Telstra Business Awards 2017

Vegan Sparkles — Thu, 13 Jul 2017 02:23:12 +0000

It was such an incredible honour to be recognised as one of WA’s top 6 new businesses at the 2017 Telstra Business Awards last weekend!

When I think back to three years ago, and how scared I was to share the story of my drinking. How it was impacting me, not just physically but emotionally, I never could have dreamt it would lead us to this night. Filled with inspiring journeys and innovations, we were truly humbled to be a part of it.

We’re so grateful to Telstra Business Awards for this amazing opportunity (and accolade!), and for providing a platform for new and small businesses to share their stories.

And to YOU guys, for all your gorgeous messages of love and support! They inspire us every day to keep doing this work in the world. And to every single one of our beautiful community for making up the magic that is Sexy Sobriety. It felt incredible to be representing my sober sisters, and smashing the stigma! This one’s for you, angels!

We’re so excited about the future of Sexy Sobriety, and can’t wait to see where this adventure leads us next! x

A Happier Hour

Vegan Sparkles — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 06:12:05 +0000

You know how you used to dream of what you wanted to be when you grew up? From the second I discovered books, I only ever wanted to be an Author.

I remember when I was 3 or 4, I’d drive my parents crazy, constantly asking, “What does THAT say?” as I pointed to the street signs we drove past.

In my first week of school, I cried in frustration because, “WHYYY can’t I read yet?!”

Once I got the hang of that reading stuff, man, there was no stopping me! While all the other girls were on the netball courts, I was tucked up in a corner of the library. I totally geeked out whenever a Readathon was announced, and thought Librarians had the coolest job in the world (second only to Authors, of course).

In High School, I convinced my girlfriends to co-write stories with me and spent hours drafting plot outlines and drawing covers with our names on them. I wrote poetry in every spare moment and was only ever on time for English Literature class.

But to me, that magical career – Author – was something that only special people got to do. In my mind, it was so completely pie-in-the-sky, it was up there with prima ballerina and rocket scientist.

Well, I’m here to tell you that just about anything is possible if you put your mind to it, ladylove! Two and a half years ago, if you’d told me I’d be sober and a published author, I would have fallen on the floor laughing.

And yet, here I am.

What if our greatest flaw turns out to be our greatest gift?

What if the challenges we face in life teach us about trust, tenacity, and love, so that our heart’s every dream can come true?

I hope you enjoy the book, beautiful. I thought of you as I wrote every single page. ❤️

IT’S FINALLY HERE! Shimmy over to BexWeller.com to order your copy. x

Perth Peace Expo 2016

Vegan Sparkles — Thu, 09 Jun 2016 02:21:39 +0000

When Alex Green discovered out that there were no vegan events scheduled for Perth in 2016, she set about changing that! She promptly organised the inaugural Perth PEACE Expo. An informative and fundraising event for all the family, promoting ethical alternatives and compassionate eating in an exciting, interactive and inclusive environment.

You guys know how much I adore a good vegan festival. So I was thrilled and honoured when she invited me to be a guest speaker.

I’ll be on stage at 12:45pm, sharing the story of how my decision to follow a vegan lifestyle was the catalyst for huge change in my life – and how it led to me coaching hundreds of women worldwide. Plus, how to feel amazing on a plant-based diet, why food is not the most important element when it comes to sparkling with vitality (and what is), and some simple ways we can all feel fabulous!

I’ll also have the honour of sharing the stage with some incredibly inspiring humans, including Dr Alyce Churchill from Plant Based Easy, James Aspey from Voiceless 365, Raya Higgs from Finding Vegan, Dr Peter Dingle, Chris Lindgren from Sea Shepherd, Katrina Love from The Animal Justice Party, and a special satellite session with Dr Will Tuttle, Author of The World Peace Diet.

Plus, you’ll find me there doing a special book signing (with copies available for purchase) before and after my talk.

If you’re in town, come along, beautiful! I’d love to see your friendly face, and with more stallholders snapping up their spots every week, there’ll be a ton of delicious food (and by that, I mean vegan cupcakes) for us to munch on!

Sexy Sobriety

Vegan Sparkles — Wed, 03 Sep 2014 08:54:01 +0000

Well, I never saw this coming. Isn’t this Universe just the funniest thing?

Six months ago I was hiding wine bottles and binge drinking almost every weekend.

At 39 years of age – and a Health Coach, no less – I should have known better. But drinking doesn’t work like that, does it? It’s a sneaky little monster that creeps up day-by-day until it steals your self-worth and happiness.

Six months ago, on one of ‘those’ mornings filled with sobbing and regret, I decided to conduct a sassy, soulful experiment. An experiment that changed my life.

I cleaned up my act, did a ton of inner work, embraced sobriety, and somehow found the courage to share all the gory details with you:

And because this Universe of ours has a wicked sense of humour, it double-dared me when a journalist asked me to share my story on the largest mainstream media platform in the country.

I’m still standing, baby. And best of all, my darkest hours have inspired a soulful new direction. I’m so excited to announce that I’m now hard at work creating the membership site and resource I wish I had during the first 30 days.

For all my beauties out there who might be struggling with the same battles and demons, this is for you, angel. You are loved, and you are not alone.

:: Interviews + inspiration from kick-ass babes who wouldn’t be where they are now if they hadn’t ditched the drink.

:: Elixirs + desserts to tease your tastebuds and keep your mouth deliciously occupied.

:: Stories + journals for deep reflection and getting your head straight.

Sparkle Challenge July

Vegan Sparkles — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 02:41:16 +0000

Hey Beautiful,

Do you often find yourself eating the same thing over and over?

It’s so easy to fall into a rut when it comes to our food. We stick with what we know because it’s convenient. There’s just one problem. We get bored! And when we’re bored, it’s oh-so easy to find ourselves elbow-deep in the cookie jar…

Never fear, gorgeous! I’ve got you covered for every day in July with the all-new (and free) #SparkleChallenge.

It’s a month of daily ingredient/theme prompts to help you see your meals with fresh eyes, and spark creativity in the kitchen.

Print out the calendar and tape it to your pantry door, or save it to your phone.

Here’s how it works:

1. No rules, all fun! Play for just one day or all 31.

2. Let the daily prompt inspire you to shake things up in the kitchen. Not a fan of that day’s ingredient/theme? Get creative, baby! Use something similar.

3. Shine a light into the back of your pantry. What’s hiding in there that you could use up?

4. Take a daily pic and share on Instagram (or anywhere you like, really!) using #SparkleChallenge.

5. Notice how sparkly you feel when you eat a wider range of healthy, whole foods!

6. Be generous with your high-fives and encouragement of your fellow Sparkle Challenge pals. Share the inspiration and love of healthy food. ♥

I can’t wait to see you sparkling through July, gorgeous!

The Sparkle Project is Coming!

Vegan Sparkles — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 06:30:27 +0000

On the surface? It’s about clean eating, losing weight, and having more energy.

But really? It’s about a complete shift. A body and mind make-over. Getting your glow on, from the inside out.

It’s designed for women who want serious support and guidance to launch them into healthier habits — women who struggle to do it on their own.

By the end of the program, you’ll understand how to …

: reinvent the way you eat, drink and think
: free yourself from the diet/calorie trap – for good!
: whip up healthy, delicious meals in minutes
: truly nourish yourself, in every sense of the word

And best of all, you’ll have the experience of being supported by a loving community of like-minded women, and being heard by someone who really, truly gets you.

Grab your bathroom scales and get ready to throw them out the window.

Registration is now closed.

Sydney Raw Chocolate Workshop

Vegan Sparkles — Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:07:30 +0000

WOW, you Sydney-siders sure have some cool venues in town!

The new Work-Shop in Chippendale hosts a range of creative classes and workshops to help you unleash your inner awesome. Bright and funky, it was the perfect place for me to teach a Raw Chocolate Workshop a couple of weeks ago.

Sixteen beautiful souls came along to the hands-on class to get better acquainted with the process of raw chocolate making. After a quick talk about all the health benefits of raw chocolate, we unleashed the messy, delicious fun!

With an assortment of flavour creations (including coconut, goji berry, chilli, sea salt, vanilla, peppermint and peanut) and a ton of giggles, it was the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Perth ‘Spring into Wellness’ Event

Vegan Sparkles — Sun, 08 Sep 2013 12:50:12 +0000

Wow, what a beautiful morning we had yesterday and what a gorgeous group of women!

The Ausdance studios on King Street was the perfect venue to celebrate the start of a new season and shake off those winter blues.

Donna and Kate, the gorgeous and super-talented Yoga Vine babes, guided us through an amazing Spring yoga session to stretch out our sleepy winter bods, complete with fun moves and plenty of giggles.

We topped the work-out with a little bliss time in the form of a mini meditation session that left us all smiles.

With the limbs taken care of, it was time to show our tummies some love. Choc Mint SuperSmoothies and raw fudge reminded our taste buds just how tasty healthy can be.

A huge thank you to Eco Foods for providing the incredibly delicious raw cacao powder for our demo.

Thank you also to Power Super Foods and Bliss Candles for providing gorgeous treats for the Goodie Bags, and Roar Superfoods for providing such a beautiful door prize in the form of a free ticket to their upcoming raw chocolate workshop. The winner (Maddie) was thrilled to bits! ♥

But most of all, a huge thank you to the gorgeous babes who came along and made this such a special event. ♥

Wishing you all incredible health and happiness. xx

Raw Chocolate Workshop, Sydney

Vegan Sparkles — Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:41:39 +0000

It’s true! Cacao (chocolate in its raw state) can have powerful health benefits.

It’s chock full of antioxidants (protecting the body from ageing and disease caused by free radicals), loaded with vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, E, and boasts high levels of essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium and manganese. It can also boost energy levels and levels of endorphins and serotonin in the brain, helping to improve our mood.

Oh, and did we mention it’s delicious?

In this fun and informative workshop, you’ll receive hands-on experience making your own raw chocolate to take home. You’ll learn how easy it is to design your own flavours and even how to ‘hide’ additional superfoods inside your chocolate to really make your health sparkle!

When:

Saturday 5th October, 11am – 1pm

Where:

Work-Shop, 86 Broadway, Chippendale, Sydney

What to Bring:

A container to carry your chocolate creations home in

Limited Tickets Available!
