My Story

Hi, I’m Karen, the Melbourne-based founder of Lifestyle Nook. And this is Murphy, my 3 year old French bulldog (well in this picture he was a 3 month old puppy!) and self-appointed break supervisor.

After retiring from the social housing sector, I wanted to keep learning and try something of my own. It turns out my curiosity had no plans to retire! Lifestyle Nook grew from that curiosity into a collection of practical products and printable resources to make everyday life a little easier.

From travel essentials and home organisation to mindful colouring and local travel guides, I’m drawn to things that help us get organised, enjoy a creative moment and make room for what we love.

Living with autoimmune challenges has taught me to appreciate simpler routines and time to recharge. That’s the thinking behind Lifestyle Nook: small, useful changes that fit into real life.

Murphy watches me work, but he has his own ideas about priorities. When it’s time to throw a ball, he puts it right on my keyboard. It’s hard to argue with a reminder like that!

Thank you for supporting my small business. I hope you find something here that brings a little more organisation and joy to your day.

Karen
Founder, Lifestyle Nook
