September Bliss Tip

It’s SPRING and time to shape up, get fit and clear out the winter cob webs just in time for summer. We’ve had a wonderful winter, snuggled up, warm and toasty, comfort food and red wine…. Now it’s warming up and time to get your clothes off and get fit! I’m taking on a ten week challenge, and I am inviting you to do the same. Ten weeks to trim down, tone up and reduce cm’s… Are you up for it???

August Bliss Tip

Flexibility is KING! Flexibility in all areas of your life is essential… Flexible behaviour allows you to discover more about yourself and others and a flexible body destresses your mind, body and soul… Here’s a few more benefits of being flexible;

• Increased blood flow and nutrients to all of your tissues which allows a greater range of motion
• More synergistic muscle coordination
• Better sexual mobility and a greater variety of positions, better sex is the best reason to be more flexible!
• Stretching causes muscular relaxation, which results in reduction of accumulated toxins, less muscle shortening or tightening, and less fatigue
• Improved posture

Stretching to increase flexibility can be as easy as joining a yoga class or sitting on the floor each night when you watch tv and doing some light stretching.  Each time you do it, it gets easier and the easier it gets, the better you are going to feel each time too. Not sure what to do? Rent a few DVD’s on yoga and learn a few basic poses and off you go.

Now flexibility of the mind is not so easy… Perhaps we should chat about that one in person. Please feel free to call or email me/

July Bliss Tip

July is the month to wear a dress and be as feminine as you can.  The key to being a woman is being strong in your softness, aloof with your sense of knowing, direct with your communication, powerful in the way you move, speak and decide yet understanding and open minded… This month as yourself as many times as you can each day…”What polarity am I in right now?” By that I mean which energy source are you using, Masculine or Feminine?

Masculine energy is still, goal oriented, directed, competitive, focused on achievement… Feminine energy is soft, flowing, creative, full of ideas, it needs movement and variety and is very intuitive and nurturing.  If you are at work you are most likely using masculine energy and so it’s important to remember you can get the job done like a woman and probably be more powerful and energetic for doing so.  Remember, be a woman first and foremost and if it helps you to remember, wear a dress!

June Bliss Tip

The winter months seem to rob our skin of all that dewy softness, our legs get dry, facial skin a little parched or dehydrated and tight due to heating and cold winds… So this months Bliss Tip is about skin care, caring for your skin and luxuriating in some gorgeous and delicious skin treatments that are above and beyone your usual regime… I’m assuming you lovely ladies have a regime?

Let’s start by defining a healthy skincare regime: Morning cleanse and tone, eye cream and protective moisturiser. Evening, a cleanser to remove your makeup, including eye makeup remover, toner, eye cream, an anti ageing serum and a night cream… Night creams are important as they regenerate your skin while you are sleeping - while the rest of your body is regenerating… Additional items you can include is an exfoliating product 2-3 times per week and a mask to either nourish, moisturise, cleanse or boost your skin in some way…

My preference is for organic, chemical free products and a great shop I go to on line is Vitale Natural Skincare - they host a very large assortment of all beauty products and have free shipping in Australia (over $150) Check out their brand list;   http://www.vitalenatural.com.au/brands.asp

My favorite product this winter is:

Description:
This delicious gel masque smells like honey without the stickiness! Designed to rejuvenate, hydrate and balance the skin, it helps to calm irritation due to dehydration and soothes the skin after sun and wind damage - it’s so delicious.

Well that is all from me this June gorgeous one, remember to treat yourself to some yummy skin care, no matter where in the world you are, because YOU DESERVE IT…. x

April Bliss Tip

Are there times in your life when you feel you are just floating through your days, disconnected, too much ’stuff’ going on - it all seems almost surreal? You feel overwhelmed and almost immobilised by the tasks ahead. You might even feel like giving it all up for what seems like the ‘easy’ path (whatever that is for you)…  There is one thing you can do that will all the difference… Let’s explore how you can reconnect, gain clarity and get back on track and most importantly, get on with it!

The secret is to get ‘grounded’, ground your energy and reconnect with source…. Quite often when you feel flighty, immobilised  and disconnected with the world its because you are not grounded.  Think of mother earth as your energy centre and when you connect to that source, you ground your energy. So, getting grounded is as simple as mindset imagery - connecting to the earths core and recalibrating your energy, giving yourself a recharge by drawing on earth’s energy. Here’s how…

Whilst standing tall, feet shoulder length apart, knees soft and unlocked, arms straight down your sides, take a deep breath - a belly breath (when your belly rises because you are bringing the breath deep down into your lungs), repeat 3-4 times.  Then, with closed eyes, imagine the red hot core of the earth way down deep below you, imagine the fiery centre and the energy that resides there, next imagine drawing up that raw, blissful energy upward toward you, through your feet and up your body, filling  you and then settling in your base chakra (at the base of your pelvis) - take in 3 deep, meaningful breaths, bringing life to your source energy in your body… Imagine the red raw energy filling you, connecting with all there is, holding you firm to the ground - and breath….

Only open your eyes only when you feel the groundedness, your reconnection and clarity fill you.  Once your eyes are open, using your intution, write a list of the top three most important things you need to get done that daya nd go about doing them immediately… Go to it girlfriend and have a great day! xx

March Bliss Tip

It comes just in the nick of time for the month is nearly over… But all things in life are timely, even if we dont see it that way at the time. And that is what this months Bliss Tip  is all about.  Diving Timing, Faith and Acceptance.  Allowing Divinity into your life is one major step toward enlightenment… But how do I do that you ask?

By practising having FAITH, letting go and simply trusting that the universe (or God, what ever you choose that to be), has everything in order.  when you trust that all is right as it is and have Faith that your world is perfect, even with it’s ‘apparent’ imperfections, nothing can truly harm you and all is understood. 

When under duress or in times of adversity, take a deep breath, ground your energy, and repeat:

 ”I trust in Divine Order, everything is as it is meant to be, this too will pass”.

Be then open to discovering the lessons in the experience life has delivered to you…

February Bliss Tip

Music, Music Music… Makes the people come together! Music is my life, my life is music…

This month, take time out to lose yourself in music, recharge your batteries, revisit passion, gain enthusiasm, relieve stress and find peace in your favorite music.  Music can take you mind on a journey to another time and place, how long has it been since you gave yourself that time?  When was the last time you listened to music that envoloped your spirit and fed your deepest yearnings? When was the last time you allowed music to evoke such passion and emotions you cried for the shear joy of it?  My dear Goddess friends, BLISS out to some music this month and revitalise the very heart of who you are.

And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Day Is Done

January Bliss Tip

It’s the first week of another year, a great time to indulge in some loving connection and fun while we’re all kicking back and relaxing with loved ones. Whether you are in a cold climate or warm climate right now, it is time to enjoy the loving touch of a warm set of hands caressing your body, soft lips nibbling you, hard body enjoying you….  Connection with a lover is not only good for your body (losing calories, releasing tension and stress) but your mind also gets a fresh rush of feel good endorphins. I urge you to open your mind to your ‘Adventurous’ side and try something new and exciting in loveland….

How awesome will this year be if, on top of your career and success goals, you added some sexy loving goals too?  A healthy dose of sensuality and sexuality can have a direct benefit on your self esteem and confidence, how much more could you use right now?   With a partner or alone, everybody deserves sexy loving fun, so if you are single, this months Bliss Tip is for you too… Get the picture?

Bliss Tip - December

This months Bliss Tip is all about glamour, fashioning it up and strutting your best assests this Christmas. It doesn’t really take a lot to feel good about yourself. We all know the best way to feel great is to start from the inside out - clear your mind of clutter, set goals and daily intentions and let go of the past… But that kind of clean up and action can take some time, time of which is in short supply over the Christmas break.

So this month is a quick fix kind of Bliss Tip… Dress up, do your hair differently, wear heels, experiement with your makeup, do a weekly mask on your face, drag out your frocks and fashion up when ever you get the chance to… When you look good you feel good and feeling good is what it’s all about right? Let go of the small stuff, choose your arguments wisely and have fun feeling glamorous - you never know who is watching!  Most importantly, spend quality time with family, smile and have fun… It’s been a great year - thank you gorgeous for reading… xxx
