Favourite Finds – Why we’re loving Jacqueline Evans

April 9, 2014

Jacqueline Evans Organic Beauty Products

You may recall, a little while ago Ruby wrote about one of her favourite finds of the moment – Jacqueline Evans Jojoba and Camellia Nut Balancing cream. Although this was our first experience with her products, we were quickly converted.

Well guess what beauties – we have more to tell!

A Conscious Beauty was fortunate enough to be gifted one of the Jacqueline Evans sample packs from the lovely lady herself. The set of four little sample pots can be bought from Jacqueline’s own store and are a fabulous way to get familiar with one her cleansers, a scrub and two of her moisturisers. As the products are rich in quality, you only need a little so they do last a couple of days.

What colour is your plate?

April 8, 2014

Have you ever wondered why fruits and vegetables represent all the colours of the rainbow?

“Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue…….”

The different colours on our plate represent a vast array of nutrients that correspond with  physiological processes ranging from seeing in the dark to fighting off the common cold. When Primal Junction works with individuals or athletes who have cleaned up their diet and removed a lot of the filler foods like breads, grains and cereals, they often tell us that they find it difficult to fill their plate. In addition, when clients switch to a higher protein diet, they substitute refined carbohydrates for acid-forming foods such as sugars and poor dairy, which contribute to inflammation rather than reduce it.

Our biggest tip from the Green Beauty 101 series

basics of green beauty

After twisting and turning our way through the chemical maze these past 5 weeks, you might be left thinking, so where do I go from here?

Are you still confused?

I totally hear ya girl! Even though I have been on the green beauty train for a long time, I am continually learning. The trick for me, was knowing a few key ingredients to look out for and finding the brands I can trust. Brand trust, from a truly authentic and ethical place.

The aim of our series was to give you an insight into a handful of ‘toxic’ ingredients which we found were commonly singled out as the one’s to look out for. This was a process of scouring the internet and reading my way through my favourite text – The Green Beauty Guide.

Beauty Food Nourish and Heal

Autumn anti-inflammatory ginger tonic

As the seasons begin to change, you may notice a few more sniffles in the office or maybe you are a little bit more achy than usual, if so, Lizzy of Primal Junction has the perfect tonic for all our beauties.

Start your day with a dose of this refreshing tonic full of anti-inflammatory gingerols and alkalizing fresh lemon. If you’re used to waking up and having coffee on an empty stomach, try some ginger tonic first to reduce acidity and kick-start digestion.

You may recall Lizzy wrote in depth about inflammation and how anti-inflammatory foods can play a vital role in our recovery and overall vitality. If you missed her post, you may want to check it out here.

Hello Beauties!

We thought we were a bit over-due giving you an update on what’s been happening for us here at A Conscious Beauty. And what exciting news we have to share with you Beauties!

Ruby got married!

Last week the beautiful Ruby said ‘i-do’ to her man in a wonderfully touching ceremony at Clareville Beach Reserve on the Northern Beaches. It was a love-filled joyous day with plenty of laughter shared by all.
