#PlasticFreeJuly

July 9, 2017July 9, 2017Leave a comment

Hello lovers! Apologies for being a bit MIA, I've had a few weeks. Last week I got married, ran a marathon, went interstate for work and had a birthday! But I have been continuing my little experiment which bloody Netflix keeps corrupting by adding more and more documentaries. Are you kidding me? How am I … Continue reading #PlasticFreeJuly

Got my keep cup!

June 18, 2017June 18, 2017Leave a comment

Hello enviro lovers! Well I'm feeling quite a little bit impressed with myself. Now when you open my over sized hand bag, not only to lip balm, credit cards and organizers fly out, but so do re-usable shopping bags, a re-usable coffee cup and a water bottle! Everything but the kitchen sink. It's been working … Continue reading Got my keep cup!

Tackling the War on Waste

June 13, 2017June 13, 2017Leave a comment

Don't worry I'm not being slack, I haven't disappeared or given up. In a minor deviation from the Netflix documentaries, I started watching The War on Waste which has become some what of a phenomenon here in Australia over the past couple of weeks. The first installment of the three part series, talked about food … Continue reading Tackling the War on Waste

Sustainable running gear review

June 1, 2017June 17, 20183 Comments

So I have been a little MIA lately, but my challenge is still going. The True Cost challenge was a great start for me. I'm sorry I was slack on the sharing end. After my initial running gear audit, I had a look at the rest of my wardrobe and made a substantial donation to … Continue reading Sustainable running gear review

The True Cost Challenge- Hurdle 1

May 9, 2017May 9, 2017Leave a comment

Bugger. My 'True Cost' challenge this month has really been about thinking more about where my clothes come from and the 'true cost' for humanity and for the environment of the choices that I was making. Honestly I'm being doing really well. I'm not going to lie and say that in the last 9 days … Continue reading The True Cost Challenge- Hurdle 1

The True Cost- Wardrobe Audit Part 1

May 3, 2017Leave a comment

Challenge: The True Cost I’ve seen it now. I can’t ignore it. So what can I do about it? I don’t subscribe to the theory that one person can’t make a difference. Commercial companies whether that be milk producers, juice bars or clothing brands are there to make money. So I vote with my dollar. … Continue reading The True Cost- Wardrobe Audit Part 1

May Challenge: ‘The True Cost’

May 1, 2017May 1, 2017Leave a comment

#1- ‘The True Cost’ Day 1, Month 1, Challenge 1 Documentary: The True Cost   Admittedly, when I declared I was going to do this challenge and try to find a take-away nugget to improve my life from the hours of mindlessly consumed Netflix content I was devouring, it seemed like a win win. My … Continue reading May Challenge: ‘The True Cost’

The “Vegan” progression, The RRP & Cowspiracy

April 18, 2017April 18, 2017Leave a comment

I’d love to be one of those people who say “I went fully vegan when I was 12 because I saw what they were doing to the animals…. I even threw out all my clothes and my couch and my car!”. But I’m not. It’s funny, when you tell someone you are vegan you immediately … Continue reading The “Vegan” progression, The RRP & Cowspiracy

The beginning… one doco at a time

April 17, 2017April 17, 2017Leave a comment

How often do you read that technology is ruining humanity? Seriously, from kids not being social to technology making us fat the list of ailments you can blame technology on if you want to is endless. Just type in “technology makes us… “ into Google and see what comes up. If you’d asked me yesterday … Continue reading The beginning… one doco at a time

Serious business this trail running! Macedon Ranges Walking track today, no clue where I was going! This shit is probably why I fall over so much. GPS was dodgy, snacks were on point. If we want to keep running mate, apparently we have to do the weights too! 😳😬😩 Weekend fun at warby! Add it to your bucket list for next year! Adding to the collection today with a solid 27k at Warby trail fest! Always a great event, probably the most running I’ve done in a while at a trail run, and super fun to run with Morgs and Megs, although they probably wished they had brought earplugs! 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, for 12 years! Because it didn’t happen if it’s not on Strava, instagram,  the go pro and all the things! Injury update: I have a lazy arse! Behind the scenes of a trail running trip to New Zealand! It’s all fun and games until you have to get your gear back through quarantine! Not gunna lie, looking forward to coming home at the end of the week, but it would be rude to not keep getting out when the trails look like this
