Sharing my (ad)ventures in sustainability, wellness & education 🤍

Over a million tonnes of clothing are purchased annually in the UK according to a recent WRAP report.

📈 That’s an increase of almost 20% tonnes compared to 5 years prior.

As more people buy more stuff, this means fast fashion is getting faster still.

Stopping for a moment though, if 60% of that is made from plastic and 9️⃣9️⃣% of it is never recycled, that means tonnes of polluting waste going to landfill or incineration per second 🚛

❌ Burying or burning plastic isn’t a sensible strategy.

The only way to get serious about sustainability is a redesign from the start.

For this means using natural organic materials and renewable energy to make our products, each of which is designed to be remade when it’s worn out.

Natural, sustainable, and never to landfill.

One tonne at a time.

↗️ The value of the ethical
clothing market increased by nearly 2️⃣0️⃣% annually in recent years, according to Ethical Consumer Market Report.

👀 As the climate crisis escalates and nature itself begins to collapse, it turns out people notice.

There are simple solutions to the problems in our economy and the biological systems support life on Earth.

🐝 By using natural materials like organic cotton, material growth means plant growth and biodiversity is a consequence of doing business that way.

Similarly, brands like us using renewable energy, if they grow, grow the number of solar panels or wind turbines with them.

💚 That makes our customers part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Hope. This is what it feels like.

A 2017 report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimated that 3️⃣5️⃣% of all microplastics in the ocean came from the washing of synthetic textiles like polyester.

These tiny fibres and flakes of plastics come off clothes in the washing machine and end up in our rivers, lakes, seas.

🐠 Then, after being digested by wildlife, they bioaccumulate through food chains and back into human digestive systems 🍽️.

❌ This is really not good.

🩳 Immediate change is as simple as making clothes from plants, not plastic.

Which is why it’s important for me as a to be able to offer you a clothing and accessories range that uses natural materials like organic cotton.

Natural materials are compatible with nature and they’re a solution to pollution.

🔎 The clue is in the name.

Do you suffer from any of these symptoms?

Anxiety, depression, nervous system disorders and neurological disorders could be indicators of a blockage in the base gateway of your spine.

Our spine is designed to be flexible.

However, a sedentary lifestyle coupled with high expectations, stressful relationships, tight schedules and/or an unhealthy diet puts significant pressure on the body’s physiology.

Day by day, physical, chemical and emotional stress accumulates in the body and can lead to chronic pain and discomfort.

Unlock the body’s power to heal itself using the Spinal Flow Technique, a wellness and healing modality developed by Dr. Carli Axford.

This method works on:

🔸 Restoring the integrity of the body’s nervous system.

🔸 Supporting the body’s natural intelligence to heal and function at a higher level.

How?

🔸 The Spinal Flow technique locates layers of tension along the spine and removes them gently by helping the body focus and expand its areas of ease.

It is a method that I use personally, as well as professionally, and is at the core of my fascination with physiology and human potential. It feeds my love for the wholeness of the human body and I thoroughly enjoyed learning this technique firsthand from Dr. Carli and her team, in Australia.

Tuesday Tips: Nourish the Body

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL MINERALS?

Metals that are necessary for human health are divided into 2 groups:

1️⃣ MAJOR MINERALS including calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and sulphur. These are used and stored in large quantities in the body.

2️⃣ TRACE MINERALS including chromium, copper, fluoride, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. These vital elements are required in smaller quantities.

❌ The body doesn’t produce essential minerals on its own.

🥦🫘🍌 Instead, the body gets what it needs from FOOD, which is why DIET CHOICE is so important for and .

We need essential minerals to ACTIVATE THE BODY’S ENZYMES and support vital roles:

✅ CALCIUM & MAGNESIUM: builds bones & teeth, helps regulate blood pressure, helps muscles to contract, nerves to send messages, and blood to clot.

✅ CHROMIUM: helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

✅ COPPER: helps the body to make red blood cells, regulate neurotransmitters, and clean up free radicals.

✅ IRON: assists hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying chemical in the body's red blood cells) and myoglobin (a protein in muscle cells) production, and helps the body to manage its amino acids, collagen, neurotransmitters, and hormones.

✅ MANGANESE: helps metabolize amino acids, cholesterol, and carbohydrates.

✅ MOLYBDENUM: prevents the buildup of harmful sulfites in the body.

✅ POTASSIUM: balances fluids and helps the body to maintain a steady heartbeat.

✅ SODIUM: balances fluids in the body, helps send nerve impulses, and helps make muscles contract.

✅ ZINC: helps make proteins & DNA, supports the immune system, and helps with wound healing and cell division.

Essential minerals are most POTENT when they come from food. Teach yourself more about mineral dosages, what to eat and when natural supplements are beneficial from Harvard Health Publishing:
