Are you concerned about climate change? Are you concerned that the way you eat affects climate change or, did you change the way you eat, in an attempt to reverse climate change and reduce carbons?

Gawd I HOPE so! I hope everyone is making changes.
One of the biggest changes we have made as a family is purchasing our meat, eggs and dairy from small, sustainable farms and NOT from industrial farms!

"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And it's happening to abou...

When there are natural options readily available like VINEGAR and baking soda, WHY is anyone still using harsh cleaning products???

Is your health not important to you?
Is your family’s health not important to you?

Of course it is!!
It’s time to change the way we clean 🧼 🧽🚿🚽🧴🧺.

I know the whole desire to want a change, and so changing our hair colour achieved the most immediate change!

When I decided to stop doing it, it took eons to grow it out with regular hair cuts.
I’m happy with my natural colour, even with the glitter ( it’s glitter not grey lol)!

I do think that it is important to do what is going to bring you the most joy and if that means colouring your hair until you are comfortable with your glitter, perfect!

Just a word of caution.

Women should be aware of, but not overly alarmed by the findings of a new study, experts say

SUGAR is a simple carbohydrate and is responsible for the majority of ALL our chronic health problems today!!

When you put your mind to it, YOU are capable of cutting it out of your diet for good.

Sugar has ZERO health benefits. Zilch. Nada.

What it does do for us is cause inflammation in the joints and muscles, insulin resistance, obesity, depression, wrinkles in the skin, low libido and sexual dysfunction, stroke + heart attack, diabetes.
It can cause upset in the GI tract resulting in issues like GERD, Chron's diease, and Celiac disease.
Sugar is responsible for inflammation in the lungs resulting in asthma and allergies.
Autoimmunity conditions are intensified when sugar is present in the diet.
If cancer is present in the body, sugar is responsible for feeding it and giving it a reason to stay and grow.

So is it worth ditching sugar for good?? YES I certainly think so!
