As we mentioned in our first post for this brand, we were thrilled when Irene from Nourished Life, shared a couple 100% Pure products with us to trial.

A quick summary for those who haven’t seen the first post yet – this wonderful brand is one of our favourite finds as they are quite simply 100% Pure (their brand name may have just given that one away!)

The 100% Pure products are based on antioxidants, are gluten free (where possible) and contain no nasties or unhealthy toxins i.e. artificial colours & fragrances, synthetic chemicals, harsh detergents or chemical preservatives. Add to that, their products are also vegan friendly and not tested on animals. Our type of brand!

How to detox your cupboards on the holistic beauty journey

August 14, 2014

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.

My relationship with alcohol and the holistic beauty journey

July 24, 2014

14.07.24_holistic beauty alcohol

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?
