A natural deodorant spray that actually works? I found one!!! And it’s in the most divine packaging ever. Double tick! Natural deodorants absorb moisture without blocking under arm glands and neutralise body odour by eliminating bacteria. A while I ago, I posted about how I use Black Chicken Remedies – a paste based deodorant and it works great! I still highly recommend it. Since then (and for a long time before), I’ve been on the hunt for a spray version also…
Blueberries are so YUM! Who’s with me? But did you know that blueberries are on the Dirty Dozen list? The Dirty Dozen outlines a current yearly list of fruits and vegetables that are exposed to the greatest number of pesticides and may therefore carry a higher pesticide residue. See my earlier post for more detail. I try my best where I can to always buy organic versions of all items on the dirty dozen list. Fresh organic blueberries are difficult…
I’ve never been a fan of traditional mouth wash. It burns my mouth and it tastes like crap. So admittedly, I never used it regularly … until now. According to health warrior David ‘Avocado’ Wolfe, did you know that most non-organic mouth washes on the market may contain potentially harmful toxins and chemicals such as: ❗️Chlorhexidine ❗️Alcohol ❗️Hexetidine (oraldene) ❗️Methyl Salicylate ❗️Benzalkonium Chloride The above may cause serious conditions with ongoing use: increased blood pressure, serious heart conditions, drying out…
OMG A certified organic fast food chain. Yep, it’s REAL people. Are you like me and have driven around feeling hungry and thought, I’d just love to get some fast food that wasn’t the usual crap? I have … plenty of times … and I kept dreaming as I paid for some soggy Maccas salad option. Enter Oliver’s Real Food. Now, I haven’t had the pleasure of trying Oliver’s yet, as unfortunately, there aren’t any stores located near me yet…
Have you ever considered buying kid’s foods for adults to eat as they have less additives? I recently came across Weet-Bix for Kids once my little Juliet started eating solids. After a closer look, I noticed that the adult version contains salt which isn’t in the kids’ version. I never really understood why salt needed to be added to an adult breakfast cereal. It just doesn’t make sense to me. And whilst I’m not altogether happy either one contains sugar,…
Are you a seafood lover? 🐟 Yep, me too. My mum’s side of the family comes from a small Italian fishing village, so you could say the sea and eating seafood is in our blood. On our recent trip away, we were lucky to enjoy a beautiful seafood platter caught by local fisherman delivered to our door. So yum! They promoted the support of locally-caught fish in their marketing, and being an ex-corporate marketer, I always pay attention to the…
Anyone else sick of being sick with a cold? Or having an entire sick household? Give me a hell yeah!. Around a month ago, my little Juliet came down with an awful cough which turned into a head cold and two weeks of pure hell. Blocked nose, awful heart-wrenching chesty cough and the inability to sleep with tears and more tears. From her (and at times me). Yep, pure hell. 🙄😷. Pre-baby, I had no idea what a nasal aspirator…
Do you pay attention to the messages the universe sends you? Today, I learned the importance of paying attention. Otherwise, I would have missed this gem on my morning walk. It resonates with me as I previously thought wasteful thoughts that didn’t serve me. I didn’t know they were wasteful, but I did a brilliant short course a while back run by Brahma Kumaris who taught me this and so much more. Now I try to choose my thoughts wisely…
Ever asked yourself, what’s in my toothpaste? If you’re like me, for the longest time, I had no idea. I never paid attention to what I was using and just popped some on my toothbrush, and started brushing thinking about my day. Not realising that I was possibly ingesting a range of toxic substances including: ❗️Triclosan – used in many personal care items, which impedes the thyroid gland, is likely to be an endocrine disrupter, may cause reduced fertility, fetal…
How’s your armpit doing? When’s the last time you gave it some love? Odd questions I know, but important ones considering your armpit is home to hundreds of sweat glands that help control your body temperature and work to expel harmful toxins such as cancer cells through lymph nodes from your body through perspiration. There isn’t scientific evidence to back claims that blocking your lymph nodes causes cancer through using chemical-laden deodorants and sprays. I think we can guess why?…
