❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤ So... 14th Feb this Tuesday, is Valentine's Day... And I'm the first to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the commercial version of it with chocolate love hears and red roses... I just find it a bit tacky and forced. In Finland we call Valentines day Friends/Friendship Day and it's more about showing your love and appreciation to ALL your loved ones, not just your lover/spouse, but your friends aswell. I really like THAT concept. I'm all for showing LOVE, kindness and gratitude towards each other. For telling people what they mean to us and how much joy they bring into our life. So for a little last minute valentine's day gift for your loved one/friend/spouse, there's no better present than a MASSAGE GIFT VOUCHER, even if I say so myself! It's not about buying stuff, but gifting an experience that will essentially increase the recipient's wellbeing, and make them fall in love with the skin they live in! (And that's the base of all other relationships...!) For gift voucher purchases, PM me, call (02)4929 3898 or visit 2/23 Watt Street Newcastle (Peak physio). ❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤

Make Your Daily Routines into Rituals to Improve Your Health
I love Dr. Northrup's wisdom and the juicy bits of advice she shares in her blog posts. I'm a big fan of riruals (my first cuppa in the morning, gratitude journaling at night etc etc) and this article had some great tips on how to charge your day with positivity and peace with the help of daily rituals.

Hey guys, I'm so excited about my kombucha experience! I grew the scoby/fungus/awesome-fermenting-agent from scratch (it's the lighter, floaty bit in the jar!) and now it is turning plain black tea sweetened with raw sugar into the yummiest, healthiest probiotic drink! If you haven't heard of kombucha, it is basically a fermented drink (it's been around for over 2000 yrs) that has many health benefits, such as detoxing the body, aiding digestion, increasing energy and immune health, great for JOINT health due to the glucosamine in it.... the list goes on and on. If you haven't tried it yet, you really should! You'll love it!!!! And your body will too. Ask me for more info if you're interested. I'm happy to share this great "recipe". 😍😍😍😍

I have rediscovered my local library and I'm so excited about all these books I'm finding and loving!! These hot summer weekends and evenings are just perfect for reading under a shady tree or infront of the fan!😁 Here's what's inspiring me at the moment: + the art of frugal hedonism (fantastic book on how to enjoy life more whilst treating this precious planet ours a bit kinder. Read it. SO good.) + animal, vegetable, miracle by barbara kingsolver (a family's year of self sufficient farm living) + a weed foragers handbook (can you spot a reoccurring theme here???) :) + the art of belonging (social analysis of community centered living... im yet to dive into this one) + wild fermentation by sandor katz (sauerkraut, kimchi, sourdough, mmmmmhhh) + craft for the soul by pip lincolne (just lovely. living well and true to you) + paint lab for the kids (maybe I'm a kid at heart as I find this super inspirational!) If you've got any amazing book recommendations let me know. If love to hear about your inspirations. 💙💚💛💜❤
