Shop Lunar Love HERE….the first 250 packs will come with a very special gift inside of genuine stick on Swarovski® crystals to add even more sparkle to your look. They are so much fun to wear on your face, around your eyes, fingers, hands, or anywhere you like!

I’m so very excited to announce my Flash Tattoos collaboration today!!! Together we have created this lunar inspired pack of fun and festive flash tats for all you boho babes out there! What a joy it has been to bring my vision and hand drawn designs to life with the help of the original, one and only, awesome metallic tattoo creators – Flash Tattoos.

In this pack you’ll see my love of the moon etched through all these lunar loving designs. I hope they will inspire you guys to get super creative with the possibilities these designs offer…create body chains, leg chains, neckpieces, back pieces, line your feet, ankles, and don’t forget your hands and fingers. Let your imagination soar free as you adorn your entire body! Wear these moon inspired designs to remind you of your divine feminine nature and connection to the lunar phases. Go simple with a little crescent moon popping out from your low armhole tee, or bold with the entire moon phase lining your spine! There is a little something for everyone!

Make sure you tag @flashtattoos #flashtat + @helen_jannesonbense in all your festival pics on social media. We will be sharing our favourites over the upcoming festive season :)

With love and gratitude,

I’m forever inspired by the ocean…she is my medicine and nourishes me on every level of my being. I simply have to step barefoot on her shores and I instantly feel better. She provides my balance in life as a busy mum, business owner and creative director.

My outfits are definitely heavily influenced by my beach lifestyle and love of the ocean – white sands, white wash and every shade of blue you could imagine. I’m so obsessed with this Spell romper, the perfect canvas for layering up and heading out on long beach walks, boat adventures, and pretty much mermaid living. Some healing turquoise is always my favourite accessory to replenish and balance my energy.

I feel so blessed every day I get to create my dreams with my precious husband/photographer and our children, in a space that I love, that continues to inspire me so much.

With love and gratitude,

Helen xx

“Dream big with all the love and joy in your heart and pave the way for all the wondrous magic and miracles of life”

I’m so excited to share this photo shoot Bobby and I created in Hawaii for Billabong Australia for their January Fade to White collection. We had a whole day to play in the sunshine and salt water, soak up all the Aloha, as we explored the incredible northshore coastline. We felt so far removed from the world, in our own creative bubble. It was all so dreamy.

I’ve been floating in that bubble ever since and rather than looking to the next holiday, next break, next satisfying fulfilling distraction, my every day has become an ongoing stream of all that I love. It’s work and play all rolled into one. I don’t feel the need to escape my life, my work, my heartaches or my reality. I’m learning to simply be, accept all that comes, all that I create, love what is, and ride the wave. I’m thankful for each miraculous experience, even if it’s painful at times.

Hawaii definitely stole my heart and amplified my dreams to new heights. The energy of this land is just so magnetic and healing and brought so many insights to me simply be being there. I’m so grateful for my opportunities to travel and experience so much in this beautiful world.

With love and gratitude,

Helen xx
