Nori, (Japanese for edible seaweed) is produced from Porphyra, a type of seaweed and is widely used in Japan. In that country, three hundred and fifty thousand tons of Nori are produced from over 220 square miles of the sea. The value of this crop is estimated to be in the billions of dollars! This makes […]
Weleda is one of those natural brands that I trust and regularly use. But their range is so vast that I still haven’t tried the majority of their products. I have my favourites though and that includes Weleda Citrus Roll-On Deodorant, one of my favourite natural deodorants. Although I always love to try other brands, […]
I’ve used Epsom salts for the first time many years ago after I injured my knee in a hope that it will speed up my recovery. I heard that using Epsom salts helps to reduce joint aches and it’s supposed to be great for injury recovery too. So they say. Epsom salts are claimed to have […]

While indeed, conception might happen quite quickly, for many people it doesn’t, and for some people getting pregnant is not easy […]
Sometimes you just want to have a cookie. Or a biscuit. It’s a treat, just once in a while (you say to yourself). I am not going to deny it, I love cookies, fresh ones, from the bakery. Who doesn’t? It doesn’t happen very often that I would buy these naughty treats though as they […]
