Fresh Almond Milk is so easy to make and I think everyone loves almond milk these days! I used to get embarrassed asking for almond milk with my tea in a café, but now it’s not uncommon for me to hear the big, burly tradie in the queue asking for almond milk lattes, so bring it on! Once you see how easy and QUICK it is to make your own, you won’t turn back. Continue reading
This is another recipe that has stood the test of time with our family. When we started the gut healing GAPS Protocol a couple of years ago as treatment for my eldest who has Autism I tried sooo many pancake recipes. Ah the fails!! It actually tipped me over at one point early on in the protocol, scraping another wasted batch of sticking, crappy, crumbly pancake fail into the bin. That crumbly pancake mix wasn’t just a bunch of ingredients that didn’t work out – it was my time, my dollars, it was my love for my family, food has always been a way I express my love. So let me save you the heartache with this awesome, truly tried and many times tested recipe! Continue reading
I know, it’s maybe hard to believe, but I’d never heard of menstrual cups until 5 years ago. I’m not sure if I was hanging around the wrong crowd, or most people didn’t know about them either. Whatever the case, I’m thankful to have (finally!) made the switch. Continue reading
Cooler nights have us searching for warming foods and we love this tummy warming spiced Turmeric Milk. It’s a great night cap helping restful sleep and the spices have powerful healing properties, especially the anti-inflammatory ginger and turmeric. Always look for the best quality, organic spices you can find as you will definitely reap the benefits with quality here. Continue reading
Recently I went on a holiday to Thailand, before you hate me it was the first proper holiday I’d had in about 7 years (and no way I’m leaving it that long again!). I had been to Thailand previously but this time round I had new eyes and had become a lot more thoughtful about how to reduce my impact on the environment. So I set off with the goal to travel as lightly as I could. Here’s my tips, my challenges, the fails I had and my successes. Continue reading
It has been two years since I put together a list of my favourite toxin free beauty items and so much has changed! Companies have reformulated, repackaged and loads of new items have come out. It’s such an exciting time out there in the world of natural beauty. To me this is just an extension of TRUE beauty. When we are nourishing our skin with natural items we are supporting our health in just another way (a way we can often forget about in a healthy lifestyle, health is so much more than just food!) It’s self love, it’s truly nurturing and nourishing and man do these products work! So welcome to my Top Picks for 2018. Continue reading
The mornings are cooler and a lot of Aussie kids grow up with a hot chocolate milk to warm their tummies. I give this one the real 5 star health rating, and it only has three ingredients! It’s just as quick to make as the chocolate milk mix in a tin, (honestly I’m not just saying that!!) It’s too easy and too yummy and a healthy way to enjoy this chocolatey treat. Continue reading
It’s crazy these marshmallows are good for you because they taste just like you would imagine them to be – only they’re minus the bad stuff. They can even toast (say what!) and in the cooler months they are soo good in a Real Hot Chocolate. We also love these in lunchboxes as a fun treat. In this recipe I have made the basic, basic ones, but there are lots of fun options to go with too. Continue reading
I love these cupcakes, they are so pretty to look at and smell amazing baking! They also freeze really well for convenience, just store them in an airtight container in the freezer and they will keep for up to two months. Pop them in your work lunchbox (or the kids if you’re feeling generous) and they will be perfectly defrosted by lunchtime. Continue reading
Have you heard of a Shakti Mat? I had wanted one for years but had so many questions and for some reason thought it would be a lot more expensive than what it is. I was so excited when mine came and I thought I would test run it for everyone curious out there, and hopefully answer some of the queries you may have had about it. I trialled it out for a month and this is what happened… Continue reading
