If I’m any more relaxed I may just slide off my chair… Sitting here right now, alternating...

So as you would have seen I’ve been at @eden_health_retreat for the last 6 days + apart from posting stories for 30 seconds on most days I really tried to be present with a digital detox (plus coffee/sugar/gluten) + all I can say is holy sh*t, this is how I meant to feel?! Rested (I slept up to 8 hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep a night with no kids or dogs waking me 4 times a night), I had no stress (apart from thinking when is my next meal). I’m not sure if it was being in the bush + nature that was the best bit, the schedule (or lack of if you wanted that), not cooking or the combo of them all but I couldn’t recommend it enough. Expect plenty of @eden_health_retreat snaps + take always I’ve learnt this week - plus an epic blog to finish it off.

I’m feel oh so zen post @eden_health_retreat (blog to come soon) that I’ve kinda forgot it’s Christmas soon... so just in case you’ve forgot too + need to get some (mindful) shopping in - shameless plug here but @littlewildlingco organic teas or bath salts is always a crowd pleaser!! This week only you can also get a free tea strainer with each large 1L jar purchase.

Remember that person? Remember sleep?! Remember when you didn’t have to work so dam hard to prove you could still be a major player in the work world AND still remember all the appointments, meals and 101 to keeping your family alive? I sure as hell try but don’t always succeed. That’s why I’m not giving myself any sass or feeling bad heading away from everyone for six blissful nights at @eden_health_retreat because having time to fuel up the tank, rest, sleep, move and regenerate helps me be a better person. Stay tuned for how I go - and how many hours of work I can sneak in 😂

I put on my Herbalist @littlewildlingco hat on today + wrote an article for @sporteluxe Why Herbal Medicine Could Be The Answer To Your Stress And Anxiety // I’ve added a link in my stories to read more but it’s a goodie.

Its about how adaptogens are paving the way for healing ourselves in the future.

There’s no hiding from it, the stress in today’s day and age is almost lurking in every corner… from home life, work and office politics to the constant connections of being online. While it’s hard to prevent, there are however some things we can do to help combat the effects it has on our body (hello gut health, digestion, and sleep troubles!)
My go to to help?
I Need A Moment by @littlewildlingco - I created this particular blend for this very reason!
Pic of me + my @frankieandjet wing gal @hayleymvs doing alllll the work. Because we look like this daily at the office 😂

This is how we end our FriYAY work day, playing with the new office @brevilleaus Bluicer with some berry + cucumber mocktails (ok with a little gin...) sooooo good! On another note this unboxing is so dam fitting as I’m in major cleaning/decluttering mode so it means goodbye to doubles ups of blenders/juicers + everything in between in my cupboard + hello to the all in one beauty!! #breville #bluicer #collab

Anyone else in panic mode that the years almost over?! While most are winding down already I feel like we’re speeding up!! So much to do, so little time!! Butttttt I’m so close to (forced) chill time at @eden_health_retreat next month + then a little downtime with the fam in WA over Christmas. These photos? Totally irrelevant to this post BUT just been scrolling through my old photos passing timing before my warehouse opens at 730am and just LOOK at his pure joy at ‘exercising’, something we all should be bringing back to our workouts, am I right?
* adds to diary - schedule an actual workout.

So @shn_slvr is in Noosa without me today on @littlewildlingco duties + catching up with friends. More than a little jealous, so I’m just going to put this here + try to actually go for a surf here in Sydney so I’m not a white wash chic for life 😂

As much as I try to nail ‘balance’ I don’t. I prob won’t + I’m totally cool with that. I’m always going to be that all or nothing gal. All in with health/supplements/water or an UberEats queen. Always full throttle in work mode loving every minute but trying to remember to have a life somewhere in between. Money saving boss or over the top spending (spoil yo self I say). It changes week to week. From today? Back on board to being a heath goddess, recycling + up cycling + trying to remember to chill the f out. There’s also only 23 days til I visit @eden_health_retreat so I’m trying to get a head start of some goodness to carry across into next year. Maybe there’s still a chance for me!

See this picture of me, happy healthy and smiling? Well it isn’t by accident. In fact it takes a lot for me to be in this state as I’m quick to drop my bundle and when I do it can be hard to get up. Stress and low immunity go hand in hand for me so I’ve written a blog (see stories to swipe up) where I share some tips and my fave practitioner only products (here’s looking at you @medlab_clinical) to help – as they say, prevention is better than cure!!
If you don’t have time to read the blog here it is in nut shell.
Exercise. Yes, you have to.
Nourish. Cut the coffee to one a day and drink all the herbal teas and water for the rest of the day. Eat regularly to help those blood sugar levels. Hangry is real and she is scary.
Take supplements that do the work for you. Ones that can multi task and that can be trusted (swipe next image).
Take time out for yourself. Yes, just you, not with your friends/partners/kids. Just you.
What are your non-negotiables to help combat stress and keep your immune system in check?

There’s enough jerks in the world, be one of the good ones. Care. Check in with people. Do things without expecting anything back. Don’t screw over your friends or let other people screw them over. Stick up for the under dog. Recycle. Smile. Don’t be a dick.
Pretty simple right?
