IN BED

What do you wear to bed?

My favourite is sleepwear from Bodas, a gorgeous ethical UK brand.

How do you dress your bed?

I love white linen sheets from Cultiver.

What is on your nightstand?

Stacks of books, New Yorker magazines, Aesop hand cream, a glass of water and some eye shades, because our room gets pretty sunny early in the summer.Β Β 

Who do you sleep with?

My husband Emile. Our lovely dogs, Banjo and Raffie, sleep next to our bed, especially if there is a thunder storm.Β 

How many hours do you sleep?

I get enough now that our youngest son Cy is 7 years old. Finally we are out of the crazy no-sleep zone!Β 

What time do you wake-up?

I’m an early riser – I love to have a moment to myself first thing in the morning. I wake up at 5.40am and prepare a hot drink, scroll through my emails, and make a to do list for the day.Β Β 

BODY

How do you work out?

I practice yoga, walk our dogs, and have a weekly workout and swim session with my friend at Bondi Icebergs.Β Β 

What is your first drink of the day?

I start with a warm water and lemon, then tea, and that’s followed by sparkling water with ice and lime.

What do you eat for breakfast?

I have a protein-based organic muesli with blueberries and coconut yogurt. I like to start the day with something light as well as nutritious. Weekends are usually eggs or homemade pancakes with the children.

DESK

What is the first thing you do?

I go through my to do list and chat with my colleagues.

What is top of your list?

Usually it’s an email to respond to or a message from one of the weavers in PNG. Among Equals is built around strongΒ communication,Β so it’s generally top of the list.Β Β 

What is your 10am pick-me-up for energy?

A piece of fruit, handful of nuts and a cup of herbal tea.
