This beautiful fiddle leaf fig stands guard by my front door, growing upwards towards the first storey windows and the light that filters through them. I've had this house plant for over 2 years and it's still alive! That's a minor accomplishment I'm rather proud of and more than a little surprised about. What minor accomplishment would you like to brag about today?
Reading this May. Yes, there is a laptop there and the reality is, I spent a lot of time reading and watching online last month and far less time in 'real' hands-on print books. I enjoyed reading Belle, a historical drama following the travels of a young girl kidnapped and sold into prostitution. The ending however, a little too neat, tidy and happy to be believable, left me feeling disappointed. Dipping in and out of Naturally Inspired, I'm ready for some skin, beauty and household DIY using essential oils just as soon as my current products run out. Oh, and the laptop? Having started my own doTERRA wellness business during May, there's been plenty of online training and research. #readingthismonth #fiction #OEASIMPLIFY19 #happinessprojectexperience #essentialoils #nonfiction #research
What's even better than delicious nutty Green Mandarin infused dark chocolate bark? Serving it on one of my favourite mini plates, of course! This Paris plate reminds me of three wonderful visits to this beautiful city spread over 25 years and shared with three very special people in my life. Funnily enough, it also depicts a couple of 'must dos' my husband refused to do in Paris but which I fortunately got to do with others.

My fur baby's preferred dinner time is 5pm. If I happen to be home at this time, he politely lets me know. Tonight he was silently tapping my thigh and giving me sad looks as I worked on my laptop at 4:58pm. #furbaby #furchild #chinesecrestedpowderpuff #dogsofinstagram #dinnertime
Today I spent the afternoon in a pink-bathed Brisbane City Hall enjoying high tea my daughter, sister and niece at #DIGNITEA2019. Did you know many women in Australia don't have access to basic menstrual products? Share the Dignity is working hard to end period poverty and is a charity I am proud to support. #sharethedignity #digniteabrisbane #hightea #motherdaughtertime #sisters #cousins #charitea
Just last month we were soaking up the sun on the beaches of Southern Thailand. Fast forward to this week and it's all about flu season. I've had my flu shot and am keeping healthy with my oils. This morning's diffuser blend has Frankincense, On Guard and Easy Air. My husband, who refused to use my immune blend roller, has brought a cold home and is now popping tablets. I prefer a gentler, natural, preventative approach. On Guard is my go-to for fighting off germs. It's in my cleaning products, part of my daily use immune roller and I even added it to my breakfast oats today. What are you doing to fight off the germs and stay healthy this season? #fluseason #seasonal support #naturalalternatives #onguard #frankincense #easyair #breathe #doterraessentialoils
