Sometimes, a few words can change everything.
I read something that a Perth life coach had said and it made me stop in my tracks and re-think the way I looked at life.
Jennifer Atkins, a Perth life coach and corporate coach, said that it we shouldn’t simply say that we are going to ‘TRY’ something, but rather we need to say that we’ll ‘DO’ it. There’s a huge difference between trying (which gives people a way out if it doesn’t work – they simply say that they tried) whereas if you say you’ll “DO” something, you actually commit to action. And she says change is all about committing thoughts to action, which is probably why she is such a popular and effective mind and body coach.
Her business, Jenesismindandbody, is all about providing people with the most effective life improvement methods techniques for achieving optimum results in minimum time. Her job is life coaching for real and lasting change, and empowering people to set and achieve goals – and this could be anything from quitting smoking, relationships, career moves to losing weight etc. And if we really think about her word in the context of making a change – like losing weight – it’s much easier to say that we’ll try and lose a few kilos than the more emphatic and definite commitment that we WILL lose a few kilos.
But it was her sentiments about ‘trying’ and ‘doing’ that really got me going – and made me realise that Jennifer Atkins was a Perth life coach who stood out from the rest.

There’s something about airports that brings out intense emotions. Perhaps it’s the tearful goodbyes, the emotional reunions, the anger at lost luggage, the joy at finding a loved one – even strangers have been seen to shed a tear when they’re exposed to the feelings of other strangers. It’s a close, intense environment with raw emotions. And in amongst all the emotions - some of my most memorable ‘airport’ moments have been when I’ve seen fresh flowers being given – or being received. It added another layer of emotion – another dimension – that made the situation even more poignant.
Airport florist, Perth is ideally situated close to the airport and this close proximity makes them an ideal choice when it comes to regional flower deliveries. So if you’ve got a big moment coming up at the airport – a friend or family member returning from a trip after a long time, a greeting with a fresh flower arrangement will make the homecoming even more special. Perhaps you want to give a special welcome to a stranger to your city – and flowers will add that personal welcoming touch. Even if you’re saying goodbye to someone, a parting gift of flowers could be the enduring memory of your time together.
Whatever the occasion, airport flowers make those airport ’moments’ extra special. And for fresh flower ideas for that special moment, Perth florist, Airport Florist, has all the answers.

We drove past a wedding party over the weekend where a bunch of flowers was getting married to a handsome groom. That’s what it looked like anyway – the bride’s wedding flowers were SO enormous that they dwarfed the rest of her and it was hard to see anything except the garden that she held in her hands.
I’d never really thought about wedding bouquets in terms of their proportions – I’d always thought about just having your favourite flowers. When I got married, I wanted roses and clematis in a trailing bouquet – and now that I look back on it, it was plain luck that it worked really well with my dress and my body shape – it was nothing to do with any foresight or planning! There are so many options for bouquets – from the traditional trailing one, tightly packed balls of buds, loose hand-held bunches, baskets of flowers etc – but best to plan things, not rely on lady luck.
So when I saw the bride yesterday with her wedding flowers, I realised how important it is to make sure that everything is in proportion and that your beautiful wedding dress isn’t overshadowed by an oversized bouquet. Most florists should offer good advice on what to do and what works well etc – I know Urban Flowers of Perth, wedding flower specialists, have really good ideas on wedding bouquets and it’s always a good idea for brides to take photos, or sketches of their dress to the florist so that they can make informed suggestions.
After all, the emphasis should be on the ‘BIG’ day, not big flowers !

Larger busted ladies – relax. It seems that Perth swimwear retailer, Viva Swim, has hit the jackpot when it comes to designing swimwear for women with ample assets.
And no – there’s nothing ‘orthopaedic’ about this swimwear – it’s stylish, funky, fun, fashionable and fabulous – but it ALSO gives support, comfort and coverage in all the right places. Swimwear for the larger busted woman is often at the back of the rack (if it’s there at all), matronly and serviceable – not a good look for the beach, the pool or just for feeling good about yourself. This swimwear is designed like a bra – proper wire support, straps etc. and then there’s the very clever idea of a swim top over that (a ruched top, halter top with a good cleavage reveal, tankini, cross over top)…LOTS of choices, and all with a matching swim pant, also with great detailing.
It’s also chlorine-resistant swimwear, so the fabric gives great support and lasts for ages without drooping, sagging or fading. The colours are great too, and because the styles can be mixed and matched, there’s the option of a patterned top with a solid colour on the bottom (great for minimising a larger bust). It’s all on the website, so you can browse through from the comfort of your own home and make an informed choice.
The swimwear has been designed with real women in mind – not waifs – and takes cognisance of how to optimise women’s good bits and play down the ‘not-so-good’ bits. It’s great swimwear, Perth designed and manufactured, and has given thousands of women the confidence to strut their stuff on the beach and around the pool.

When I cleaned up my computer a while ago, I saw that my partner had been visiting a few lingerie websites and I was a bit taken aback. Not that I minded, it was just that he hadn’t said anything and so I didn’t want to make something out of nothing, so I just left it. Let sleeping dogs lie, as they say. Anyway, time went on and life went on – with one of the highlights being a weekend away in celebration of our wedding anniversary.
We went to the most gorgeous place, very peaceful and romantic and it was wonderful to spend quality time together. In conversation, we were chatting about what we thought made our relationship special, and one of the things that we agreed was a strong point was our ability to keep things spicy and interesting. It was only later that evening when he gave me a beautifully wrapped giftbox, in which was the most stunning set of new lingerie that I realised what he’d been up to! Talk about keeping things interesting !
Anyway, I discovered that he had been shopping online for this lingerie as he wouldn’t be seen dead in an actual lingerie store – and he’d been able to find the perfect gift without having to lift a finger – actually, that was ALL he had to do! It was so gorgeous, lots of lace, ribbon and satin and it made me feel very special. Now I’m just looking forward to Valentine’s Day, because I’ve got my eye on some special lingerie which will be just PERFECT for that most romantic of days!

The pursuit of happiness is the subject of endless debate. How do we define happiness? Surely it can’t mean the same for you as it does for me? But when I read an article about a Perth life coach, Jennifer Atkins of Jenesis Mind & Body, in which she said what really creates happiness in your life is being true to yourself, that really struck a chord with me.
She wasn’t trying to dictate what happiness meant or how we should go about things… all she said was that by being true to ourselves, we are seeking out our own journey, our own path and creating something from within. I really though that was meaningful. In my view, she’s chosen the right profession as a life coach because she’ has the right approach to inspire others to achieve their goals.
In her view, life coaching is like having a personal trainer for your mind and I really liked the sound of that. A life coach can work with anyone - business people, parents, entrepreneurs and ordinary people like myself – who simply want to get more out of life. So roll on 2010, a new year, a new attitude, some new goals and a new Perth life coach!

If only flowers lasted forever…. but then I guess they wouldn’t be so special. Perhaps it’s because their beauty is so short-lived that they are extra appealing. Whatever… all I know is that flowers are my most favourite thing to give – and to get. But times are tough these days, and I for one, am always looking for little ways of streeeeeeetching my dollars ! So when my friend was in hospital for an op, I wanted to send her something that would cheer her up, but that wouldn’t make me feel sick from the cost of it ! So I went trawling the net for a florist which had something a little bit different, and I was really excited to find Ennis Flowers in Perth because they do amazing hampers and flower arrangements for really good prices. The best bit was that they also do combinations of flowers and gifts, so that when the flowers are gone (and we all know that’s always too quickly !), there is something else to look forward to. So I sent my friend a stunning flower arrangement which included some special soap and candles which will really light up her life when she recovers. This Perth florist had some other great ideas for baby gifts, hampers for men, weddings etc., so I’ll definitely be using them again when I’m wanting good value, but something really special too.
