As a big believer in the power of positivity I have been listening to some fantastic audio books by Esther, Jerry, and Abraham Hicks. Click HERE if you'd like to check them out (turns out their books are what The Secret was inspired by!). The downright basics of the idea is that, if you feel good and think good, life will be good. I realise that may seem horribly simple to many, but for me, I love it. So to remind myself to keep my head in the right "space" I created this lovely printable. If you can print it in colour then you'll see the Sacred Geometry design is actually overlaid with a … [Read more...]
Iced Lemon Tea – Singapore Style – FREE Printable!
After posting photos on Instagram of all the beautiful lemons I've picked from my nana's lemon tree (which she'd thought was on its last legs - it must have heard that 'cause it's gone NUTS this season!) I finally got around to recreating the delicious iced lemon tea we drank daily while on holiday in Singapore this year. It took a few attempts before I got the balance quite right. Just normal "gumboot" tea (as my Kassie refers to it as) is too strong, while I didn't want to use Earl Grey because I know too much of that can give you a tummy ache. (Earl Grey tea contains the essential oil … [Read more...]
Are you a crazy NaNoWriMo participant? Here’s a FREE Printable to keep your spirits up!
NaNoWriMo... For those not in the know, it stands for National November Writing Month. Really it is very much an international movement now, but the name is rather catchy just the way it is *grin*. The basic idea of this harebrained scheme is to knuckle down and write a novel in a month. Let's keep in mind that this is the first draft of a novel. Not a perfect, publishable novel. That's a pretty important detail! Can it be done? Well I've written three first drafts in a month (each in one month, not all three in one month - are you insane!?!): Awakening, AfterBurn, and Prometheus. So I do … [Read more...]
Prometheus, A New Dawn – Instagram serial begins today!
Some of you may remember when I shared the first draft of Prometheus here on my blog. Now, as I work on the first draft of the first book in the trilogy that follows Prometheus, I am going to do something similar. Just on Instagram. Piece by piece (Instagram only allows 2200 characters a post), week by week, I am going to share first the completed novel, Prometheus, A New Dawn, then the first draft of Pandora's Curse, Book One of the Bound by Blood Trilogy. It's all super exciting! It starts today at 9am NZ time, which is just under an hour from now. Make sure to follow my Instagram … [Read more...]
Life Updates
It feels like it's been forever since I had a chance to sit down and do this. In my defence, I've "written" lots of posts in my head *lol* I just forget them by the time I regain consciousness (hello grand plans at 2am - anyone else get those?). With a bunch of different projects on the go, I thought I should note them down in a blog post :) Three months back from Singapore (*sob* miss it SO much!) and the weather here is finally starting to get nice. We've switched to daylight saving hours which means it is now bizarrely light at 7.15pm as I type this. And yesterday, I actually had to turn … [Read more...]
IBS friendly Chicken and Leek Risotto
As I've mentioned before my other half has post infection IBS. What this means is he has some severe intolerances to foods that are high in fructose. This means he can experience some really nasty side effects such as, body cramps, migraines, poor sleep, weight gain, weight loss, brain fog, mood changes, and the list just goes on. Many people have IBS to a degree, and they might not even realise. If you personally have found yourself reacting after eating onions and garlic, then there's a good chance that you may have a level of IBS. Fructose can be very hard on the guts! This means I have … [Read more...]
