As you may know I’m a huge fan of body positivity. For me, a huge part of learning to love myself came with learning to view my body positively.
Recently I stumbled across a different concept – body neutrality.
The idea behind body neutrality is that you don’t have any negative or positive thoughts about your body. Instead you take a neutral approach to it.
It’s accepting your body as it is, but not focusing on really learning to embrace and love it. Keep Reading.
Utter bliss. Zen and centred. Calm. Grateful. Ecstatic.
All it took was an hour to myself.
An hour free of obligations, to-do list and laundry piles. Keep Reading.
I was lucky enough to receive some goodies from Recreate Yourself to celebrate the launch of their Luxe Skincare range. The Luxe Skincare category features the cream of the skincare crop with over 20 luxury skincare brands including Payot, Thalgo, Kora Organics, NIOD, Pier Auge and more.
I’m very picky with what I put on my skin and I’m happy to invest in my skincare. Our skin is our largest organ and my skincare routine is part of my every day self-care practice. If you too like to indulge in your skincare than this Luxe Skincare category is perfect for you. Keep Reading.
Self-care is so much more than just the actions you take or the routines you regularly practice. Self-care is a mindset.
Self-care means knowing and owning your self-worth. It’s knowing your needs are important and being tapped in to what those are.
Self-care means knowing your boundaries. Knowing when to say ‘no’ or when to say ‘hell yeah!’
Self-care is not just what you do. It’s what you think.
When I purchase any beauty product I make sure to check the ingredients and research the brand. I like to know that the products I use aren’t tested on animals, that they don’t contain any harsh chemicals, and that the products I’m putting on to my skin won’t be detrimental to my health.

I’ve always classed myself as a low maintenance kind of girl. As one of those girls who can get ready in 10 minutes.
And maybe I labelled myself as low maintenance because I thought it would make me seem like one of the “cool girls” or more attractive to guys. After all, Cosmo always told me that men like the natural look and easy going girls.
While I no longer wear the low maintenance label with pride, it’s a sentiment that still holds true.
I don’t believe I need to wear makeup. I’m happy to leave the house with a bare face and unbrushed hair. Keep Reading.
February can be a month where it’s hard to feel like you’re enough. Valentine’s Day can be wrought with anguish whether you’re single, shacked up, or anywhere in between. Or if you’ve fallen off the wagon when it comes to your New Years Resolutions, you might be feeling pretty rubbish too.
So this month, I want to shift your focus.
And I want you to join me.
I’ll be ramping up the self-care. Practicing what I preach when it comes to self-love. And completely devoting to myself.
And boy, does it feel good to put those words in print and to set the intention. Keep Reading.
It might be halfway through January but I’m still feeling the New Year vibes. The year ahead looks bright and the possibilities are endless. I’m still excited to dream, create and watch everything unfold.
My intentions and goals are front and centre in my mind. And in my journal.
My planner is a trusty sidekick and I’m ready to make 2017 the best year yet.
