KettleBells...

Growing up I was very much a tomboy and loved sports. I played, soccer (indoor & out), basketball & netball. I also trained as a sprinter, so yes I was very fit.

But once I moved from my home town Swan Hill to the City, Melbourne; I stopped playing everything and pretty much stopped training altogether. Before I knew it the Kilos where piling on and I had become very lazy. Ever since I have been struggling with body image and weight. 

Now having changed my diet and trying to do some sort of exercise everyday I have been getting more motivated.

I was recently introduced to the Kettlebell Craze and have noticed the results it can bring. Kettlebells are both great for men and women. It targets all your fat burning zones giving you the lean, toned body you want.

Lounge..

One of my favourite clients I have worked with is Lounge Apparel created by Carmen Bianco (wife of Tony Bianco).

The range is filled with edgy designs that bring class to a woman's wardrobe.

This winter, Black & White campaign was shot by Chris Tovo in the back streets of Richmond. 

Black & White with Shades of Grey

I have a love for Black and White Photography.

I admire the way it enables a portrait to be captured, revealing a hidden beauty seen by the photographer. It takes away the distraction of colour, bringing forth its individual story and emotion.

Melbourne based photographer Christopher Tovo, known for his talent of bringing together light and shade to perfect the art of Black & White Photography is a admired photographer of mine. Check out his work on www.christophertovo.com

Below is some of his work and also that of other admired photographs.

We All Need A Reminder...

Today a friend emailed me some reminders that we all could use once in a while.

We all have at times, more than not, felt unworthy. I myself have struggled with self-image. I sometimes believe I do not meet society's expectations of what beauty is. I have at many times, wanted to run and hide, feeling inadequate. But as they say, ''beauty is in the eye of the beholder''.  It is so much more than skin deep. 

Excepting what you have, and what you don't is just the beginning. It is learning to love every flaw and imperfection, knowing they are what define you and create your individual beauty making you PERFECT.
