My Latest Heath Find - Beam Minerals

My Latest Heath Find - Beam Minerals

The human body has 37 trillion cells and every single cell requires minerals to function. All of them need to be ingested or injected because our bodies cannot make them.

How Far We've Come - Reflections from a Mylk Maid

How Far We've Come - Reflections from a Mylk Maid

Creating Beautiful Abundance

Creating Beautiful Abundance

In our busy, social media crazed world, we can easily fall into the habit of comparison and self-criticism. It is so easy to lose sight of the importance of offering ourselves positive encouragement like telling ourselves that we are beautiful and special and capable of attracting abundance. In fact, I'd argue that the habit of self-criticism (and the criticism of others) can lead us to disease.
