Exploring what I've discovered across the web this week...

HABITS. I keep learning about the toxicity of plastics in the home and I am moving towards slowly replacing my black plastic utensils that I bought when Fras and I moved in together. I grabbed this cult favourite this week (US Link) and am waiting for my new meal prep canisters to arrive. (US LINK). I’ve been loving meal prepping high protein, nourishing breakfasts lately and these are much better for grab and go.

I’ve been trying to get into the habit of sending voice notes. They are like a hybrid of the text and a phone call. I think they are more personal than a text, but not the same commitment as a phone conversation. I know when I get them, I’m thrilled to hear my friends voices.

SCROLLING. I’ve been feeling a great desire to travel, but this time of year is crazy with the kids and getting away doesn’t seem feasible. This list of the greatest places to travel to solo might just be my nudge to book a ticket and go! I think traveling alone would be heavenly. What about you? Does the idea of travelling alone, with your own company terrify you or thrill you?

WEARING. Je t’aime. I got this for a super fun Valentine’s Date night that Fras organized with 15 of our friends at Justin’s Oven in Kimberley. Dinner was amazing, the venue was adorable and I can’t wait to go back!

HOME. Do you use the Yuka App? I only heard about it recently and it has become my new obsession. In general, I try to buy organic meat and dairy products. I am a big believer that whole ingredients or minimally processed food is medicine. The Yuka App lets me scan food (and cosmetic!) products to see their health and environmental-impact scores. I also keep in mind the EWG’s Dirty Dozen list — which highlights the conventional produce items that have the highest rates of pesticide exposure. If I can afford to buy them organic, I do! My kids moan and complain that our house is an ‘ingredient’ house but it makes me feel better knowing that we are doing our best to eat clean.

LISTENING. Well, I haven’t got listened much to my favourite podcasts lately because I’ve blown through all 3 audio books in the Fourth Wing series in a matter of days. I was expecting it to be like indulgent, YA, fantasy, similar to Twilight, but let me tell you….do NOT listen to this in the car with your kids! It’s definitely not YA. It’s rated 18R. In the best way! Also, you might want to add this to cart if you’re going to also grab the book! (US Link)

PS: If perimenopause has stolen your spark down there, this vibrator has truly helped rediscover the joy of sex. Just because we may no longer be young, doesn’t mean we’re dead!!

This podcast however, did change my perspective a lot this week.

WATCHING. Sadie and I watched Kinda Pregnant during the crazy snow storm this week and we both loved it! Amy is so universally lovely, funny and relatable.

This Nike Ad. #YouWin.

Excited to watch Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix. An account of Belle Gibson, the Australian influencer who lied about having cancer and claimed she cured herself with wellness practices.
