Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
This almond slice is ssoo yummy. I may or may not have made double the recipe twice in one fortnight recently and devoured it all….but it was shared between three family and friends!!! If you can resist from eating it all in one sitting, it does save really well in the fridge. I’m sure you […] Read more…
The second semester of the year has begun here in Australia (somehow I am already in week 4 at uni- how did that happen?!), and I know in other countries the new study year is fast approaching. So I thought I would a put a few ideas down about how to deal with studying. These […] Read more…
It may have made sense to look at how I am going with my reading goals for 2017 in June, don’t you think?!! I am a tad late! But I think that’s ok; doing it now will still help to give me a push in the areas I need one :-). My goal for the […] Read more…

I have never been a breakfast person, but I am coming around! I definitely didn’t like cereal, mainly because of the milk…but now I have discovered that almond milk on toasted granola is delicious, especially when covered in fresh fruit! I have created my own take on granola, and I thought I’d share. This is […] Read more…
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, written by Claire North, is one of those books that I was totally intrigued by and excited to read because it seemed right up my alley. But it was also one of those books that didn’t quite meet my expectations. A friend kindly gifted the audiobook to me […] Read more…
Turia Pitt is an extraordinary woman. I was able to listen to her talk last night as part of her new book tour. She has just released her second book, ‘Unmasked’, which I have started reading, and I read her first book, ‘Everything to Live For: The Inspirational Story of Turia Pitt’, a few years […] Read more…
