Catching up with a friend recently, we discussed the idea that so much time is lost comparing yourself to others. Facebook statuses and online photo albums allow us to voyeuristically peer into our friends’ lives and make an assumption about them, but we only see what they want us to see. The world of celebrity is often held up as the benchmark for how to live your life – how to look, dress, behave – but the facade often masks the truth. Comparing what’s going on inside of you to the outside illusion of someone else’s life is not really 

Anzac biscuits or cookies are a traditional recipe in Australia. I had never had them before a few weeks ago when I started trying to make a healthy gluten-free version for our post to coincide with Anzac Day in April. When I made them I realized that they are very much like Oatmeal Cookies in the US, but use rolled oats and shredded coconut. In this recipe there is a good amount of sea salt and coconut sugar which gives them an amazing caramel flavor. Note: I made the recipe below with butter and maple syrup and have also included 

Everyone; everywhere in the world, no matter what age, race, religion, socio-economical background, age, sexual preference, gender or aesthetics have something so much in common; to be loved. Best-selling books, albums and movies are all based on the story of “loving happily ever after”, we have role modelled our world on what we have been ‘sold’ love is, so is there really a fairy tale ending to our desires? Every good story that takes us away to another world is based on only the ‘infatuation’ of love. The idea or the notion that love is just like the script we 

In previous blogs I have written about many of the essential things we need to do to function at our best, one the most important being to minimise our exposure to toxins. Toxins find their way into our body through a variety of means, ranging from the obvious – alcohol, drugs, artificial ingredients such as nitrates used in bacon, ham and salami, preservatives, colours, flavours and sweeteners, caffeine, excess red meat, non-organic chicken and eggs and of course fruit and vegetables sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, processed fats – aka margarine and that’s just for starters!  But there is another 

In a world that is driven by mass consumption it is so rare to find a company that still has it manufacturing roots firmly planted in Australia. One Sunday is a beautiful store that is designed specifically for older girls and is entirely Australian owned, designed and manufactured. Their preppy, chic styles have the entire Style Net office wishing they made them big enough for us – think on-trend stripes, beautiful prints and block colours all achieving the perfect balance of classic yet edgy design. We have fallen head over heels for this beautiful label and we were lucky enough 

They say you never truly understand the love your Mother has for you until you become a Mother yourself. I now understand what they mean by that. From the moment I discovered I was pregnant, I felt a very strong connection to the growing life inside of me. I would talk, sing and massage my growing belly and constantly say ‘I love you’. I began referring to myself as Mumma and enjoyed the feeling of closeness you experience while your baby is still in the womb. It is for this reason I did not expect what was to come next. 

Miranda features in this month’s Australian Women’s Weekly alongside Mum Therese and Grandmother Anne. In this rare and beautiful photo shoot and interview all three generations of Kerr women open up and the joys of Motherhood and share some of the tragedies the family has endured. Through it all they agree on one thing, family is more important than everything. To watch the behind the scenes footage from this memorable shoot click on the video below.

Hi there, I’m Sarah Mae! 2 Years ago I was overweight, covered in acne, lazy, unfit and unmotivated. It wasn’t until I was introduced to KORA Organics, all of that started to change. Once I started feeding my skin with Certified Organic, natural, nutritious and Vegan products, I suddenly became aware of what I was putting in my body and how lazy I had become! On June 30th, 2012 I will be running my first ever 10km race on the Gold Coast, QLD. I sent a couple of emails away to both KORA Organics and Tahitian Noni International about the

Are human beings meant to thrive? Or is life just a battle for survival, knowing that death is the end result for all of us anyway? If you consider the wonders of the natural world – excluding humans – thriving seems to be the driving force. Just consider the example of a concrete jungle in your city, where, in the tiniest collection of soil, a blade of grass is growing through, or on top of, the concrete. The blade has no chance, yet it strives for life, aiming to thrive! I believe each one of us is meant to thrive, 

I love soup, everything about it… from the ease of making it, the many varieties and twists you can play with, the smell, the warmth and textures and most of all the instant heart-warming cosy effect it gives. This curried cauliflower soup is everything and more, deliciously rich with a splash of spice, and so so creamy, it tastes so good without a hint of a belly ache, simply delicious and packed with nutrients; giving the understated cauliflower a new lease on life. With a powerful boost of vitamins and antioxidants the cumin, ginger, turmeric and coconut milk gives this 

It’s not something we like to talk about – in fact, we’re probably less likely to talk about bloating than we are about our periods! Yet, over 85% of women get some sort of bloating or water retention during menstruation. While experts are still debating why we bloat at that time of month – they’re pretty certain it’s to do with our changing hormones (again!) – we’ve come up with a list of natural ways to help the bloating bulge: Hold the Salt Bloating is a direct result of water retention, this occurs when there is so much sodium in 

I’d like to share that I have participated in a survey/research project for people who have been vaccinated or non-vaccinated (that would be the whole world). The aim of the project is to determine the health of both groups – do they differ? The Research project is based out of Germany and the result of the survey has been published. You can go to the following link for more information or if you would like to participate in the project. www.vaccineinjury.info The research project is ongoing and the head researcher continues to collate more information with over 10,000 people world 

When I had dinner with my friend Amy last week, she was telling me about one of the girls on her team who is completely overwhelmed with her job. This poor girl was so overburdened that she couldn’t see past the anxiety she was facing over her day to day duties. Amy asked her how she was prioritising her work. The girl replied that she completed tasks according to, “whoever yells the loudest”. She was frozen with worry and as such had no idea what to do first. Does this sound familiar? I call this state of mind “Analysis Paralysis.”
