Hi guys
So I thought I would do a few little blog posts starting with products I absolutely swear by, have used for quite a while now and seen some very significant differences in how my skin looks and feels. I will be sharing this information across a few blog posts hence this being titled “Part 1”, as I want to cover every aspect of my healing journey from skincare, to the diet I switched over too, detoxing my home and mind plus much more. By doing it in steps hopefully it will make it easier for you to break it all down. The aim is to hopefully inspire one of you to think twice about what exactly is going into your body, on your skin and how its affecting your overall health.
As most of you would know, I’m huge advocate for ensuring what ever goes in and onto my body is as natural as possible, predominately certified organic and 100% chemical free. It was around 5 years ago I decided to take this step and WOW what a difference it makes to your overall health. Not only did my skin clear right up, it turned back the clock at least 6 years and I have managed to put a thyroid condition (auto immune thyroiditis) and stage 4 endotmetrios in remission. Oh and I also was able to finally fall pregnant after being told I wouldn’t bare children.. no biggy really.. (More on my about page.)
SKINCARE
Divine Woman
The first thing I looked at was my skincare range, making a switch over to a very trusted brand the Divine products, which I knew had the highest amount of Certified Organic ingredients, some of which are gentle enough that they are even edible! I started of by trialling their travel pack, after just one week I noticed my skin was already improving and more plump, then after only a couple of months, my skin transformed into the best it’s ever been. I used to break out pretty much all the time. With a clean diet and using these products, its been over 4 years and not one single break out and my skin seems much smoother.
Eliminating compromised ingredients from our lives supports the future of our bodies, our farmers, our earth, and provides hope for humanity – both current and future. – The Divine Company.
The following are just a few of some of my absolute favourite products in the range >>

DEODORANT
BLACK CHICKEN Axilla Deodorant paste
I then moved on to deodorant.. regardless if you have bad body odour or not, would you really choose between smelling like chemical ridden fragrance over your health? There are so many natural deodorants on the market that not only smell great, are aluminium free, completely natural and work too!!
So I did my research and quickly established that BLACK CHICKEN Axilla Deodorant paste was one of the best out there and one of the few that actually work! I have tried quite a few on the market and they just didn’t cut it. This one only needs to be applied once in the morning and lasted pretty much until the evening!
Why I love this deodorant;
• Contains only natural and certified organic ingredients
• Does not contain harmful Aluminium Salts or compounds
• Is completely invisible upon application
• Does not contain synthetic fragrances
• Contains pure essential oils and botanical extracts
• Does not contain alcohol, Parabens, Propylene Glycol, Triclosans or other harmful chemicals
• Vegan friendly and not tested on animals
• Made with love in Australia
ESSENTIAL OILS – HAIR CARE & DENTAL
So I have been using Young Living for almost 6 months now and I must say I’m loving their products. In particular the essential oils, Thieves household cleaner, toothpaste and body care. I don’t usually blog about something unless I’ve used it for a while however this product is so far so good. I’m only new to the essential old world and getting my head around it all. I think diffusing essential oils in small doses in a well ventilated room can be quite powerful.
And finally..
As for the rest of my beauty regime, I like to keep it very basic. I sometimes even just use coconut or sweet almond oil as a moisturiser for the body with a few drops of ylang ylang oil to add a beautiful scent instead of wearing perfume. Perfume to me is highly toxic (boarder line poison) and I stay well away from it.
As for makeup I still to brands that only use certified organic plant based ingredients or minerals such as Ere Perez or Young Blood.
Anyhow, I hope you found this post useful and somewhat informative. Stay tuned for Part 2.. My most favourite supplements/Superfoods and herbs and why I use them!
