornings off! It wasn’t even a rut it was how I thought life was, how scary is that for both me and my children? I’m grateful for the times I nearly broke because how else would I have known there was another way? We still have the same amount of time in the mornings but I no longer sweat the small stuff, I got oils for that and I’m not scared to use them (on me or anyone else who enters my home). I also make sure I have an amazing night sleep- yep I actually have to plan that because I’m an over thinker who never use to be able to switch her brain off....half the reason I would wake up in the mornings and already feel like crap- thank f for Vetiver. Want to know some other things our mornings now consist of? 10 minutes for mum Snuggles Baths Making Beds Cleaning the house (how good is it to come home to a sparkling clean house) FaceTime Dad Get Coffee Play handball (yep we get a game of handball in most mornings) Deliver Packages Ride bikes to school Anyone else totally flipping the switch on a part of their life that use to be a disaster? X

10.01.2022 Filming today for our Essential Oil Starter Sessions Collaboration.....Here’s a quick behind the scenes

05.01.2022 .... ? The mornings...Yep before I’d even left my house I hate the adrenaline feeling of being late yet I learnt to run on it.... It didn’t matter how early I set my alarm or how planned and organised I was something would always happen! I forgot to do my homework! I left my school bag in dads car! I need money for an excursion It’s green t shirt day (thank f for 24 hour kmart) Someone ate all the recess food (this happens ALOT)! My shoelaces aren’t the same length (yes that’s actually a thing) Can we ride our bikes to school? The dog got out I need you to come in for assembly, all the other mums do (grateful for the new COVID no assembly rule)! The clock would tick, my boss would call (shhh kids pretend you’re not in the car) and I’d be dropping more f bombs than Dr Dre Often when they got out of the car I would burst into tears, totally consumed with mum guilt and vow to do better...until the next day, what a shitty cycle. We needed another way....even with better planning systems in place like our mud room something always seemed to slip through the cracks. This is when I learnt that it really was all up to me. The kids pick up on my energy. If I am frazzled they will be frazzled. If I flip out they will flip out. If I make a big deal of it they will make a big deal of it. So now I flick the diffuser back on with the calming oils as soon as I wake up and the kids give me 10 minutes to relax, I just use whatever blend I had on the night before. I can always get another 10 minutes out of it. I take my LLV supplements. I press a drop of Frankincense to the roof of my mouth. We all apply Balance to the soles of our feet! I often take a Copaiba soft gel (chill pill) just for good measure. What a difference this now makes to our mornings, it’s like nothing is a drama.....They often even get to ride their bikes to school. How good is it to lose the mum guilt? In the right frame of mind we really can achieve so much more

03.01.2022 Bought myself a new cossie...thought I was looking super cute until my daughter @chloeholden99 told me she bought the same one last week Moral of the story? There’s always going to be someone who wore it better....wear it anyway X

01.01.2022 Just relax I’ve got this..today we made memories
