Favourite thing to wear that makes you feel powerful , sexy , chic , like you?

A jumpsuit, I always feel powerful and like I can take on anything in good jumpsuit. 

Biggest Inspiration :

My biggest inspiration is my mother Nikki, she is truly the kindest, most caring, giving woman I know to EVERYONE, she doesn't have a lot but gives and gives to those around her. Not only that is she is just bloody funny and cool to be around, always makes everyone feel appreciate and loved and lights up any room. If I am even have the lady she is I would feel like I had cracked life. 

Favourite Eats :

I love the tofu bowl from &sushi its my all time favourite meal

To cook

Anything fresh and full of colour and veggies. Loving green curry at the moment packed full of vegetables. 

To dine

Masu - again Japanese (can you see this trend!)

Favourite place to visit :

Queenstown - this is where Trent proposed and will always be my favourite place  

People you admire in business or in general : 

There are so many, right now the people I admire most are those standing up for their beliefs and sharing their views and ideas online. Despite living in a world where so many feel able to constantly tear them down, those that show perseverance and don't give up.  

Favourite Quote 

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

Favourite way to move your body 

Getting super sweaty with a heart rate that is through the roof at F45

What brings you peace?

Being in nature with Trent and Maddox, I cherish our daily walks so much 

Yours in health + beauty
