Faded Hearts

As girls, sometimes we like pretty things, sometimes we like gritty things... sometimes we don't know what we like - and we like that! What we always like though, is great quality, value & service. And that's what FADED HEARTS aims to always deliver.

Pumpkin Soup

It was a little cooler this week and I had a little time on my hands and decided to make some pumpkin soup. I have no idea why I don't do it more often it's that easy and healthy. 

Ingredients:

• 1kg Pumpkin (I cheated a bought pre cut and skinned) 

 • 1 medium onion sliced 

• 2 cloves garlic 

• 3 cups of chicken stock, you can use veggie if you like 

• 1 cup of milk 

 • Salt and pepper 

 Method: 

• Pop all ingredients into a pot and boil until soft. 

 • Grab that stick blender and do your magic. I like mine a little chunky but if you like it super smooth go for it. Add your salt & pepper to taste. 

 • Now you're ready to serve, you can add a little cream or yoghurt if that's your jam as well, but I think it turns out creamy enough.

Our wedding

We are so very lucky to have the most amazing friends anyone could ever possibly dream of having. One of my best friends is the most ridiculously talented people to walk the earth. She has cemented a solid career as a professional dancer, photographer, make up artist and now a fitness instructor all the while living in the most romantic city in the world - Paris.

We wanted Di to enjoy our wedding and not have to work and think she had to photograph the event. However she did capture some beautiful moments and she has shared them here on her blog. Have a little look at our day, but more importantly check out her beautiful work you will not be disappointed.

Get Fit With Xtend Barre

As some of you may know and for those who don’t, my background way before fashion was the dancing world. Yes I was one of those little girls who grew up doing ballet, who then went on to own her own performing arts school and then furthered my career travelling overseas to learn and work with some of the best in the industry.

I’ve only recently taken a little break from teaching, but I couldn’t give it up all together. You see I’ve found a new passion that blends ballet, Pilates and my love of fitness, Xtend Barre.

By now there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ve heard of the latest fitness craze barre, but you haven’t tried barre until you do an Xtend Barre class.

I’ve tried a lot of different workouts over the years, and I have to be honest when I went to my first Xtend Barre class I was a little doubtful. I didn’t think it would be the workout that I was looking for at the time. How wrong I was. My heart rate was pumping, thighs and arms were burning and that was within the first 5mins. That’s when my mind started racing (like it does) and I thought I have to spread to word about this amazing workout and become and instructor.

I’m a pretty passionate person when it comes to finding workouts that are designed for women’s bodies. I’ve always loved Pilates and the benefits it has. Now that we can fuse ballet and Pilates together, women’s bodies are becoming more defined with longer leaner muscles and stronger cores so we can look after our backs.

If you feel like you need a little challenge and want to mix up your fitness routine, why not give Xtend Barre a go. You never know you might be come as addicted as me.
