#Repost @dontolmanselfcare (@get_repost) ・・・ It may sound like a conspiracy, but there is a real link between the commercial food industry that profits from the sale of packaged food-less foods and life-less drinks and the very industry that “treats” those who get sick as a result. . .... The treatment of cancer has become a multibillion dollar per year industry and most of it is the result of cancer-causing chemicals in common food items that you’ll find on your supermarket shelf! . . In order to know which foods are cancer-causing, we need to first get clear on which specific ingredients, additives or production methods are carcinogenic: . . ➪ Fluoride: found in soft drinks, sports drinks, toothpaste and baby formula/foods ➪ Pesticides: found in supermarket produce, commercially-produced meat products and fast food. ➪ Artificial Sweeteners and Flavour Enhancers: found in ‘sugar-free’ foods, protein supplements, condiments, certain dairy products, breakfast cereals, jams & spreads and salad dressings. ➪ Artificial Colours: found in baked goods, confectionary, jellies and soft drinks ➪ Carrageenan: found in baby formula, processed meats, commercial almond/rice/oat milks, aloe vera juice and gel. ➪ Partially Hydrogenated Oils: found in margarine, fried foods, frosting and commercial baked goods. . . The solution?... Avoid or drastically minimise packaged and processed foods and take the time to understand the ingredients to ensure they are products you can trust.

This makes me so mad! Junk food should not be cheaper than whole food! The best way to eat around this issue is to prepare your own food. Meal prep is key! It's a long weekend, how many meals can you get made and in the fridge/freezer for days to come? Prepare snacks, have veggies sliced and ready to go. Then you'll be less tempted to grab the "convenient" junk.

When "I" is replaced with "we", even illness becomes wellness. I love this quote. It's so true. Doing things together makes everything easier. This is one of the reasons my classes are so successful because we do it together. We each support each other and we're not alone. We are great influencers of each other and we need to be conscious of how we're influencing. Who can you get out and do something healthy with this weekend? Go for a walk, prepare some food together, or find a practitioner you resonate with who can help you get on track by working together with you.

Touring our little veggie garden. Stopping for snacks on the way. We have an abundance of sorrel at the moment. It's got a delicious lemon flavour that's great in salads. Anyone want a bunch?

Happy 4th birthday Cisco! Thank you for being a special part of our little family. I hope you enjoy your dried trachea!
Thanks Scratch and Sniff Treats, he loved it!

One of the things I love most about being a woman in business is the fantastic networking events for women. Women coming together to share their stories, learn from each other and then supporting each other.
We don't need to compete with each other, we will get further by supporting each other. We each have something unique to offer.
I had an awesome morning with some beautiful ladies, some old friends and some new. Innately Nourished Upon A Moment. I look forward to more o...f this
Thanks to @riverhawkranch for the amazing venue!

I wanted to share this awesome post by fellow Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Shae. Because, well it's awesome and I couldn't have said it better myself

New recipe on my website! It's a grain free, nut free savoury muffin. Great for kids lunch boxes! Give them a try and tell me what you think

Ah Byron and your casual attitude to road rules and safety. On my way to Byron Farmers Market this morning I had a lady pull out right in front of me on a roundabout without looking. Thank goodness for working brakes. I'm very relieved to have this little roller oil in my handbag for moments like this. Back to enjoying the markets!
I hope you have something to calm you easily in situations like this. Sometimes a good breathing technique is handy to know.

Worth a watch. If you're wanting to lose weight, do it with support from a health professional who encourages you to eat real, whole unprocessed foods. Not a company that provides their own branded junk

There are some awesome tips here. Self care is so important. But for the letting go, please don't let go of balloons. They are so awful for the environment! Try a feather or a leaf in the wind.

I had decided not to share this picture because... well... double chin. But you know what, this was a great night with two people I adore and I want to remember it. Yes it's not my favourite picture of me but like many of those photos, I know in the future I'll look back and be glad I have it. We all have our flaws and we can be self critical but don't let it stop you from saving precious memories. I'm on a healing journey. I'm not there yet, but I'm on my way. I still have s...ome work to do and more work on the self love obviously. My double chin doesn't reflect the person I am. • What is holding you back from self love? ••••

Bahaha he cracks me up! He started talking about protein and how good it is for you (definitely my child). Then he started talking about Dreamworld and how they have protein. .. "ah I mean tigers. Mum can I eat the tigers?" 😂😂😂 Cave boy. Watch out Dreamworld Australia tigers!

Have you tried having cold showers? Why would you I hear you ask. I like warm showers. But for the past couple of weeks, I've switched the water to cold for the last minute. It was hard to do to start with but now it's just something I do. I don't think about it because then I might not do it. I just switch it over quickly and bam, I'm awake!
So why would you do it? Well there are many benefits to cold showers. Some of them are: • it wakes you up and makes you more alert (be...tter than coffee!) • emotional control - the cold temperature can help your nervous system become more resilient • increased willpower (ok, you may actually need a little willpower to make yourself do it in the first place) • it can reduce stress and depression • can promote weight loss • improved lymphatic drainage • improved hair and skin (I've definitely noticed this) • boosts circulation • improved muscle recovery
So who's going to give it a go?? Go on...

We found a mulberry tree on the way home from preschool! Berries are his lollies.

News just in... did you know sprinkling healing crystals up your nose reduces allergy symptoms? 😂😂😂
