Neal's Yard Remedies Organic -Sarah Hardy

Hi there, hands up if you know what phthalates are? If you have never heard of them, let me explain a little. Phthalates are chemical compounds that are added to many types of products to make them more pliable, they are often called plasticizers. Sadly, they are everywhere in our environment but in the last few years there have been real concerns that they are responsible for many health conditions in the last few decades. Would you believe that they are used in many beauty products and everyday toiletries all around the world? If you don't believe me, please do your own research to see the extent of how damaging they can be.

This is why I choose to use Neal's Yard products because I know that they are certified organic, and they don't contain any chemical nasties. Although I will never be able to escape phthalates in their entirety as they are everywhere around us, at least I know I'm not applying them to my skin where 60% of any product is absorbed into my body.

Anyway, back to the original topic of this thread which is this very interesting interview. If you're pushed for time you can listen about the phthalates from about 25 minutes onwards. 🙂

It's aromatherapy awareness week until June 11th. Do you know all about the positive benefits of using aromatherapy oils? Over the next few days I will explain and share some information about our Neal's Yard essential oils.
Do you already use essential oils? If yes, which one is your favourite and why?
I personally find it difficult to choose a favourite because there are so many that I am drawn to. If I had to choose one, it would have to be a blended one by Neal's Yard called 'De-stress', it contains Neroli and Ylang-ylang and it smells like heaven to me. I use it in an e diffuser every morning because it helps to wake me up and just feel happy.
I also have it blended in some grapeseed oil and I spray it on my skin before bedtime because it helps me to relax. We provide many other relaxing oils that would be brilliant for this purpose also. Why not take a look at my website.
If you would like to experience some of the essences for yourself, just let me know and we can arrange a date.

For now, I will leave you with this fabulous offer that we have at the moment. Our e diffuser prices start from £58, with the Soto aroma diffuser as shown (The free essential oil has to be worth £20 or below).

Do you know why organic beauty products really are the kindest products for ourselves? Hopefully this will explain it. ❤️

What does 'Organic' mean in beauty? 🌱​💄⁠
⁠
Organic refers to a way of farming that works with nature, not against it, without the use of synthetic fertilisers and herbicides. It’s rooted in preserving the vitality of our soils to propagate biodiversity, which has far-reaching benefits for our health and wellbeing, animals and wildlife, climate, people and planet.⁠
⁠
An extension of this, organic beauty is the formulation of cosmetic products using organically farmed ingredients. The term has garnered popularity over the years, but the problem with its excessive use lies in the law; there are no legal guidelines for organic products in the beauty industry. That said, there is an easy and reliable way to decipher organic claims – through independent bodies and trusted certifiers with transparent and exceptionally high standards, whose logos you’ll find on the packaging. ⁠
⁠
Why choose Organic products? 🌿⁠
The pros of organic skincare are often overlooked compared to food, but their advantages mirror one another. It’s already widely acknowledged that organically farmed ingredients positively affect our world’s biome. For skin, the beauty of organically grown ingredients is that they are rich in beneficial vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which work alongside the body’s natural abilities to increase collagen production, prevent free radical damage, and improve blood and oxygen flow to the skin.

I thought this might be useful also. ❤️🐝

Well hasn't the sunshine been glorious today?! I have to admit that I was indoors for the morning, but it was totally worth it. I attended a local wellbeing event, and I'm so glad that I did. I met some lovely people and I have some exciting times ahead. I enjoyed a very informative mini facial workshop with the lovely Gemma from Neal's Yard, and my skin was treated to a wonderful array of products. I also treated myself to an Indian head massage. Plus, I met another local lady who I knew of but had never met. It was Adrienne Green, who gave me a free taster session of the balance procedure, which was very interesting and I'm looking forward to learning more about it and using the procedure in my life.

Anyway, after my total relaxing morning, I haven't done much else to be honest, apart from relaxing in my garden. It's quite unusual for me, not to be busy doing something! Maybe I needed it, who knows? 🤷

Also, as it's World Bee Day today (May 20th), I just wanted to remind you of this special offer that ends very soon. I am placing an order tomorrow, so if anyone local to me would like to place an order, please message me....thank you. 🐝
p.s. this gift set normally retails for £26.

Are you ready for some Bee facts? 🐝

1. Albert Einstein famously said, 'If bees are extinct, the human race will become extinct also, within four years.

2. There are 270 species of bees in the UK- 80 of them are under threat and 30 of them are under serious threat of extinction.

3. Since the second world war, 97% of our meadows have been destroyed. Yes I know, that's almost unbelievable is it not? This has been caused due to commercial farming and house building.

4. Bees cannot survive without their natural habitat.

5. Neal's Yard (alongside other companies also), were instrumental in fighting to get neonicotinoids (neonics) banned in the UK. Neonics are a type of insecticide that if sprayed on crops, will be eaten by the insects and us!! The neonics cause insects to be poisoned, paralysed and then they die. They are still used in parts of the US and Europe and also in the whole of China.

5. Honey bees and bumblebees are the social ones. They live in hives and they have a Queen Bee. They have male drones and the worker bees are female.

6. A honey bee provides just one teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

7. In its lifetime, a bee can fly the equivalent of flying around the world.

8. A Queen Bee lays up to 2,000 eggs in her lifetime.

9. Bees love colour, so if you want to attract them into your garden, plant lots of colourful flowers, especially blue ones, as they love these.

10. As you probably know already, honey is very healing. A local honey can help to ease hay fever symptoms. This is because the honey contains bee pollen which gives an 'immunity' to the person who ingests the local pollen in their area. A like for like cure if you will. Raw, organic honey is the best choice for this purpose.

I hope you enjoyed those fun facts? I must buzz off now to walk the dog. Thank you for reading. 🙂
