2 days ago by brownpapernutrition Went on a mission this year to create more delicious curries and whilst it's never going to be mission complete, it's definitely so much further than I had thought it would be - how good is learning right?! Most of my curries have been Indian flavours and dhal which are now becoming super easy because I have a simple method with the spices and then I more or less swap in whatever is in the fridge that week - different veggies, alternate proteins like chickpeas, tofu, lentils, on the weekend I cooked up mung beans and popped them in and
2 days ago by brownpapernutrition Happily eating this brekky every day at the moment... super satisfying, wholesome, flavoursome and a great start in high quality nutrition to kick off the day. Here's what I do... soak quinoa flakes with coconut, prunes, sunflower seeds, macadamias, almonds, cinnamon overnight just with boiling water, then pop it together with whatever seasonal fruits are around but this week we had amazeballs strawberries and I used up the rest of the frozen organic raspberries in the freezer. Served up either with coconut or greek yoghurt, take your pick, obviously the coconut is a bit richer so I don't find I

14 hours ago by brownpapernutrition Super fun way to end the week celebrating @theiconickids Birthday at the very iconic Luna Park. Stepped into my own kiddie element and had my hair braided too (have been told this morning that it’s “a bit embarrassing Mum ” ... oh ) Was actually blown away at how beautiful Luna Park still is and how they’ve managed to maintain it to so much of its original form. Lovely family time together, thanks for having us @theiconickids @theiconicau
3 days ago by brownpapernutrition This photo shows strength, the next photo also shows strength. They're strong for different reasons. It's important you see both. Most days I show up give and 250% but if on the next I'm wrecked I know my strongest card is giving myself permission to step back + not have the awful, heavy feeling that I'm not DOING or BEING enough. I don't keep pushing to keep a facade that I can have so much going on and still keep it all together. It's not possible to do so, yet so many of us feel we need to keep pushing

The Slow boutique hotel, Canggu Bali

by Jacqueline Alwill

On our recent trip to Bali we had an accomodation blunder – long story short, booked the trip so late that we grabbed an Air Bnb without really knowing the surrounds (generally tricky in Bali as it is but anyway) and on day two of holidays major construction started all around it – not so relaxing on a holiday. However, the blunder and bailing out of that accomodation in particular lead us to quite possibly the most amazing experience in accomodation for the remainder of the holiday! You have to have those moments in travel right? They push you for a reason.

And the push lead us to The Slow which I can only describe as quite possibly one of the most beautiful experiences in accomodation I’ve ever had. The attention to detail, design, quality of everything they include within the hotel and stunning, unique qualities of The Slow made it true to it’s name because literally the moment you step into your room, you are immersed and ready to slow down.

I’m not sure my words will actually do enough justice to your own experience at The Slow but we truly fell in love with everything. Their beautiful furnishings, industrial but polished design, attention to sustainability practice and divine ceramics for service and fortunately to purchase too.

If travelling to Bali at any time soon, please pause and experience The Slow – their restaurant serves heavenly delicious food (not featured here – the above is a papaya from a side of road fruit store – beyond!!!) and if you can stay there I honestly cannot recommend it more highly.
