Luxurious Hand Balm
Dry hands from so much hand washing? Me too! And that's just at home, not to mention at the hospital!
Eat more fruit and vegetables to improve your gut microbiome
So you all know you need to eat your veggies to be 'healthy' right? But WHY? What is actually going on in our bodies that it leading to good health and what does that actually look like on a day to day basis?
What ingredients to avoid in lip balm and a lush Peppermint Lip Balm recipe
Many common lip products struggle to prioritize health and quality over cheap and easy ingredients. Sure, the occasional rose oil or honey extract sounds great in a lip balm - but this is pure 'green washing'- as they’re normally just a featured ingredient. If you stop to read the full ingredient list, you will likely be disappointed by what you find. So what do you need to look out for?
Bentonite Clay Face Mask
I've been working through a DIY Christmas Present series on Instagram and Facebook and thought I'd share this killer recipe on my website for those of you who would like to make it too.
Moisturising Massage Bars
I learned that the trick to the perfect consistency of a massage bar was: one part hard oil (a butter), one part liquid oil and one part beeswax. It's that simple!
Beginners Guide to Food Prep
One of the common things I work with clients on if they're looking to overhaul their diet and make better food choices for better energy, clearer skin or to drop a few kilos, is food prep. There is an old cliche that if you 'fail to prepare, be prepared to fail' and this is so true when it comes to making food choices that serve you best.
Non toxic winter Chest Rub & Everything Balm
With winter well and truly upon us now, the standard winter viruses have started to spread and it seems no one is immune!
New Year, New You?
2018 was such a transitional year for me. It brought the transition from full-time working nurse with some side hustle, to stay at home Mum. The transition to motherhood has been a complete joy. It has been an answered prayer and a deep desire fulfilled. It has changed me, changed my husband, changed our marriage and even changed how we look at the world.
When my baby wouldn't eat and what this taught me about comparison and mum guilt
A bit of a funny title to a blog post I agree, but I couldn't think of anything else that accurately conveyed what I'm going to write about!
Losing the last 5kg
Just before I launch into this topic, I just want to preface it by saying that I do get a bit 'ranty'.This is an area I'm particularly passionate about, as I see the pursuit to 'lose the last 5kg' robbing people of their joy for life and the freedom to live and be truly happy in their bodies.
Why you need a Health Coach
Have you ever committed to eating better, getting more exercise, or more sleep—only to fall off the wagon a week or two later? I’m betting that 99% of you answered “yes” to that question. Why? Because behavior change is hard. And knowing is not the same as doing.
Things I DON'T do every day
I saw an article recently by a popular blogger on the things she did every day. People seem to be so fascinated by what others do in their day to day (me included! Why is that?!). Anyway, it got me thinking, why don't I share some things about myself so you can learn a bit more about me .... but I thought I'd turn it on it's head share some things I DON'T do.
