A fairies welcome home and birthday movie.

On returning home to Australia this year I was welcomed home by some nearest and dearest at my beautiful forest home. My dear friend Nathalie fairy, who has worked with us at festivals in the UK and who is also mother to my beautiful goddaughter put together this fantastic video of my party and has just sent it to me! What a wonderful surprise! Ever blessed and loving it!
So much gratitude for all my glorious friends all over the world and the love I share with them all. Fairies definitely have more fun! Love love love xxxxx

The bright lights of the stage life.

It’s been an incredible time! Full moon, finishing wings, practise, practise, practise with my hooping routine and so much singing. The weather has been so utterly beautiful! It’s late Autumn in Aussie but the days are just perfect one after the other. I have to get up early to catch the glorious sun because by 1 pm the sun has gone behind the cliff that the waterfall comes over! So my yoga, singing and hooping happen first as I love to do them all in the sun! My discipline has been amazing with it all and that in itself has been a joy. It’s been warm enough that every day is a nude around the garden day so my tan is looking golden!

My debut singing performance and hooping performance was fantastic! It was so wonderful to be involved in the Spaghetti Circus Cabaret night! I have been talking about wanting to perform for so long now and it felt so wonderful to actually do it!  Wooohooo!! There was an amazing feast of performances and I loved the backstage bits as well. I performed first with the Hoopnotists, a hooping dance routine we have been working on for weeks! It was so different doing it in front of lots of people and bright lights.  My routine was by no means faultless but I got into the swing of things. When you mess up in front of all those people  you  just pick up from there and get into it! It was quite a challenge as lots of us hadn’t performed before. A great experience!

After intermission I got into my fairy outfit and covered myself in glitter! It felt really wonderful to be putting on my big wings that I had made especially for the occasion. It really helped with my courage and i wasn’t as nervous as I had thought I would be. I was wonderfully introduced by Belle and then got into my song. It was a song I had written myself and hadn’t sung to anyone before. I was also using a microphone and hadn’t had much experience with those either. The crowd were wonderful and I really enjoyed myself! I have had so much amazing feedback…It was such a big build up with all the practise and I guess just emotionally as it meant so much to me. I was completely exhausted the next day. But now after another week of singing in my magic garden I am ready for my next gig. This weekend I shall be doing 2 songs and my hoop routine at a charity gig…. I’m excited and oh so happy! I am off off and away ladies and gentleman. Dreams do come true x

Wings finished today. http://www.fairylove.com/categories/Fairylove-Fairy-Wings/double-with-antennae-/

Yesterday I was bowled over by the enthusiastic appreciation and positivity that was poured over me as I walked around the local farmers market with my wings and colourful clothes on! It was so so lovely! I got a glow on as I bumped into lots of familiar faces and I am still being so warmly welcomed home.. Folk seem genuinely delighted to have the “original fairy” back in town. It makes me feel so warm and fluffy.

I so love going to the farmers markets every friday. I get amazing organic, seasonal produce from the folk that grow it in our community and there are always so many of the local characters there! It’s quite a social event and I no longer need to go to the supermarkets where i get tempted to buy things I don’t need!

“Stacking” Someone throws hoops onto you one at a time! It’s great fun!

With my full bag of organic fruit and veg and a slice of my favourite  raw chocolate cake I went to my hooping dance class! It was so much fun and such a great workout. We are all getting much better at the routine and we will be performing it together next Friday at the Spaghetti Circus burlesque night! I will also be performing an accapella fairy burlesque song!!! Weeeheeee.. So exciting! All this hooping and singing practice has been amazing for me.  So good for my confidence in getting up and out there.

Awoke early this morning to the most perfect autumn morning! Warm bright sunlight and beautiful clear skies. My lovely friend Marykes was visiting and we had wished for a sunny day as I have been wanting to do some photo’s of fairies under the waterfall rainbows! At 7am you could already see the rainbows playing on the waterfall from my back door! It was heaven. The sun was warm enough that it wasn’t cold and we got some lovely shots! I’m always happy when I can get a fairy photoshoot into a day!

Playing in the rainbows makes me feel so wonderful. I just can’t get enough of it!

Hangin with the fairies.

Javi lives in Amsterdam.

Today I spent some quality time with the HANG FAIRIES. Two lovely lads that came to stay at Wanganui with their beautiful instruments. I always wanted a hang from the first time I heard one! It’s like fairy music. They look like UFO’s and sound divine. It was great to hear the 2 played together.

It was no trouble to convince them both that they would look fabulous in Fairylove tu-tu’s and fairy wings. There was some posing in the garden (my neighbours dad got involved) and then a performance on the verandah! A lovely way to spend the afternoon and I definitely want to see more fella’s in fairy wear! Suits you sir!

Love it! Gabrielle in green hails from San Francisco.

 

We told Des in the middle not to knock it till he tried it!

Rainbow warriors on the super highway, building bridges of love!

 

Yesterday i was very honoured to share some time with an Aboriginal elder called Wiruungga. What a character!

Wiruungga sampling our tasty bush tucker!

He came up to visit with a friend of mine. We all went straight up to the waterfall as the sun was shining! I spent the next hour sitting under a rainbow with rainbow sparkly drops of water falling on me and chatting with Wiruungga about his life, rainbow missions and building bridges of healing and love between cultures.

Wiruungga travels around Australia in a rainbow painted coaster bus. He loves to travel and visit the rainforests, where he collects seeds and things to make jewellery. He visits different Aboriginal communities teaching them about permaculture and bush medicine. Bridging the gaps between the old ways and the western world.  Teaching the communities about gardening and growing foods. He also collects clothing to take into the communities and likened himself to an indigenous Santa Clause. And he really could be too!

It was even more amazing to meet him and hear about his life because my dream is quite similar. My plan is to get a coaster bus and fill it with fairy dress-ups, hula hoops and wing making supplies and spend time in the Aboriginal communities with the kids. I have always pictured the bus to be painted rainbow with sparkles and fairies. Wiruungga said that when I am all ready to get in touch and we could go in rainbow convoy! He can be sharing his wonderful gardening skills and I can be sharing magic, creativity and believing!!! So exciting!

We then came back down to the house and had some wonderful lunch. Wiruungga walked about the land looking for bush medicine. It was really amazing to see what he came back with! Lots of them are considered weeds! One little yellow flower that he showed me is good for the liver and he says he eats them whenever he see’s them. Then there is the blue top, which is prolific here. The flowers of that cooked up in a tea are amazing to prevent ticks getting on you when there is lots of ticks around! It was endless and I loved every minute of it!

I feel like we are kindred spirits he and I. He even has a hula hoop, a really big one and I would love to see him use it!

More evidence that believing works. There i was making wings on a sunny morning and like magic an inspirational fella turned up to get me feeling that my dreams are all coming true and that everything is so possible……..Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xxxxx

Top tips for being a fairy in every day life…

It really helps to start the day in a positive way. A great way to do that is, upon waking think of things that you are thankful for!

Being a fairy in everyday life enhances your days and can give so much to others too. So if you are going out shopping, for lunch or anywhere in public, just take a moment to tell yourself how much more fun it will be with your tu-tu, frilly knickers, any bright colourful dress-ups and of course your wings on. It might not always feel easy (practise makes perfect) but once you get out there you shall be so glad that you made the effort! People will talk to you about why you are dressed up and wearing wings. They will smile or giggle at you and tell you that you have brightened their day! If folk admire your wings you can offer to let them try them on and give them a wish. This is a positive thing to do and is a great spreader of fairy magic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If i don’t really feel like dressing up to go out, I always remind myself that I never regret it and that it always makes me feel great!!

Always carry a little pot of fairy dust or glitter with you as this is a really positive way to interact with people. Kids love it and most grown ups inner fairy will too! You can put a little dusting of glitter on their face and get them to make a wish. This is wonderful because it spreads the magic far and wide. Folk will comment and then say nice things to the wearer of the glitter. If i don’t have my glitter on me I just get folk to touch my wings and make a wish! Such a simple , positive way to spread love and magic and it’s fun and will make you feel great!!!

Brightening another persons day is all part of being a fairy and there is so much magic in it!!

So get your fairy wings and dress-ups on and get out there!!!

Shine on fairies! xxxx

Woweee! I am having the most spectacular days. I feel so extraordinarily blessed.

'Urban fairies'

It has been an amayonaising week. I am really getting into doing all the things that I have dreamed of doing. The things that full time work doesn’t really leave much space for. I guess the time is just right! But I am also proud of manifesting this time for myself…It’s heaven, I am so happy and having so much fun. Surrounded by inspiration and connecting to my roots!

'Urban fairies'

My lovely fairy woofer did a fab job sewing fairy wings and getting stuck into the garden for me. It was lovely to have Ruth around for the week and we did a wonderful Fairylove photoshoot before she left! I am loving the pics so much! I have titled the shoot ‘Urban fairies’ and will be sharing more of the photo’s on our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/FairyLoveFamily

The leeches are out in force!

The leeches are out in force!

It was the first day of no rain for quite some time at Wanganui today! It was lovely! I spent lots of time in the garden weeding and planting things. I am the proud owner of 2 jumping ant bites and any number of leech bites.

Nigel.

I have also been making friends with my house mates. Meet Nigel. He looks quite big but he is actually a baby huntsman and he hangs out in the corner that is my kitchen. He seems to like it when I have music on and when I am singing and hooping!

Then there is Henrietta the lizard! She was in my jacket that I bought down from the loft. I took her back up there when I realised. I am happy to share my house with her.

Henrietta.

 

 

I have been loving my garden salads and my juices, getting more and more out of my own garden. LOVE IT! I am feeling full of health.

Happiness is a full wood pile. Even more so when you have done it all yourself! Such satisfaction! I am a great fairy woodchopper!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fresh wings ready for glitter.

Tomorrow I am doing a wing decorating workshop with 8 kids! I am really looking forward to it and have made all their wings for them so they can get busy with glitters and magic wishes. We are also dressing up. I will take photo’s!

Fairy shower.

The waterfall has been so beautiful! I have gone up a most days and had such cleansing magical showers. There really is nothing else like it! I took 3 girls up yesterday, I love to share it with other folk. They did well considering the amount of leeches clamouring for our blood! (the leeches really aren’t that bad, I actually like them and they have health benefits too! They just take a little getting used to!)

So from Wanagnui my heart expands out and loves you all! Blessings abound and magical gifts are a plenty!

Love love love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fairy Wwoofer!

I have a fairy Wwoofer! Whoop whoop!

She is brilliant! Her name is Ruth and she is English and very scared of spiders!

A triumphant Ruth pixie after hours of weeding!

Wwoofers come to stay with you (on organic farms) and help out on the land for 5-6 hours a day in exchange for accomodation and meals. Ruth is a friend of a friends from the Uk and she is most welcome! Today she cleared the rest of my back garden bed and absolutely went for it! It all looks amazing and she has freed my ginger and blueberries from weeds. There is so much garden here that it could easily be a full time job. It is really wonderful to have someone here helping out in such an enthusiastic fashion. Not only will she be helping me on the land but is excited to be helping out with some fairy wings too! Yipeeee! Friday we are going to a very secret location for a Fairylove photoshoot and I am so very excited!

Ginger grows so easily here!

The weather has been absolutely stunning! Everyday just rolls into another beautiful day in paradise but there is a definite chill in the air tonight!

I have been trying to go to bed earlier and earlier so as I get up earlier and earlier to make my days longer. There is just so much I want to do everyday!

Full moon fasting- out with the old…..

I did my monthly fast/cleanse  yesterday and am feeling fabulous. Ever since I did a 9 day fast in Thailand in October I have been fasting once a month for 1-3 days. It really makes me feel so clear and energy filled! I start the day with a coffee enema and  then drink lots of water.  I then do my yoga and make myself a lovely fruit and veg juice. Throughout the day i drink lots of water. I have a  juice in the morning and one in the evening. I also drink a couple of fresh coconuts (these are my new champagne, delicious!!).  Then before i go to bed i have another enema using chamomile tea. If i feel like i need more than a day i just keep going. When I break my fast I stick with raw foods for as long as i can,which gets easier and easier as that is what i am mostly eating anyhow.

Fasting has given me so much and helped me to make so many positive changes. I have always been a big drinker (since the age of 13). There was lots going on in my life and drinking just made me feel better and more fun!  I was always the party girl and I loved to indulge in anything that felt or tasted great! I have given up the alcohol almost completely ( I have had the occasional glass of red but not very recently) and don’t hanker after it at all. I have given up all caffeine and stimulants (apart from the occasional raw chocolate) and I have absolutely no dairy in my life! I have stayed away from wheat and sugar and processed foods for a long time but find I am even better at staying away from them now! I am feeling sooooooooo much better on so many levels, clearer, healthier, more energy, more positive, more motivated to exercise…It really is incredible!

I find also that I love talking about this stuff and folk are really interested in hearing about it. Enema’s and fasting, food combining and raw food. So this fairy has still got the party girl in her but is learning to do it on a whole ‘nother level! I have been out dancing lots in the last few weeks and I just drink lots of water and I am loving dancing and sweating so much, completely addicted! Did you know that “Few activities stimulate as wide a variety of brain systems as dancing does“.

A friend told me that her father always said that routine is best with the occasional orgy thrown in! It’s so true. All my healthy routines feel fantastic and then every now and then I will just go for it with yummy raw cakes or just let myself have something that i feel like but “is not good for me”. Then i am more than happy to go back to my routine of health and discipline.

I have definitley got my glow on!!!!!
