My relationship with my body has changed. I used to consider it as a servant who should obey, function, give pleasure. In sickness, you realise that you are not the boss. It is the other way around. / Federico Fellini /

How many of us have experienced this? We push our bodies to their limits. We think we are indestructible. We think we are eternal. The reality is that our bodies can only take so much. Drinking, smoking, poor food choices, stress, exposure to toxins, strenuous physical activity, lack of sleep…these all contribute to our bodies eventually screaming out. “STOP” Much like Federico Fellini, my relationship with my body has changed. I have absolutely pushed my body beyond it’s limits, and…

Mukti Botanique Deoderant

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…

Divine by Therese Kerr – Fresh Breath Mouth Spray & Mouth Rinse

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…

Deodorant Paste, Armpits and Axilla

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?…

Zen your pantry – #pantrydump challenge

Does your pantry look like this? Mine doesn’t yet, but it’s what I’ve been striving for. Years ago, during a gym assessment, my personal trainer made one statement which stuck in my mind, “If you want to come to the gym to get fit, you need to start from the inside out. At home, look in your pantry and dump anything that is in a packet that has ingredients you don’t recognise or can’t pronounce”. This has stuck with me,…

Soothe your babies bottom with Aromababy Barrier Balm

When I had a baby recently, I became even more conscious about what products I would use on my precious little one to get her started in life in the healthiest possibly way. There is a plethora of baby products on the market, especially for nappy creams; many of them chemically based – containing Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Linalyl Acetate to name a few. The MSDS’ (material safety data sheets) for these ingredients state to varying degrees that…

The Dirty Dozen

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. The Environmental Working Group, a US health and environmental research organisation, undertakes the research and creation of the list, and its analysis of these foods found that by using the lists as a guideline, consumers could potentially reduce pesticide exposure by almost 90 percent. Pesticide residue load has been implicated in…
