Nita Fourie is a firm believer that life is a celebration \u2026 whether it\u2019s a beautiful sunset, a fat full moon, or the first fig of the season. She made a conscious decision to focus on life\u2019s little joys, and now she\u2019s on a mission to help you do the same. Her secret weapon? Lavender!<\/p>\n

For Nita Fourie, lavender isn\u2019t just a plant. It\u2019s an experience. A state of mind. A way of life. It\u2019s mindfulness in a fragrant, purple package. And because she believes that all good things should be shared, she created Purple Posy<\/strong>. A business (and a passion project) that started with selling lavender as cut flowers but quickly blossomed into something much bigger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for her to realise she wasn\u2019t alone in her love affair with lavender. Others were just as captivated by its scent, versatility, and soothing properties as she was. So she expanded her business into a range of wellness products. Think luxurious hand-blended lavender-infused lotions, bath crystals, scrubs, mists, soaps, and powders. But, true to her personality, she knew she wasn\u2019t going to stop at just selling things in a bottle, either.<\/p>\n

She wanted to create a memorable experience \u2026 a full immersion into the world of lavender and the calm it brings. And so she took it a step further and became a certified life coach, specialising in de-stressing and mindfulness. Today she hosts workshops where people can unplug, unwind, and soak up all the lavender-infused goodness while learning how to find their own moments of peace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018My sessions offer an escape into a stress-free zone where guests can simply stay in the moment, relax, laugh and enjoy lavender infused treats and refreshments. All while being surrounded by the beauty of the lovely plant. It is informative, inspiring and thought provoking. Most of all, it is fun.\u2019<\/p>\n

She also digs a bit deeper, helping others with something she is exceptionally passionate about … personal growth.<\/p>\n

\u2018Stress can steal your joy and make it difficult to see the bigger picture. Spending time surrounded by lavender brings calm and connectedness. Then you can focus on what matters to you. And growth just naturally follows.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With about 30 species of lavender worldwide, each with its own variety, it\u2019s no surprise that Nita has her faves, including Lavandula Dentata, Stoechas, and Margaret Roberts Lavender growing on her farm. No wonder she falls in love with the fresh morning air every day when she first opens doors and windows to let the day in.<\/p>\n

Anyone who knows this lovely lavender lady, knows she\u2019s all about authentic connections. Lifelong friendships. Family. And simply being her true self. She\u2019s also big on slowing down (something we all struggle with, let\u2019s be honest). Her advice? Plan for it. \u2018Pick a weekend with no commitments and be strict about it. Defend your own time vigorously. Slowing down really brings perspective and quality to our lives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018For me, the key is mindfulness, which is an awakening to life. It means I try to stay in the moment. It helps to be open to learning more about yourself, other people and the environment. It makes you willing to let go of old labels and think creatively.\u2019<\/p>\n

For Nita it\u2019s quite simple. Live according to your core values, don\u2019t compare yourself to others, and be unapologetically authentic. She\u2019s the kind of person who\u2019s almost always bubbling with new ideas, constantly learning, and keeping up with the latest trends. Which is why you\u2019ll always find a great read or two on her Purple Posy blog. Think love, life, family \u2026 and, of course, the most divine lavender recipes you\u2019ll ever come across. (PS, you\u2019ll want to check out her most recent blog post, Word for the Year).<\/p>\n

Because, as she puts it, \u2018creativity has no limits when you\u2019re working with nature\u2019s gifts.\u2019 And so, she hopes to always keep growing \u2026 becoming better, calmer, kinder, more at peace, more fun, and more interesting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Through it all, her rock has been her husband, Leon. \u2018He\u2019s my anchor. He makes plans, can fix everything and stays calm in a crisis. Together, we\u2019ve raised our two boys, Brenden and Ruan, and Purple Posy has been part of our lives every step of the way.\u2019 From listening to Mom\u2019s endless lavender stories to taste-testing her latest recipes and even drinking lavender tea, the Fourie family is as close as they come.<\/p>\n

\u2018To find joy in the simplest things is precious. Surviving the day is worth celebrating. And you can do it by listening to beautiful music, calling a loved one, or baking a cake. The more you look for reasons to celebrate, the more gratitude you\u2019ll feel. And gratitude shifts your entire focus to the positive.<\/p>\n

Of course, life isn\u2019t always easy. But that\u2019s exactly why Nita believes in making every moment count. \u2018We all leave something behind. What do you want to be remembered for \u2026 as a parent, a friend, a woman or as a person with a specific life purpose?\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So go ahead \u2026 pop the bubbles, breathe in the lavender, shake off the stress, and live with intention. Life\u2019s too short not to celebrate the little things.<\/p>\n
