“Do not be afraid to shine your light. It is a beacon for those lost in the dark, a reminder of the way home”

This post is dedicated to all the beautiful souls out there who have journeyed to the light this past week, and to their loved ones who are grieving their loss. I’m sending a whole lot of loving vibrations out to all who need it right now. It’s been a pretty sad news week, both in our home and in our world. We all need so much love and light.

Warm hugs, kind words, peaceful vibes, offerings of love….first aid essentials to help heal the wounds of the heart.

I love you all so very much.

Deepest love and gratitude,

Helen xx

It’s probably obvious by now that jewellery really speaks to my heart….the gypsy in me is beyond excited by all the creative energy and love that goes into each piece. Matters Speaking have really captured my heart with their divine pieces of jewellery. Simple, elegant and powerful emotive messages that speak directly to my soul. I love that you can share these with family and loved ones as the perfect gifts. A beautiful reminder to those you care about most they are always in your heart.

With the holidays almost upon us, and our families across the country and seas, I am feeling rather nostalgic these past few days. If life has taught me anything, it’s to say all that you want to say right away. Never wait. There might not be another day. Act now, today, this very moment, and let those you love know how much, and all you are grateful for.

I love you all soooooo very much.

The Nest Hair Boutique

Where to start…there are just so many wonderful things to say about the The Nest Hair Boutique. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it. For all those woman who walk to the beat of their own drum, you will absolutely LOVE it! Based in Perth, this one of a kind boutique salon is run by owner and inspirational entrepreneur Charlie Crothers. It oozes style, character, charm and bohemian chic. It’s a hidden local gem, just like that amazing cafe down that little back alley that you don’t want to tell anyone about. What struck me most about this space was it’s relaxed feel and positive radiant energy. Decked out in white washed wood, handmade candles, unique giftware, and amazing products exclusive to their salon, The Nest is in a league of their own. This beautiful environment draws you into the moment and brings you an uplifting experience that is so far removed from your every day hair salon. From the moment I entered I melted into the chair and felt so calm and serene.  I had such a great time chatting, laughing and connecting with the inspirational stylists who work there. It was such an overall pampering experience and I left feeling happier than ever.

And I haven’t even got to telling you all about the hair yet! These stylists so know what they are doing! I was actually feeling a little down beforehand about the breakage I was experiencing from frequent colouring. Since having my hair done at the Nest boutique I haven’t had any new breakage and my hair is feeling thicker and healthier than ever. I feel so great now that I used the booking software to book an appointment with them and see them work wonders with my hair. They began using cutting edge products, like Olaplex, to prevent breakage and strengthen the hair shaft whilst lightening my hair. Coupled with some Davines shampoo and conditioner and Olaplex treatments, my hair has never felt better. Charlie also introduced me to this great technique called base breaking to lengthen the time in between colours, so as the roots grow out it looks far more natural. My mini depression over my hair has been lifted and I owe it all to The Nest Hair Boutique. Check them out, especially blondes as they specialise in blonde hair and will keep your colour vibrant and hair healthy at the same time.

The Nest Hair Boutique are also soon to be the only Australian stockists of amazing Barber and Fritz products. You can SHOP all their divine hair products HERE.

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,

if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,

if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand,

rejoice, for your soul is alive…”

Eleonora Duse

Feel the magic that surrounds you every minute of every day, wherever you are. Allow your mind to stretch to a state of reverence and awe as you take in the wonder of life.

Stay wild my lovely kindred souls, dream and imagine all day long, and weave your daily magic with love and passion.

With love and gratitude,

Helen xx

When everything around you encourages you to step up your pace, it’s more important than ever to remind yourself to move at your own pace. Stay grounded and focused on caring for yourself, by only doing what you can. And know that what you do…is always enough.  I feel so much peace wash over me simply when I say the words “I am enough”

I hope you all have a wonderful, peaceful ride as the holiday season inches closer. Be easy on yourself if you are already feeling burnt out. There is no need to be more than you are. Because you are already more than enough. You are everything!

With love and gratitude,

Helen xx
