Birthday Boy

Life/Style, Little Creatures - 24 July, 2016

<p>I couldn't resist posting about this little dude's first birthday... C'mon now, you all know what a crazy bird lady I am!</p> <p>If you didn't already know, Thor literally flew into my life at the end of last year - on Halloween to be exact. He was just over three months old when we got him, and me being me (birthdays are just my favourite!), I wanted to firm up a date for his special day.</p> <p>So when I did the math, I arrived at around July 24 - which really made me smile as that was the same date as my beloved grannies birthday...</p>

If you didn't already know, Thor literally flew into my life at the end of last year - on Halloween to be exact. He was just over three months old when we got him, and me being me (birthdays are just my favourite!), I wanted to firm up a date for his special day.

So when I did the math, I arrived at around July 24 - which really made me smile as that was the same date as my beloved grannies birthday...

Flatlay Fit

Fitness, Inspiration - 19 July, 2016

<p>As a fitness, Fitbit and flatlay fan I thought I’d share the top things I reach for when it comes working out.</p> <p>I initially wrote this piece whilst working on my blog collaboration with Fitbit Australia - writing my Little Bit of Fit blog (see below!). I liked it so much, and received so much great feedback on it, I thought I'd elaborate on the details and post it out as a mini blog update...</p>

My little Bit Of Fit

Fitness, Life/Style - 13 July, 2016

<p>I'm no stranger to fitness and a little bit of a geek at heart, so it was only a matter of time before I jumped on the Fitness Tracker wagon. Which I did, two years ago actually - logging every last bit of my active Aussie lifestyle via my trusty Fitbit Flex. Simple in design, and definitely durable enough to withstand more than a few knocks and galah pecks, this piece of kit has tracked my basic steps, distance and sleep data on and off for the past couple of years.</p> <p>But alas, my Flex was beginning to look a little sad and defeated… So when a brand spanking new <a href="https://www.fitbit.com/au/alta" target="_blank">Fitbit Alta</a> arrived in the post for me to review last month I was *just a little bit* excited to upgrade my wrist candy tracker.</p> <p>I've loved exploring (and tracking) all the different features the Fitbit Alta offers over the past month - and taking a heap of pictures along the way (seriously, I took TOO MANY and they took forever to edit!)... In this review, I also share my favourite fitness essential flatlay featuring the top items I reach for when it comes working out. Enjoy! </p>

But alas, my Flex was beginning to look a little sad and defeated… So when a brand spanking new Fitbit Alta arrived in the post for me to review last month I was *just a little bit* excited to upgrade my wrist candy tracker.

I've loved exploring (and tracking) all the different features the Fitbit Alta offers over the past month - and taking a heap of pictures along the way (seriously, I took TOO MANY and they took forever to edit!)... In this review, I also share my favourite fitness essential flatlay featuring the top items I reach for when it comes working out.

Chasing Waterfalls

Adventure, Perthect - 5 July, 2016

<p>Anyone who knows me, knows how much I adore chasing a good adventure... So when my girlfriend suggested visiting Lesmurdie Falls after she saw it on the Perth To Do Instagram, I was packed and ready to go in under an hour.</p> <p>Located just 40 minutes out of Perth (including coffee stops), the stunning Lesmurdie Falls are nestled deep in the hills east of Perth, in the aptly named lush Lesmurdie Falls National Park...</p>
