Winter beauty food – a guide to bone broth with Primal Junction

June 24, 2014

bone broth

Have you noticed these two words flying around a lot lately?

Bone broth is a regular occurrence in a Primal Junction household, and if you haven’t caught on yet, here’s our guide to why you should dust off the stockpot and learn a trick or two from our frugal ancestors. They sure knew not to waste any part of the animal.

Not only is bone broth incredibly nutrient dense, it’s jam-packed full of minerals that nourish skin cells and reduce inflammation in the body and skin. Gelatine-rich bone broth is often recommended for clear and firm skin and is believed to be helpful for reducing wrinkles and cellulite.

How to travel and be a conscious beauty

May 26, 2014

Holidays for many, including myself, are a time to cut loose on our clean living ways and indulge a little more than usual. However, as the body goes into holiday mode and we hit the ground at our new destination I feel sluggish and sometimes the sniffles will follow.

My husband and I recently spent 7 glorious days travelling through Tasmania for our honeymoon and there was certainly plenty of indulging on local cheeses, ice-cream and chocolate to name a few. However, as I’m married to a holistic health coach (the big brother half of Primal Junction) there was a lot of conversation around how we could travel, indulge a little and still return rested.

oils for dry hair image

If you are anything like me, my body doesn’t respond well to the cold. The visible signs of a change in season aren’t always that flattering, my skin gets a little dryer as the air cools and we dive for hot showers.

But the one thing that has left me a little embarrassed of late, is a dry scalp. Ewwww….I know, embarrassing huh!

And you know what? I realised that some of our beauties out there might be suffering the same, so we decided to put together 5 natural and easy ways to say goodbye to dryness.

Green skin food smoothie

February 25, 2014

To me, true beauty is about health, happiness and a passion for life. One of the first places we notice this exuberant and energizing beauty is in healthy, glowing skin.

When our skin is clear and blemish-free, it is less tempting for us to cover it with heavy make-up and harsh products. I’m a big believer in ‘feeding’ our skin with nutrient dense foods, just like our bodies. I like to check the ingredients of any skincare product to make sure that I can eat it before I feed it to the largest organ in the body that’s responsible for protection, regulation and absorption.

This green smoothie is a creamy, delicious ‘skin food.’ Combining avocado, peppermint and coconut oil, it’s jam packed full of fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins that will promote a healthy glow on the inside and out.

Why we are nuts about coconut

What is coconut oil?

If any of you know me well, you will know that I am pretty obsessed with this humble oil. As I write this, I am super excited to be letting you in on a 5000 year old secret that in some cultures is known as ‘the tree of life’ or ‘the tree of a thousand uses’. In our household, this oil is easily the most diverse food we consume and apply to our skin on a daily basis. So much so, I have taken to keeping a jar of coconut oil in the bathroom as my go to moisturiser.

I discovered this little gem of a food about 4 years ago, with the help of a Naturopath and close friends Chris and Nicky Jones of Primal Movement. At the time, I made a choice to seriously clean up my diet in an effort to overcome serious allergies. I drew from the principles behind paleo and primal living, which quickly led me to coconut oil.
