Announcing the release of PALEO | by Lizzy of Primal Junction

September 9, 2014

For a long time, I’ve had the goal of writing a cookbook. One of my most relaxing and indulgent activities is to lie on the floor in the living room at home, surrounded by my favourite cookbooks. For me, it’s not even about cooking out of them.

I love all the beautiful images, creative recipe methods and I better yet, the challenge of making delicious and nutrient dense alternatives without the “fluffy” and “filler” ingredients like flour, sugars and grains. It’s always so rewarding to make a “paleo” dinner for guests and friends without them even knowing!

As I started experimenting more and more with my food and reducing the amount of toxins, sugar, dairy and grains that I was consuming, I kept needing to alter dishes and classic family favourites.

There is nothing better that a dessert that is tastes good and your skin will love you for, right?

As you may recall, we spoke about the importance of hydration a little while back so today we thought we would bring you our favourite hydrating recipe from my new book Paleo.

This watermelon and basil granita is a hydrating, refreshing dessert or snack option particularly as the weather starts to warm up! Watermelon is made up of about 92% water and 8% sugar, with its deep red colouring attributed to its high Lycopene content, a powerful antioxidant.

Let me ask you this beauties? Are you ready to take the next step in the journey?

When I look back on my own journey, there is another side to detoxing that’s not just your food choices. It is the glorious process of removing chemicals from your pantry, your laundry cupboard and your bathroom vanity. After all, being a conscious beauty is as much about what you put on your skin as the toxins that surround you every day. Whether they be found in your food, your household cleaners or your beauty products.

Unfortunately, our exposure to chemicals and toxins is much more prolific that we are often made aware of, because glamorous marketing has us believing we need something while concealing the real truth about what’s inside. Don’t fear beauties, we are not here for a chemistry or marketing lesson, instead let us look together at what is involved in a typical cupboard detox.

Favourite Finds – Why We’re Loving Natural / Organic Deodorant

Natural Deodorants

We hear ya beauties! Switching to natural deodorants can be quite the process of trial and error, right?

Finding “the one” that performs and smells like your toxic laden big brand deodorant can take a bit of work. We know that sometimes uncomfortable story all too well. Luckily for you, we are here to help you find your perfect match.

A couple of weeks ago, the lovely Irene – founder of Nourished Life online beauty shop – heard our cries and magically dropped her top four products at our door. Each one their own unique blend, smell and texture – ranging from a spray to a paste. We were excited to get sweaty one might say.

So here are our thoughts…
