I spend so much energy talking about and actually detoxing that the last thing I want to do is douse myself in a deodorant full of aluminium, a heavy metal we’re usually trying to get rid of. I’ve tried so many natural but useless deodorants over the years and I’ve finally found some good options, here are my 3 favourites The roll on stick - Wild I almost didn’t bother to try this because a couple of people told me it didn’t work but then some other people were raving about it so I gave it a go. I’m happy to report it definitely has been working for me - through 30℃ heat, through sweaty workouts. I've been using the...

Happy almost holiday and half term (if you’re in the UK/ have school aged kids ☺️) I’m not a royalist and we’re not having an official street party but a few of the neighbours are taking the opportunity to get together, say hi and eat some cake together over the weekend.

Hey love it’s my birthday today! (or it will be when you get this as I’m writing this in advance) We have a pretty set view of what birthday celebrations look like in our culture, lots of refined sugar, alcohol and big groups of people. This is fine if you love all that but on my 43rd trip around the sun I feel more self acceptance than ever and less interest in following the culture than ever so I’ll be celebrating by spending the day with my love going for a walk and then brunch probably here and seeing my friends in smaller groups for dinners.So no big meet ups, overspending, drinking more than I want or refined sugar hangovers...
