Ahhhh winter! Remind me why we love it again?! I can name a few things that I do love about the cooler months….electric blankets, open fire and endless warm mugs of tea. On the flip side we are talking…soggy umbrella’s, freezing Saturday mornings watching soccer and dry, chapped skin!
Although I can’t do much to help your umbrella watching soccer situation, I can however, offer some fun facts on keeping your skin silky smooth and soft in the winter months.

Was that crisp air I felt today?!
With summer finally waving goodbye, I am getting ready to embrace the cooler months ahead. I love dressing for autumn and winter because it’s all about layering up, wearing knits and knee high boots.
I recently headed to Westfield Chatswood to get started on my autumn/winter shop and was blown away by the choice of retailers and the fact that I was able to deck myself out in so many different styles all without leaving the building. I wanted looks that were on trend and were going to keep me going through the season changes.

He has joined the stage with some of the most famous humans on the planet including (just to name a few) Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, and the one and only Michael Jackson.

When I first met Julie Stevanja a few years ago, I was struck by her calm nature and her incredible intelligence. This softly spoken girlboss has seen the rise of activewear through her shopping website Stylerunner. She started the business with a want and need to have fashionable gym clothes, and has not looked back since.
As much as I love a long break over summer, there is something really great about getting back into the routine of life! I’m a pretty organised person and I love a schedule, so getting the kids back to school and myself back to work has been a welcome change to endless days of doing, well, not a lot really!
As we all know as parents, packing the school lunch box can be one that requires time and thought if we want our kids to eat a balanced healthy meal. I like to keep life simple so when something like H2Coco comes along in a kids lunch box size – I’m in! My kids love the different flavours and they see it as a treat – which is a win win for us as it’s a healthy, hydrating, gluten, dairy free drink, free of preservatives or artificial nasties.
It’s convenient to pick up from your local supermarket and it’s peace of mind knowing you are sending your kids back to school with a healthy alternative.
I hope your back to school routines are serving you well so far and that you give H2Coco a try for kids too!

I’m trying something a little bit new and a lot out of my comfort zone for me –
