Convenient food options are often unhealthy options. Muesli bars are full sugar, protein bars are often packed with unnatural ingredients and pre-packaged goods are usually overflowing with additives and preservatives. So what do you eat when you are on the road or racing between meetings all day? I often get asked...
“Breathing is the first act of life and the last. Our very life depends on it. Since we cannot live without breathing it is tragically deplorable to contemplate the millions and millions who have never mastered the art of correct breathing.” – Joseph Pilates, Return to Life Through Contrology Bringing awareness to...
It’s been a long time since I have used the blog to vent but this is something that infuriates me. A Current Affair aired yet another segment designed to discredit Paleo Chef Pete Evans last night and as far as I am concerned it just further discredited the program and the Australian Medical Association, so well done...
Well I have been a bit quiet on the blog and on social media over the past few weeks. Instead of whipping myself up about it, I decided to write about it. We can be our own worst critics and I for one am very good and chastising myself for not being on top of everything all the time. But when we have a lot on our...
Well I am officially at the end of my ‘21 Day No Complaint Experiment’. And how did I do? Let’s just say, it put a whole lot into perspective. Let’s look back at the video on the Truth Theory Facebook page that started that started this whole thing. The concept that “complaining rewires your brain for negativity”...
Here it goes. Today was day one of the 21 day ‘No Complaint Experiment’. I was scrolling through Facebook last night and stumbled upon a video posted on the Truth Theory Facebook page. The first thing that caught my eye were the words “complaining rewires your brain for negativity”. Seems pretty simple. It goes on to...
I am a self-confessed impulse shopper. I love to shop. Clothing and shoes are two of my vices. I often go to the shops, just to have a look, with no intention of buying and walk out with an arm full of bags. Granted, I know how to find a bargain and if it’s on sale, I reckon I have made money. Surely that’s justifiable....
We are preparing for the yet another long weekend here in QLD, Australia for Labour Day. The fourth four day week we have had in a row. I used to love long weekends and the thought of a four day work week, but when you work for yourself, it’s tough. You either don’t get paid or you still have to work while everyone else...
What is wellness? As regular contributor and Naturopath Angela Derks always says, wellness is holistic and it is about being the best version of you. This whole website is about providing tips to help you to become the best version of you, whatever that means, because we are all different. And because we are all...
So the weekend just gone was all about excess. My partner and I travel to South Australia each year in February for the Cellar Door Festival in Adelaide. It is, without a doubt, the best annual wine event in Australia. With over 180 producers, there is plenty of wine to taste. And cheese, don’t forget the cheese. We...
