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...

There’s a famous poem that I read the other day that really resonated with me. Hundreds of people come into our lives, some of the relationships fleeting and others that last a lifetime. I am a firm believer that if you find it a struggle or an effort to maintain a friendship or relationship of any kind, it’s probably...
We all have beliefs about just about everything and unfortunately many of them hold us back. Now I’m not talking about religious or moral beliefs necessarily I’m referring to our opinions that we believe define who we are. Many of these beliefs are the source of a lot of our emotional suffering and keep us stuck...
Quality of life – it means something different to every person. Entrepreneurship is a bit of a buzz word at the moment and in the world of entrepreneurship there are vastly differing views of what constitutes success and satisfaction. You’ve got people who love to keep busy, like myself, and then there are people who...
It’s a new year and with that comes resolutions, diets, detoxes, fresh starts and a whole lot of talk. We all start out with great intentions at the beginning of a new year. Whether our energy is directed towards improving our heath or fitness, stepping up the corporate ladder, buying a house or dedicating more time...
I’m using this week’s post as a bit of an opportunity to vent. It’s about something that I am struggling to get my head around. Everywhere I turn, there’s a new guru in the area of self-development. Now I am all for people putting themselves out there, offering their wisdom and / or experience to help people improve...
