2 days in Cebu city with my mini 🇵🇭🏯🍧🥭🍚🦶🏼🫶🏼

Realised it’s been over 10 years that I’ve travelled with just one other person, and over 18 without Tony! Slowly finding my feet again as just a simple duo.

Do you always feel bloated and tired after a flight? Here are my tips to avoid that and come off feeling amazing!👇🏼

These are my meals from two consecutive flights from Auckland to Cebu Phillipines, the first flight was 11 hours, the second was 3 hours, with a layover in between.

☕️ Enjoy a coffee as I board, but only from the cafe on the way there. Never drink the coffee on board it’s way too strong and very dehydrating.

🫖 I’ll have one English Brekky tea, then after that it’s herbal tea and water.

💦 I add electrolytes to my water - both still and sparkling (tastes like fizzy drink!). You lose a lot of fluid on flights in your skin and cells, which makes you feel fatigued and your face feel like stretched sandpaper (you know what I mean 😬). Good quality electrolytes contain all the minerals you need in the right ratios, like magnesium, potassium, sodium & calcium + extra nutrients to enhance absorption.

💧Bring a water bottle with you and fill it regularly during the flight. They don’t offer you nearly as much water as you need to avoid dehydration, so always be asking for more.

🍛 I order a special meal - that way you get served first so you can let your digestion settle before having a rest (also means you avoid the queues to the loo). I recommend the low sugar/diabetic meal if you’re Omni as it contains much less sugars and oils and is more macro balanced. Or the vegetarian lacto ovo if you’re vego (the Asian vegetarian is normally a heavier curry or noodles).

🥗 Order the raw vege/fruit meal on one flight. There are not nearly enough low energy dense veges in flight meals, so order the raw vege and fruit plate on one flight. I did this for my breakfast here, then asked if they had a spare regular Brekky to flesh out the protein carbs & fats (they almost always have spare).

🍰 I always eat the sweet treats that come with because - 80:20 rules! And if you’re doing all the above then your calories and macros will be in check so you absolutely can.

Just a little glimpse into my life lately.
Kids. Family. Work. Fun. Rinse, repeat.

It’s a hectic season, but keeping things simple, staying in my own lane, and surrounding myself with a few good humans is doing wonders for keeping me sane.

Grateful for the lot I’ve been given – chaos and all 🤍

If you’re a woman like me in your 40s juggling work, kids, family, schedules, drop offs, picks ups, hormones and more - life is FULL THROTTLE 🏎️.

But if you’re feeling tired all the time, stressed, sore, sluggish, like don't sleep well, have a sluggish metabolism or brain fog… these are signs your body needs some root-cause support. Not just another quick fix, diet, pill, or plan.

That’s where natural medicine seriously shines 🙌🏼

And the strongest form of plant medicine? Essential oils 🌿. They're the immune system of the plant, so because of this, we can use them to help our own bodies rebalance - by addressing the root cause of health issues rather than masking symptoms.

For the last 8 years they've been my go-to for:
✔️ Immunity + gut health
✔️ Hormone balance + metabolism
✔️ Energy + mood
✔️ Sleep + stress
✔️ Pain, tension + inflammation
✔️ Detox + lymphatic support
✔️ Skin + wound healing
✔️ A clean, low-tox home

This week, my favourite brand of essential oils, doTERRA, is having their bi-annual BOGO (buy one, get one free) sale – your chance to stock up on these incredible potent plant medicines, at less than half price.

💧 Plus, get a free Copaiba 10ml oil worth $62, and a free MetaPWR oil worth $68 when you order through my special link!
