Finding joy in moments of surrender

May 25, 2015

15.05.25_joy and surrender post

One of my go-to Joy triggers in life is spending time in nature.

The connection between joy and nature for me is so strong, sometimes I’ll drive 40 minutes to the ocean just so I can feel moist sand under foot. The explosion of joy from my soul is almost instantaneous.

Perhaps you feel the same?

Feeling nature’s vibration through my body tells me I am alive. My senses are dancing, rather than drowning in the white noise of the city.

Here’s the irony…

Favourite Finds – Lewin & Reilly Women’s Skin Trio

May 15, 2015

This is one local brand that is ticking all the boxes right now.

And their story goes something like this…

Husband and wife duo, Kim and Andi, first discovered the concept for their skincare brand while honeymooning in the idyllic Cook Islands. The pair share diverse backgrounds spanning wine making to publishing, but it was the abundance of natural ingredients available in the South Pacific that captured their hearts. They also recognised the huge impact these special ingredients had on the health and wellbeing of the native people.  Several years later and back on Australian shores, they believed a skincare line would be the finest way to bring awareness to the healing properties of  these plants and oils.

Sourced from sustainable farms across the Pacific islands and Australia, their formulas combine wild harvested and Organic oils, butters, hydrosols/floral waters, waxes and potent plant extracts.

Resistance: why it shows up when you are playing big

May 11, 2015

This week has been a very interesting one.

You may have noticed I re-launched A Conscious Beauty’s website – a brand-spanking new look with my face all over it. Was I busting out of my seat with excitement? Nup.

You see, one small but critical word, has been the devil on my shoulder:

Resistance.

And why?

Simply, resistance to revealing the true me to the world. Dancing me and me with face mask smeared all over it. That authentic kinda me.

As resistance was building, other (very important) areas of my life started to fall away. Things that are typically routine for me like nourishing food, regular exercise or even communicating with family and friends became a chore. Instead I chose to succumb to the back and forth, round and round thoughts. Suffering becomes pleasurable. And A Conscious Beauty graciously waited a whole week to be announced to the world.
