We’re all still going strong with the indoor plant trend – well I am anyway! I have a jungle at home…ha! I am addicted that’s for sure. In 2019, the theme for indoor plants is ‘bigger the better’. If you can choose mature plants that already stand a metre or more tall for maximum impact […]
Mirrors move energy around your home in lots of different ways. And if you’re a fan of Feng Shui (or even just energy!), then you’ll want to know where you shouldn’t be placing a mirror. 1. In the bedroom A mirror across from the bed can bring a third party into the relationship. Hmmmm we […]
It’s not just me, I know it! Lots of you are decluttering like crazy too. It’s January so I usually have this mad cleaning frenzy, BUT the new ‘Tidying up with Marie Kondo‘ on Netflix really set me off. Have you watched it yet? I blame her! 😉 She is the ‘tidying’ guru. I actually […]
Last week I was a bit lucky and my husband brought home this huge elkhorn. It was his Grandmother’s and it had fallen down (his Father had it) and it was getting a bit burnt in the sun. We think it’s at least 60 years old. You can be excused for calling it a staghorn, […]
Today I’ve got 5 indoor plants which can survive almost in the dark with little fuss. I wrote a post a few months ago on the best Indoor Plants, but I’ve narrowed it down to just a few that are hard to kill! Last week I needed a bit of retail therapy and I text my girlfriend […]
Have you got a bit of time up your sleeve over the Christmas break and would like to make a few changes around your house to add value? Today I have 4 things you could look at doing… Fresh paint A new coat of paint is probably the easiest task you can complete around your […]
The word “eZone” has been popping up in new floor plans I’ve been looking at. If you don’t need a full home office or study, but still want somewhere to sit and pay the bills, scroll Facebook or write an email, then an eZone might be the solution! Basically it’s a nook with a small bench, […]
I have some minor scratches on my floorboards from a kitchen stool (I have since tossed it!). It’s very hard to get photos of a floorboard close up! But you can see below some little scratches. I wanted to buff this area up. Now, let’s be realistic, you can’t actually completely fix these scratches, unless […]

My friend (who is much more knowledgeable about oils) told me to use CLOVE essential oil as a mould cleaner. She said it was a powerhouse and there was a science behind it. We all need a bit of proof and science hey?? There’s this measuring thingy called the ORAC scale. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is […]
I had a pretty epic 2018. I won’t forget it in a hurry (it’s not done yet though!). I am truly grateful for this year. A lot happened and I discovered a lot about myself. If you visit here often you will know that I had permanent colostomy surgery in February this year. BIG for […]
You might like this floor plan today! It’s considered a farmhouse design because of the verandah and overall width. I like this layout. It seems to have everything in the right places. The laundry/mudroom/kitchen is great. I like the bench with windows to outside in the kitchen with the BBQ area close by. It would […]

The reality is, I don’t clean my oven. Like hardly ever. I hate it! I just wipe the outside and close the door. But you know how you get the urge and suddenly you can’t look at such a disgrace any longer, so it’s time to get that crap cleaned up?? Yep, this was me […]

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. Well, here we are… almost in 2019! I do love a notepad, or calendar or goals book to start of the new year. Today I grabbed a few good 2019 calendars I saw floating around on Pinterest to share with you. These are calendars you can print off […]
You know that recently I have been using essential oils. For me, it was just a given after years and years of being unwell. I really needed something else in my life . I needed to make some changes. Mostly, I am interested in the low-tox living side of things. That meant, using natural smells […]
