Improve your skin, hair and nails with this great product!

⁠⁠Ok peeps – I promised to share the details on this one and here it is! ⁠⁠I’ve been using this product for around 3 weeks now. I specifically bought it from Nourished Life to see if it helps with hair growth (ya know that post-baby thinning ), but it’s a bit too soon to see the results of that. Apparently it’s around the 8 week mark where you see the full results of taking the product. I’ll be sure to…

Who loves a chocolate biscuit? Me, Me, Me !!! Now I love a biscuit dunked in my tea, but I haven’t bought mainstream biscuit brands for a while now. Many of them have contained palm oil or vegetable oils and super high levels of sugar which I try to avoid, and frankly ingredient labels on biscuits have SO many ingredients with codes and numbers, at times it’s too overwhelming for me to work out is it healthy or not. So I try…

Pukka Tea

I LOVE drinking tea. Which might sound odd, considering I’m of Italian heritage and coffee is deeply entrenched in our culture and family way of life. I don’t mind coffee occasionally, I just much prefer tea. ⠀ Tea makes me feel relaxed, peaceful, happy, chilled and is perfect shared with a friend. It seems to soothe any conversation and help heal the soul.⠀ I don’t mind what flavour either … which was great considering on my last visit to Healthy…

Eco Store Dishwasher Powder

I have been using traditional dishwasher tablets and gel pouches for a long time now. And hadn’t thought much of it.⠀ Until I read a stat which made me take notice and start thinking more seriously.⠀ “In a 12-month period in Australia, 2072 children were admitted to hospital due to poisoning.” This was due to ingestion of either medicines or household chemicals, including dishwashing tablets which look like lollies in pretty pouches.⠀ With my daughter starting to crawl all over…

Looking for a sugar alternative – try Organic Rice Malt Syrup.

I posted recently about how much added sugar is in our foods. So today’s post is all about one alternative to sugar, particularly when cooking sweets – and my current fave – Organic Rice Malt Syrup! Organic Rice Malt Syrup is a versatile and natural sweetener made from organic brown rice. It is made through culturing rice with enzymes to breakdown the starches and then cooking until it becomes syrup. The final product contains soluble complex carbohydrates, maltose and a…
