Whole Food


My interest in nutrition and what we consume in our daily diet has always been of interest to me so when I stumbled across this book at my local fruit shop/deli yesterday I couldn't help but buy it.
It is called "Whole Food" and is simply about eating good food the natural way. Authors Gavin Pitt and Rachel Thomsom have interesting backgrounds and have observed how people feel and look better if they eat healthier and more nutritious meals. I am definately looking forward to trying out some of the recipes - blueberry truffles and coconut and lime tartlets. It all sounds to good to be true. I will deliver my experience once I have made them to see if they are as good as they sound.
And speaking of looking and feeling better - now that I am pregnant with my second child I have made a concious effort to be extra vigilant with what I consume and put in and on my body. So I have been researching some more natural alternatives to my chemical laden face cream that mind you cost a packet (more fool me right) and does absolutely nothing for my skin and probably never will.
So two products that I have found that are definately worthy of a mention and I am sure there are zillions more are:
Joliv offers an exquisite range of chemical-free, environmentally friendly and entirely natural beauty products and comes with a unique guarantee that they contain absolutely no harmful or artificial ingredients. Better still every product is freshly hand made, from scratch, to order. They even do cleaning products which is great too!
Another to consider is Simplicite. Experienced Naturopath David Lyons has turned his 2o years of experience in naturopathy and herbal medicine toward a range of skin care which is made uses natures purest plant, flower, aromatherapy and Australian bush-flower extracts. It sounds delicious!
They both sound good enough to eat!

Mathildas Markets


Mathildas Markets has hit Brisbane and was held last Saturday on the 9th November over at Nudgee College in Boondall. The number of people through the door was a little disappointing but in all we had a fantastic day and we had some truly amazing feedback about the quality our tee shirts and our soon to be launched range of little girls dresses which I just can't wait to get loaded onto the site. Anyway I have attached some photos for you to have a look at and I must say a big thank you to my mum who helps me endlessly with all of my projects and also watched my little boy for the day. She is the perfect mother and without her I just don't know what I would do.

Back To Blogspot



It has been a long time since posts on Blogspot but we are back after a relatively long absence. In the meantime we have been blogging but using a different launchpad but we have decided to return to our blogspot cause it is just so easy.
So what's news?
Lots has happenend over the past 11 months as you can imagine but my biggest news is that I am nearly 17 weeks pregnant with my second child which just horrifies me. I think my face says it all in this photo.


How am I ever going to manage with two children and running a business from home? It is going to be crazy crazy! Mind you there are woman out there with lots more kids managing so I am hoping that it won't be that bad. Gosh - I pray for a good baby. Anyway enough about that. This post is just about getting back into it. We will have more to share in the coming weeks.
