As a Wellness Expert, I promote and educate on the trifecta of good health:

Non-toxic Skincare + Holistic Nutrition + Movement

It's a simple formula.

What you put ON your body + what you put IN your body + how you MOVE your body.

It all sounds great doesn't it? It is great. But life is messy and imperfect and obsessing over getting it all right is going to make you CRAZY! 

That nourished glow of a healthy complexion.  You know it when you see it.  There are some simple skincare and lifestyle principles that can help you get there if you really are committed to having healthy looking skin, at any age or stage of your life.

The truth of the matter is that you can use all the natural, beautiful skin care products that money can buy you but unless you are following these simple lifestyle principles to keep your whole body healthy you will not achieve your skincare goals.

I am a Skin Health Coach and a Natural Skincare product formulator. I have studied extensively how to get healthy glowing skin using natural, plant-based ingredients such as what is used in natural skincare products that are tailored for acne-prone skin, as well as the role that nutrition and stress plays when it comes to the skin. 

In other words, I take a holistic view of the skin and look at both what you put ON the skin as well as what goes IN the body. 

I am an expert in Natural Skin Health and love all things to do with the skin, our largest organ. That is why I became a natural skincare product formulator and started my own indie skincare brand (indie means independently owned). I am also a Certified Nutritional Aesthetics Practitioner (CNAP) because I care passionately about how to help women to get healthier skin at all ages, but especially in (peri)menopause.

The concept of self-care has been around since the days of Socrates in 5th Century BC but it seems to me that everywhere I look nowadays in 2022, kind of "post-pandemic-ish", there are messages of self-care popping up. Is it overused? Misunderstood? Or the necessary messaging that we all need nowadays? 

While I couldn't agree more that if ever there was a time for self-care: IT IS NOW. The pandemic taught us that our time on earth is fragile, misused and misunderstood. Our entire world and being was turned on its side and we had to learn to question everything. 

But, what really is Self-Care anyway? 

"First off, the Greek word for "care" would have been understood to include meditation, regular fasting, prayer, education, music, exercise -- anything that can be said to feed the soul.

Thigh chafing is a real struggle that almost all women face, no matter what size body you have or how large or small your thighs are. #chafinghappens

I was recently on a beach vacation in sunny Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and walked 2kms on the beach in my bikini to visit some friends at a neighbouring resort. By the time I arrived, my thighs were on fire with the worst thigh chafing I have had in a long time. Lucky for me, my friend uses my favourite natural cream deodorant and was able to help me out and calm my rash very quickly! 

Yes, I used natural deodorant to make it all better and to prevent further chafing for the walk back along the beach which I was dreading badly from pain.
