~ LEAVE YOUR SHOES AT THE DOOR ~

I recently read an article about a study that was done on shoes and what was underneath them 🤢 the first thing that came to mind was “I need to stop the 5 second rule” 🤣

In all seriousness though, it was pretty gross. I’m all for germs and getting our immunity up by being exposed to certain things, however, I’m not overly keen on my shoes being dirtier than a public toilet seat and having that walked through the house.

In my house, with two young kids, there is a lot of lying on and sitting in the floors. This is one small change I think I am willing to make to try keep the p**p particles off my floors!

Extract from the study:
“Bacteria found on the footwear included E. coli, a source of urinary tract infections and diarrhea, as well as other bacteria causing pneumonia (Klebsiella pneumonia) and respiratory tract infections (Serratia ficaria).”

I’m curious, do you wear shoes inside?

~ WELCOME ~

Now that we have bought our very first home, I am taking active steps to improve our ‘home health’. We’ve been pretty conscious of our home environment for a couple of years now by eliminating chemicals and swapping out products like our laundry detergent (check out my previous laundry posts). There are so many facets to having a healthy home. This really hit us hard earlier in the year where my hubby suffered from mould illness and had quite severe symptoms. I started digging a little deeper into the world of Building Biology and now that we have our very own home I am going to start implementing some changes which were initially quite hard to do living in a rental.

Come with me over the next couple of weeks/months and learn as I learn. Perhaps you can make some healthy changes of your own 😉

I’ve been a bit quiet on here over the last couple of months, and this is why!⁣
⁣
It has been an incredibly stressful and overwhelming time trying to buy our very first home. ⁣
⁣
We’ve worked hard. ⁣
We fought hard. ⁣
It took us 8 years to get here. ⁣
We finally did it. ⁣
We get to call this home ❤️⁣
⁣
I cannot wait to have everything unpacked and to settle and feel ‘normal’ again. ⁣
⁣
Here’s to getting rid of rental payments and paying off our mortgage 🥂 ⁣

The world has brought on a heaviness. One that I haven’t been able to shake for weeks now.

So I lit some incense. What will it do? No effing clue, but it felt good to walk around the house whispering to the universe.

Human connection. It is so important. Incredibly lucky to have this community ❤️

~ RECOVERY ~

For those of you following along, you may know that I had surgery on my wrist nearly 2 weeks ago now. It was elective, and long overdue.

Recovery looks different for everyone and my frustration levels are right up there 🤣 The estimated recovery is going to be 6 months 😳. I have been so lucky so far not to have had any pain since having the surgery, which also means I didn’t have to take the Endone that was prescribed.

Before we jump into what I have done as part of my recovery, an important note that my recovery is purely my own and I have trusted my intuition and my body. If you are having or have had surgery definitely chat to your trusted health practitioner for advice.

My Recovery plan👇🏻

👏 Slower days. No expectations. Rest.

👏I have taken my lifelong vitality supplements daily which consist of an energy complex, a nutrient complex and essential fatty acids.

👏 I have tried to drink at least 2l of water everyday. This is hard in winter! But a nice warm cup of green tea does the trick to.

👏 Bone Broth everyday folks. I absolutely love a good broth. The brand I am enjoying currently is Nourishing Wholefoods. I have a recipe in my feed for anyone wanting to make their own.

👏 A clean anti-inflammatory diet. Food such as salmon, avocado, broccoli are great!

I also saw a beautiful friend of mine yesterday who I haven’t seen in years for some Lymph work. Kath also did some Cranio therapy and I was truly blown away by my emotional response I had. The whole appointment was just WOW. I walked out feeling like I had been reset! With all of the toxins built up in my body after surgery I would recommend this as part of any treatment/recovery plan! If you are on the Sunny Coast get in touch with her http://ksrtherapies.com.au/

I am really glad I had the surgery and I am so looking forward to getting back to normal while giving my body the best support it needs to help during this recovery.

So you are wanting to get started with essential oils, but not sure where to actually start? Here are some tips 👇🏻⁣
⁣
🌿 Know where and how your oils are sourced. doTerra partners with farmers all around the world, most of which are in developing countries. By partnering (instead of just buying the land from these communities) doTerra helps to elevate communities out of poverty. ⁣
⁣
🌿 Purity matters. Unfortunately, not all essential oils are made equal and will contain impurities and synthetic fillers, which can cause significant harm to you and your families health. DoTerra put all their oils through rigorous scientific testing to ensure every single bottle is free from contaminants. Make sure your essential oil is Therapeutic grade. ⁣
⁣
Want to see the purity of doTERRA oils for yourself? Every single bottle of doTERRA oil comes with a quality ID. Use the ID number on the bottom of your bottle to view the third-party test results for that batch of oil by heading to www.sourcetoyou.com⁣
⁣
🌿 Essential oils are safe! As long as you are using a pure therapeutic grade essential oils, these oils are safe to use for you and your family. ⁣
⁣
Children - make sure that you follow a safe dilution guide. ⁣
Ingesting - check to see if you are able to ingest particular oils as not all of them can be taken internally. ⁣
Pets - find Dr Janet Roark on the socials for safety info and amazing resources when it comes to using essential oils around your pets. ⁣
⁣
So where to next? Reach out to me and let’s chat about your needs. There is currently a 20% off Promo for starter kits in Australia and New Zealand which is a great to get started.⁣
Not in AU/NZ, no probs! I have customers in my community from all around the world, including my mum who is in Ireland! Reach out and I would be happy to help you get started.

~ MOISTURE ~ ⁣
⁣
If you have been following along recently, you will know that we are currently dealing with a massive mould issue. 🤮 ⁣
⁣
We are waiting for our dehumidifier to be delivered to get the moisture levels down in the house but as a little extra I have popped a couple of these little cloth bags filled with Bicarb into our wardrobes to dry draw out some moisture in these spaces. ⁣
⁣
I have got a couple drops of DoTerra’s Purify in these ones ✌🏻 ⁣
⁣
If you have any tips on mould for me, drop them here please 👇🏻
