Are you after some free help? I've got you!

Sometimes you just have a few things to ask, someone to bounce ideas with, take some advice from. You don't NEED enough help to sign up for a whole room makeover, you want to do it yourself but you just want a little help??

I get you. And that's why my DMs are open. I'm currently helping with styling a living room in San Francisco, a girls' bedroom in Dubai and a kitchen in Melbourne, and I honestly get a kick out of it. It's like styling my own place, except.. it's not my own place.

Anyways, if you want some help, send me a DM!

One day, she tells her heart, one day.⁣

One day she'll find herself floating with ease, with light and airy steps, a heart full of contentment, a smile on her face.⁣

One day she'll have the space to create the magic that's deep inside her, bursting from its seams, begging to be let free. One day.⁣


Oh wait, I was supposed to talk interiors? This kitchen had me dreaming and hoping, and desperately wishing, for a better time, a better life. ⁣

I know how I choose to live is in my hands, but sometimes, a lot of the time, it feels like it's not. There's so much yet so little standing between me and the life I want. Constantly fighting with myself, my fears, my demons, every second of every day gets so damn tiring. I just want this to be over and start THAT phase of life when I make magic, with everything I touch. ⁣

One day, one day.⁣

Join me in my moment of vulnerability. Are you happy with your life? Or are you also standing in your own way to happiness?

Are you an Android user?

Are you jealous of Apple users for how eeeasy it is to copy and paste pictures to their Instagram stories and make them look so darn pretty?

After trying almost everything, I gave up until I came across this hack a while ago and have been using it ever since.

Also check out the maker of this hack .xo for more awesome stories ideas. She's always bubbling with inspiration and ideas 💛

Having a Zen Zone outdoors is a simple yet perfect way to have nature work in our favour and help our minds and bodies relish in peace.⁣

Instead of bringing the outdoors in to imitate time in nature, bring some of the indoors out. A hammock is on my list, something I've always wanted. But if a hammock won't work in your backyard, patio or balcony, you can never go wrong with some simple outdoor furniture; a rug, some cushions, or an armchair with a footrest. ⁣

Do you have some unused space outdoors? Would you like some guidance on creating a Zen Zone there? Send me a DM and I'm happy to do this for you 🍀

Finding uncomplicated memes on interior design was hard!

But in all honesty, I really do survey literally every building I step into and size up all the design decisions that have been, or should have been, made. I thoroughly enjoy it, but can't say the same for whoever's stuck listening to my mini design lessons p🤪

What are some of the 'problematic' sides of what you do?

Did you know that shadows are a vital element in biophilic design?⁣

I'm always going on about the importance of natural light (my story viewers know that I've considered pasting it on my forehead, THAT'S how much I vouch for it) but creating shadows through the clever play of light is a big element of biophilic design too.⁣

Shadows create movement and activity, much needed for a rich environment full of life, which in turn is vital for our physical and mental well-being. ⁣

Have you ever thought about making interesting shadows in your home, and I don't just mean playing with the shadows of your fingers across the wall 😜

You might be making these mistakes at home and not even realizing it!

🍀 Maximize natural light by keeping bulky furniture away from windows.

🍀 Declutter. Declutter. Declutter!

🍀 Be willing to embrace change and outgrow things and ideas.

Which mistake are you making?

P.S. I make sure you aren't making any mistakes that get in the way of living a healthy, happy life. DM me NO MISTAKES and I'll give your home the refresh you've been waiting for.

I'll fight you on this: it's absolutely impossible to condense 24 hours into 15 seconds, 24 hours of work, struggle, patience, fun, laughter, love, energy and ideas, but here is a glimpse of some of the things I do daily and that bring me joy 💛⁣

Do any of these make an appearance in your day? Let me know which one 👇🏼

A place to be me, truly me?⁣

Hidden from judgement and criticism of man.⁣

Embraced, loved by gentle, wise trees.⁣

Immersed in leather-bound pages.⁣

Free to dance. And paint. And sing. And laugh and cry and breathe and fly. ⁣

To the audience of purity, of love.⁣

My Zen Zone.⁣

Where is yours?

Three biggest life lessons learnt over the past 5 years 👇🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1️⃣ Stop. Waiting. For the right time, idea, once you have everything perfectly ready to take the next step. Just don't. The right moment will never come. Take action NOW. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2️⃣ Be willing to learn and shift patterns. Be aware of yourself and your habits. Read. Look at things with an open mind. Question. Heal from past wounds. And grow. Constantly. It's the best thing you can do for yourself and others.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3️⃣ Have good friends. And keep them close. I would have lost my mind by now if I didn't have real friends with me, the closest of which has been .ilahee We've grown together over the past decade, supported each other and held space to learn, grieve, evolve and have fun. Thank you.⁣

I'd stay here all day. And nap. And read. And talk to my plants.⁣

Do you talk to your plants or is it just me? 😁⁣

P.S. if you want your Zen Zone to look like this, send me a DM and let's get started.
