Kid Kulture
This month it’s all about the kids. How to love them. How to raise them to be good humans, healthy and happy. How to survive school holidays without driving yourself insane. How looking after yourself first is sometimes the best thing for them. We will be sharing school holiday ideas, tips and activities. Along with some healthy ‘kid friendly’ recipes and ideas of how you can empower your children to take control of their own health at any age. So before you start sobbing into your pillow and sculling copious amounts of red wine, as we launch into the first round of school holidays for 2019, be sure to subscribe…

We Are Live!
It’s the 1st of February and I am excited. After 9 years of collecting bras and 3 years of study, today we launch the next phase of our Social Responsibility campaign, taking us one step closer to breaking the world record of the ‘world’s longest bra chain’ and achieving all our aligned, strategic objectives. To those that have been donating bras and following our journey over the past 9 years… THANK YOU!

A bra and a buck can make a difference
So momentum is picking up, here at MY LIFE. MY STYLE. HQ, with our 2nd and final (as we will be successful this time) attempt of the ‘World’s Longest Bra Chain’ world record. More and more businesses are coming on board to collect bras, becoming OFFICIAL DROP OFF POINTS. Lots of love sharing via social media, which is spreading the word like wild fire! And even businesses offering to support through the donation of services, to help us get across the line.

Creating a ‘Circular Economy’
As I move forward with my second, and final, attempt of the world I am making a concerted effort to do so with not only focus, but a very clear vision, a new mission and most importantly strategic initiatives that will see sure that the massive amount of effort, time and resources put into this project are maximised to their fullest potential. Strategic Initiative no. 4 – To create a Circular Economy is not a new strategy for the project, I have always had the intention of ‘repurposing’ the bras after we break the world record, however, my recent undertaking to achieve my MBA and the research and conversations that…
2017 Spring Clothing Exchange // That’s a wrap!
What a fun afternoon the inaugural 2017 Spring Clothing Exchange turned out to be. What started out as a quirky event for people to come along and drop off their old bras, for the world record attempt, has now morphed into its own strategic initiative within the world record project. Before I began planning this event I had never heard of ‘circular economies’ before. I have obviously heard of recycling, repurposing and re-using items, clothing etc but the more I planned, the more I researched and the more I spoke to people the more I have learned about the world of ‘circular economies’ and the more I am hooked!…
Time to Spring Clean the closets ladies!
Not sure what to bring to the Spring Clothing Exchange??? It doesn’t have to be JUST the labels I’ve listed… think more price range. So maybe not your Chanel, as you may not get a fair exchange. Here are a few suggestions, of items you could bring along…as long as they are in good condition still, they will be welcome. 1. Race day dresses (can’t be seen wearing them more than once or twice) 2. Formal dresses and bridesmaid dresses (or these) 3. Corporate wear, if you’ve changed professions and now have a uniform 4. If you’ve lost weight or maybe enjoyed winter a little too much…
