How are you all going?? I am so grateful that we live here in Australia🧡 & my heart goes out to those that have lost loved-ones, jobs, livelihoods & their sense of purpose/meaning in this world... and then we have the stressed and overwhelmed medical, retail & some business/manufacturing sectors that are being pushed to their limits & of course the anxiety & fear that goes with our current situation.
I try to focus on the positives coming out of the current adversity & it is very heartening to see so many people making the most of this time in a positive way, there really is so much good going on in the world....... & I think mother earth 🌏 & all of her flora & fauna are also loving the lack of human activity🦘.....
some recent welcome visitors here :)
I know we all have been affected in some way & I want to use this space as an uplifting & empowering one. I want to focus on what we can do to navigate our time through this & share some tips & resources along the way.
As you know my job has been taken away from me and although I am ok, it surprised me how it still affected me on a core level, mostly losing my sense of purpose😔...... I think it is important to acknowledge & validate where you are and the feelings that you experience & realise that we are all different and each of our experiences & reactions will differ from each other & its also important to take this into consideration with family & friends, giving them concessions & understanding in the current environment. Here are some helpful ideas...
✨Practice gratitude..... Just find one thing you can be grateful for a day & build from there. For more help on this check out the resilience project here........ https://theresilienceproject.
✨being mindful with your thoughts, when you catch yourself in a negative head space try to shift your perspective to a positive one, try doing something nice for someone else & see how that makes you feel.
✨a few things that has helped me recently - keeping up the exercise, mainly walking & yoga, focusing on my family, getting things done around the home & business that I wouldn’t normally have time for & getting to work on some positive projects....
if anyone is struggling in this area please reach out to me I would love to help you. I can offer some yoga nidra/guided meditation, breathing exercises (pranyama) to de-stress or just a chat & cuppa over the ph. more resources below....

Is this you? The most common skin type. This complexion has a mixture of dry and oily areas. Often skin is more shiny/oily in the T- zone section (centre panel, forehead through to chin ) and dryer on the cheeks, but this can also be reversed.
Cleanse – If your skin is combination/oily use Foam Cleanser – shake bottle and dispense 1-2 pumps into hands and massage thoroughly into skin, remove with cleansing cloth. If however skin is combination/dry use Cream Cleanser – Apply 1 pump to hands and massage into face, adding a few drops of water to evenly disperse, remove with cleansing cloth. Repeat if wearing makeup
Tone – Mist 3-4 pumps of Toning Mist over skin whilst closing eyes
Exfoliation – dispense a 10c piece size of Face Exfoliant into hands and apply in circular motions to face, neck and décolletage, adding a little water to spread easier.

Tone – Mist 3-4 pumps of Toning Mist over skin whilst closing eyes
