Melbourne has my heart!⠀ ⠀ What a day! Flying down to Melbourne, shooting with @tsid_clothing and now off to @mumswhowine_au⠀ ⠀ And Bali tomorrow!⠀ ⠀ Prepare yourself for story spam 😜
Did you know that every @hellofreshau order comes with a toy for the kids. Well better than a toy. A box. Because we all know kids love nothing more than a box to play with 😂⠀ ⠀ Bébé has converted this week’s box into a race car (that’s a boot at the back in case you couldn’t tell 🙊) and it keeps him and Bambino thoroughly entertained while I whip up dinner. ⠀ ⠀ Although since I’m jetting off to Melbourne today, it will be Hubby whipping up #hellofresh dinners for the rest of this week 😉 at least I know it will minimise the amount of times they visit the drive through... #amirightmamas⠀ ⠀ Don’t forget to use my code LoveRachaelx for 40% OFF your order (link in my bio) so you too can have an enjoyable dinner experience instead of the usual frantic OHMYGOSHWHATAMIGOINGTOCOOKTONIGHT scenario (it’s not just me right?)! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ________________________________⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #champagnesilvousplait #csvpcollab #workingwithhellofresh
Night before nerves. ⠀ ⠀ I don’t fear flying, but the whole getting to the airport on time/check in/making sure the bags weigh the correct amount etc makes me really anxious. ⠀ ⠀ At least the boys have really perked up, they’re eating again and have loads of energy. ⠀ ⠀ Oh and I had appointments #3 & #4 getting my lashes refilled and a spray tan at @midnightbellalashesandtanning ... seriously men have it SO easy 😂 ⠀ ⠀ Ps. PSA this @bettylane_ Sorrento Dress (plus a whole heap of other beautiful pieces) is currently on SALE! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #champagnesilvousplait #bettylanestyle #poopaddock #nervousflyer
If this entire outfit could appear in my wardrobe please, that would be amazing 😉⠀ ⠀ #wishlistwednesdaycsvp on the blog now (link in bio) xx
Thank you everyone for the well wishes for the boys, they seem to have perked up a bit by bedtime tonight and there hasn’t been any new rashes or vomits 🙌🏼 I’m crossing my fingers they’re better by Thursday or else the #mumguilt will be crushing! ⠀ ⠀ Today I ticked off Bali Prep appointment #2... getting mah hair did at @stefan_carindale. Tomorrow are a few more appointments and last minute errands and I think I’ll be ready! ⠀ ⠀ And thank you everyone for the plane outfit ideas! I’ve shared your responses on stories (if anyone else is interested). ⠀ ⠀ I have to say these @zarc_clothing Bootays and Blossom 2.0 Top are strong contenders at the moment. They feel like Pajamas! 🙌🏼
These two. ⠀ ⠀ Temperatures. Viral rash. Vomiting. Headaches. Teething. General misery. ⠀ ⠀ Right before Bali. And hubby has come down the the man-flu as well. ⠀ ⠀ Feeling like the universe is telling me not to go! Does this happen to anyone else as well???⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ @littletreads used code CSVP10 for 10% OFF #littletreadstribe
Oh hello, it’s me and my new friend. ⠀ ⠀ Mr Reformer⠀ ⠀ A few of you will remember I did some Reformer Pilates classes a year ago and absolutely loved them, but I let Mum life get in the way and didn’t keep up with it. Well I’m back in the saddle (if you will) and went to my @studio_pilates Orientation Class the other night. ⠀ ⠀ Boy did I feel it the next few day 😂 I absolutely loved having the screens playing the moves for me, it really helps out a newbie who gets overwhelmed “turning on the T zone”, changing to 2 springs, put your feet this way, have a neutral back.... whaaaat?? Ha ha! I definitely had a better handle of the terms in just one lesson though as the beautiful instruction spent the entire time going around and fixing our postures and movements. ⠀ ⠀ I don’t think I’ll be able to squeeze another session in before Bali but once I’m back I’m going to aim to get into studio 2-3 a week to help regain my core (that’s non existent after 2 c-sections). Have you tried Reformer Pilates?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _______________________________⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #champagnesilvousplait #csvpcollab #studiopilates #reformerpilates
Hello lovelies, how has your weekend been?⠀ ⠀ After starting on a high Friday night with the #MumsWhoWineBrisbane Launch, Saturday we were greeted with Bambino covered head to toe in a Viral Rash and we’re now ending Sunday with Bébé having a fever. #MumLife⠀ ⠀ But on a sweeter note, how gorgeous is my @somethingaboutaudreyboutique Jess Wrap Dress [Sz12 $99.95] ... you know I’ve never met a wrap dress I didn’t love! Use code RACHAEL15 for 15% OFF your #somethingavoutaudrey order too 💕⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _____________________________⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #chanpagnesilvousplait #csvpspon #wrapdress
About last night...⠀ ⠀ Almost 200 Mamas came to the @mumswhowine_au Brisbane Launch and partied their tooshies off with us. ⠀ ⠀ Heading out for a wine and adult company isn’t always that easy as a Mama, juggling the day to day and fitting in some time for yourself is hard work. So I’m incredibly humbled and excited for the turn out we had, and Mamas... our next event is already in the works!! 🥂🥂⠀ ⠀ We have such an amazing range of affiliates (both local and nation wide), who generously have created amazing offers and discounts for all #mumswhowine members, but I whole heartedly believe MORE IS MORE! So if you are a business or visit a business (hospitality, retail, health and beauty, you name it.. if your ethos fits in with self care for Mamas!) then message me, we’d love to chat and get more affiliates on board!⠀ ⠀ For $59.00 a year you have access to ALL the affiliates nation wide PLUS receive $15.00 off your ticket to all MWW events... we are aiming to host one a month! So even if you only get to 4 events and don’t make use of any affiliates... you’ve already made your money back! ⠀ ⠀ Thank you to @lauren_mumswhowine for creating MWW and #selfcaresaves so that we have an excuse to put ourselves first, even if it’s only for a night. To @bethany_halpin for being my door gal with me 🥰, @clothesonclaire for helping with name tags and drink tickets, @sevcoban for being an amazing event photographer, @beirne_lane for your fantastic hospitality, and last but not least @thehairdressermama for coming as my date, letting me ditch her to work all night and still loving me 😘😘 ⠀ ⠀ Wearing @glassons linen jumpsuit & @mint_and_moss clutch (currently 25% OFF) and side note I’m only ever wearing @vionicshoesaus to my future events as my feet were killing me last night 😂⠀ ⠀ #mumswhowinebrisbane #selfcaresaves #mumswhowineambassador #beirnelane
Happy Friday lovelies!⠀ ⠀ One of my earliest blog posts was a 5 Minute Beauty Routine, how to get out the door on time but looking (and feeling) put together. I think it’s still relevant, but I’ve discovered some new fab products, so thought I’d refresh us all on a quick and easy routine for an everyday look!⠀ ⠀ I’ve kept the products to ones that you can find at @pricelineau, as they’re budget friendly and accessible to busy Mamas, however you can sub any of these specific products for other brands that work for you and your budget!⠀ ⠀ Head to the blog (link in bio) for details and links x
Happy Valentine’s Day! With kids it can sometimes be hard to celebrate by going out to dinner, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a special meal that’s delicious and stress free... ⠀ ⠀ We’ve been getting @hellofreshau at least twice a month for the last year or more and it’s such a time saver, taking the stress out of deciding what to make for dinner PLUS making sure we have a variety of foods for the boys. Check my stories to see a little hack I did for tonight’s dinner.⠀ ⠀ I recommend #hellofresh to EVERYONE I know because it really takes so much stress out of my day! Use code LoveRachaelx for 40% OFF your first box, and make your dinner time infinitely more enjoyable and stress free each night! ⠀ ⠀ Ps check out Bambino 😂 #wheresmyfoodatlady⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #workingwithhellofresh #csvpcollab
Today this little monkey and I hit @emporiumhotels to see my beautiful friend @kimbalikes who was up for the launch of @stylingyouthelabel’s launch party last night. I was very lucky to meet a few insta-babes IRL as well, @chroniclesofmk @ali_lennard @stylingyou and see @onecoolmother again. And wonders will never cease he was a total angel! I actually was so stressed about taking him, he’s my little tornado so I didn’t think it would go well 🙈 I swear he’s lulling me into a false sense of security so I take him to more events... 🤔⠀ ⠀ If you haven’t been to #emporiumbne I highly suggest you do, it’s absolutely stunning. Bambino made himself right at home in Kim-Marie’s room (see stories) and I have to say... I’m now a little desperate to stay there (sans children of course) as it’s amazing!
