We did it!! Starting a new goal of moving more with my daughter. Enjoyed the red arrows cool rainforest and bird sounds this morning 😊

Being a busy mum and business owner means I know how difficult it can be to make time for exercise. But self care starts with prioritizing yourself 💕

I’ve always kept active but my exercise has dropped off over the last few years. If you have been meaning to start, but it never feels like the “right” time - every and any day can be the day to start!!

If Dr Kat can make time to exercise so can you!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

MYTH!

UV radiation still reaches your skin through cloud cover; some clouds even reflect and intensify UV levels. Even during Cairns' cooler, cloudier dry season, sun damage can happen without you feeling it.

Cancer Council Australia recommends checking the daily UV Index and applying sun protection whenever it's 3 or above, rain or shine.

Today is Stress Down Day, Lifeline’s annual campaign encouraging Australians to take a moment for their mental wellbeing.

Over 1 million Australians reach out to Lifeline for support every year, a reminder of just how many people are navigating stress and difficult times.

Small, regular habits — movement, sleep, connection with others — all help build resilience.

If stress is feeling unmanageable, speaking with your GP is a good place to start.

There’s nothing better than something warm and comforting on a cold night.

And this potato and leek soup is exactly that, and easy to make ahead — just the thing after a busy week.

Let us know if you give it a go, we’d love to hear what you think!
