Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Today is a beautiful reminder that love isn’t just something we feel — it’s something that heals us.

❤️Science shows that simple acts like hugging can lower stress hormones and boost oxytocin — the “love hormone” that helps us feel safe, connected, and calm. Even a 20-second hug can support heart health and reduce anxiety. So here’s your reminder: hug the people you love a little longer today.

❤️Expressing love matters too. Studies suggest that sharing appreciation and affection strengthens emotional bonds and even improves immune function. Saying “I love you,” writing a kind note, or speaking gratitude out loud isn’t just romantic — it’s good for your health.

❤️Let’s not forget the power of sharing nourishing food together. Eating wholesome meals with people we care about has been linked to better mental wellbeing, healthier eating habits, and stronger relationships. A home-cooked meal, fresh ingredients, laughter around the table — that’s medicine for the body and soul.

So today, may you:
❤️Hug deeply
❤️Speak love freely
❤️Eat nourishing food joyfully
❤️Surround yourself with people who make your heart feel full
Because love is more than a feeling — it’s a powerful form of wellbeing.

With love 💕

Did you know placing mushrooms in the sun can actually boost your health? Here’s how:

🌟 Vitamin D

Mushrooms are one of the very few non-animal foods that can make vitamin D. When exposed to sunlight (UVB), they convert ergosterol → vitamin D₂, similar to how our skin makes vitamin D. Vitamin D helps with bone health, calcium absorption, immune function, and mood.

💪 Nutritional Upgrade (Basically Free)

Even 15–60 minutes of sun exposure can dramatically increase their vitamin D content. This is especially helpful for people who:

• Get little sun
• Are vegan/vegetarian
• Live in northern climates

🌟Vitamin D₂ from mushrooms contributes to:

•Stronger bones and teeth
•Better immune response
•Reduced risk of deficiency

🍽 Still Works After Cooking
The vitamin D formed is fairly heat-stable, so you don’t lose most of it when cooking.

What to do with mushrooms?
• Use fresh mushrooms (white, cremini, portobello all work).
• Slice them and place gill-side up for best results.
• Put them in direct sunlight for 30 minutes to a couple of hours. You can do this outdoors or on a sunny windowsill.

Make the most of the aussie Summer & get those mushrooms in the sun ☀️

You need to be making this drink this summer ☀️
Start with a large pitcher and fill it with big ice cubes.
Add a few sprigs of fresh mint, pour in 600ml sparkling water, then drizzle with elderflower cordial and a touch of orange blossom water. Add a few slices of dehydrated orange.
Give it a gentle swirl, let the flavours mingle — and enjoy 🧊🌿

A beautiful reminder that hydration doesn’t have to be boring.
Light, refreshing and supportive of everyday wellbeing.

🍊 Dehydrated oranges in your water 🍊

A simple little upgrade that instantly elevates the flavour and makes staying hydrated feel a bit more special.

Not only do they add a subtle citrus taste without added sugar, dehydrated oranges also provide small amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants — plus the aroma alone can make water more appealing (which means you’re more likely to drink it). 😍

Perfect for hot days, festive tables, or when plain water just isn’t doing it for you.

Simple. Refreshing. A small habit that supports hydration in an easy, enjoyable way.

Oh & there is no wasting oranges here 🍊 simply squeeze the off-cuts of the orange into a cup, add water, and sip while the slices dehydrate.

Simple, refreshing, and zero waste.

💛Lara

P.s Too busy to make dehydrated oranges? Check my store & purchase a packet 😉
