My love for lavender essential oil

My love for lavender essential oil

Lavender

The lovely lavender essential oil is ALWAYS in my natural medicine cabinet.

As a therapist, lavender oil is an important oil for me to keep in the kit as it does wonders for practically EVERYTHING! It’s a powerful antioxidant, antimicrobial, sedative, and has calming and antidepressive properties.⁣ ⁣

                  This is a recent purchase I made from a company called ECODROPand…

GLOW-BOOSTING RECIPE

I think my NutriBullethas been my saviour on days when I need a boost of energy or fight the blues and prevent joint aches and pains.  I become quite creative when it comes to juicing or making smoothies, and I add whatever is on hand: fruit, vegetables, seeds, yoghurt, nuts…..the list and possibilities are endless and if you’re a smoothie-fan like me you know what I mean when I mean by throwing…

In My Natural Medicine Cabinet | Cumin Seeds

In my natural medicine cabinet today, I’ll be discussing the benefits of cumin.

Cumin is the dried seed of the herb Cuminum cyminum, a member of the parsley family (Apiaceae). Native to a territory including the Middle East and stretching east to India. Its seeds – each one contained within a fruit, which is dried – are used in the cuisines of many cultures in both whole and ground form.

Feel Inspired and Grounded Each Day

To reconnect or get grounded you don’t have to fork out money to purchase an airline ticket and escape to a faraway land, although this could be a choice, however, just getting up and leaving a country is not always the answer especially when we have to console ourselves or resolve issues with our inner selves.  Sometimes in our daily lives, we can choose to opt for cost-effective solutions for…

Dealing With Anger | People Who Make Us Angry

Dealing With Anger | People Who Make Us Angry

How do you stop being angry? How do you stop yourself getting upset and all in a mess?

We’ve all encountered people who make us upset or angry. Life happens. But when you stand your ground nobody can make you anythingin terms of either angry, upset, or frustrated. The only one responsible is YOU because YOU make YOU angry, frustrated and upset. YOU are the one reacting to the negative…

HOZ Snippets

My little video (see below) to illustrate living with a mindset of gratitude, peace & love. 💗 If you are that way inclined, remove all the negativity and bad energy from your space with a white sage smudge. 🌿 Whenever I light the sage stick (or ‘sage wand’ if you choose to speak esoterically) there is something very healing about the gentle smoke that emits from the sage. A sense that the air is…

Sleep!

For a healthy lifestyle, sleep is important. I remember days and nights when I would run on autopilot and forget about sleep!

After feeling drained and lethargic I researched the topic of how to live a healthy lifestyle. I was so enamoured with the subject that I became a therapist and cultivated a wellbeing lifestyle. I learned that I had to listen to my body or else I would not function 100%.…

Don't raise your voice...

Don’t raise your voice…

I think I could be the very few (and the very minuscule) in saying this but the world out there is getting very noisy…and noisy-errrrrr and I ask myself who IS really authentic nowadays?

I switch on the TV to watch a show and there will be subliminal messages trying to change my perspective, I switch on the radio and I have to listen to “shouty people” yelling their opinions over the…

Back From Hiatus

Well, well, well (as Jeremy Kyle would say opening the envelope with the dreaded DNA results to a stunned audience – errm no, of course, I do not watch The Jeremy Kyle Show!! Okay okay…Jezza is only switched on while I’m faffing around – ‘faffing’ being my operative word for organising all manner of chaos!)
