THESE COLOURS!!! 🍂🍁

Who else is obsessed with autumn? What's your favourite part about this time of year?

Dear Autumn, First of all, you're breathtaking.

Dear Autumn,

First of all, you're breathtaking.

You smell delicious. I can't seem to breathe you in enough.

Your colours are captivating. I can't stop staring at you as you magically show off these firey reds, juicy oranges, deep yellows and chocolaty browns. Your my favourite colour pallette by far.

I always get to wear my favourite outfits for you. Cozy sweatshirts, tights and a pair of hiking boots. All because you always set the right temperature. Thanks for that.

You make me feel safe and warm inside, and I'm so grateful that I get to experience you every year.

You're the absolute best.

Love your biggest fan 💚🤎❤🧡

I’M GREAT AT MANY THINGS, BUT THIS ISN’T ONE O

I’M GREAT AT MANY THINGS, BUT THIS ISN’T ONE OF THEM.

Working out. I just can’t seem to make it a regular habit. I’ve been saying for YEARS, that I want to get into the best shape of my life. I’ve tried many online fitness apps, running, going to the gym…

They all work, until they don’t. Right when I’m getting into a flow & shout to the universe “This is the time I’m going to keep my daily workout schedule & be in the best shape of my life!” I miss a day & then another & another…

Now with a 2-year old, business to run, Airstream & house to look after, it seriously feels impossible to even get time to use the toilet let alone set time aside time to sweat.

But enough is enough! I’m sick of my own excuses. I’m taking action & I’d love for you to join me. I’ve partnered with @participACTION to take part in the #GreatBigMove. Myself along with @siyazarrabi will be getting outside every day to move our bodies. As we get active, milestones are unlocked, increasing chances at winning awesome prizes all through the ParticipACTION app. I’ve never had an incentive like this before & I love me some prizes. It brings out the competitiveness in me which I think is the missing link to creating a new habit of daily movement.

2 reasons why I have difficulty “finding the time” to exercise daily is because I’m often traveling & I’m a mama (other mama’s I know you hear me). I've also always thought I had to do this intense 1-hour gym style workout or it didn't count. I just don't have the time. However, the ParticipACTION app makes it difficult to come up with excuses. You don't have to do a fancy 1-hour workout. You just need to move for as long as it's comfortable for you. Do what feels right & fit movement into your day where you can. Whether that's a brisk walk in nature or dance in your garden, you can do it for 10 mins or an hour at a time, whatever works throughout your day & it will add up! ParticipACTION really does make it easy, which is key when you have such a busy lifestyle. I’m ready to create new habits. Who’s with me?

I’d love for you to download their free app, create your own team and get moving with Siya & I. Let’s get sweaty together! #sponsored

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOU'LL BE STANDING UNDER

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOU'LL BE STANDING UNDER THIS WATERFALL WITH ME THIS FEBRUARY?!?!

If you've been spending the last 7 months daydreaming about your next big adventure, this is your chance to turn that dream into reality.

We just launched our Hopscotch the Globe Group Trip to Costa Rica! You’ll join me this upcoming February on a 10-day adventure exploring the rich culture and geological wonders of Costa Rica, one of my favourite countries in the world.

Together, we'll discover the biodiversity of the Monteverde Cloud-forest and secrets of the centenarians living in one of the world’s seven blue zones. We'll sleep on an active volcano and wake up on a beautiful hacienda where you’ll experience the organic farm-to-table lifestyle between nature hikes, zip-lining and hot spring soaks. Our journey will end with beach hopping, wildlife safaris and sailing into the sunset.

So, who's coming?!?! Check out my Instagram stories, link in bio or head on over to https://hopscotchtheglobe.com/htg-travel-tribe-trips/ to secure your spot. Also swipe through these photos to see what others our saying about our group trips.

I can't wait to travel with you!
