❤️Self-love Sunday🌞 We hope you got out and about today, even with the crazy weather! “There’s no such thing as bad weather....only bad clothes.” We’ve been listing to @rainorshinemamma book of the same name, on @audible_com. If the Scandinavians can get out and about everyday, so can we and bring the kids! It’s such a great book for an alternative look at the nature-centric parenting philosophies of Scandinavia 🌲🌲🌲 We’ve been enjoying the beautiful Cathar castles around the Aude region 🏰 It looks a lot nicer than it was in the picture! The Tramontagne winds chill to the bone, especially at 700 metres! 🌪😨 So incredible to see the beautiful countryside from such a height! 🏰❤️ #livewellbloom

🇮🇪🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️🇫🇷 What a joy to get back out for a spin today! The weather finally warmed up enough and the rain cleared off 🌞 It might sound like fairweather cycling, but the Tramontane wind is vicious 💨 Also not having to cart around KGs of panniers and bags made a huge difference. Long, slow incline hills were no challenge today and even got to get a little aero on some downhill sections....but you definitely feel a bit silly “getting aero” on a touring bike ☺️ Looking forward to getting back on the road next week and making our way to next host! ❤️🙏🏻 #livewellbloom

WELLBEING WEDNESDAY We think it's the perfect weather for belly-warming soup. What better way to beat the cold than with this delicious, simple swiss chard soup by Emma Kershaw of La Maison du Rire. We are currently being hosted in Emma's wonderful home, which doubles as her wine and food tasting business! The recipe is now up on our website www.livewellbloom.com/recipes and if you wish to view Emma's page please visit www.lamaisondurire.com. #livewellbloom #localproduce #wellbeingwednesday #bellywarmer #foodie #homemade #vegetarian #organic

For the last six weeks we have been so wonderfully lucky to share this beautiful home belonging to our 'french maman' and friend Corine. This home is full of creativity, happiness and sunshine. Everything has been personalised and lovingly put together. This duplex is available to rent on Air BnB and is situated in the rustic french town of Argeles-sur-Mer, only 5minutes drive from the beach and 2minutes walk to the local shops (delicious fresh produce and local wines). If you would like the opportunity to spend time in this wonderful place please contact us for more details :) https://www.airbnb.fr/rooms/8914343?location=Argel%C3%A8s%20sur%20Mer%2C%20France&guests=1&s=DpQUQEJU #livewellbloom #france #travels #holiday #supportlocal #sunshine #exploremore

MOVEMENT MONDAY Finding space, time and places to practice yoga whilst busy or travelling can seem like such a feat. Even as teachers we fall into this mindset that can lead to a few days away from the mat. The beauty of yoga is that you really can bring it anywhere and adapt to your environment. We left our mats back in Ireland so have had to be inventive with our yoga surfaces. There will always be obstacles, life is abundant with them, it's how you think around them and move beyond them that is key. This morning's practice took place on a coconut husk mat with my rose quartz and tourmaline stones and lavender oil. Bliss! All set for today's challenges :) #livewellbloom #wellbeing #presence #yoga #movementmonday #happinessishere #simplicity

🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️🇫🇷🇮🇪 Here’s a little highlights video of our first two days cycle touring through France. There was so much more we wish we could include and that we had shot. But here is a little taster! It may look serene but really there were so many ups and downs and so much that we weren’t prepared for. It was tough but incredible. Here’s to many more! 🇮🇪❤️ #livewellbloom

Beautifully said Susan David! This is why here at Live Well Bloom we share not only our highlights but also our challenges. There are moments or even whole days where we can feel low, sad, "negative", and there are times within that day or maybe not until the next morning where we feel happy, energetic, interactive. Happiness or positivity is not a permanent emotional state. It's ok to feel the way you feel and to learn how to maneuver your way through your feelings, not to push them aside. We are all human :)

🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️After two of the most physically and emotionally demanding days that either of us have ever experienced, we finally made it to our first WorkAway stop! 🙌🏻 To get us through we used chanting, singing, word games, eye spy, favourites games.....everything we could think of to pull ourselves up another mountain or over another single-track! ⛰🗣🧘🏻‍♂️For anyone who has ever tried cycle toured in South of France, you will know.....and for anyone who hasn’t, it’s torturous and glorious and I couldn’t recommend it enough! Here’s to many more months of exploring, getting lost and finding our way 🌍 🚴🏼‍♂️🇫🇷❤️🇮🇪🚴🏻‍♀️ #livewellbloom

And we’re off! 🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️After what feels like an eternity of planing and waiting, we are finally on the road! Our first trip is from Argelès-sur-Mer to Tautavel. Say hello if you see us on the way 👋🏻🌞Here’s to a long season of cycle touring and @workawayinfo 🙏🏻🌻 🇮🇪❤️🇫🇷 #livewellbloom

Our last evening in the beautiful Argeles-sur-Mer! 6 weeks in this magical section of south France. We are honoured and humbled. Tomorrow....we ride!!!!! #livewellbloom #wellbeing #naturelovers #yoga #believe #dreambig #honeymoon #qualitytime
