There’s something about a morning walk when the sun is out and the birds are singing.
It’s simple… but it shifts everything.
Fresh air.
Gentle movement.
A quiet reset before the day begins.
Right now I’m really leaning into the small things that lift my mood — and this is one of them.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or just a bit flat… try stepping outside for 10 minutes. Let the sun hit your face. Listen to the birds. It helps more than we realise ๐ค

Another one for the good list ๐
Had a beautiful spicy chai at Rupertswood Mansion in Sunbury and it did not disappoint โ๐ฅ
Perfect warmth, nice spice level (you know I love it when it has that proper kick), and such a stunning setting to sit and relax. Sometimes it’s not just about the chai it’s the whole vibe โจ
If you’re local or heading out for a little day trip, definitely add this one to your chai hit list.

I have been looking for something with magnesium to help with recovery, sleep and those peri-menopause ups and downs… and I came across She Bang an Aussie company that actually focuses on women that are in peri-menopause and menopause ๐
I picked up the Peri Rose + Vanilla Latte blend (magnesium + collagen) and it’s nice and calming.
Easy to drink, gentle, and I’m really enjoying how it makes me feel so far ๐ค

I haven’t worked since July because of my shoulder injury, surgery and recovery.
The pain, the waiting, and not knowing what I can do work-wise has really taken a toll on my mental health.
Some days I feel positive… other days feel heavy.
If you’ve ever had your life pause because of health stuff, you’ll understand that it’s not just physical, it’s emotional too.
Right now I’m focusing on small things: โจ short walks
โจ sunshine
โจ time with my cats
โจ chai dates
If you’ve been through something similar, what helped lift your mood? ๐ค

Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens in Daylesford it is great for a reset for the soul ๐ฟ
Beautiful greenery everywhere, quiet walking paths, fresh country air, and even a few sweet animals along the way. The perfect spot for a slow stroll and to just breathe for a minute.
If you’re in Daylesford, this one’s definitely worth adding to your list ๐

House hunting update… and wow, it’s been 5 months already ๐
So many inspections, so many “almosts”, and a whole lot of patience being tested.
Some days it’s exciting and
Some days it’s exhausting…
But I keep reminding myself the right place will come at the right time ๐ค
After everything life has thrown at me the last few years, I’m just grateful to even be in a position to look for a new home.
So here’s to staying positive, trusting the process, and hopefully finding “the one” soon ๐กโจ
Wish me luck… I think I’m going to need it ๐

Spotted Marion’s Pad Thai kit at Aldi and thought… why not?
Added just a couple of fresh extras and dinner was done in no time.
Honestly love these “use what you have” nights — quick, easy, and still so tasty. Perfect for those busy days when cooking from scratch feels like too much but you still want something delicious.
Sometimes simple really is best ๐

Crispy bottoms, soft tops, and SO much flavour. Honestly one of those “throw it together” meals that turns out way better than expected. This is the viral recipe with a twist.
Proof you don’t need fancy ingredients to make something delicious just a pack of dumplings and a bit of creativity.
Quick, easy, and seriously comforting. This one’s staying on repeat ๐ค

Another chai update and this one’s a goodie ๐
Tried the chai from August in Seddon (the space formerly known as Common Galaxia) and it absolutely delivers and is delicious, spicy, and properly warming.
If you love a chai with flavour and a bit of kick, add this one to your good list straight away โ๐ฅ
