Turning 49 with Joy: Perimenopause, Garden Dreams & Birthday Treats

Mar 26, 2025

Today is my birthday, I'm now 49 and I'm so happy for it. I'm feeling great, even in the midst of perimenopause, living in a vintage caravan caled Margot (which I'll admit definitely has it's moments and I'm so ready for four walls) in the most beautiful place on the Mid North Coast NSW and planning to build our dream farmhouse on 300 acres. Which has been a BIG life change and one that is swings and roundabouts, laughter and tears, wins and challenges... but today I'm here to share with you a few things that I'm loving right now and what I treated myself for my birthday. 

First up; this past week I have started building my gardens, I scored a free stainless steel water tank from one of our neighbours, hubby cut it into three lovely round garden beds. I'm so bloody excited to be finally building my garden and it's is brining me so much joy, and a lot of strengthening excersie! 

I've bought some fruit trees, seedlings and this cool watering can, I would normally buy the cheap option but I'm so sick of plastic breaking, this one will last a life time! (and it's got a cute vintage vibe, I even bought a matching bucket which I use for the chicken treats)

I also bought a stunning pink dahlia! 🌸 you can check out my garden progress HERE on instagram. 

I just finished reading this book, we read it in our Marigold Membership and it was absolutely LOVED by all!

I bought this for myself for my birthday after coveting it for 2 years! I was not disappointed, it's so lovely and when I opened the parcel I felt so loved and like my purchase truly matters to the small Aussie female owned biz, I even got free tea! I also bought some new yoga pants.

And finally; I saw one of my students inside the Shakti Roadmap with this and I just had to get one myself! (+one for a friend) Which I haven't had time to sink into, but I'm planning on making some time today with a cup of chai. 

That's it for me for another year, I did spoil myself a little but why not, you don't turn 49 everyday! It's worth celebrating 🥳

And because it's my birthday month I'm gifting you a FREE course - Shakti Bloom, grab yours HERE

I'm off now to get kids off to school and then get some gardening and journalling done. 

Much love, Edwina xx
