Do Lazy Days Make You Feel Rested or Unproductive?
I’ve wrestled with feelings of guilt whilst having a lazy day. Recently I’ve realised that if I don’t have a lazy day every so often I burn out.
When you think “successful” who comes to mind?
These days society often defines successful people by the house, car and boat that they own. Oh, and lets not forget their social media following. This is not how I define success. Who is the first person you think of when you think of a successful person? I’ve got more than one person. The common…

Beautiful Kuringgai National Park Walks
This post is going to become a running commentary of some of my favourite places in the Kuringgai National Park. I want other people to really connect with nature and start caring for her more. Please keep in mind that there is an entry fee to national parks. I have an annual pass that I…
Things to Do To Feel Better When You Feel Lost
I originally typed “Things to do when you feel like sh*t” for the title, but that apparently wasn’t acceptable. Yep, you read that right. What happened to honesty? At the moment you can split my community into three groups of people. The first group says they are great whilst they look like they are running…
The Unexpected Ice Bath Experience Made Me Positively Breathless
It seems like everyone is now talking about ice baths and raving about them. I did one, and whilst I’m keen to do another one, I can’t understand how so many people are choosing to do them every week. I guess that’s just the lizard in me.
Recharging With Spring and Winter Escapes at Billabong Retreat
Billabong Retreat is a yoga and wellness retreat, located in Maraylya (next to Dural), just on the outskirts of Sydney. But on arrival you could be forgiven for believing that you’ve travelled for hours to get to this beautiful secluded and peaceful place.
Pet Dog Jet, I Will Always Miss My Kindred Spirit
Our pets rely on us to look after them throughout their lives, and they also rely on us to make the most difficult, selfless choice at the end of their lives. That choice is a gift. I’ve had to not feel guilty for being so upset by the loss of a pet. They are family…
Mum, There is No Such Thing as a Super Mum
Yes, you read that right, the “super mum” does not exist. Sure, she exists in social media, but not in real life. Why am I writing about this? Because one of my besties (who has three young kids), who is a great Mum, messaged me that I was a super mum. She said this because…
My Caffeine Free Detox, The Hard Truths
About a month ago I decided it was time for me to reduce my caffeine intake, and I decided to go cold turkey. There were a few motivators for this. I realised that I was drinking 5 cups of tea a day and still feeling tired. Also, I was waking up at 3am every morning…

Society Shame, Please Slow Down and Look After One Another
What is happening to society? I must confess to being shocked by the total lack of chivalry in society when I rejoined the world of public transport this year. Mostly because my husband who is allergic to bus travel wouldn’t dream of comfortably sitting on his ass whilst a lady stood. But today took the cake. Whilst I was…
Why don’t we tell people we love them?
Have you ever wondered why we don’t regularly tell the people that are special to us that we love them? This post could be about so many things. Why do people of sound mind get dealt with shit bodies that they can’t live in, whilst people who have lost their marbles and want to check…
Sun Run, take two
This morning Kylie and I completed our second Sun Run in two years. At first it didn’t look like the sun was even going to make an appearance, and we were both flabbergasted by the extremes in weather from last year where the temperature had already reached 25 degrees at 6:30am. We were grateful for…
