Brew & Muse is ideally a weekly roundup of things I’ve done, seen and loved, and any random thoughts and musings that have drifted through my mind. I often find some neat things on the internet that I think others might think are cool too. So, grab a cuppa with me and let me talk more shit for a few minutes while you read.
the brew
A soulful peppermint tea is hitting the spot this afternoon. Something a little zingy, ya know?
The musings
It’s almost June. Can you believe it? I can’t. And with that I’m contemplating a bit of a rebrand here. I’m on a quest to do a total life overhaul over the next 2.5 years so that by the time I hit 40, I’m feeling amazing and in a great place mentally, physically and emotionally. Recently, I have been dabbling back into somatic release movement where you basically jump up and down to music to get out any trauma, anxiety or other feels that may be suck. It sounds nuts but it works.
monthly Stay In Club
This has not worked out the way I wanted. May just ended up being a clusterfuck. I travelled a lot for work. June maybe better. Hold tight on this. I am still determined to make a go of it! That being said, we did a have a ‘bush TV’ night. Fire pit was purchased and lit up and was the most glorious night on the property yet.

how I’m filling my cup this week
I’m going to Tassie this weekend and that always fills my cup. Salamanca Markets, oysters, wine bars and cool air to my face.
what we’re cooking, good looking
My batch cooking worked a treat. I’ve almost finished everything I cooked and it was yummy. It was also glorious not having to cook every single night.
currently on my bookshelf
I was in Kmart over the weekend and that does a number on a girl as it is. I blacked out and bought four books as they were cheap and had been on my list for awhile.
