I know it’s only September and winter viruses seem a long way off but these days they can strike at any time. The illness I talk about below in my article for Natural Health magazine struck in early summer when I least expected it. I always wonder whether to exercise or not whenever I’m under the weather, which thankfully isn’t …
It’s not often that I find products from the land of my birth so when I found the Africa Organics brand as I was browsing on Love Lula, I was instantly intrigued and of course had to try them. And they are rather special. At the moment the range is quite small consisting of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body …
Do you avoid adding any salt to your food because it’s bad for you? I did this for years but it turns out I wasn’t doing myself any favours. Salt is actually a vital part of our diet and it’s important that we include the right kind of salt in the right amounts. Find out all that you need to …
I just love natural, messy, beachy hair. And it’s a great look for the summer ( although if I’m honest it’s really my all year look ). I think if you have hair at least down to the tops of your shoulders, this is the way to go. I always think the less done hair looks, the more youthful it …
The In-Sync Diet may seem like a regular diet book, but that’s actually not the case. There’s so much more to a healthy weight and a healthy body and mind, than what we eat. Our bodies are made up of incredibly complex systems and they are all connected. If one part is out of sync, it affects all the other …
Radio frequency skin treatments are one of my favourites as they effectively tighten skin, improve collagen production and have no downtime with zero pain factor. The only downside is the cost. While it may be too expensive to indulge in a course every year, I do think even occasional one off treatments are well worth it. I’ve tried a few …
There was a time when I used to meditate every single day and it made a huge difference to my life. In this recent column for Natural Health magazine I look at the incredible benefits of meditation. When you have an injury or don’t use your muscles, they begin to atrophy. This also happens to them with age unless you …
The natural and organic beauty product industry has become huge so there’s obviously a growing market for it. But how do we know what’s really natural and what isn’t? A lot of natural ingredients on labels sound like chemicals and vice versa. Are companies being entirely honest about what they’re producing? Well these are the very questions pondered by Grace …
I do love an antioxidant. I take quite a few of them but astaxanthin is hands down the best of them all. Even I was amazed to find out just how extraordinary it actually is when I started doing research for this latest article of mine for Natural Health magazine. I have to confess I started taking this antioxidant with …
Imagine a weekend where you can go and chill in the woods, rock out at a music festival AND do yoga, meditation, and dance as well as indulge in treatments like massage and reflexology? Sound heavenly? Welcome to FloVibe, the very first festival of it’s kind On top of this there will be workshops of all descriptions and talks ranging …
It’s funny how resistant people can be to organic food, thinking it’s not much different to non organic food. Well I beg to differ. In my latest article for Natural Health magazine I look at the pros and cons. I’ve been walking the organic path for a long time now and in the early days it was a lonely one …
I was thrilled and honoured to be a judge at the International Natural Health & Beauty Awards which took place last week. I was given the task of trying out serums which I was very happy about as I love a serum. And oh boy, did they give me a lot to try out! A few months ago a huge …
