Any guesses on what I’m making this arvo?

Hint, it also has white wine vinegar, and some spices.

Ok so now we do need to be worried.

When our food policy is being dictated by those who have a vested interest in keeping us sick, we need to not just be aware but be angry.

For far too long we have been told to eat foods that are making us sick and debilitated. We have been lied to, poisoned even.

Please please don’t listen to the food “authorities”, their recommended diets are making us sick.

Many industries on new council are ‘associated with significant health harms’, one academic says

Breaking traditions with TM7

Storing avos... the bane of summer eh!

I dunno bout you but it doesn't seem to matter how well I store cut avos, I end up with brown icky yucky bits and generally have to throw a fair bit if not all away.

How timely... along comes this article and wowsers, here's a method I'd never heard of but am sure gonna try it. If it works, gone will be soggy inedible cut avos.

Hint: the solution will surely surprise you too!

How do you keep cut avo fresh for a week? You store it with this very surprising ingredient!

Folks, please don’t get sucked in by these sorts of “must-have” accessories for your Thermomix.

Your Thermie doesn’t need a screen shield. If you spill something on the screen, wipe it off immediately. The TM7 screen is actually extremely hardy and will tolerate drips of water. However, it’s best to practice good hygiene for your Thermies.

I see so many of these ads come up and some of my customers have reached out to see if they should perhaps buy them. Save your money. Keep your Thermie clean and it’ll be fine.

Would you slather your face with snail slime?

I’ll admit I didn’t know this was a thing… apparently it is. Of course, I had to look into it.

Seems reports on its effectiveness differ - it may offer some benefits but more actual medical testing is required. I wasn’t too keen on how it’s derived tho: “One type of mucin only comes out when snails are stressed. To accomplish that, snails are sprayed with a small amount of a chemical or poked with a stick. Once their mucin is collected, they're returned to their habitat. Some processes involve cracking the shells and removing the snail bodies.”

Now I know lots of folks aren’t fond of snails. Some can be quite yummy when doused in garlic butter. For the most part, they’re fairly innocuous and the worst they will do is just eat your plants. However, while I’m not averse to eating them, the idea of just tormenting them to get their mucin doesn’t sit well with me.

I’m not going to be trying snail mucin skin products any time soon cos, well, I have dōTERRA’s IKISE skin products and I know it’s the purest, safest, most effective skin care range on the market, produced ethically and sustainably. So why trade that for snail slime?

Like to experience IKISE? Let’s organise a mini facial for you! DM me to book in.

Just cos you’re on hols doesn’t mean you can’t look after your skin with the best products on the market!

Good skin - plump, soft, glowing, and beautiful at 70 is a doddle with this range!

IKISE… pure, natural, luscious!

Once upon a time I’d have been excited to stay in a hotel with a signature scent wafting through the corridors.

Nowadays tho, knowing just what’s in so many “special scents”: lots of synthetic ingredients, many of which aren’t good for us, some of which will actually cause sometimes quite considerable health issues.

So for those of you reading this who, like me, avoid horrible fake scents, here’s some hotels to cross off your bucket list!

My hidden talent? The ability to sniff out a Kimpton hotel at 50 paces.
