the final leg of the sunset relay

8th July 2015
I like to set myself goals every now and then, and 2015’s goal was to step out of my comfort zone more. I’d say theres nothing like flying to Northern Sweden where theres 24hrs of Sunlight to take part in a 1300km relay with some of the most inspiring Athletes from around the world. Yup I did it. I completed my 6km leg of the relay doing my bit to raise awareness around protecting yourself from the dangers of the Sun. This couldn’t be further from my fitness comfort zone and I found running in those conditions pretty tough but the amazing girls that ran with me and the group of inspirational Ultra-runners that I watched put their bodies through the most gruelling parts of the relay, kept me going. Travelling and living on the tour bus, hearing the stories these athletes had to tell constantly left me in awe of them, 5 times Olympic medalists, 7 days of running with little to no rest were some of the most incredible and to be able to run along side them was an honour. I really enjoyed switching up my usual training and heading outside to the beautiful surroundings as I prepped for the relay, something I know that I and many others are guilty of. When I finished every run my lungs felt open and full of Oxygen which is I feeling I’d like to embrace more often. But of course the best part of it all was spreading a message, a message which needs to be spread far and wide. I have been guilty of not protecting myself accordingly sometimes when in the Sun and in the last year my attitudes and also knowledge on the subject has substantially changed to the point where I wanted to do my […]

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
