Evergreen Studio is my space dedicated to promoting wellness through creative and wellbeing workshops, a passion of mine. Today, however, as a mum of three children, one who is 13 years old this year, I want to use this platform to support a campaign that focuses on the wellbeing of young teens and a campaign that I fully endorse: .com.au This campaign aims to persuade our government to raise the minimum age for social media citizenship from 13 to 16 years of age.

When I was 13 I had a mouth full of metal braces, when all my peers had the clear ones. My family had recently upped and moved from Melbourne to Queensland. Transitioning from childhood where everything was so familiar, to my awkward early teens in a whole new state with a new school wasn’t easy. THANK GOODNESS I didn’t have social media to deal with on top of that!

Whilst social networking has been a big part of my business and staying connected with friends and family, there are way too many layers to social media that aren’t so good. In fact it can be extremely dangerous, particularly for young people and the data linking mental health issues in youth to when most of our regular social media platforms were launched around 2010 is alarming. (Listen to Podcast ‘Your Undivided Attention’)

If you agree with me and would like to see the age changed from 13 years to 16 years, a change of 36 months, please head to 36months.com.au If you’d like to get behind this campaign please share the above tile and a photo of you when you were 13.

Thanks for listening,

Let’s take a moment to admire this stunning cake by Cake & Olive! This mini cake is a delightful addition to our bespoke packages at The Foliage Farm. Not only does it look amazing, but the flavors are equally exquisite—choose from options such as Pistachio, Rosewater & Lime, or their signature Lemon cake, with fillings like Fingerlime Popping Buttercream or White Chocolate Ganache, to name a few. Absolute perfection! ✨

Practicing what I preach and taking some time out between selling our bunches of gum to make my own wreaths with some of the left over foliage this morning. So therapeutic!
I hope you can find some time today to sit and do something creative for yourself too. Trust me, your nervous system will thank you for it ✨

Big thanks to our lovely customers and friends who popped in pick up their Christmas eucalyptus bunches! Forever grateful for the support of so many this year who have kept our little business ticking! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a fabulous year ahead! Remember to take the time for yourself to do what you love, that’s important 🤎
