About Tasha

Hi, I’m Tasha – the conservative hippy.

I’m also…

…a Mum

To 2 wonderful kids – my Beautiful Girl and the Little Man.
Not bad, considering that once upon a life time I never wanted to have children, and now I couldn’t imagine my life without them.

…a wife

Husband of 20 years. There’s days I love him, there’s day I loathe him, but he’s another person I couldn’t imagine living without.

…a Learning Support Officer

I help the kids who need that extra bit of assistance in class. When I trained as a high-school teacher, I never thought that this is where teaching would lead me, but it is one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever worked at.

…a designer

I began creating jewellery in the summer of 2003.  My style has changed from stringing to metal work – with a penchant for copper.  Being able to adorn others with pretty things makes me smile.

…a photographer

I have distinct memories of taking photos throughout my teenage years, and when Husband bought me a camera in 2008, to distract me from my chronic back pain, the joy of making photos came flooding back.

…a conservative hippy

WTF? I can hear you saying!

For me, conservative hippy-dom means: I’m trying my damnedest to do the best I can for our planet.  I use alternative health practitioners and buy organic foods.  I eat raw when possible and don’t do numbers.  My wardrobe consists of a lot of sustainable fabrics.  I have a thing for crystals, but don’t place much faith in the zodiac.  And I don’t wear tie-dye (hence the conservative!)  
Conservative hippy-dom stands for a lot of other things too, which you can read more about here.
