Favourites

I wanted to link all of my favourite products/tools and companies that I love all in one place. I find all of these either incredibly valuable, beautiful or enjoyable, I hope you do too! I have chosen to only add things that I *genuinely* love or would highly recommend.

I will continue to update this page occassionally so pop by every now and then! 🙂

PERSONAL


My Favourite fiction Novel

An all-age novel that is exciting and intriguing, exotic and romantic. I couldn’t put it down. It’s my all time favourite!

This Jacket!

I love this jacket, it is unique and designed to perfection. Oversized look, to wear over anything! So comfy and cosy – my favourite combo!

Fellow Coffee Products

I am obsessed with this brand. The quality, aesthetics, everything! A little on the pricier side but totally worth it because the quality is just insane and they are beautiful!

Ashlyn Newton Book Series

Ashtyn Newbold Series

One of my favourite authors brought out a new book and I would recommend any of her books! Literally any!

These Shoes!

Birkenstocks are a staple in our wardrobe. They are so comfortable and the best quality! They last so long and stay looking brand new for literally years after you buy them!

Silhouette Sunglasses

There are 3 other colours, but these are my fave!


NATURAL LIVING


Glow Collagen

Glow uses type 1 collagen to support healthy bones, muscles, organs, skin, and more. As we age, our ability to produce collagen begins to wane. Glow helps your body maintain its collagen levels and enjoy all the benefits that come with it.

Replenish

A powerful brew consisting of seven mushrooms, ashwagandha, and fulvic acid, helping support body function, promote restful sleep & stress management, and improve skin health.

LMNT Electrolyte Packets

LMNT was born from a need. The hard truth is that available electrolyte products are high in sugar and woefully lacking in actual electrolytes. LMNT is formulated with everything you need and nothing you don’t.

All Purpose Cleaner

It contains plant derived and other thoughtfully chosen ingredients. Made without parabens, phthalates, animal derived ingredients and always a cruelty-free formula.

Essential Oils

Non-GMO Certified, Vegan & Cruelty-Free – Free from additives, Cliganic aromatherapy oils are proudly non-gmo project verified, certified vegan and cruelty-free.

Vitruvi Diffuser

The heavy weighted ceramic cover is made from the highest quality materials and has superior durability and craftsmanship over other knock-off stone diffusers. 


SELF-CARE + HABITS


Nail Polish (Zara)

This nail polish comes in so many colours and affordable! I often buy a new one every now and then and have a very colourful collection!

Dry Brush

Dry Brushing has so many benefits and this brush is beautiful and very comfortable to hold and use.

Journal

Any Journal works, as long as you can write in it! But I have loved how big this one is and the spiral binder makes it so easy to write in.

Tea Pot

To me a cute teapot is a must-have. I have one that is so similar to this one and I just love it! It’s simple, yet stylish and I love how you can see the tea leaves.

Kindle/ Kindle Subscription

This is one of my most favourite gifts I have ever received. This kindle battery life lasts for days so it’s perfect for camping and travelling. Kindle subscription for just $10 a month is also an absolute must-have. I’m obsessed.

Candle Holder

How beautiful are these? A simple candle holder with a tall white candle is such a simple, yet elegant way to spruce up any area.


BUSINESS TOOLS


Convertkit

I use and love Convertkit. Such an easy to use Email platform. I have loved it and recommend it.


Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing Course

I wanted to learn more about Affiliate Marketing and I did a lot of research to find the best course. This was highly recommended by most people and after completing it I agree it is the best! i learnt so much and would highly recommend this course.


Pinteresting Strategies 2.0

Carly Campbell feels like my blogging bestie. Her course is the most up to date at all times. She is so good at keeping on top of all the changes and helping people understand why she encourages us to do things in certain ways on Pinterest. She’s amazing and I highly recommend this course, it’s the only one you will need for Pinterest!


Bluehost

Bluehost is what I use to host my website and I have loved the ease of use and support. I wouldn’t choose anything else, Bluehost is fantastic and very affordable.


Genesis Pro

Genesis Pro is what I use to make it way easier to build an engaging and attractive site on wordpress. Highly recommend!


WordPress

WordPress is the only website builder I would use. I love it because its so simple to use, and yet so customizable! WordPress is the easy choice.


MONEY


Rich Dad Poor Dad

This book taught me so much! I was surprised at how much I didn’t know, and what I loved the most was realizing how many options there are! My mindsets were shifted and I became excited about all the possibilities!

Barefoot Investor

Scott Pape has transformed the way I think and ‘do’ money. His guide on how to do money is all you’ll ever need. Seriously, his suggestions are easy to implement and possible for everyone, whatever your money situation!

Poverty, Riches and Wealth

Learn what the Bible really says about money, poverty, riches and wealth. In it you’ll find keys to- overcome the never-enough mentality to experience true abundance- break free from a poverty mindset that reaps lack in your life, and demystify biblical teaching on money.

Money Handbook

This book was amazing! Samia is a gifted teacher. In Money handbook you will learn the Spiritual Keys and Practical Steps to Finance. Get ready to gain clarity about the purpose of money in your life!

FAITH + EMOTIONAL WELLNESS


Todd White Podcast

If you want to be encouraged and learn how to live a lifestyle of faith *this* is the podcast I recommend. It will inspire you to spend time with the Lord and live out your faith in a way that impacts the world around you!

Defining Moments

This book is one of my absolute favourites! It made me realise and understand that what was made available to others who walked in faith and the miraculous is actually available to me! It will inspire you to after more of God like you never have before.

John G Lake

It is no exaggeration when I say this book changed my life. It is my favourite book on faith that I have ever read. If you want to become hungry for living a life of faith like never before this is the book for you!

Nothing is Impossible with God

I cried after every single story of how God miraculously touched people’s lives. It will open your eyes to the goodness of God and what is actually possible when we live a life of faith in God.

The Practise of the Presence of God

I recommend this book to everyone. I was really inspired by Brother Lawrence’s life. His communion with God showed me the possibility of experiencing the presence of God at all times. This book is short but powerful and life changing.

Victorious Emotions

Are you tired of trying hard to be happy and victorious?Are you tired of working hard at enjoying life? Then this book is for you. Victorious Emotions will help create happiness as your default emotion.

AMSTERDAM 🌷🇳🇱 What an experience! It was AMSTERDAM 🌷🇳🇱
What an experience! It was so beautiful and interesting. Filled with so much history, breathtaking architecture and weeds and nudity…

What a combination. 

My family roots are 100% Dutch. It’s my grandparents home from both sides. It’s special to me and I loved being there. But the spiritual darkness that is there is real. 

Who else has been and what was your experience?

8 years ago I moved abroad to the US from Australi 8 years ago I moved abroad to the US from Australia.
And 2 months ago my husband, dog and I moved to Germany. 🇩🇪 

So what’s next for us? ✨

-I am learning German, it’s hard so feel free to encourage me lol

-I won’t be able to work for a while so I’m LIVING IT UP (mostly with pastries)

-Aldrin has some interviews coming up for work (he is German so he can start working straight away)

-We are living with friends, in their built out attic and it has been the best way to start in a foreign country - instant community, pizza nights, bbq’s etc..

-We are loving being a part of a smaller Church, feels already like family 

-In a few months we will start looking for our own place, which will make it feel real that this Country is home

-Attainable travel in Europe is a dream come true and I’ll be sharing it all!

-We feel so privileged and blessed to be living in our 3rd Country together 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇩🇪

-Big life transitions are hard (miss family and friends everyday) but thankfulness has been the key for us 

-Lastly, Aldrins cousin made us a cake to welcome us here  to Germany from Australia and then the US🥹 what is my life?!

It’s not entirely true but it’s still funny 😂

THINGS I WISH I’D KNOWN BEFORE IMMIGRATING TO TH THINGS I WISH I’D KNOWN BEFORE IMMIGRATING TO THE USA 🇺🇸 FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 
⬇️
-Marrying a permanent resident is NOT the same as marrying a US Citizen. It took me 2 years to be allowed back into the US. Marrying a citizen is much faster, knowing that in advance would have been helpful lol 😑

-Every state in the US is almost like a different Country, they have their own culture and laws, unlike Australia where they are much more similar

-Public transport is so different in the US (unless you live in a major City.) So many people I know there have never been on a train before 🤯

-Not having free medical insurance is just like in the movies, it’s hard to plan financially and save, I’ll forever be grateful for Australia’s medical system

-The work/life balance is probably my least favourite things about living in the US. US employees are actually not always legally entitled to paid holidays, but on average employees do provide on average around 5-10 paid vacation days a year. 

-Thanksgiving is the best! We love it and want to incorporate it into our traditions 🦃

-Writing dates backwards I am used to now, but it took forever! My birthday is 28/7 but in the US it is 7/28…

-Americans are sO good at championing each other and celebrating peoples success, it’s such a beautiful part of their culture! 🙌🏼

-Squirels look just like they do in the cartoons 🐿️

-Lastly, don’t ask for a side of ‘chips’ with your burger, you will be disappointed 😆
