It’s that time of year again where I go through the virtual shopping aisles and seek out beautiful gifts and treats that I would love to buy for my lovely readers. This has become a bit of a tradition for me and I love doing it every year. You can see last year’s gift guide here. All the gifts that I’ve picked out are all focused on injecting more blissful self care into your lives (obviously!). There are so many…

Hey guys! So you may have seen my Instagram post a couple weeks ago about my periodontist appointment and signing on for Lyme cavitation surgery, which is now TOMORROW. I wanted to do a quick check-in with you guys before the surgery to tell you how I have been preparing (good info for anyone going into any surgery – not just dental!) and answer a few questions about the cavitations themselves. So… before recently, I had no idea what a…
You’ve prepped for days for that meeting, shown up with your game face on, done your damnedest to contribute something useful, and still walked out with a nagging sense that everyone thinks you’re rubbish. Welcome to Impostor Syndrome – therapist Sally Brown has help You may be conscientious, work hard, and have moments when you know you’re good, but there’s always that shadow, that feeling that it’s only a matter of time before you’re ‘found out,’ and people realise you’ve been…

Helllooo, hello! I wrote this on the plane to Maui last week which is truly my favorite time to write — airplane vibes. No WiFi, no distractions, that intermittent fasting alertness — it’s my true heaven. Now I am back in LA and I am seriously high off of good vibes after last night’s guided meditation & soul gazing workshop I hosted in Venice. I have shied away from hosting many events this year due to my health, but they…
Hey guys! I am going to keep this short and sweet for a couple reasons – one, because I am GETTING MARRIED THIS WEEK! What?! And two, because I have been tech detoxing for several days now and I just wanted to pop on for a quick hello… I have been getting so many intuitive messages lately to slow down, turn inward, use technology (and especially social media) more sparingly, and the message was loud & clear that until I…
After a short break, my monthly #SelfCareDiaries interview series is back up and running again. I’m delighted to have Rebecca Price from Nourish By Rebecca on the blog today sharing her experiences of self care and how it works in her life.

Whenever I talk to women about wellbeing and being more healthy, something that always comes up is how to be more consistent with self care! If you: Stay really motivated for a couple of weeks but then ‘life happens’ and it all goes to hell (bingeing, not exercising etc) Are fearful of ‘f**king up whenever you’re in a good groove with your wellbeing stuff Are easily thrown off course when you travel / go on holiday / have a family…
Back at the start of the year (doesn’t that feel like a distant memory now) I blogged about my wellbeing approach for 2019 and specifically my winter intentions. I thought I’d check back in with another post, something I’m going to call my ‘Self Care Project’ with some updates on what’s been going well and what’s not been going so well! So I started the year on a high, but quite quickly things became tricky when I got tonsillitis. I…
However good you are at self care, sometimes things just stop having the same impact. Maybe you’re finding it more difficult to stick to your habits, perhaps you’re feeling tired or maybe you just feel uninspired. Sometimes we need ways of shaking things up to help us find our wellbeing groove again – to make it more fun and interesting! Self care shouldn’t just be the boring stuff (though that stuff is often important) it needs to bring you joy…
