LAST MINUTE SPOTS ✨ Women’s Circle tomorrow (Rockhampton)

The festive season can be beautiful… and also a bit feral.

If you’re feeling stretched, flat, overstimulated, or you just need a reset before December hits — I’m facilitating a Women’s Circle tomorrow morning at Splendiferous.

We’ll keep it gentle and grounded: a guided meditation, a seasonal check-in with yourself, time to reflect, and connection with other women (no pressure to share more than you want).

🗓️ Sat 29 Nov | 10:00am–12:00pm
📍 Splendiferous – 109 Campbell St, Rockhampton City
💰 $30
🎟️ Book here: https://www.splendiferoushealth.com.au/booking-calendar/women-s-circle-s-1

If you’ve been meaning to do something for you before the end-of-year chaos really kicks off… this is your sign. 😉

🫘 Brain Beans & Mood Magic (yes, really)

I fell down a rabbit hole about broad beans / faba beans and now I’m dragging you with me.

Here’s the short version:
• Broad beans are one of the only foods that naturally contain L-DOPA – the same molecule used in Parkinson’s meds. Your body can turn L-DOPA into dopamine, one of the brain chemicals linked with motivation, pleasure and “actually giving a crap”. 
• Plant scientists are now looking at broad beans as a “functional food” for mental health, especially for the kind of depression where joy goes missing (anhedonia). Early studies using L-DOPA tablets have shown promise in that space, and now they’re seeing whether food can play a supporting role. 
• On a less nerdy note: they’re also high in protein and fibre, packed with antioxidants, good for the gut bugs, and we know the gut–brain axis has a lot to say about mood and resilience. 

So no, I’m not saying “eat beans, ditch your meds”.
I am saying: if your body tolerates them, broad beans might be a beautiful little food ally for brain and body.

Over the next week I’ll share:
• a couple of simple “brain bean” recipes
• a grounding diffuser blend to pair with mindful meals
• some journalling prompts around food, mood and self-care

Because mental health support isn’t one big thing – it’s a hundred tiny, doable things we repeat.

✨ Gentle disclaimer:
Broad/fava beans are NOT safe for everyone. People with G6PD deficiency can have a severe reaction (favism), and fava beans can also interact with Parkinson’s medications and some antidepressants. If you have a medical condition, are on meds, or are pregnant/breastfeeding, please chat with your doctor before playing with “brain beans” or changing anything major in your diet. This post is education & curiosity only, not medical advice.

When was the last time you cleaned the thing that cleans everything else… your washing machine? 🧺✨

If your towels are coming out smelling a bit “wet dog and regret” instead of fresh, it might be time for a little laundry cauldron magic. 🧙‍♀️🧽

Sharing this simple low-tox spell using vinegar, bicarb and my dōTERRA staples: On Guard, Lemon & Tea Tree. 🌿🧴

🌀 Top Loader Detox Ritual
✨ Fill the machine with hot water
✨ Add 4 cups white vinegar + 1 cup bicarb soda and let it fizz like a cauldron
✨ Add 5 drops On Guard, 3 drops Lemon, 3 drops Tea Tree
✨ Let it sit for about an hour to soak out the gunk
✨ Close the lid and run the full cycle

🔮 Front Loader Reset Spell
✨ Choose the hottest setting + extra rinse
✨ Pour 1 cup white vinegar into the detergent compartment
• add 2 drops each of On Guard, Tea Tree & Lemon
✨ Add 1/2 cup bicarb straight into the drum
✨ Run a full cycle and let the vinegar, bicarb + oils do their thing
✨ Wipe out the inside of the drum and get right into the rubber seal – that’s where most of the nasties like to lurk 👀🦠

Your future self will thank you every time you open the door and don’t get smacked in the face with eau de mouldy socks. 🧦💨

When was the last time you deep cleaned your washing machine?

Here is a great recipe to get that mouldy smell out of your machine.
TOP LOADER
✨ Fill your machine with hot water
✨ Add 4 cups of vinegar and 1 cup of baking soda to your water. Let it fizz away!
✨ Add 5 drops On Guard, 3 drops Lemon & 3 drops Tea tree or 10 drops Abode.
✨ Let it sit for one hour before starting the cycle.
✨ Close the lid and finish the cycle.
FRONT LOADER WASHER
✨Use the hottest setting available
✨Select the extra rinse setting
✨Pour 1 cup Vinegar into the detergent compartment and add 2 drops each of On Guard, Tea Tree and Lemon oil to it.
✨Add 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drum of the washer.
✨Run the full cycle and let the vinegar and baking soda + oils do its magic!
✨ Clean the inside of the drum with a sponge & clean the inside of the seal (this is where the majority of the nastiness from the front loaders comes from).

Sharing this because… wow.

This clip starts off like just another pub band, then the lyrics click. You can see the women in the crowd realise what it is about and their faces go from curious to “holy s**t, they are singing about me.” The blokes look half amused, half confused… right up until the low libido verse hits. Then you can see the penny drop – a mix of horror, mystification and a bit of respect.

Perimenopause and menopause are not just “a few mood swings” or a joke about hot flushes. They are:
• Physical
• Mental
• Emotional
• Long term and relentless for some of us

It affects relationships, work, self esteem, daily life. And the kicker is that no two women go through it the same way. Different timing, different symptoms, different levels of pain and exhaustion. No handbook. Most of us were never told what to actually expect.

This is why stuff like this song matters. It gets the conversation out of the shadows. Men need to hear it too, not just the women who are living it.

If you are in the perimenopause or menopause trenches, I see you.
If you love someone who is, please watch this, really listen, and maybe ask her how she is actually going.

🌿 Copaiba vs CBD — Know the Difference

Copaiba isn’t cannabis — but it does contain the powerhouse compound Beta-Caryophyllene (BCP), a natural cannabinoid that soothes tissues and supports the body’s systems without any psychoactive effects.
That means no THC, no high, and no risk of failing a drug test.

💧 Why we love it:
• Calms nerves & supports mood
• Promotes healthy cellular function
• Soothes the body & supports clear skin
• Helps maintain gum and mouth health
• May even ease menstrual discomfort

💊 Available as pure oil or easy-to-take softgels — both far more cost-effective than CBD.
Many find Copaiba + Frankincense + Black Pepper (aka “Frank-Co-Pep”) a daily game-changer for overall wellbeing.

✨ Use it internally, topically, or diffused — experiment to see what your body loves most.

Long-time friend and behind-the-scenes helper of Splendiferous, helping at market stalls, tossing around ideas, doing the occasional bit of heavy lifting, showing up with snacks and recovery hydration after a big night 🥂(balance is everything 😅), and even a little babysitting — I’m now officially joining the SplendiCrew for a short stint as the Women’s Circle Facilitator while their regular facilitator, Tammy, takes a well-earned break. 💫

I’ll be holding space for the next couple of months, guiding these beautiful gatherings of reflection, connection and calm. These circles are inclusive, non-denominational, and open to all women — a gentle pause from the noise of daily life.

Our next circle is coming up in October, and spots are limited.
If you’ve been thinking about coming along, now’s the perfect time to join us. 🌙

👉 Book your place here:

Join us for a nurturing and empowering Women’s Circle, a space where women of all ages and backgrounds gather in trust, unity and deep connection. For thousands of years, women have come together in circle to share wisdom and hold space for one another. This timeless tradition continues with Sandi...

Every year, the shelves overflow with plastic pumpkins, fake snow, and foil-wrapped “festivity.”
But this year? We’re burning what no longer serves.
The guilt. The glitter. The obligation to celebrate on someone else’s schedule.

Let’s return to what’s real — the turning of the seasons, the rhythm of the Moon, and the magic that already lives in the land beneath our feet. 🌿
