IMPORTANT FIRST SUN EXPOSURE

IMPORTANT FIRST SUN EXPOSURE

Spring has just started. It’s a beautiful sunny day so I expose my skin to the sun for the first time this year. I want to start early so my skin can build up its tolerance (pigmentation) for these vitamin D3 rich rays of goodness […]

ANCESTRAL MOVEMENT FOR THE MODERN FAMILY

ANCESTRAL MOVEMENT FOR THE MODERN FAMILY

I love natural movement but I don’t have the same freedom as before I became a mum. There’s isn’t much time after work, daycare pick up, cooking dinner and bedtime routine. Instead I focus on the movement I can implement while still doing daily tasks and work. I rarely […]

NUTRITIONAL STACKING FOR YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT

NUTRITIONAL STACKING FOR YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT

This is another activity that involves nutritional stacking with natural movement, spending time in nature and grounding/ earthing as well as natural sunlight that strengthens our circadian rhythm and boosts our vitamin D levels. On top of that, we’re moving nutrients from the nutrient rich water onto the land for the garden. It’s a win-win for both the environment and us.

The outlet of our pond that leads the water to the stream running on our property was partially blocked, which resulted in build up of aquatic plants and algae in the pond. Of course some of the vegetation will grow back and that’s fine. We’re not against aquatic vegetation but it was completely taking over the pond.

The aquatic plants have absorbed lots of nutrients during the summer and now we’re “harvesting” the plants including the absorbed nutrients to compost and use on our garden next summer to grow veggies, fruits and berries. It’ll also benefit the stream and natural environment downstream by removing nutrients from the water as the nutrient input has increased for most waterways in modern times.

DON’T THROW AWAY THE END CUTS

DON’T THROW AWAY THE END CUTS

The end of a spring onion that most people throw away, you can plant and they’ll regrow from it. You don’t even need a lot of roots intact on the end piece for it to grow. You can also grow them inside in a pot […]

FIVEFINGERS DEBUT

FIVEFINGERS DEBUT

The Croatian beaches is a perfect place to wear my new FiveFingers.

I know that they look silly but it feels so good to get my toes spread out.

My toes are telling me that they need more of this compared to traditional shoes that keeps them restrained.

The best way of course is to walk bare footed but when that’s not possible FiveFingers and Earth Runners, that I posted about a few days ago, are great options.

EARTH RUNNERS IN CROATIA

EARTH RUNNERS IN CROATIA

Being grounded with my Earth Runners on holiday in Croatia. It’s like being bare footed or a great alternative when the conditions are not for being bare footed. I’ve had these sandals for almost a year now and they help me stay grounded and in […]

MY HANDBAG IS GOING RETRO

MY HANDBAG IS GOING RETRO

Swapping my single use tissues for reuseable tissues.

There’s not really more work other than throwing them in the mashing machine with a load.

I’ve also put a couple of reuseable tissues in my sons bag and in the car. It’s important to have them on hand for them to be useful 🙂

Check out my blog and Facebook page for more tips to reduce plastic and general waste.
