HAIR ACCESSORIES

SPORTY SUN VISOR HEADWRAP!

(From their 'Everday & Active' range!)


I never in a million years thought this kind of visor would suit me at all. I have struggled many years
for a decent hat that one, stays on my head and two doesn't make me look weird!
So I was pleasantly suprised that this one actually turned out looking pretty darn great!
The fabric is flexible and moulds onto my head so there is no way it is going to come flying off which is perfect for windy days at the beach or on a boat and the whole design, colours and size
fit me perfectly!

The design I have is the Black & White Geo and it really suits my style and matches just about anything I pair it with. It also gives amazing sun protection and shade to my face with the firm brim
 which I really important to me when outdoors in the unforgiving QLD sun!

My new favourite hat which has been made so well as the fabric hasn't freyed, faded or overstretched.


Bargain price of only (RRP $14.95) for a hat and one I highly recommend for year round protection and style!
Also available in the super funky 'Purple Space Dye' print!

PUKKA


~  PUKKA  TEA  ~


This time of the year brings many things. Cold weather, fog, wolly socks, snuggly blankets, hot
soup and hot tea. Thank goodness for hot tea's to make me not only feel nice and warm on the inside,
but to also make me feel good from the inside! This time of the year also seems to bring sickness
and the sniffles to our whole household! Blah!

These Revitalise and Three Ginger Pukka teas have been a welcome addition to my daily routine 
because they smell amazing, make me feel energized and feeling more like my old self again.

Revitalise -
 This flavour is my absolute favoutite of these two because it smells incredibly comforting even before I have added water and stirred. The blend of organic cinnamon, cardamom 
and ginger give it a yummy, delicious scent and flavour with a hint of organge peel, elderflower, 
licorice root, sencha green tea, spearment leaf, clove bud and black peppercorn.

Brings the bounce back into your step when you are feeling low on energy and motivation
even though Pukka teas are caffine free! Pretty amazing and makes me feel great about drinking
it completely guilt free! :)

Three Ginger -
I have never been too fond of ginger until I experienced the unbearable 
discomforting feeling of morning sickness. It took about a millisecond for me to decide I'd rather eat ginger by  the whole root then bear another minute of feeling like all of my insides are about to come shooting out of my mouth without hesitation. No matter how horrid the taste! 
(Ginger works miracles if your stomach feels uneasy.) 

Over the years ginger and I have become quite friendly as I have come to really appreciate it.
This tea's scent is milder than the Revitalise but stick packs a punch when it comes to it's flavour.

With a blend of organic ginger, galangal and golden turmeric this tea is beautifully strong and
whilst I have been all snuffly and feeling rotten, this tea makes my head feel less heavy and my body
not as weak. When you can't stomach anything else, this should help. Also contains licorice root.

Pukka tea's also come in a wide variety of other flavours including
After Dinner, Cleanse, Detox with Lemon, Gorgeous Earl Grey, Chamomile Vanilla & Manuka 
Honey, Cool Mint Green Tea, Elderberry & Echinacea w/Elderflower, Lemon & Mandarin, Clean
 Green Tea, Detox, ElegantEnglish Breakfast, Lemon Ginger & Manuka Honey, Lemongrass &
 Ginger, Love, Relax, SereneJasmine Green Tea, Licorice& Cinnamon, Peppermint & Licorice, Star 
Anise & Cinnamon, LivelyEnglish Breakfast, Refresh, Rooibos & Honeybush, Supreme Matcha
 Green Tea, Three Cinnamon, Three Green Tea, Womankind, Three Fennel, Vanilla Chai, Wild 
Apple & Cinnamon.

RRP: $7.95ea (20 sachets per box!)

DECLUTTER


~ M Y   D E - C L U T T E R   T I P S ! ~
          
                             Love your space!


1.) Do I really LOVE this? Not just like but love!
If the answer is honestly no, take a deep breath, don't think twice about it.
Dump it straight out into the wheelie bin where you can't be tempted
to dig it back out again!
(image credit: ecvv)
2.) Does it serve a purpose? If it's just collecting dust, bin it - NOW!
Seriously, stop reading this, get up, go get it and chuck it outside into the bin!
Then make sure you come back and get all comfy again and finish reading this,
so (hopefully!) you'll be all motivated & inspired by the end. :)

3.) Think about a colour scheme for your house or for each room if you
can't narrow it down enough.
For example- My daughters room is primarily pink and my son's is blue.
Then the rest of the house is black, white & grey with a splash of baby light pink
here and there for an extra feminine touch.
Now take a look around. Pick the random stuff out that doesn't match or fit in.
If you absolutely need it or it has mega sentimental value to you.
Ok, fair game. Store the must have, like the crazy purple vacuum away.
(No one wants to see your cleaning products- boring!)
And that precious painting your great, great grandfather did you inherited-
find a frame to suit your decor and give it a special place to honour his memory.

4.) Shop your home. Do this room by room.
Pretend when you walk into a room that you're entering a shop.
Take a look around. What would you actually pick up, put into your trolley
and pay money for? If they're worthless to you, pick up your washing basket, 
fill it up and dump it out into the wheelie bin or straight into the boot of your car to
donate. Don't you DARE open that boot back up until you're at the place you're
dropping your unwanted stuff off to and even then, close your eyes if you have to,
if you think you might be tempted to buckle and keep this or that- just in case!
Don't pay any attention to the stuff you're donating, just do it quickly and get back
in the car and drive away!!
(image credit: Motaen)
5.) Be strict!
Replace the old with the new. DO NOT buy additional items!
If you have to purchase a new decor peice or clothing item.
Go through and get rid of something before you hit the shops!
You'll feel much better when you come home with those shopping bags
knowing there is space for all your new purchases!
Bonus Tip!
Aim to completely fill both wheelie bins (normal & recycle)
by each bin day. I know I've done a good job of de-cluttering
if this happens!  :)

What is your de-clutter method or tips?
Would you like to see my progress? Maybe I could do some posts as I go?
Let me know if you'd be interested!

Notox Box

~ Notox Box ~

June 2014

(FRUIT NOT INCLUDED!)


This fun loving, healthy and inspiring monthly subscription box recently
caught my eye as having hit my 30th birthday this year and with two kids rapidly growing
up before my eyes, it is always in the back of my mind that I need to take better care of
myself. Not only for myself, but I 100% want to be in the best health I can be to make
sure I am around as long as possible, for them.

This box costs $25 per month.
A small price to pay for a big step in the right direction when it comes to what is most important.
Your health, without it, we won't go very far.
 This box supplies you with a broad range of 5-8 different
healthy and mostly organic products to try and hopefully enjoy!
I am so happy with this months box!
There is so much range and all are products I know I will enjoy.

I love the inspiring quotes on the box as well.
Something I need reminding of a lot of the time!

Discover Healthy Living
Keep It Simple
Eat Right
Refine Your Own Success
Relish In Life
Love What You Do
Be Positive
You Are Everything
Get Inspired
Learn About The World
Stay Healthy & Happy
Nurture Yourself
Dream BIG
Give Back
Laugh Everyday
Smile

Some might sound simple enough, but honestly, how often do we really
do all of the above? I know I don't do them nearly as often enough!

I am definitely inspired!

:)

Slender Lasagne Sheets 
250g
 Full Size!
These are so convenient and perfect for someone like me
who doesn't find cooking all that fun.
These come pre-cooked, so half the work is already done for you.
Plus they tick all the boxes when it comes to being healthy and low in calories.


Brookfarm Macadamia Muesli 
75g
I love eating muesli for breakfast, or any time of day
really. Either with milk and added fresh banana and strawberries.
Or mixed with honey and vanilla yoghurt. 
I also love that this is toasted as it gives a bit of crunch and more texture.
Yum!


Vital Organic Rooibos Vanilla Tea Bags
10 Tea Bags
18g
I admit, I am addicted to coffee.
I suffer from very low blood pressure and my pulse rate is
also just above 50bpm.  So although it doesn't do a whole lot,
it does give me a little extra oomph to help get me through the day.
In saying that, I do on occasion love a nice, hot pot of flavoured tea.
I prefer green over black, and I have been really getting into vanilla scents
quite a bit lately so I am keen as mustard to try this Vital Organic Rooibos tea
as I've not heard of this brand before.

Herbal Fresh Hands Antibacterial Hand Sanitiser
50ml
This is the perfect travel or handbag size bottle.
It smells really refreshing containing Olive leaf extract.
Kills 99.9% of germs, so great for when I'm out and about with the kids.
They collect germs galore! Plus it's winter and germs seem to quadruple
this time of year.

Absolute Organic Fairtrade Chocolate Bar with Quinoa Flakes
100g
Healthy chocolate!? I'm so there! :)
Contains 70% cacao. Cholesterol free and contains crispy quinoa flakes
for added texture and crunch. Get. In. My. Belly!!

Chic Nuts Roasted Chickpeas 
25g
I am not usually a fan of chickpeas. 
They just don't taste good to me. They're so bland and have an off
putting texture. These however, come roasted, so are crunchy like nuts,
AND, they're lightly salted, so not so bland!
Great guilt free snack on the go and between meals. :)
