Stuff I heart # 3
Here’s the latest in stuff I heart, there has been a tonne of great new products and companies that II have discovered, and I’m excited to share that with you! 1. Making your own candles. Image from: http://www.underlockandkeyblog.com/2013/01/diy-scented-soy-candles.html I’m awaiting a delivery of gorgeous candle making supplies, which i’m going to turn into some lovely soy pillar candles. I have a candle lit most evenings, and I just love the feel it gives to my house. I relate candles with warmth, spiritualism, awakening, calm, sensation, enlightening, slow movement and breath. They go perfectly with the evening wind down yoga session. I got my supplies from www.candlemaking.com.au. They have lots of great quality…

Five Friday favourites #2
1. Food that magically regrows itself. I love this, its basically free food. Ok, so you do have to wait for it to grow, but the idea is so great! I might try it with some green onions, they look pretty easy! And I’m amazed at how many foods you can do this with. I’d also love to try the mushrooms and the pineapple! Find the full article here: http://cookingstoned.tv/blog/2014/02/food-that-magically-regrows-itself-from-kitchen-scraps/ 2. Farmers markets I visited my closest farmers market last weekend, and totally loved it! It’s just such a pity its a 25 minute drive away. I love the community atmosphere, getting to know the farmers and stall owners. Plus you…

Five Friday favourites #1
I’ve decided to do a new blog segment called ‘Five Friday favourites’ where I do a quick roundup of my weekly favourite things from the interwebs. Image: “Boundless” by http://ineedchemicalx.deviantart.com/ 1. Mercury retrograde. Mercury does crazy things and appears to be going backwards, its not but it does have an effect on people. It’s been playing havoc with my ability to communicate, and being a Gemini and ruled by mercury, I have had a huge reaction to this particular mercury retrograde. I can’t seem to get words out, and my brain has been abnormally fuzzy. Gala darling gives a fantastic overview of this crazy phenomenon. 2. Fresca natural deodorants. Ever since…

Natural air freshner
Happy Friday! My mum has become a bit of a pro at making her own natural handmade products, and i’m going to share with you one of her best recipes! Air fresheners generally have huge amounts of nasty chemicals in them, include some which may have a negative impact on your health. Over the last few years I have been gradually reducing the amount of chemicals I use in my house, and now I love making my own! There is something lovely about using a product that you have made yourself, and knowing exactly what it contains. 1 Small spray bottle Vodka Distilled water Bergamot oil Coriander oil In a…

Product review: Conscious Craves Kale chips
Finally home! There’s really nothing like getting back home and having your happy little dog greet you like he hasn’t seen you in months, its the most lovely feeling 🙂 Of course getting back home, I had loads to do, so before doing so I made sure I had a nutrient dense power snack-bring on the kale chips! I got these bad boys from the Margaret River Farmers markets from the lovely Kylie from Conscious Craves. They are flavorsome and super crunchy, and she uses a blend of Cashews, sesame seeds, garlic, tahini and spices to pack them with a punch. Plus kale is full of vitamins and minerals, which…

I Love Cacao
Who doesn’t love chocolate! The velvety smoothness on your tongue, and the creamy rich taste-Yum! And you will be happy to know that I totally approve of chocolate…However its gotta be the good stuff. I often get asked the question, whats the difference between cacao and cocoa? Basically cocoa is the refined and processed version of cacao, its kind of the equivalent to white flour vs a multi-grain whole flour. Through all the processing, cocoa looses much of the goodness that it originally had-and let me tell you, it had some pretty good stuff. So then, cacao, the goddess of super foods, not only is it delicious, but its versatile,…

I LOVE Pukka tea, I stumbled across the brand about 3 years ago, and have been addicted ever since. I’m pretty sure the packaging first caught my eye, they have such beautiful designs.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Hey! I’m getting really excited because Christmas is just around the corner, and exams are all over, which means I’m on holidays for 3 months! And for you guys, that means lots and lots and lots of blog posts full of recipes, nutrition information and cool stuff! I’ve started thinking about Christmas shopping, and what I’m going to buy for my friends and family! I don’t agree too much with the hype and pressure that is placed on families this time of year, like spending hundreds of dollars on plastic toys that kids will play with for a few weeks. And I really don’t like the shopping centers this time…
