I once tried making my own chocolate hazelnut spread just to see if I can easily get a tastier and healthier version at home. After a long ordeal and a pile of dishes hours later I decided once is enough:-) There are recipes for nutty spreads that make it seem like a piece of cake, but that's not what happened.

While waiting for Mercy On Me*, a new comic book inspired by Nick Cave, I picked up The SICK BAG Song* to get a fresh dose of my favourite artist. I remember the moment I learnt about Nick Cave like it was yesterday. A friend from work was hopping on a bus and just uttered: “You should check out Nick Cave. I think you’d like him.” Off he went and my life was changed, the spider-like shadow of Nick Cave following me around, inspiring my creations, perfectly describing my emotions in all their contradictions, leading me towards some crazy life choices and never leaving me for long.

Whether you've been gooped a long time ago, or the idea of cleaning up your beauty bag has come to you recently, this is for you. I believe that making changes in our beauty/wellness routines, eating and cooking style as well as voting with our purchases matter. When I started my website in 2007, I wanted it to be a resource for more natural alternatives and information otherwise scattered all over the internet. When Gwyneth Paltrow started her website Goop in 2008, I became a subscriber because many of the ideas were close to my philosophy. It has since become a popular resource for all things clean living.

I learned about Tepezcohuite from Salma Hayek who has created her own cosmetic line (Nuance). She has raved about the rejuvenating properties of Tepezcohuite (mimosa tenuiflora,or Mexican “skin tree”). Her products are not entirely about Tepezcohuite and hard to get in Europe, so I decided to search for some other Tepezcohuite products available here. I found a website http://tepezcohuite.co.uk/ and ordered some, the pomade being one of them.
It all seemed wonderfully natural at first glance. Continue reading
This cream is something I came across by accident online and then found a good online UK store that offers it for a good price and even better for the double pack.
It is all natural, only six ingredients. And you could eat them if you wanted to:-)

Chances are that you have already thought about getting a juicer. One gets easily tired of the store-bought liquids barely reminding of fruit and full of various additives. Summer is coming and there will so much fresh produce that can be juiced. If you want to treat yourself to some freshly squeezed vitamins, read further. I have done my fair share of research on juicers, and only then I bought mine. I don't like to buy household appliances on a whim and have them cluttering the kitchen. I was looking for something silent, efficient and not taking too much valuable space.

This Italian product was introduced to me by my brother and I have to say it helped me a great deal when I really needed it. I have had some problems with eczema and when I really had an outbreak and the itching would not stop, I tried this cream, left it on for some minutes, washed it off and finally got some relief.
