A week on my plate… 🥣

A little snapshot of the last week or so.

1-4. A divine plant-based dinner at in Byron Bay and hot nerd catchup with my gorgeous integrative health practitioner friends and . We ordered 2 desserts to share but when you get the last portion of tiramisu at No Bones they bring you the entire tray to clean out (Marique and jo retained their decorum, but you know what happened to me…) 🐷

5-8. My indulgent morning routine when I don’t have kids (trust me - it doesn’t normally look like this). 645 wake. 7 gym. 745 swim. 8 sauna. 9 breakfast with all the Australian fruits 🍉🍍🍌🥭🫶🏼

9-12. Glorious walk round the cape up to the Byron Bay lighthouse with and . We met Marique’s hubby Tim and their kids at the top for macadamia and soy coffees ☕️. Miss these guys so much since they moved to Byron Bay last year. Highly recommend this walk though!

13-14. Trip to the stunning lemon myrtle farm with .nz, to see where they source their organically grown Lemon Myrtle oil (which tastes incredible in recipes - lots of ideas now flying round my brain). 🍋

15-17. Delicious dinner at with the corporate team, lots of chats with the CEO about new plants we want to bring to the market and how we can make herbal medicine and essential oils more accessible to everyone 🫶🏼

18-20. Our car broke down obviously, had to sell myself on the side of the road to get jumper leads 👀 , haven’t done that for a while. Grabbed a fabulous berry schisandra booch from .com.au (schisandra is great for nervous system support). Then snuck in one quick final beach walk before we headed home.

Thanks Byron bay for having me, despite the tropical rain storms it was lovely ! 🌊🍋🚙🌳

First 3 days in Byron Bay ☀️

Over here for a work trip visiting an organic lemon myrtle farm where doTERRA sources its stunning lemon myrtle oil 🍋.

Anti bacterial and anti inflammatory, but more importantly - STUNNING in lemon cheesecakes, lemon myrtle cashew aioli, lemon myrtle infused hummus, lemon myrtle & ginger marinated tofu/chicken, lemon myrtle Greek yoghurt, lemon myrtle banana bread, lemon myrtle Caesar dressing…. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Let’s just say the recipe blogger in me has been seriously inspired.

If you had some lemon myrtle, what would you want to make first?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mamas in my life 🫶🏼

The mamas who’ve gone before me - who so generously offer me their advice, wisdom, and guidance when I hit the next phase and have no idea what I’m doing.

My girlfriend mamas - who let me cry on their shoulder when I’ve lost it yet again, and scoop me back up with their unconditional love.

And for the mamas who are one step behind me - who ask my advice, shower me with kind words about my kids, and momentarily make me feel like I’m doing something right.

Motherhood. The biggest and hardest job / challenge / project / career / mission / blessing / purpose I’ve ever faced. But the absolutely queen-joy of my life.

Externally grateful for my four monkeys 🐒🐒🐒🐒, and that I get to share them with you 🙏🏼.

2 days in Cebu city with my mini 🇵🇭🏯🍧🥭🍚🦶🏼🫶🏼

Realised it’s been over 10 years that I’ve travelled with just one other person, and over 18 without Tony! Slowly finding my feet again as just a simple duo.

Do you always feel bloated and tired after a flight? Here are my tips to avoid that and come off feeling amazing!👇🏼

These are my meals from two consecutive flights from Auckland to Cebu Phillipines, the first flight was 11 hours, the second was 3 hours, with a layover in between.

☕️ Enjoy a coffee as I board, but only from the cafe on the way there. Never drink the coffee on board it’s way too strong and very dehydrating.

🫖 I’ll have one English Brekky tea, then after that it’s herbal tea and water.

💦 I add electrolytes to my water - both still and sparkling (tastes like fizzy drink!). You lose a lot of fluid on flights in your skin and cells, which makes you feel fatigued and your face feel like stretched sandpaper (you know what I mean 😬). Good quality electrolytes contain all the minerals you need in the right ratios, like magnesium, potassium, sodium & calcium + extra nutrients to enhance absorption.

💧Bring a water bottle with you and fill it regularly during the flight. They don’t offer you nearly as much water as you need to avoid dehydration, so always be asking for more.

🍛 I order a special meal - that way you get served first so you can let your digestion settle before having a rest (also means you avoid the queues to the loo). I recommend the low sugar/diabetic meal if you’re Omni as it contains much less sugars and oils and is more macro balanced. Or the vegetarian lacto ovo if you’re vego (the Asian vegetarian is normally a heavier curry or noodles).

🥗 Order the raw vege/fruit meal on one flight. There are not nearly enough low energy dense veges in flight meals, so order the raw vege and fruit plate on one flight. I did this for my breakfast here, then asked if they had a spare regular Brekky to flesh out the protein carbs & fats (they almost always have spare).

🍰 I always eat the sweet treats that come with because - 80:20 rules! And if you’re doing all the above then your calories and macros will be in check so you absolutely can.

If you’re a woman like me in your 40s juggling work, kids, family, schedules, drop offs, picks ups, hormones and more - life is FULL THROTTLE 🏎️.

But if you’re feeling tired all the time, stressed, sore, sluggish, like don't sleep well, have a sluggish metabolism or brain fog… these are signs your body needs some root-cause support. Not just another quick fix, diet, pill, or plan.

That’s where natural medicine seriously shines 🙌🏼

And the strongest form of plant medicine? Essential oils 🌿. They're the immune system of the plant, so because of this, we can use them to help our own bodies rebalance - by addressing the root cause of health issues rather than masking symptoms.

For the last 8 years they've been my go-to for:
✔️ Immunity + gut health
✔️ Hormone balance + metabolism
✔️ Energy + mood
✔️ Sleep + stress
✔️ Pain, tension + inflammation
✔️ Detox + lymphatic support
✔️ Skin + wound healing
✔️ A clean, low-tox home

This week, my favourite brand of essential oils, doTERRA, is having their bi-annual BOGO (buy one, get one free) sale – your chance to stock up on these incredible potent plant medicines, at less than half price.

Inside you'll find some of my most-used daily oils – Lavender, Tea Tree, Ice Blue, Lemongrass, Copaiba, Grapefruit, Purify, Citrus Bloom, Coast, and MetaPWR – the exact tools I use in my home every day.

📦 Buy 5, get 6 FREE – 60% off (NZ$243 / A$221, total value $631)
💧 Plus, get a free Copaiba 10ml oil worth $62, and a free MetaPWR oil worth $68 when you order through my special link!

👇🏼 If you’re ready to start prioritising your health and want not just a set of tools to support you, but my personal support (your box comes with a 1:1 Wellness Consult with me, worth $200), comment START below. I'll send you the 60% off link + my unique code to claim the free extra oils 🔥

You looking and feeling you best doesn’t need to be complicated – it just needs to be simple, natural, and consistent.
I can’t wait to support you with these fabulous plant medicines!
