    These Are The Essential Oils I’m Using to Help Me Sleep Better

    June 22, 2020 /

    Essentials work wonders in helping you relax the mind and bring some peace, to help you sleep better and unwind. Have you been sleeping restlessly since being in self-isolation? I know I have. Although I was sort of a home body prior to COVID-19, being stuck more inside than ever before does bring about a certain restlessness to the mind, the body and soul. Yoga has been a great tool to help relax my body, especially when I am spending more time sitting than before than before. However, I have noticed that my sleep pattern is also a little erratic. Waking up at random time of the night, not being…

    Which Essential Oil Does What and How They Can Work For You

    May 11, 2020 /

    Ever wondered which essential oil is what and what does it do? Well, I’m here to explain what some of them do, how they can help you and why you should start using them. The use of essential oils is nothing new. In-fact the art of apothecary has been around for centuries, if not for a thousand years. With most ancient doctors treating their patients using a concoction of mixed herbs and spices, flowers and other plants, as a way of healing wounds, the mind and other illnesses for their time. When searching on the history of apothecary, it’s an interesting tale to be told for sure. Pre Christianity, it…

    Healing The Mind With Aromatherapy Oils

    July 22, 2019 /

    There are so many health benefits to using aromatherapy oils, and healing the mind is one of them. So many I’m sure I have been obsessed with aromatherapy oils since I was young. Using them in oil burners, on dried flowers to make them smell nice and even rubbing lavender oil on my pillow to help me sleep. My mother also loved using essential oil, her favourite were Tea Tree and Eucalyptus oil when I was growing up, and she always had these oils burning around the house as both myself and my brother suffered from a variety of respiratory issues growing up and these oils were incredibly beneficial to…

St Pat cupcakes… the clover looks more like club St Pat cupcakes… the clover looks more like clubs from playing cards… but they still tasted great nonetheless.

I did shortcut these cupcakes with a packet recipe and ready made icing, as I was in a tad of a hurry to get these done before heading off to catch up with family. 

Either way - delicious they were.

I hope you all had a fab weekend 🍀

It’s been a while since I shared a beauty post. It’s been a while since I shared a beauty post. 

So, I thought I would share with you, why skincare is so important, and what skincare products I am loving right now.

Summer is nearly over in Australia, and it’s been a weird season. From a week of over 30 temps, to a week of under 25 temps, before bouncing back to high 30s, it’s been challenging to both physically and mentally balance between the irrational change.

Phew! It was really hot yesterday. But that didn’t stop us exploring the old heritage village at Fairfield Museum.

Full of historical memorabilia from the area, including a fully stocked old grocery store.

Delicious 2 ingredient cinnamon pretzels…. Recip Delicious 2 ingredient cinnamon pretzels…. Recipe from @thebigmansworld

Ingredients:
1 & 1/3 cups of gluten free flour
3/4 cups of Greek yoghurt
Cinnamon & sugar mixture. 
Some melted butter

Tip: add a tablespoon of baking soda to help make them fluffier as gluten free flour can be really dense once baked. 

Method:
Mix the flour and yoghurt together, and make a nice ball of dough.
Original recipe is cut into 8 pieces, but next time I’ll be cutting into either 4 or 6 to make them bigger. Your call.
Roll into smaller balls and then roll those balls into long desired sausage lengths, depending how thin or big you want your pretzels. 
I made mine a little too thin. Next time I’ll make them thicker and shorter. 
Just keep in mind you want to have them long enough to twist into pretzel shapes.
Coat with some melted butter or oil.
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for at least 20 minutes. Let them sit for 10 minutes before coating with a bit of the melted butter again and dipping into a sugar and cinnamon mixture. 
Enjoy fresh and warm, or wait to cool and eat.
