Last week as indeed a challenging week as a mother and parent. Our little one woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t be comforted. Me and my hubby tried everything – water, milk, food, rocking, cuddling, singing, even walking around the room, but her wailing escalated beyond our capabilities to handle it. […]
“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens” Rumi February has been an extremely challenging and draining month. It ended with the passing away of a fit, strong athlete and friend, and not of her own doing. She fought to wake from her coma for 2.5 months after being hit by a car […]
What are the ways, in which you detox your body? Do you detox at all? We just had an incredible holiday period of feasting and drinking over Christmas, so of course I for one, am feeling the aftermath of it. Dull skin, sore back and fingers, parched tongue… not great signs at all. A Spring […]
That time of the month is a pain in the butt for many women, including me. I remember marathon training usually experiencing minor setbacks, during the time of my period. Let’s just call it a less than optimum run day. Such a pain even to go to race day with an achy back or worrying […]

I’m currently delving into the […]
Last week I was down with the sniffles – I’m not sick very often, but when the occasional runny nose occurs it can really throw my week off. Instead of the usual approach, I tried a dilution of Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils. Using organic extra virgin coconut oil as a carrier I made […]
What a crazy hectic week. Sometimes I forget what day of the week it is with so much going on. And one thing that keeps coming back to haunt me is a niggling discomfort in my hamstring that I overused or overextended, back in 2005. It comes especially with vigorous activity or if I’ve upped my […]
About a couple of months back, a good friend dropped off a small vial of essential oil in my mailbox for Luca. Its label read – Gentle Baby. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but little did I know the impact it would make on bubs sleeping habits. In the initial months, […]
