This week we have a special treat for you all! We are introducing a new segment to the blog:
So to kick it off we thought we’d start with this beautiful new yoga studio from Mother-Daughter team – Light Space Yoga, located in Balwyn, Melbourne.
The other week we looked back to the past and wrote letters to our 16 year-old selves – you can read them or re-read them if you want here. This week we took time out to look forward and wrote letters to the future us. These letters will have their big reveal next year in January.
It was certainly an interesting exercise. Below we each share with you our thoughts and feelings from going through this:
Today we have a wonderful guest post given to us by a close friend, Jonathan.
In this post he shares with us his experience of giving up alcohol for the month of January.
As a bloke, I’m not sure I qualify as a ‘Beauty’. I’ll gratefully accept classification as a ‘Beau’, if anyone is kind enough (and blind enough) to bestow it on me.
This January, I gave up alcohol for the month. I toasted in the new year with Champagne and friends, and then embarked on ‘Janudry’. Which is now drawing to a close…
So, why would anyone voluntarily give up alcohol for a whole month? Well there’s one really important and obvious reason. If you quietly count the number of times and places at which alcohol touches your life during a normal week, you’ll realise how saturated our modern culture is with the stuff. There’s the after-work drinks, that billboard ad on the way to work, the drunk guy in the street on the way home, Dexter slurping thirstily at a bottle of beer with his steak, Friday night work parties, Saturday evenings at home with mates, quiet Sunday afternoon beers, that bottle in the fridge… As a white, western, thirty-something it’s hard to avoid it. Which is precisely why I’m now trying to.
Today we have another first which we would like to share with you beauties – our first interview with our first contributor!
Lizzy Marsh, an inspiring young woman and creator of Primal Junction, is joining the team as a contributor. She will be sharing at least one post a month with you all and you can read her full bio here on our contributors page.
Merry Christmas Beauties!
Wishing you all a wonderful festive day full of joy and merriment.
Have fun, be safe, be grateful and most of all, be kind to each other,
Katherine & Ruby
xoxo
