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…

Be more of you.

I adore this saying and Wayne Dyer. I’ve watched his movies and listened to his mesmerizing voice meditations over and over. I think I stick with him because he simplifies life for me through his insights. When I heard this quote in his movie, The Shift, (highly recommend!), I thought about how it’s so easy to get stuck in the rat race, doing the same thing, day in, day out. Not living your song. You keep doing it, deep inside…

Sanitarium Weet-Bix for Kids

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,…

Sustainable Seafood – where does your fish come from?

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…

Live your best life now.

Ever been in an earthquake? Neither had we, until a few days ago. And what a crazy, shaky experience it was! It was around 2.30pm on Hamilton Island and I was just finishing up giving Juliet a leisurely late lunch in our 11th floor apartment when everything started shaking. And I mean everything. At first it was a slow rumble and then it built in momentum, to the point that the hanging light shade was swinging side to side and…

doTERRA Easy Air, Tea Tree & Lemon Essential oils – treating colds

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…

Fill your mind with positive lessons

Ever failed at something? I don’t know about you guys, but I have failed heaps of times. But I’ve also tried a lot, too. Relationships, businesses, jobs, friendships, cooking, exercise, smoking, drinking, eating healthy – these are just some of the things I’ve tried, failed at, learnt a lesson from and then tried again. We’re all not perfect, we make mistakes, but the important thing is that we give things a go and always, always look for the lesson. There…

Choose conscious thoughts

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…

Want a soap free shampoo and conditioner?

A soap-free natural shampoo that still lathers?!?! And is good for both us humans, and our pets. 🐶 Well I found a beauty. Interested? Keep reading to find out more, as well as our special offer. We are conditioned to believe that the only way to have clean locks is for our products to lather. Whilst shampoos that lather do clean, the ingredients used to create lather may not be good for us. Shampoo, like many cleansers, is primarily made…

Do you eat the rainbow?

Actually, it couldn’t be further from it. ‘Eat the rainbow’ is a simple way to remind you to eat a wide variety of fruit and vegetables across a range of colours. 🍏🍎🍊🍐🍋🍌🍉🍇🍓🍒🍑🍍🍅🍆🌶🌽🍠 Fruit and vegetables fall into five different colour categories:.
