The C word

Daily ritual you swear by to maintain physical and emotional wellbeing?

We both read for at least half an hour in bed before we go to sleep. We started this about 5 years ago to try and calm down a little before bed and it worked a treat! We both take our books everywhere with us and even if it's late and we’re staying at a friends after a party, we’ll whip the books out for a quick read before falling asleep.

 

What are you currently working on (personal or professional)? 

We’re currently working on a new Australian Native Tree Planting project in WA. We can’t wait to share more. 

 

Why did you decide to partner with WFG? 

We love partnering with other like-minded businesses that are pushing the fashion industry in a positive direction.
