Mouthwatering Mondays: Garden Fresh Green Salad
We have seriously neglected our veggie garden lately resulting in wilted (and skeleton-ised) silverbeet, rotten tomatoes and kale minus a few (all) leaves. The one thing that has been surviving like a trooper despite our lack of TLC is our wild rocket. If only all of our veggies were as strong and resilient as this [...]
Thoughtful Thursday’s: The Value of Things
By Curtis Aiken. Everything is not what it seems. Things hold no value except what you put on them. Find true value in your life inside your heart, through connection with and in service of yourself and other people, equally. That which you overvalue the most will cause the greatest anguish when it is no [...]
6 things I adore right now
By Candice Aiken. I’m not one for using lame and cheesy office phrases such as ‘Mondayitus’ and ‘thank god it’s Friday’ (aka: TGIF) but here goes anyway because it’s just how I feel … HAPPY HUMP DAY! WOO HOO!! TFIW!! (I will let you guess what that stands for). Now, I don’t want to wish [...]
Mouthwatering Mondays: Lime N Maqui Berry Sheezecake
At one stage in my life, I thought it would be a fab idea to paint my entire room purple with black trimmings. Why? Well who knows what goes through a teenager’s mind really, but I guess I’ve always been one for going slightly overboard when I fall in love with something. It just so [...]
Thoughtful Thursday: How to Choose a Better Life for Yourself
By Curtis Aiken. There are 7 billion people on this planet and each person has their own individual morals and opinions.

If your neighbour believes something different to you does that make them wrong, [...]
Mouthwatering Mondays: Cold N Flu Juice Remedy
WOW, what an extremely cleansing few weeks we’ve had in the Aiken household! Our once plastic-filled pantry has now been completely replaced with glass to store our goodies, we have sold and given away TONS of household items we no longer use or have double of (seriously, who needs 2 juicers, 2 blenders, 2 dehydrators and 2 food processors?!), [...]
Thoughtful Thursdays: Life begins at the end of your comfort zone
By Candice Aiken. A few months ago, the beautiful Elena Brower posted a ‘mindful smack’ vlog on where comfort ends, life begins. This has been playing on my mind ever since as I have been moving in and out of my comfort zone. Thankfully, the universe has my back so it has been ever so kind to whack me across the [...]
Mouthwatering Mondays: Amazing Acai Berry Balls
Thanks to the amazing David Wolfe, I have introduced a huge variety of superfoods into my diet over the past few years and feel amazing for it. Though cacao has captured my heart forever, it is the humble purple berry, ACAI (pronounced ‘ah-sigh-ee’), that continues to blow me away. Native to Central and South America, this [...]
It is never too late to press the reset button on your life
By Curtis Aiken. It is never too late to press the reset button on your life – just press reset and start again. Have you ever wanted to wipe your slate clean and start again? Did you ever look at a child or a baby or a teenager just out of school and think “you are [...]
Thoughtful Thursdays: Words of Wisdom
By Candice Aiken. I decided to take some leave from work this week. Partly because I was in desperate need of some ‘time out’ due to some important decision-making for the present moment and my future, and partly because I have a gigantic to-do list for our business/website/other projects, plus many household chores and work was just getting in the [...]
