Daughter and I both fell in love with our Bamboo Body pants as soon as we put them on!
We both have the Softline Essential pants – or our yoga pants as we call them. They’re super comfortable and can be worn dressed-up or dressed-down. With a mix of 93% bamboo viscose and 7% spandex they drape oh-so beautifully – and did I mention that they’re super comfortable!!
Daughter also has a pair of the grey leggings that she wears under her long school pants in winter. She says that they are warmer than any other pair of tights she has ever owned, and she’s put in an order for some more this year.
Keeping in line with our 3 things pledge this year, we’re keen to add some more Bamboo Body pieces to our wardrobes. Knowing that the fabric is natural and made from a sustainable resource; has anti-bacterial and anti-odour properties and is 100% compostable is all adding to the appeal.
You can shop online or look for the Bamboo Body range at your nearest eco-friendly store.
(The series {products we love} is quite simply that – products we love. As an eco-friendly family who are trying to do our small bit for this wonderful planet we call home, I’m always keen to share great products when I come across them.)

the pursuit of beauty - of youth - is a distraction from what is important
“Never worry about wrinkles or getting old. At least you’ll be alive – that’s what’s important.”
Susan
You all know my views on the subject of age.
The equation (as I see it) goes something like this:
age = wrinkles
wrinkles = experience
experience = a life lived
A life lived will mean that you’ve touched other peoples lives and hearts. It means you’ll be remembered after you’re gone.
Those who loved you won’t remember your wrinkles or your grey hair.
They’ll remember your sense of humour.
And the way you danced madly round the kitchen with them.
*
They’ll remember how you saw the world a little differently.
And that you hugged them everytime you said “See you later”.
*
They’ll remember your spirit.
And the way you loved them.
Because you lived. Because that is what is important.
What do you want to be remembered for?

After our trip to Tasmania this Summer I was delighted to come across Stalley- a handmade designer from Launceston (which is my Sis’ current hometown and the one place in Tassie where we spent the most time!)
Up-cycled, original and earth-friendly, their Made It studio houses the cutest little coin purses and some delightfully Aussie-themed linen.
Quite partial to the Tasmanian Tiger tea-towel myself…

The weather is still ordinary, which means the weather is perfect for a game of Fish with the Little Man.
Current score: 1 to me, 1 tie.
Next round coming up shortly.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oi, oi, oi.
Can’t get more Australian than oi, oi, oi. Or more Australian than a backyard barbie on a public holiday.
What I’m wondering is what your signature barbeque dish is?
You know, the one that everyone holds their breath for, hoping that you’ve brought it with you…?!
I don’t have one. I personally have a weakness for cheese, so I always bring along the yummiest cheeses I can get my hands on. Not even remotely exotic, but that’s me – Cheese Woman.
Feel free to share a recipe, or just tell us how much everyone loves what you bring.
And have a fantastic Australia Day!
