Last Friday I took the day off from crazy advertising life and headed on a road trip with three of my favourite Perth girls to Margaret River.
Located three hours south of Perth, the beautiful Margaret River region stretches a stunning 1000km along WA's South West coastline, and has all the ingredients to make it the perfect escape; fine wines, dining and perfect waves...
It was thanks to a cheeky flick through Instagram between meetings one afternoon that I first stumbled across snaps of Flora & Fauna's delightful and decadent offering.
Delightfully tucked away on Lion Walk, just off Aberdeen Street in Northbridge (just look out for the cute bunting), it's easy to see how this quaint little hole-in-the-wall cafe has won the hearts of so many Perthians...
NAMAST'AY IN BED is about as Yogic as I felt at 7am last Sunday morning.
Admittedly this was a result of the Beauvine Festival 'tasting' a group of us had indulged in the night before, but 7am on a Sunday? Yikes.
A few months ago, a group of us booked places on a springtime Yoga day retreat up in the Perth Hills, for a day of chilled relaxation and recuperation.
We were also totally enthralled at the notion of chanting...
So, we've all been there. Had the 'bright idea' to do something like a 50km bike ride, secured a place months in advance and like, totally planned to train 'next weekend'.
Before you know it, it's the night before, you've done sod all training and the thought of getting up at 5:30am nearly makes you cry as much as the idea of actually pedalling 50km from Freo to Hillarys (via a loop up to Burns Beach and back).
And don't get me started on the lycra and butt pads...
As most of you know, I'm an absolute crazy bird lady, vibrant colours adorn my life... and who doesn't love a glamorous 'sexy-face girl'?!
It makes perfect sense therefore, that I should have an absolute obsessive crush on Perths very own Anya Brock. She is just ridiculously talented, iconic to Perth and to be quite frank, I love her. Here's why...
Oh, and this is Angus - Anya's newest addition to her Perth mural portfolio at Holly Raye's in Bassendean :)
Ahh, the IGA Perth Royal Show. Every Springtime, the country comes to the city for eight whole days, bringing with it the cream of the crop from the world of agriculture. From woodchopping to pig racing, showjumping to dog shows and steam engines to the competitive world of baking... the Perth Royal Show has it all.
This blog has been a happy accident for me, conceived ultimately as an innovative extension of my Instagram, coupled with the desire to creatively showcase my adventures Down Under. And isn't WA just the Perth-ect canvas?! So here I am, with my very own slice of cyber-space..
