Grant and I recently snuck away for a wonderfully romantic lunch, at Harvest at Laborie Wines! He had been before, but it was my first time visiting the estate – what a fantastic treat! The weather was rather cold and wet, but we refused to let that spoil our day! [Read more…]
My 100 Healthy Days with Well I Am – Time to Detox
I cannot believe the first month of My 100 Healthy Days with Well I Am is done and dusted! So here begins a new month, which brings with it a new set of challenges!
As I mentioned before starting this challenge in winter has not be great but I am feeling strong and not allowing excuses to stand in my way. The biggest challenge I have faced thus far, in my Well I Am journey is eating out because lets face it, it is one of my favourite things to do! For me the easiest way for this not to become an issue is to allow myself at least one “cheat” day a week! As I mentioned before when eating out, you can substitute your carbs with veg or salad but there is nothing better than a yummy pud every now and then 🙂
With just over a month to go until we leave for Italy, we have decided to do a bit of a detox this week, with a juice cleanse for a few days. I have been scouting Pinterest for a few recipes and am going to be putting my new Bosch juicer to the test. So lets see how it goes! I will let you know next week if it has been successful and share any tips and recipes I have enjoyed with you.
I am not sure if you are following Inspired Living SA on Instagram? If not follow me to keep up to date with my wellness journey and my “photo-a-day” posts, for the 100 Healthy Days Challenge.
If you are doing or have done a juice cleanse I would love to hear from you – please share any advice or recipes in the comment section below.

Getting Organised with 27Pinkx
As you know I love interior decor and finding creative ways to give a space a new lease on life, whether it is by changing wall colour or introducing interesting decor items.
The thing is decor and interiors are not only the pretty, aesthetic aspects but also involve organisation and practical storage solutions, to help a space function better.
My eldest daughter turned 13 this year which has prompted making a few decor changes in her bedroom. In essence removing all the very girlie items to make way for a more mature, trendy look. We created an accent wall by painting one wall a vibrant jewel green shade and introduced visual interest by adding Black and White prints.
We also need to find a home for her ever expanding makeup collection – she is my daughter after all! There are so many different types of storage solutions to choose from but my favourite for makeup are perspex draw organisers, like the one above from 27Pinkx. I love the fact that they are clear and you can actually see all your makeup but at the same time it is not cluttering up your dressing table or desk!
For my daughters room we used the 3 draw perspex mini organiser from 27Pinkx. They have a variety of sizes but this one was perfect for the amount of makeup she needed to store.
You can very neatly arrange all your different makeup and beauty items into categories, in the various draws, as we have done above.
We also styled the unit with a few of her favourite personal items, including a cute owl as a makeup brush holder. Adding these personal touches, makes it become part of the room decor, rather than just a storage unit!
For more information on the 3 Draw Mini Organiser and other products on offer please check out the 27Pinkx Website.
What’s Hot Outdoor Tech Wireless Headphones
I recently received the Outdoor Tech In-Ear Bluetooth Wireless Headphones to try out. The timing was really good because my old ear-buds had just given up the ghost and I love working out to music! In fact I definitely find I am more motivated and workout harder if I am listening to music. [Read more…]
