About Me

I am someone who has always carved her own path, sought the truth in all things, never followed the herd. This strange and interesting journey, my travels round the world, even motherhood- all of these have brought me close to Nature. I want my life's work to be a renewal of our closeness to the Earth that nurtures us, a closeness that the pace of modern living has all but destroyed.

Welcoming the rains!


The skies have burst upon one of the hottest summers of all time!!!! Hope all you beautéful people are enjoying the soak!
Time to start thinking about altering your personal care routine to accommodate this weather change:
For starters, don’t skip the sunscreen just because the sky is overcast! The harmful uv rays can penetrate cloud cover and are still very much present and having a field day ageing your skin, rain or shine.
The nice thing about all the humidity is that you sweat out all the toxins. But don’t forget to replace the water lost!
Continue using a light moisturizer all day and night.
Use a pore refining face pack once a week.
Spritz on a little freshening toner. Better still, carry one in your purse or the glove compartment of your car on the go.
If you can predict when it’s going to rain by the frizz in your hair…despair not! A little dab of olive or coconut oil, or a creamy, moisturizing leave-in conditioner will keep it in check.
Love the smell of wet earth? Infuse earthy, woody, citrusy scents in your bath with an aromatherapy bathing bar to get Nature into your bath!
Wear bright colors to counteract the grey of the skies and uplift your mood.
Rejoice, turn your face up to the downpour, dance in the rain, don’t curse the traffic jams!
