You may have noticed I tagged my last post with ‘postamonth2012′. Last year I tried to do postaday2011, however if you read my blog you’ll have noticed that fell in a big fat hole sometime around July.

I think I set goals for myself that seem realistic initially, but in the scheme of life are just overly ambitious. I’m just not the kind of person that can stick to doing something every day, but if I’ve said I’m going to I beat myself up for not doing it. This year I need to set more realistic goals for myself – much as I would love to blog every day, exercise every day, make lunch instead of buying it every day, make sure the dishes get done every day, sometimes I’m just to damn tired. Actually, quite a lot of the time I’m just too damn tired. So this year, I’d like to be nicer to myself. Set the bar a little lower, so that when I jump I can actually reach it.

Lofty goals are great, but sometimes it’s better to give yourself a chance to have a win.

If you know me, you’ll know that I’m addicted to beauty products – hair care, skincare, makeup – the whole lot. Sure, I tend to go for more ‘natural’ looks on a day to day basis but I’m on a never ending quest for the shiniest hair, clearest skin etc etc. AnywayI just found yet another product I’d like to try – this one’s recommended by Jesinta Campbell, former Miss Australia and one of my personal inspirations.

Beauty product of the week!

 

The EVOHE philosophy is to celebrate life and live in balance – abundantly, consciously and in relationship with the earth.

 

Evohe was first bought to my attention about 6 months ago and ever since I have started using it I have fallen in love with the products! EVOHE is an organic skincare range which is Australian made with certified organic ingredients and not only is this product beautiful to use, it is made with sustainable Fair Trade ingredients. In another post I will talk about the product a little more in depth but for now I want to focus on my #1 beauty product for summer!!

When the weather starts to warm up and we say goodbye to winter the first thing I do is start to get outdoors as often as I can. On my days off you’ll find me at the beach. But I find is that my skin tends to get rather dry especially after a day at the beach in the salt water, which is one of the reasons why I love the EVOHE Omega body oil. Every night after I shower I pump a few drops into my hands and apply it all over body…the trick is not to dry your skin completely, you still want a little bit of moisture so the oil goes further. Not only does it feel luxurious it gives your skin a beautiful glow! Because of the dewy glow it gives my skin, I’ll often apply some before an event for that extra touch or apply it before a swimwear shoot…it beats any moisturiser I’ve ever used.

My favourite thing about all EVOHE products, is that there are no nasty preservatives or ingredients so you know that your skin is soaking up natural goodness. This particular oil is rich in omegas and is made with an infusion of pure arctic cloudberry and brazil nut oils. Not only can you use this on your body but you can use it on your face, I apply it once a week as a moisture mask just before bed, my skin loves it!!

Yes. So I’m certainly not going to tell the Internet am I? ;)

It’s my last night in Vienna, and I could post about a million things, but all I really want to share is this:

For a National Geographic documentary they photographed animals in the womb, and I think this one is amazing.

Awesome short film by Rick Mereki.

Another sparkle belt…

I so wanted to get this headband to wear to my brother’s wedding…but I couldn’t find any other accessories in a similar colour so it’s a no go.

Another Alex Perry worn by my favourite Australian model, Miranda Kerr. It’s certainly not a wedding dress, but it is pretty and fun.
