Why your tribe is so important to what you want to achieve in life

So let me get straight to the million dollar question! What do you want to achieve in life? And why does it matter to you? Do you want to … Raise a healthy and happy family? Create memorable and meaningful experiences?   Contribute to something significant that positively impacts others? Generate wealth that provides a secure foundation for generations to come? These are reasonably common life goals, that I think most of us would quickly say yes to. But, with trying to achieve any of these goals, there’s one thing that most of us overlook. That is, how the people we spend time with strongly influence the direction of our life.   We are strongly influenced by those around us When it comes to achieving the...

What’s left to eat? A healthy and realistic approach for the rest of us.

Personally, I can’t keep up with all the “healthy eating” fads. Can you? Low carb. No carb. High fat. No fat. Dairy free. Sugar free. Gluten free. Paleo. High protein. Raw. No sugar. Low GI, and so on. It’s exhausting! The few times I’ve actively tried to restrict something from my diet I found myself thinking about food all the time, which resulted in eating constantly! And I’m sure I am not alone. While there are examples of super-disciplined people sustaining these types of diets - we all know someone like this, grrrrr, how do they do it! But, for the rest of us, who find this an unrealistic and impossible task, what do we do? What’s the alternative to eating well for the rest of us? How...

The go to green smoothie

Green smoothies are all the rage and it's definitely a great way of getting an extra serve of vegetables into your day. And it's delicious!

So quick and simple.     Enjoy! Georgia ...

Banana breakfast smoothie

Who doesn’t love a smoothie? I love mine as a quick breakfast option, an afternoon snack or a little treat on a hot day. I think smoothies are best when they are ice-cold, so I always try and have frozen fruit on hand. But if I have forgotten, I'll throw in a handful of ice which usually does the trick. I invested in a thermomix a few years ago and I absolutely love it! But you don’t need one to make a smoothie, there are so many good blender options on the market that make light work of whizzing up a few ingredients. I thought I would pop up a few of my favourite recipes over the next few weeks for you guys to try. Let me...

A simple way to bring happiness and vibrancy into every day

I don’t know about you but I find myself being dragged down by the fast pace of everyday life and I catch myself complaining about all the things that went wrong in my day. It might have been the toddler refusing help to get dressed which makes us late getting out the door, a traffic jam getting into work or how long it took me to get my 5 year old to go to sleep. Have you ever thought about the difference it would make if you change your perspective and start to focus on all things good. For example; smiling at the toddler and embracing her independence, enjoying the extra 20 minutes in the car to listen to good music or enjoying quiet time with...
