Love List ~ May 2016

Here are some awesome finds for you this month!

♥ Botica Bliss Bath Teas

Oh my gosh! So excited about this. My gorgeous friend Rebecca Hurst (you might know her as the amazing eco-mumma and former owner of 4 My Earth) has a new venture and it’s all about delicious bath teas. She has formulated these beautiful botanical blends for you to use in your bath. There are three blends to choose from – relaxing, sleep inducing and soothing. All contain flowers or leaves and no essential oils so they are beautifully gentle for everyone in the family.

♥ The Well Nourished Lunch Box

Georgia Harding, naturopath from Well Nourished is a recipe genius. She is one of my go-to people for healthy recipes. Georgia’s new lunch box ebook is nothing short of amazing with over 50 nourishing recipes. All of them are nut-free, wheat-free and refined sugar-free .

Check it out here.

♥ Onyx Reusable Chopsticks

I am in love with this! If you use chopsticks a lot when you eat out, get yourself your own reusable set. This one from Onyx is made from bamboo and stainless steel and comes in a cute pouch. A gorgeous little gift too.

♥ Twenty 8 Deodorant Paste

Amazing aromatherapist Kim Morrison has just released her new deodorant! It’s a gorgeous 100% natural paste with essential oils. In a citrusy scent, it works for both men and women.

♥ DIY Seashell Lights

What to do with all those seashells you’ve collected? Make a gorgeous string of lights! It’s so easy, you can make it in half an hour.

♥ What’s with Wheat?

The must-see documentary of the year from one of my favourite people in the wellness world, nutritionist Cyndi O’Meara. Register now to watch it for FREE! Cyndi has been all over the world interviewing experts, researching and investigating the growing epidemic of wheat intolerance, and why after eating wheat for thousands of years, it has been linked to so many health problems.

What awesome things have you discovered this month???

August -where have you gone ???

Here is my monthly round up of cool products, people, blogs and books that I am loving!

♥ Kombucha is so hot right now! But, it can be so confusing to know where to start and how to do it! Well, the lovely Kristen from Naturally Better Foods has sorted it all out for you. They are now selling a Kombucha Starter Kit! You get a massive 4.25 litre glass jar, a scoby (that’s the mushroomy looking thing you need to make it) and three kombucha shots to get you inspired. They can deliver Australia wide and it’s on sale at the moment for $45.oo. It’s time to get brewing!

♥ This gorgeous post from Rachel Macy Stafford, author of Hands Free Mama, talks about children who shine from within – the fireflys. For every child who has ever felt ‘different’ this is a beautiful, uplifting read.

♥ Breastfeeding? Simone at Nourishing Hub has these new Tanker Topper lactation biccies from Franjos Kitchen. They are a yummy and nourishing way to keep your supply up. They are wheat, dairy and egg free and contain lots of superfoods and are developed by a naturopath (the Jo part of Franjo!). Get them in Choc Chip or Fig and Almond flavours. PS you don’t need to be a breastfeeding mum to eat them, anyone can benefit from them (Simone’s husband has been devouring them!)

♥ I love discovering new brands created by small, local, passionate biz doing the natural thing! Amanda at The Organic Store has found Noosa Basics and now has them in store. Noosa Basics are a boutique natural apothecary based in (you guessed it)….. Noosa. Their range includes lip balm, deodorant in a stick and a tub and *ahem* a pleasure enhancer at very affordable prices.

The products are all natural and organic and totally free of all nasty chemicals and toxins. I also love that they source all their ingredients and packaging and labels from Australian suppliers. Get them online from The Organic Store (and check out all the other cool things Amanda sells! I do a regular order!)

♥ Zanni Louise from My Little Sunshine House posted a fabulous blog about how to paint with flowers. What a totally natural paint to use! Absolutely beautiful.

♥ You might remember that I have mentioned I have suffered chronic fatigue for many years and this year I am also facing severe adrenal fatigue and very high estrogen levels. I am recovering slowly with lots of different things, but I really noticed a huge difference in the last few months after being on Puraforce Remedies’ Wellness Protocol. Now I am not needing a day time nap and can even go for a daily walk again. I also made it through winter without any colds, flu or bugs. Thrilled!!!

Nicole at Puraforce Remedies told me to start taking her Digestion Aid, Hormone Balancer, Stress and Immune Boost drops – 1ml four times a day. I put half in water bottle in the morning and half in the afternoon and sip on it all day. The Hormone Balancer drops are an extra for me in addition to the Wellness Protocol to get my estrogen levels down. So easy, so affordable and with amazing results. I am telling everyone to try this! It can’t hurt!

You can find out more about the Wellness Protocol here and get a nice discount too (thanks Nic!). Or if you want to chat about your ailments call Nic on her toll free number Mon-Fri 9-5 1800 244 449. The entire range of drops is also at the Puraforce Remedies website – we use her drops for everything now!

♥ Lee Holmes from Supercharged Food released her Heal Your Gut ebook! It’s a cracker and I am loving the recipes so much. I am going to review it on the blog soon, but if you want a sneak peek, then check it out here.
