Life in May
by thissparklylife
Hi! I’ve been MIA lately because this semester is coming to an end and assignments/studying is consuming a lot of my time, but I thought I’d share some snapshots of what I’ve been up to. Here it goes :)

eating lots of these… joking! I volunteered in a local primary school canteen for one of my assignments and sadly this is what majority of the children were ordering for lunch :(

and a lot of these…

eating lots of deliciousness – raw sushi with yummy beetroot stained ginger from CNR + vegan mushroom burger with macadamia nut cheese

jaffa raw cheesecake from CNR

I was lucky enough to be invited to Gwinganna’s wellness seminar – ‘Food Stress and You’ in Perth, which was inspiring. The retreat looks so lush, I’ve been dreaming about going. I also got to meet the lovely Annette from Wellness W.A. at the seminar.

I wish I was doing more of this but I pushed my body too hard earlier this week and hurt my back, so I’m taking it easy for a few days source

I love all your photos…inspires me to eat better! Good luck with your assignments and exams :)
Thanks Dee! :) xx
Your pup is so cute! I didn’t know the Fremantle markets had an organic bit?! Is it reasonably priced? It was great to meet you too :) x
There’s a stall in the middle of the fruit and veg section :) haha is organic ever reasonably priced here? If you’ve found somewhere that is, let me know! The strawberries were cheaper than conventional ones at least! I think it’s similarly priced to peaches? xx
Hi Emma, you have really inspired me to change my life. I have written down names and address of your food recommendations! Thanks for your amazing take on things, your blog is facinating and fantastic. Thank you so much.
Jo this is an absolute delight to read! I am SO happy you’ve been inspired :D Thanks for taking the time to let me know and feel free to ask any questions you may have xxx
My dog is by far the best study buddy I could have too! The weather down here in Bunbury is so ridiculously blah that I can’t be motivated to do much else. Doesn’t really leave me feeling very positive.
I’m a new follower, and found you via Rach @ In Spaces Between so hello from a fellow Western Australian.

Hi Jess! Nice to meet you :) I’m certainly not loving the weather at the moment either, I’d much rather be outside in the sunshine xx
