At Ovae we love to travel and we’ve been lucky to spend time in lots of interesting places. Jackie and I got together over a few wines and the conversation turned to India travel stories. We thought this could make a great blog, so we poured more wine, and got chatting…

Do you ever wonder ‘who made my bag?’ We don’t blame you. Which is why this month we are taking you behind-the-scenes to introduce you to some of the skilled people whose hands and hard work are instrumental in bringing your favourite Ovae creations to you.

A few weeks ago we talked all things mindfulness from the perspective of the father of mindfulness, Thich Nhat Hanh. But we couldn’t stop there. Thich Nhat Hanh has so much wisdom we couldn’t do it justice in just one post, so here are eight of our favourite life lessons by Thich Nhat Hanh. 

The word mindfulness has had a bit of a workout of late. So we thought we would give you (and us!) a crash course in mindfulness and why this simple little concept is all you need to find happiness and peace in your life.

Who better to focus on than the teachings of the father of mindfulness Thich Nhat Hanh (pronounced “Tik N’yat Harn”).

We are really excited to be attending The Peninsula Picnic again this year. Believe us, this festival is So. Much. Friggin’. Fun!

We caught up with the team behind the event for everything you need to know about the day.

The year is underway. People are tanned, New Year resolutions have been made (and broken), and kids are back to school while parents across the country can be heard breathing a collective sigh of relief.
