21.01.2022 Anyone who knows me, knows I dont promote or support perfume or cologne as, in my opinion, it is one of the most toxic things we can out on our body. In fact D...r Carole Hungerford states: The very thing a woman thinks makes her more feminine, is the very thing that is costing her, her femininity. Also men their masculinity as ingredients in fragrance and cologne are synthetic oestrogen causing oestrogen dominance, impacting our hormones, endocrine system and also our thyroid as most women spray it on their necks. At my speaking events I have a lot of women who say they couldnt imagine their life without perfume. FOR the women who still want to use perfume and men who still want to use cologne, but use non toxic ones that support, not hinder the body - I NOW HAVE SOME THAT ARE TOTALLY SAFE & I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE ABLE SAY THAT ABOUT PERFUME. Go to my online wellness store, go to SHOP, PERSONAL CARE, then PERFUME and you will find perfume and cologne there and if you look further you will find all kinds of goodness there including healthy makeup, my detox program I recommend, healthy food, in fact - ALL YOU WILL IS HEALTHY EVERYTHING THERE! Enjoy smelling beautiful but without negatively impacting your health xxx http://bit.ly/2FwGEye

18.01.2022 This is awesome Come on PERTH, lets follow suit!!!
18.01.2022 Okay, lets talk about whats best for the kitchen bin. I took this pic at Woolworths, and Im a little frustrated because of how deceiving and confusing this ...is for the regular shopper just trying their best to make a good decision at the checkout. Multix have come out with a greener bin liner option. Looks great on the outside, but lets break this down. The top roll Im holding is labelled plant based under Multixs Greener range. Okay, sounds positive right? Well, yes thats a positive, as it also states that its made from 60% plant-based material, a renewable resource from the sugarcane industry which is indeed a great move, but if you look closely, it is also labelled as degradable. Now, degradable is not to be confused with biodegradable because anything that is degradable will not fully break down into the soil when it ends up in landfill. Instead, it turns into tiny pieces of plastic that will never break down, continuing the micro plastics issue we currently face in our oceans. Probably not a great option. The second roll Im holding is same brand, being Multix, same greener range in bold labelling, but here are the differences. Firstly, instead of plant based labelling, they have it labelled as compostable. It also states that its biodegradable. This is where it makes ALL the difference! So, compostable and biodegradable are sort of the same, but sort of not. To the average person, it would seem the same, but here are the slight differences. They both aim to break down safely into the earth, however, biodegradable is made for breaking down in landfills, and compostable is made with a specific set of requirements to break down safely in a compost. Usually the compostable bags are quicker to break down too. So, if you were after a bag safe to put into your compost bin, or wanting to just use the bag for kitchen to wheelie bin, I can understand how this could be confusing. I looked closer on the back of the label and it is marked as home compostable AS 5810 ABAP 20006 and compostable AS 4736 ABAP 10060. These numbers refer to the certification from the Australian Bioplastics Association. This is probably a good option to purchase, and they have different sizes to choose from, plus it is labelled as safe for composts too, so double great. Lastly, I wanted to shed light on another brand called compost-a-pak. These were so clearly marked compostable, with zero confusing labels. This is also certified and marked on the back of the label compostable certification number AS 4736-2006 ABAP 10019 and home compostable certification number ABAP 20001. It also states under the headline made from vegetable material and plastic free. Australian certified compostable. This is so crystal clear, and easy to understand, and I wanted to show the stark difference in the marketing and labelling. Ive seen many people putting the first option on the conveyor belt at the checkout and I know those people are just trying to make the best decision, but its not fair that theyre being misled. I couldnt find other sizes in this brand on the shelf besides the one, but its still a pretty good option. I hope this helps you make your decision a little easier when you go shopping next DISCLAIMER 30/06/2019: I am just a regular degular 26 year old interior design grad, and by no means an expert in this field. I dont have all the answers either but Im open to learning more if you have other info for me to look into! This post is for people who prefer to buy bin liners, who are just trying their best to implement small positive changes in their house holds. Im not claiming bin liners are better than any other option as I think its super unrealistic to expect a one size fits all option to work for everyones differing and unique households. If you do naked bins, awesome. If you line with newspaper, great. Im not against any other method, again, this is just highlighting labeling confusions for those who prefer this particular method for their home. So please be kind, Im about building each other up and learning together, seeing as we are all in this together UPDATE 01/07/2019: I have a community for you all to join and continue sharing your research with me so we can continue the discussion and help each other understand all the different ways we can implement small changes into our homes and lifestyles.

18.01.2022 {5 ways to fight off the winter colds & flus, and my healing chicken soup recipe!} If you think about all the advice for fighting colds and flus naturally, you'...ll see why chicken soup really does make you feel better. Heres some of the best tips Ive collected over the years, and how a nutrient dense soup can help to promote healing! 1. Keep fluids up. Make sure youre having lots of warm drinks (elderberry tea, fresh ginger tea, lemon and honey, peppermint tea or other herbal teas). Cold drinks are not recommended if you have a sore throat, so drink room temperature water, not cold from the fridge. For acute cases, make elderberry syrup. Soup tips: Broths and broth-based soups are the perfect food to keep fluids up. Sip light soups and broths from a mug, and when you feel up to eating try a hearty soup like the one below. 2. Eat light, healing foods; avoid foods that promote congestion and inflammation. Gentle, easy to digest foods are important when fighting an infection soups, stews, casseroles, fresh juices (diluted), and juice jellies. Avoid flour and baked goods, starchy foods, sugars, preservatives, vegetable oils, and dairy. Soup tips: A broth based soup with plenty of soft-cooked veggies and fresh herbs will help to reduce congestion, and boost the immune system. Add some turmeric to help reduce inflammation. 3. Gargle with salt water, or sage and thyme water. Gargling really helps to soothe sore, inflamed throats and clears the sinuses, and also reduces bacteria in the throat, mouth and tonsils. For a salt water gargle, stir 1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt into 1 cup of boiled water and cool to lukewarm. For sage and thyme gargle, boil 150ml water with 1 tsp each of fresh sage and thyme (or 1/2 tsp each of dried herbs). Allow to infuse for 10 mins, then strain and cool to lukewarm. Soup tips: Add good quality sea salt and fresh herbs to your soups when you sip the salty soup its like gargling with warm salt water, and the added herbs will give your immune system a boost! 4. Avoid medications that dry out mucus or suppress a cough. Its much healthier for the body to get rid of the infected mucus by coughing it up, so that the cold doesnt turn into a secondary chest infection. To loosen and thin out mucus so its easier to release: take hot, steamy showers; have a humidifier with eucalyptus oil going to keep air moist, or do steam inhalations; keep hydrated (avoid coffee, tea and alcohol, see recommended fluids above); drink ivy leaf tea or take ivy leaf syrup; drink licorice root tea or suck on natural licorice lozenges (unless you have high blood pressure); mince up some fresh garlic and mix with honey and have a spoonful when coughing; add cayenne pepper, horseradish and onions to your food as much as possible. Soup tips: Leaning over a steaming bowl of soup full of fresh herbs, chilli, pepper, garlic, onion, turmeric and ginger, and sipping it while you inhale the steam, will help to thin out mucus and clear sinuses. 5. Get plenty of fresh air, and rest and relax! Keep the windows open if you can (even a little) to let the air in while you lay in bed or rest on the couch; sit outside in the sunshine; lay on a blanket in the shade in the backyard (well-rugged up if the weather is cool). Breathing fresh air is important for the vitality of your respiratory system. Avoid stuffy, overheated rooms. Rest as much as you can, and when you start to feel better dont overdo it, or you could end up back in bed, worse than ever! Soup tips: Keep a thermos of broth or soup beside your bed to sip on when you get hungry. When youre starting to feel a bit better and you want to get out of the house, take soup and tea in thermoses, pile some blankets and pillows into the car, pack a good book, and find a sunny, quiet spot to have a lazy day and an outdoor nap! See what I mean? A good old-fashioned chicken soup ticks all the boxes. Make this soup for your friends and family when theyre under the weather, and send them the recipe so they can make it for you! Teach your kids to make it, keep some in the freezer, always be prepared! Recipe here: https://www.quirkycooking.com.au//fighting-colds-flus-hea/
17.01.2022 [ TRUTH BOMB ] According to FSANZ (Food Standards Australia and New Zealand), the vast number of flavouring substances permitted in food means it wouldn't be re...alistic to require the names to be listed individually. Are you kidding us?? Unfortunately, we are not. This is the harsh reality! Even our own governing body doesn't seem to care about us, the consumers. The word 'flavour' or 'flavouring' could be anything!! And here's the perfect example, FIVE versions of MSG in one little packet of noodles. A food that is eaten around the world on a daily basis because of how 'convenient' it is. MSG is a horrible additive that changes the receptors in our brain so that we fail to recognise when we are full. Hence why foods with MSG in them is a real problem contributing to obesity. AND this is just one small portion of the issues MSG causes in our bodies. Taking a small amount of time in your life to learn what to look out for is a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of additives and preservatives you can save your body and your loved one's bodies from.

17.01.2022 Are you getting enough sleep? This simple test will tell you... #PublicSleepingDay
16.01.2022 Think of magnesium as the relaxation mineral. You must have magnesium for your cells to make energy, for many different chemical pumps to work, to stabilize me...mbranes, and to help muscles relax. The reason we are so deficient is simple: Many of us eat a diet that contains practically no magnesium a highly-processed, refined diet that is based mostly on white flour, meat, and dairy (all of which have no magnesium). Anything that is tight, irritable, crampy, and stiff whether it is a body part or an even a mood is a sign of magnesium deficiency. Including the following in your diet as often as you can: Kelp, wheat bran, wheat germ, almonds, cashews, buckwheat, brazil nuts, dulse, filberts, millet, pecans, walnuts, rye, tofu, soy beans, brown rice, figs, dates, collard greens, shrimp, avocado, parsley, beans, barley, dandelion greens, and garlic. I also highly recommend a daily magnesium supplement. The most absorbable forms are magnesium citrate, glycinate taurate, or aspartate, although magnesium bound to Kreb cycle chelates (malate, succinate, fumarate) are also good. To properly absorb magnesium we need a lot of it in our diet, plus enough vitamin B6, vitamin D, and selenium to get the job done. Avoid magnesium carbonate, sulfate, gluconate, and oxide. They are poorly absorbed (and the cheapest and most common forms found in supplements).

13.01.2022 *What do you cook with?* This is one of the biggest take aways I have received in my journey so far and I would love to share this info with you so you can al...so make the change. Did you know that Teflon (especially those pans made before 2015) can leach chemicals into your food. In 2015 there was a need to change the make up of the teflon coating because it was shown release a chemical called PFOA and this was shown to be linked with infertility, breast cancer, prostate cancer and liver tumours. They have since reformulated (which wasn't very long ago) however there is still a risk and there are better options out there. It's like when they took out the BPA from plastic bottles but replaced it with BPS which is more toxic but no studies yet to prove it. (Basically switch to glass or stainless steel water bottles please ) The safest options for cooking are stainless steel and a good quality cast iron range. We use stainless steel and though these aren't as non stick they distribute the heat beautifully and fast and don't have the toxic chemicals leaching into your food! Your pots and saucepans that have flaking teflon are even more dangerous so please do yourself a favour and invest in some really good quality cookware. This is something that can last your entire lifetime so investing in this and your health is worth it! Teflon is just not worth it!

13.01.2022 Did you know that our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate more than 800 varieties of plants? Thats how they got so much fiber each day. They foraged far and wide, th...ey typically ate a range of wild plants of all different colors. In other words, they ate the rainbow, and you should too. Our ancestors didnt have drugs or pills. They ate their medicine in the form of plants. In general, the more colors you eat when it comes to plants, the more anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, healing compounds from the phytonutrients youll soak up. Some of these colors even work together synergistically to have a more powerful effect, which is another reason you should eat a diverse array of veggies. Though these are not essential like vitamins and minerals, without them you will age faster. Vegetables and fruits use their colors to signal which beneficial substances they contain. Red means one thing, yellow another, purple something else. The colors attract the insects and animals that will disperse the plants seeds; these are the same chemicals -- phytonutrients that give flowers their colors. Its the language of the plant kingdom, and we would do well to learn it because each color represents a different group of healing compounds. See more

09.01.2022 Did you know that much of our recyclable waste goes into landfill because people are putting the wrong things into their yellow top bins? Yep, unfortunately the... whole contaminated load gets chucked. We can significantly reduce this wastage just by educating ourselves on what we can and cant put in our yellow top bins! Have a 3 minute read of this article to understand the dos and donts: https://buff.ly/2WKNp9i, and use this A to Z guide if you have a specific item you're not sure about: https://buff.ly/2XojbGp Many things like Tetra Pak milk cartons, coffee cups, polystyrene trays, soft plastics like cling wrap and plastic bags, aerosols, and unwashed containers can NOT go in your yellow top bin! Some of these do have other recycling options. Any scrunchable plastics (plastic bags, chip packets, soft plastic packaging etc.) can go into REDcycle bins often found outside Coles and Woolworths stores. Beauty product tubes/containers can go to Terracycle pickup locations, which our store is one - we have a collection box out the front of our store. Of course, the best solution is to try and cut down on the packaging you buy.

02.01.2022 Its not about having lower cholesterol; its about having the right type of cholesterol. Believing that a low cholesterol count is the best way to prevent hear...t disease, doctors often prescribe medications like statins to keep those levels low. But these drugs can introduce a whole host of problems: muscle damage, brain damage, memory issues, Parkinsons-like symptoms, and muscle aches and pains. All of this has been caused by cholesterol medications, which dont necessarily even work. Heres the shocker: You have to treat 50 people with statins to prevent one heart attack, or treat 890 people to prevent one death. Its just not a very effective drug. If you have high triglycerides, if you have a low HDL, if you have high cholesterol, the best way to fix it is to get off flour and sugar. Eat more quality fatnuts, avocados, seeds, and coconut butter. And eat good quality protein with every meal. These are very helpful in balancing your blood sugar, balancing your insulin, shutting off the fat-production factory in your liver, and making your cholesterol normal.
