I had the most incredible human design reading with the lovely @keribainborough

So much information on my type + strategy + authority.. this couldn’t have come at a better time with moving to a new country and making sure I am in alignment with what makes me happy 💛

Here’s to being more patient, creating a healthier relationship with food and allowing myself to tell my story ✨

It’s been a HOT MINUTE since we got to Ireland.. wow to be honest between work and settling in there’s been very little time for anything else 😶‍🌫️

But, I’m alive and we are here LOL
Usual programming will resume once we move to house 3/4 with a bigger kitchen ~ eeek I can’t wait to start sharing recipes + some plant based Irish specialities with you all soon 👩🏼‍🍳

Thanks for sticking around and hello to all the new lovely faces 💛

And one last thing, these are the ONLY presets you will ever need in your life — @candibodpresets #linkinbio thank me later 🙃

Hello August 🌸☕️✨

I actually can’t believe it’s the 8th month of the year and that we have been in Ireland for 5 weeks already!

We are getting more comfortable each day + finally sorting out admin / bank accounts / ID cards etc which has honestly been quite a challenge to setup to say the least lol 📬

QUOTE FOR THE MONTH ~
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations ~ Charles Swindoll

Also, home 2/4 coming soon 🏠

— 😷🏢☀️ What #hotelquarantine has taug

— 😷🏢☀️

What #hotelquarantine has taught me ~

1. How to be completely present
2. It’s ok to slow down and sleep late
3. It’s also ok not to make the bed or brush your hair
4. Exercise can be done almost anywhere with very little space
5. Time with loved ones is the most important thing in the world
6. Overthinking helps with nothing
7. Patience is everything
8. #loveisland will suck you in ~ if you know you know
9. Freedom is taken for granted
10. I appreciate fresh air more than ever
11. Nature makes me truly happy
12. Some things really are out of our control
13. It’s ok to do nothing
14. How much I miss and love flowers, plants and greenery
15. To let go and #gowiththeflow

One more sleep and we can go and explore the outside world 🗺🚙☕️

Traveling during COVID ☁️ Here are some tips

Traveling during COVID ☁️

Here are some tips for anyone planning on traveling internationally #saveforlater

1. Make sure you have all your documents printed out (PCR test, passanger locator form, quarantine hotel confirmation) + allow extra time for airport arrivals for bag wrapping / checking in etc.

2. Pack extra face masks and wet wipes for the flight ~ @quatar_airways_ supplied a little sanitizer and spare face mask as well.

3. If you are claustrophobic like me, wearing a mask for 24 hours or more can be really challenging so bathroom visits during the flight and airport transit will help, sit down and do some breath work ~ deep breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.

4. Pack snacks like nuts / granola bars and bring an empty water bottle to fill up. #stayhydrated

5. When you arrive at your destination be prepared for long queues at passport control and as well as waiting to be escorted to your hotel via a bus 🚌
When you arrive at your QH there is more paper work to complete before checking in ~ this added 3 extra hours on top of all our travel time #32hourslater

6. Pack healthy snacks / superfoods to use during your quarantine stay ~ so far the food and service has been amazing.

8. If you can, pack a yoga mat and some resistant bands in your bag for hotel room workouts.

7. We booked our covid test through our GP and requested a jet fuel drip to help support the immune system ~ it’s a concentrated cocktail of vitamins and gives the body a good boost for around 2 weeks.
