Spring is just around the corner, and so are longer, brighter days. It’s such a happy time of year for me as the flowers are blooming and everyone seems to be a little bouncier as we head towards sunnier days. I’m constantly convincing myself that everyday the days feel just that tiny little bit longer, and before…
Recently I’ve been lucky enough to try out a New Zealand made skincare brand called Virtuous Skincare. The brand is the brainchild of Lisa West, a qualified Naturopath, Herbalist, and Theraputic Massage Therapist who creates her skincare line from her home in New Plymouth. Virtuous Skincare’s main product is the Skin Repair Cream – a nourishing cream…
Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favourite indulgences, and when I went dairy free I wanted to still be able to enjoy this delicious baked treat…. but without having to break my no dairy diet. I did a little looking around on the internet, but some recipes contained ingredients I either didn’t like (such as peanut…
I never really knew a lot about the importance of probiotics until recently, and now I feel like I’ve throughly incorporated them into my life. Not only have I been taking probiotic tablets to help with gut health, I’ve also been incorporating probiotics into my skincare routine. Say hello to one of my favourite new skincare products,…
