Hello & welcome! I’m Rachael, an early 30’s Mama of two beautiful boys who loves a fabulous outfit and a cheeky glass of champagne.

Instagram... InstaGLAM

17 Women. ⠀ 9 Venues. ⠀ 3 Days. ⠀ 1 Hotel. ⠀ ⠀ Sounds like a Real Housewives of Instagram waiting to happen doesn’t it. ⠀ ⠀ Nothing could be further from the truth, and I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to spend time with this amazing group of women this weekend. And for Brisbane for being SUCH. A. BABE! ⠀ ⠀ If this weekend has taught me anything it’s; Girl’s weekends should happen more often, amazing relationships can come out of Instagram, and I really need to start exploring my own backyard more! ⠀ ⠀ A huge thank you to the gorgeous team at @trypbrisbane from @wyndhamholidays for not only putting up with a gaggle of women all weekend, but all the thoughtful touches that just made being away from our babies that less stressful, and our stay so much more special. ⠀ ⠀ And to @elevenrooftopbar @hellenika @osbournehotel @theyotclub @ponydiningeaglestreetpier @mrpercivals @missblissau for the amazing service and experience, you really should @visitbrisbane (even if you’re born and bred Brisbane like me 😂)⠀ ⠀ #wyndhamholidays #trypbywyndham #trypbrisbane #thisisbrisbane #visitbrisbane
Falling in love with Brisbane all over again 💜⠀ ⠀ @hellenika at @thecalilehotel is just a Dream, stunning venue, amazing staff... and the food... 😍😍😍 If you have a chance to visit I highly recommend! ⠀ ⠀ Obsessed with my @stylemeover Violet Dress [Size 12 currently available for pre-order] it has the most flattering shirred skirt and gorgeous star print x ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #gifted #thisisbrisbane #hellenika #thecalilehotel #sp #stylemeover @visitbrisbane #instamumsdo #instamumsdobrisbane
My face when I remember I have to apply fifty coats of fake tan tonight so my ghost legs don’t scare everyone 🙄😫👻
Between emails, blogs, Instagram, general texts and googling not to mention online shopping 🙊 I spend a fair bit of time on my phone. ⠀ ⠀ When @baxterblue_ reached out to see if I’d like to try their blue light glasses it was an immediate yes from me. The gorgeous @hellopoppylee swears by them and after two weeks of trialling them, I have to say I’m 100% converted. ⠀ ⠀ My eyes no longer have that tired heavy feeling, and I don’t get that technology headache anymore and I find I’m going to sleep easier (I do most of my Instagram late at night as you may have noticed!). ⠀ ⠀ These are not prescription glasses, they filter the blue light from screens & amazingly every time a pair of #baxterblue glasses are purchased they donate a pair of reading glasses to someone in need through their pair for a pair pledge with @restoringvision. How amazing is that! ⠀ ⠀ If you’d like to try a pair the team have kindly given me a code BBEXPRESS for free express shipping is AUS & US. I’m wearing the Limited Edition @rachael_finch pair 💕⠀ ⠀ #gifted #bluelightglasses
Behind every Instagram photo...⠀ ⠀ Is a girl standing on a table (swipe). ⠀ ⠀ Okay, not every photo. But there’s been plenty of #doingitforthegram in my time 😂⠀ ⠀ What’s the craziest/funniest thing you’ve done to get the “perfect”’pic?
Last night Sophie from @rothburywild tagged me in a ‘Get To Know You’ post and since there’s some new faces around here I thought why not! I tried to do new things though for those of you who’ve been around a bit longer 💕 and I’d love for you to tell me something about you below! ⠀ ⠀ 1. I cannot have the volume on an odd number unless that number is 5. I also can’t have 4 or 6. It’s too close to 5 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀ ⠀ 2. I always wanted to be a girl Mama. I cried when we found out Bébé was a boy. But I have absolutely no issues with not having a girl now, ⠀ ⠀ 3. Having Bambino is like being a mother for the first time. Bébé is seriously a unicorn child, he always fed, ate, slept, behaved amazingly. Bambino is already in the ‘two’ phase, has no fear and still doesn’t sleep through the night 🙄⠀ ⠀ 4. I’m naturally a dark blonde. Staying on the dark side is very expensive 😂⠀ ⠀ 5. I’m a Gemini on the cusp of Cancer. I never thought much of horoscopes but I was VERY Gemini when I was young and now am VERY Cancer. I’d love to have my charts done. ⠀ ⠀ 6. I’m very sentimental. I also am an obsessive culler. It’s very difficult to balance the two 😂⠀ ⠀ 7. I never in a million years would have thought I’d do what I do now. I didn’t even have Facebook until a long term client of mine went to the UK and told me she wouldn’t update me personally just because I didn’t have social media 🙊⠀ ⠀ 8. No matter how much weight I gain or lose my boobs stay the same cup size and it drives me insane. I really hoped breastfeeding would reduce them but nope 🙈⠀ ⠀ 9. It’s my birthday month and I’ll have to check the next age bracket box as of next month 😭⠀ ⠀ 10. I love the snow and am desperate to take the boys to see it. But I hate skiing/snowboarding 🙅🏻‍♀️⠀
A little bit Sadie. A little bit Captain Planet. ⠀ ⠀ By our powers combined...⠀ ⠀ If you don’t get that reference, go home you’re too young 😂🙊⠀ ⠀ When @happi.earth asked if they could send me a year’s supply of washing concentrate I was like “yes please!” Then “oh wait where will I store it all 🤔😳” but this my friends is what 400 washes looks like!! ⠀ ⠀ It’s only two pumps and 25 cents per load.. your clothes are clean, fresh and it doesn’t cost the earth. Literally or figuratively. ⠀ ⠀ Certified organic, low packaging, AND #happiearth plant a mangrove tree with every pack purchased (mangrove trees remove 5 times more carbon dioxide than any other tree!) this is an easy and affordable way to assist our planet. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #gifted #organiccleaning #captainplanet
Next weekend I’m having a Girl’s Staycation in Brisbane and I’m soooooo excited! ⠀ ⠀ A whole weekend of hotel beds, other people cooking for me, wine, child-free time with girlfriends and playing tourist in Brisbane! ⠀ ⠀ Now to figure out what to wear 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #wyndhamholidays #instamumsdobrisbane @wyndham_holidays #instamumsdo #mumcation @trypbrisbane
I’ve been making camouflage jokes all day... Bébé doesn’t think I’m funny 🙄⠀ ⠀ I took the boys into @studio_pilates Hawthorne studio this morning for Hundreds for Hope. Jumping castles, gelato, donuts, face painting and raffle prizes... see my stories for all the fun. ⠀ ⠀ Also, I really want to get Bébé some boots like Bambino, but I’d prefer Velcro to laces, is that a thing for size 1 (jnr)?
The only time I’ve seen a sloth move fast is when I’m trying to sneak out for a cheeky treat... I swear they can smell chocolate a mile away!⠀ ⠀ One brownie I don’t mind the boys eating often is the Chewy Flourless Fudgy Chocolate Brownies from @kezs_kitchen. Free from refined sugar, gluten, grain, egg and dairy... these vegan delights are SO yummy! Have you tried them? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #kezsbrowniepoints #kezskitchencollab #gifted
The look you have when the instructor walks past and you suddenly have the urge to dig deeper past the burn... 🔥🔥🔥⠀ ⠀ So the @studio_pilates 30 Day Challenge ended this week. Did I hit 20 classes in 30 days? Was it worth the juggle? Do I feel any different? Do I want to continue? ⠀ ⠀ You can click the link in bio or ask me below 😉⠀ ⠀ Don’t forget Hundreds for Hope is tomorrow! I’ll be heading to the Hawthorne studio about 10am and would love to see you there x If you can’t make it you can still donate to #studiopilates directly to help Cancer Children’s Research x ⠀ ⠀ #studiopilates #30daychallenge #champagnesilvousplait
Taking some time out in the Winter sun and my @retreatyourself_box goodies. Is there a better way to spend a Friday morning??⠀ ⠀ The Winter Box is LIVE ladies!!! (This is the Surprise Box, the seasonal boxes are triple the size!!) ⠀ ⠀ You know how much I love these boxes and all the amazing AUSTRALIAN brands inside, the perfect way to try new brands and take some much needed mama time x ⠀ ⠀ Swipe to see everything that was in the surprise box!⠀ ⠀ #retreatyourself #reatreatyourselfbox #gifted
