Four Favourites


January 6, 2016

With a new year always come new inspiration so I have decided to try a regular favourites post where I share four favourites from the week – anything from blog posts, to inspirational articles to new things I just love!  Here is my first one for the year!  Random things this week – things I think you should check out!

First up is the recipe to this amazing cake & cordial I enjoyed last year!  Both amazing and both definitely worth giving a try.
Find the cake recipe here and the cordial here.

I have found a few great You Tube Channels to get into lately.  This weeks favourite is by Mimi Ikon.
Find it here.

I write a gratitude journal every day so when I read this article this week about setting goals for 2016 around what you already have it really resinated with me.
Find it here.

We are heading to the USA for a family holiday later this year.  I have always dreamed of staying at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica – even just one night would do me.  I might be dreaming but you never know!  Check it out here as it is just worth the look even if I don’t get to stay the night!  Would love to hear from you if you have stayed here or have any good tips for other places to stay in Santa Monica!

 


My Best Nine


January 4, 2016

Happy New Year Friends!  Well 2015 wrapped up beautifully and now we are in 2016.  I hope you have had a wonderful start to the new year.  We have just been soaking up the sun here in Sydney and enjoyed some down time pool side! My favourite time of the year when there is nothing pressing to be done while the kids are on school holidays!  

So has anyone else jumped on the best nine bandwagon over on instagram!  I loved seeing everyone posting their most popular instagram posts for the year so I decided to check out mine as well!  No surprise really that it involved a lot of cake and flowers.  My instagram feed has changed a lot as the year has gone on with the change in direction of my photography work and my wellness journey – it is always interesting to see the change in number of likes when this happens!

Instagram however remains my favourite form of social media so while it is lovely to get likes it is more important that my feed shows what I love photographing at this point in my life!  So here are my most popular 9 instagram images for 2015 – some are definitely my favourites as well.
