  • SHORT HAIR DON’T CARE // @livetinted asked us, what does it mean for you to #livetinted? 🤔 . #livetinted for me is a celebration of my roots which means embracing my culture, skin colour and being confident in my brown skin 💁🏽‍♀️ it’s no longer about blending in but it’s about standing out 🙌🏼 . From a young age, I’ve always heard people say that short hair and Indian outfits don’t go together 😩 as much as I love short hair, I feel super conscious when I wear traditional outfits 🤣 sometimes, I can’t help but wish my hair was longer while other times I tell myself- “I don’t care. I can totally pull this off because short hair is the new black” 😂 can anyone relate? 😳 .

  • HIBERNATION // have you said this to anyone lately? 😂 Sydney has been so cold lately 😝 . . Most of us prefer to stay indoors during winter ❄️ I do try my best to continue usual outdoor activities but I’m guilty of doing this as well 🤣 but have you thought about why we like to stay indoors? 🤔. . Is it because you don’t want to face the cold? Or is it because you’re worried if you’ll get sick if you’re out in the cold for too long? 👀 . . Contrary to popular belief, it’s not going outside in winter that makes you more likely to catch a cold or the flu 😷 . . Colds and flu are caused by viruses that are spread by sneezing, coughing and hand contact 🙅🏻‍♀️ . . But your chances of catching a cold or the flu increase as people tend to stay indoors in closer contact with each other 😝 . . Do you hibernate much in winter? 🤣 #WellThisWinter #winterwellness #winterproblems #hibernating #shenanigansofadietitian
  • REBOOT YOUR GUT // we all know just how much of a hot topic gut health is, right? 🤔 I did the 28 day hit reboot challenge back in April/ May. I’ve been meaning to do a review for sometime now but I had two conferences over the last two months so got kind of behind 🙈 . . 📌 What is @barleyplus ? 👉🏼 Barley+ is an innovative range of whole grain muesli, muesli bars and wraps. It was developed by Australia’s @csirogram 👉🏼 has a unique mix of prebiotic dietary fibres that include resistant starch and soluble fibre . 📌 What do you need to do? All you have to do is have a serve (1/2 cup) of barley cereals, 1 muesli bar or wrap once a day for 28 days 👉🏼 Barley cereals can be eaten with milk or yoghurt. Muesli bars can be eaten on their own, as a snack (pictured above) 👉🏼 The challenge also recommends light exercise + maintaining a healthy diet to achieve optimal results 👉🏼 To keep track of changes, you need to record your weight, waist measurement and fill out some questionnaires about your sense of wellbeing and your level of physical activity 🏃🏽‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️ . 📌 How did I go? I was going really well for the first week; but I found it difficult to keep track of my progress after this (had to attend an emergency). I was running around a lot during this time, so I found the muesli bars to be very convenient. These products require no refrigeration so I was able to eat them on the go, along with fresh fruits 🍌🍎🍊🍐 I did try my best to incorporate Barley on most days but still missed a few days 🙄 in terms of measurements, I did not notice any changes (perhaps because I was less active/ more stressed during this time compared to usual) 😩 . . My advice to anyone starting this challenge would be to introduce these foods slowly, if you are not used to having fibre in your diet. Simply eat a little less and allow your body to adjust slowly 🤨 Don’t forget to record your progress on the way + be honest with your responses because you’re not competing with anyone ☺️🙌🏼 PS- this post is #notsponsored // all opinions are my own // thank you to @barleyplus for sending their products 🙂 #guthealth #guthealing #guthealthmatters #freedomfoods #28daygutreboot #rebootyourgut

  • THANKFUL TUESDAY // I visited Namadgi National Park over the weekend and came across the Orroral Homestead which was built in 1860 and is one of the oldest relics of European settlement in the area 🌿 . This well-preserved historic house is one of the more well visited homesteads in the park, as it is easily accessible on the Orroral Heritage walk. It is thought that the homestead was built in the 1860's with construction possibly taking up to 10 years 🚧 Orroral Homestead is considered the oldest homestead in Namadgi National Park 🌿 . Visiting the homestead made me realise just how much things have changed over the last 100 years. Back then, there was no hot water and people had to do their house chores manually (i.e. laundry was done once a week and it took up the whole day) 😧 I can’t imagine how hard it must have been for them in winter because I was struggling in the cold in Canberra, even with proper heaters and hot water 😬 most of us take this stuff for granted but coming here made me realise just how grateful we should be for the life we all have now 😇🙏🏻 What are you grateful for today? 🙃👇🏻 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #gratitudedaily #gratitudeisthebestattitude #gratitudeattitude #gratitude🙏 #gratitudeeveryday #gratitudegeneration #bethankfuleveryday #bethankfulforwhatyouhave #bethankfulalways #bethankful #thankfultuesday #thankfulness #travellikeagirl #sheisnotlost #browngirlswhoblog #browngirlblogger #browngirlstravel #womenwhoexplore #livetinted #canberralife #explorecanberra #eatcanberra #canberralocals #thiscanberranlife #canberrastyle #canberrablogger #canberralocals #canberratothecoast #namadginationalpark #shenanigansofadietitian
