It’s been a while between personal posts. And not for any reason- there’s been plenty of stuff happening (you know I love sharing over on my social media channels) that I could easily write about, but I just didn’t feel called to share it. On my snapchat (vegieheadadele) this morning I asked my wonderful community what they’d like me to blog about. And I had a great question from Melissa. She video snapped me (love it!) and asked to share my workouts and what I eat before and afterwards for energy. Working out on a vegan diet isn’t hard- and it can be done easily, simply and healthily! Now, as snapchat is very much a fast moving platform, I...
Over the many years that I’ve been in the Health and Beauty industry, and then moved on into owning my own businesses, this branch of my brand, Dusk by Adele was something that I’d always dreamt about the most. I’ve been trained with, and used over 100 different skincare ranges- everything from high-end cosmeceuticals, to French made botanicals, to locally produced, Bush Botanical infusions. And I loved them all, for their own reasons. As a consumer, and as someone with the beliefs and lifestyle that I lead however, not all of the brands that I’ve used in the past would make the cut with me NOW. So I decided to stop sitting on the idea of making my own...
Quick question. Did you know that Australians dump over 1 million tonnes of plastic waste in landfill each year? Scary, right? It is! And if you’re not concerned, you really should be. Even just enough to read the end of this blog, by which you’ll hopefully see the ramifications of our choices, and pledge to make better ones. Plastic surrounds us. It’s everywhere- in our fridge, in our pantry, our bathrooms, even our closets (plastic coat hangers I’m looking at YOU) and if you’ve ever bought anything, guaranteed there’s some form of plastic packaging on it. So we use it, but what happens then? Where does plastic go? Some of it gets recycled. Some of it is reused. Most...
Has the bitter cold hit where you are yet? It’s come at me like a thief in the night, stealing into the room, filling up the corners with cold, damp air, and has found us all, literally, hunkered down under a mountain of blankets. It’s also had me running for warm breakfasts. Smoothies, be gone! Bring on the porridge. And admittedly, I’ve never had a great interest in it. Memories of Oliver Twist’s gruel, the yukky skin that sometimes forms when it’s left for too long, and bland, boring nursing home food (which yes, I did feed to many a resident, every fibre of me screaming “I’m sorry, it’s so plain!”). And yet. There’s just something about it that’s...
