A little of what I was loving in October HEALTHY Loving Earth Raw Chocolate I don’t eat chocolate too often these days (I like it, it unfortunately doesn’t like me much).  I can seem to get away with a little taster here and there but if I have too much or too often, my stomach […]

Here are a few things I was loving in September: HEALTHY Bone Broth from Alchemy Juice As the weather is changing to being a bit chilly, I’m craving warming foods.  Bone broth is like a warm hug in a mug and it’s so nutritious – loads of health benefits.  It’s pretty easy to make but […]

Tips For Switching To Natural Beauty Products

Over the last few years I’ve put a lot of emphasis on cleaning up my diet, trying my best to avoid processed foods and pesticide exposure by choosing organic whole foods when possible.

August Favourites

HEALTHY Viridian Sports Electrolyte Fix During and following my Clear Passage therapy I’ve been instructed to drink isotonic sports drinks to help with oedema and to replenish my electrolytes.  The only thing is that a lot of those sports drinks are full of sugar which I hated drinking because of the high sugar and they […]

The Non-Deprivation Way to Detox (you can eat food!)

Food-based Detox

I’d hazard a guess and say that this is the most popular time of year for juice cleanses and detox programmes.  After weeks of over-indulgence in rich and sugar-laden foods and drinks over the Christmas season, people are gung-ho about ‘cleaning up their act’, getting ‘back on the band wagon’ and repenting for their sins.

10 Tips for Maintaining a Healthy, Happy, Glow Over Christmas and Into the New Year

It’s quite ironic that the holidays are probably the time of year that you most want to feel and look your best but they can end up being a minefield of health woes due to stress, overwhelm, overindulgence, party hangovers and colds and flus. It’s almost an unspoken rule that come December you have to […]

How Kindness Can Give You A Healthy Happy Glow

Kindness

Tomorrow, Friday 13th November (unlucky for some!) is World Kindness Day!  How cool is that?  Really every day should be world kindness day but I don’t think people give it much thought so it’s really good that there’s a day to highlight the benefits of kindness and to remind people why we should all be […]
