As a natural born beauty-lover, the idea of ‘romanticise your life’ speaks to my heart. It really just means having a soft awareness around appreciating the small daily moments to notice what makes life beautiful.
It’s a self-love habit worth stoking as it’s life changing, yet costs next to nothing and requires no preparation or psyching up to apply - it’s right here, right now. Romance is on tap and in endless supply.
Read MoreOver the last few Christmases I’ve been increasingly conscious of taking a slow burn approach, rather than burning out.
By not overloading the calendar with events and generally slowing the pace, it’s getting easier to find the balance between enjoying the excitement and action of the season, and avoiding the overwhelm.
Zooming around in a busy shopping centre, market or an event can be fun - until it isn’t. If the stimulation becomes agitating, our heartbeats rise along with the mania.
Today, on this third day of the month, we celebrate three years of life for Esencias.
There’s something magical in the power of three - I find that applying three chunks of effort towards creating something or making a change is significant. If no positive movement comes of it, it’s time to move on.
I’m delighted and humbled that Esencias, as a manifestation of my heart and soul, has successfully reached the three stage.

Read MoreIn thinking about Mother’s Day and honouring divine feminine qualities like unconditional love, nurturance, intuition and creative power, a deep love rises and fills me with gratitude and respect.
These energies are so needed in our world to bring us into more unity, whether in our daily lives as mothers or in how we all flow the Divine Mother’s love to nurture self, others and life itself.
Read MoreLike the moon, we’re in a constant state of change. While everyoneexperiences the flows, it’s a woman’s perspective I’m bringing here from my own experience in accepting and loving changes in myself as life goes on.
I used to worry about my body and appearance and strive to keep it all at some unattainable standard, born of self-doubt rather than loving self-care.
Read MoreReconnecting to a quieter kind of love, the type that is nurturing and gentle, has been a long and sometimes confusing road.
I used to expect love to feel loud, obvious, fast and fiery. For sure, when it comes to romantic love especially, volatile passion and thumping hearts are exciting and wonderful expressions.
Read MoreUntil a couple of years ago, my Christmas mantra was ‘go with the flow’… but it was actually a raging torrent that swept me along and left me gasping on the banks!
Through a big life change a few years ago, I’ve learned to appreciate Christmas more as simply a holiday to be enjoyed.
When I was married, it felt like there were 50 family events with Christmas Eve gatherings until midnight, followed by a string of events on the day itself, then Boxing Day…
Read MoreI love this time of year, from later November into December, when the sun turns up for us in the Southern Hemisphere and a bright future calls.
Read MoreAs I sip my coffee this morning I’m taken back to a monthly ritual I enjoyed for years… Getting comfy in a quiet spot with a cup of coffee and the latest issue of Vogue.
Read MoreThe quiet crackle, bright dancing flame, the scent of heavenly essential oils and soy wax, the warm glow… candles bring some magic to our physical senses as they soothe the soul.
Read MoreWe are too easily walking a path that is not ours. We may feel disconnected, hopeless or even as life is on autopilot. I was here for years surrounded by underlying fears and false beliefs that still sometimes haunt me today.
