I thought I’d do a quick post about my recent trip to Hobart. Hobart is the capital of Tasmania and sits nestled between the river Derwent and the beautiful Mount Wellington.

I’ve heard multiple debates about the pro’s and con’s of buying organic so I thought I’d give you my scoop on the topic and ways to determine whether you want to make the change 🙂

Living in Australia means you need to find your ‘go-to’ bikini designers. I had never really had this problem before I moved here, my yearly holiday to somewhere hot was always teamed with a swimsuit I had picked up from the airport or next to the hotel upon arrival.

As you may have read on my meal prep post we recently headed down to Melbourne on a road trip. On the way back we decided to cut the 9 hour journey and stay in Canberra overnight…

I never thought I’d write anything on my personal battle with a skin condition. Throughout my childhood and teens (and most of my twenties) I would always get compliments on my clear complexion.

STYLE FILE. xx Its so easy to wear something knowing it is created just down the road at Bondi Beach. ‘This is first base’ is an iconic Sydney brand fusing simple pieces with a sports luxe, edgy feel!

When a new ‘trend’ hits its hard to tell in the beginning whether it will just be around for a season or so or it’s worth investing in! I have a feeling that this off the shoulder trend that I have fully embraced this summer might be around for a while 🙂

…and my take on Valentines Day. If you’ve been following my blog (for the 3 weeks its been live!!) you may have noticed I like to make things. Don’t get me wrong, I love a nice shopping expedition too but when it comes to special occasions…

Tips for a better nights sleep: My struggle with sleep has been with me all of my life, as a child I hated going to bed and I would do anything in my power to distract my parents so that I could get an extra half an hour downstairs.

So…its been over a month ago that I started my getting back into it phase. I’ve pretty much only been eating clean and since January the 1st I’ve run every second day which has been tough but achievable.

It’s clearly no secret that I love my sneakers and even better that they are now considered a ‘luxe’ staple in your sports closet! I love my new stan smiths and teaming them with ripped jeans and beachy hair is definitely win win for me!

Towards the end of last year I had really dropped my training regime as other commitments took over and I wasn’t prioritising my diet and exercise at all (which is not like me!). I actually gained 5kgs…

It’s safe to say that having time to ‘relax’ these days can be a struggle. Monday to Friday is usually work and the weekends are crammed with all the other things you want to do and people you want to see.

There is such an amazing choice of off-duty ‘athleisure’ gear at the moment that I had to share with you some of my new favourites 🙂 (finally I got my hands on a pair of stan smiths….they have sold out every other time I’ve gone to buy them…so happy!)

I don’t think I remember a time where sportswear has been so accepted. Wearing some Nike dunks and cotton harem pants was never something I would envisage me stepping out of the house in.

If I could describe my style the things that come to mind are: monochrome, easy, masculine, clean lines with elements of luxe thrown in. I have always been obsessed with fashion to the point my mum refused to go shopping with me as a teenager…

If you follow me on Instagram you will know only too well that I love my smoothies, in fact I think I’m an addict! In mid 2014 I was extremely lucky to get the Professional series Vitamix as a present…

As if the crystal clear, warm water and white sand of Hamilton Island wasn’t enough…..when I stayed on this hypnotic island only a few weeks ago I wondered how it could get any better.

Wearing compression gear is something relatively new to me. I would always chuck on some old leggings none the wiser that my performance and recovery could be enhanced if I joined the compression bandwagon.

I’ve lived in Australia for 7 years on and off and I have seen quite a lot of this beautiful country. It’s safe to say that when I moved back here one of the biggest attractions for me was the natural, raw beauty of this place.
