Last weekend I was lucky enough to be invited away to RACV Goldfields Resort in Creswick, near Daylesford in Victoria.

Read MoreI feel like there is no slowing down lately. We have moved house and put all of our household everything into storage while we live at my in-laws and house hunt (which is proving more difficult than we thought!), I am still working flat out on client recipes, my own recipes and getting everything in order to launch my very own brand of healthy do-it-yourself mixes.

Read MoreHappy new year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful festive season and are getting back into the groove of healthy, balanced meals and a little more movement! I started my new year in Bali this year and it was absolute bliss. Think early(ish) mornings, long walks in the soft sand (great for your legs and pretty much like a foot exfoliation at the same time!), fresh smoothies for brekky, then a dip in the ocean, some beachside stretching and a walk back home. My go-to 'uniform' for my active routine has heavily featured the new Mix Apparel range now available at 740 Coles supermarkets nation-wide.
