Balance


Are you moving forward or standing still?



Top 5 Things I LOVED This Wk:
1. Homemade banana chai ice cream and mango passion fruit sorbet. We’ve been palming it off to all our friends and family.
2. Taking off on a wave at Arrawarra point, then looking over my shoulder to see my husband had joined in for the ride.
3. Starting 2013 with a healthy body and a clear mind. It’s going to be a GREAT year!!
4. My husband driving over to hang out with me while I waited for the NRMA. He brought me a mango, gluten-free brownies and a coconut water and we tore around the car park on our skaties.
5. Our regular fish and chip shop was closed so we went to a new one that turned out to be ten times better. Then we turned left instead of right at the beach and stumbled across a perfect little creek where we spent the afternoon eating and floating with the current.

Don’t forget to have a theme for the year ahead. Eg luxury, spontaneity, rest, playfulness… Mine is honesty and freedom. What’s yours?





 Can you relate?






Top 5 Things I LOVED This Wk:
1. The Brady Bunch. Seriously.
2. Walking along the beach, my head full of thoughts. Looked down and saw a heart shaped stone. I stopped to pick it up and decided it was a sign.
3. Reading a book in a cool bath on a 37 degree day.
4. When you start cleaning one part of the house and then you’re on a roll and all of a sudden you’ve done two loads of washing, washed the dishes, weeded the garden, vacuumed the floors and cleaned the bathroom. Doesn’t happen often so I thought it was worth mentioning!
5. Learning new Japanese words for my trip every time I go to buy sushi from the new onigiri bar in town.

Mid-January already… Write down your goals or theme/word for 2013 and stick it on your mirror so you are reminded of it every day!

Get a (balanced) life.



  • I love my little shop. It consumes me in both a positive and negative way. But I’ve recently come to a realisation that when I catch up with friends or acquaintances the first thing they say is “Hi Emma, how’s the shop?” Don’t get me wrong, the shop is my baby and all my blood, sweat and tears go into it. But I thought to myself, I used to be “fun and carefree Emma” who loved yoga, gardening, surfing, live music and travelling and now I’m “stressed and boring Emma” who works a lot and spends Friday nights doing bookwork. Who is this girl and where did her life go?



  • Subsequently one of my (many) New Years Resolutions for 2011 was to have a life outside of the shop. So this year I’ve started playing tennis, have discovered a fanatical love for pilates and am currently halfway through a yoga intensive course! I took a holiday to Noosa last month, am heading to Melbourne next month and am going to Sydney in December.



  • It’s safe to say that my happiness levels have increased ten fold. I used to think I didn’t have any time, but now I’ve realised that I just wasn’t making time. So if you’re living in a comfort bubble, also known as a rut, pop it and get to know yourself again. I highly recommend it. So now people are starting to say to me “How was pilates last night?” and “Did you enjoy your holiday?” Yes I did, thankyou for asking :)
