Can you identify all the ingredients in
your moisturiser?
I'm a huge fan of using 100% cold pressed oils on my body in winter with a couple of drops of essential oils popped in. The fewer ingredients in your beauty products and food the better!
My fave is almond oil, but coconut, apricot kernel, macadamia, black sesame
and avocado are all great! It’s really economical too! About $7.95 for a 250ml
bottle of almond oil and a ten cent piece amount will do both arms and legs and
a bit in between.

Top 5 Things I LOVED This Wk:
1. Buying a world map and sticking it up on my bathroom wall
so I can lie in the bath and dream up big adventures.
2. After rushing about and using my analytical mind all day
planning, expecting and preparing, I finally sat down at my herbalist
appointment and saw a little quote that said “The most beautiful experience we
can have is the mysterious” by Albert Einstein.
3. When you’re driving home after a massive day at work and
the last thing you want to do is buy groceries and cook dinner. Then your
husband calls and says dinner’s on the table.
4. Finally joining a private health fund. I know this
doesn’t sound like a big deal but we’ve been “discussing” it for over 12 months
now.
5. The fact that today I’m wearing jeans, ugg boots, a long
sleeved top and a hoodie and tomorrow I’ll be in tropical Bali at a yoga
retreat in the mountains!!! Ticking off another of my New Year’s Resolutions.

Smile brightly this week. It makes you look even more beautiful!!
Top 5 Things I LOVED This Wk:
So I’ve been off in the hills of Northern Bali in a tiny
village called Tejakula doing a Hatha retreat my yoga teacher from Bello
organised. I thought I was just going for a bit of yoga and R ‘n’ R. Turns out;
it was hugely transformative for me. My heart now feels like it glows again and
I’m inspired right to the very seed of my soul xx
Being my 50th Top 5, I’m bringing you a very
special....
Top 10 Things I LOVED –Balinese style!
1. The empowerment of travelling solo.
2. Bathing under my outdoor shower while thunder and
lightning lit up the sky.
3. Pastel pink lotuses the size of iceberg lettuces.
4. The coolness of the polished cement floor while
practising yoga in the steamy 30 degree heat (pictured).
5. Not knowing what day it was for ten days, but more
importantly, not caring.
6. Mango, papaya, coconut milk, lime, clove, ginger,
cinnamon and cardamom smoothies. Like a mango lassi and a chai made love.
7. Being doused in holy water by a Balinese priest at the
beach. Apparently I needed a good cleansing.
8. Chatting over the dinner table with fellow yogis about what
we did that day. Answers were along the lines of “Well I read a book for 4
hours, then I had lunch, then I read for another 3 hours”. Or “I went to the
day spa for 3 and a half hours, then I had a two hour nap”.
9. Whizzing up the mountain on the back of a motor bike with
a cute Balinese boy. Dodging cars, roosters and stray dogs, often on the wrong
side of the road around narrow bends. Don’t worry Mum, I had travel insurance.
10. Asking a pair of Balinese guys which way to Bingin
Beach. One points left, the other points right. Bali in a nut shell!
Namaste.
