My relationship with alcohol and the holistic beauty journey

July 24, 2014

There was a period in my life where alcohol played a significant role and was almost always associated with the word FUN.

In my late teens and early 20’s I enjoyed more that your standard few drinks – one, often three times per week. I’m not sure I would have called myself a ‘binge drinker’ but there was rarely a night out that I didn’t drink, let alone the amount of times I was sick from it. Yes, they were some classy moments I assure you.

I don’t have any massive regrets about that period of my life, but like most of my friends, that was our version of normal. Looking back now, I do recall a handful of times that my judgement was impaired and had I not been drinking, I probably would have thought twice about that guy or getting into that car.

How the holistic beauty journey could change your life & health forever

July 15, 2014

How are you feeling today beautiful?

How does your body feel? Are you energetic, alive or radiant?

…or are you tired, weary and sluggish?

Let me ask you this question, do the latter of those words resonate with you more than the former?

The journey towards holistic beauty begins with asking yourself that simple question – how do I feel inside? how do I feel outside? are the two aligned with one another?

A Conscious Beauty on daily morning rituals

July 7, 2014
Do you have a morning ritual? something that is special and unique to you that you can’t start the day without?

In the last few weeks you may have noticed our little series centred around morning rituals. These rituals I like to do to nurture inner beauty and self-love, create glowing outer beauty and increase my intake of beauty foods. Today, I wanted to share with you the real meaning behind my morning routine.

My belief is that morning rituals are practices unique to each individual. Many of us go about our morning doing the same actions without putting much attention or thought around why we do them. After all, in this fast paced world, our mornings are often spent rushing from one thing to the next in order to beat traffic and make it to work on time. For many years before I started living a little more consciously, I knew that story all too well.

Morning beauty rituals – dry brushing

June 23, 2014

 

If Miranda Kerr is doing it, it must be good? If wellness warrior Jess Ainscough swears by it then I’m sure you are just a little bit curious?

That was enough evidence for me to have a go.

I am pretty sure you were thinking I was going to let you in on some crazy strict diet secret, but you know that is not our cup of tea. What I am talking about is the morning routine of dry brushing. And guess what beauties – it’s the next tip in our series on morning rituals.

So before we get into the nitty gritty, lets start at the beginning…

This time last week were rolling along in the car through the countryside of Tasmania soaking up the glorious wide open spaces that the island has to offer. My husband and I, were chatting and listening to Triple J radio when suddenly my little ears pricked up. The news story was examining the role of mircroplastics in beauty products and it’s connection with the environment.

Microplastics? Say what?

Even hearing that word rings alarm bells in my head, and the thought of it being in beauty products we use every day had me screaming WTF!

The particular radio story that caught my attention was acknowledging the recent visit by Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands. As the President of Fauna and Flora International, she was in Australia to raise awareness around the environmental impact of mircroplastics – in particular as an ingredient in beauty products.
