If you haven’t tried almond milk lattes I suggest you hunt down the nearest cafe that serves them this weekend and get yourself one! Best Hamilton almond milk latte is at Jack’s in Hillcrest.
As you may know I’ve just returned to kiwi land from a big European adventure. On my travels one of my favourite things to do was take and edit pictures. We had a gallery wall in our hallway at home and I had visions of adding all the amazing sights from our trip. Now we are home again (woop woop!) and I can finally begin looking through our pictures and selecting the coolest ones. Hard much?! In the meantime I’ve created these inspirational quote pictures to share…

I speak a lot about mindfulness on my blog because it is a treasured practice that has transformed my life in a very subtle and gentle way. I have recently been asked how you practice mindfulness and what it is, so I jumped at the chance to share what mindfulness is and how it has changed me and the way I relate to life. I know that through teaching someone else I automatically strengthen my own knowledge and passion and I always end up refilled as a result. So, here’s what I know to be the basics of mindfulness practice. Continue reading How to practice the basics of Mindfulness
This morning I sat at a little Italian cafe, coffee in hand, marveling at the very experience. I put my phone away (I’d already taken my coffee pic) and pulled out my notebook. This is what I wrote; Continue reading Gypsy Spirit

Introducing…
Daily Bliss
a simple but very powerful practice which will definitely bring more delightful, gorgeous and inspirational moments into your life, Here’s how…
For the entire month of June I challenge you to maintain a daily bliss practice.
Here’s how it works
Do something special everyday, just for you, as a way to treasure yourself more. You can show yourself greater kindness, love and compassion by giving yourself permission to experience joy, abundance and beauty on a daily basis.
Make it spectacular, spontaneous or simple. Just make it yours.
So, why should you take part?
Well as women, we tend to put our own needs last by focusing firstly on taking care of everyone else in our family circle. What many authors, teachers and wellbeing leaders are now saying is that this method of care is limited. That in order to give our special people the love, time and focus they deserve we must give it to ourselves first.
When we do this we find strength in our inner stillness and are better able to share more of the love in our hearts with the special people in our lives.
So often we feel guilty about doing something special just for us.
We make excuses like, “it’s too much trouble”, “it’s sooo self indulgent”. We say “no thank you, I’m fine” when something is offered to us. We pride ourselves on being selfless.
But by accepting more of the good in your life, you are not being selfish, you are being self-full. You are saying yes to the universe. You are saying “I am worthy of this special moment, this great gift, this moment of ‘me’ time”. By creating this as a daily practice for the month you are allowing yourself to accept more of the good stuff life has to offer you.
Are you ready?
June 1st is when we begin. If you need some inspiration I’ll be posting my daily bliss pics on my facebook page here
I would love, love love for you to join me on this journey into more happiness, self-love and bliss.
And I would love even more if you want to share your pics with me.
Just use the #dailybliss
Lets do this!!!
Boom!
This weekend’s wellbeing tips are all to do with creating room for more bliss in your life. Saw this pic and thought… that is bliss!
Bliss doesn’t have to be extravagant or over the top, it can be as simple a moment of connection with beautiful mother nature.

Find your strength in the sweet stillness of a moment alone.
