Indulge in a Loving, Nurturing, Self-Caring Ritual Overflowing with Scents of Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang Ylang.

Ahhh Valentine’s Day. Whether or not you revel in the love letters, bouquets of flowers and boxes of chocolate or ‘bah humbug’ your way through the “Hallmark Event”, I can’t help but think that it’s a nice little reminder for all of us to nurture the love in our relationships.

We all have relationships. Whether they are with our family, friends or lovers, they are all sacred friendships that require a certain amount of energy so that they remain positive. One relationship that we often forget about is the relationship we have with ourself. This is the most important of them all, and the one from which all other relationships stem from. It you don’t love yourself, how can you truly love someone else? Continue reading

Loving the lovely Bianca Dye’s Love for Be Genki

Take a listen to the lovely Bianca Dye talking about and testing the acupressure pranamat live on air on her radio show i98FM.



Bianca is in to yoga and meditation and just happens to love us. Here’s a snippet of my favourite bit:
“I love all this self help stuff … and there’s this company called Be Genki who I’m absolutely in love with at the moment. They do all sorts of beautiful stuff, teas, and face products … and I saw this online and I thought I have to get one … it’s called the new self-healing pranamat, helps to relax and revitalize your body and mind. It’s meant to help with depression, headaches, muscle tone.”
Thank you Bianca xx you rock!!! xx

Mike Booth talks about our Shift in Values, AEOS and Pegasus

Very interesting interview with Mike Booth, Chairman of Aura-Soma, the company that manufactures the wonderful AEOS (Active Energised Organic Skincare) and Pegasus Perfume products.

extracts from the interview: “The Cosmetic industry is going towards, beauty comes from the inside, not what you put on the skin. So that’s where I think we can really help, because we’ve been working for nearly 30 years on what is on the inside and the inner beauty. Continue reading

Natural and Organic Perfume Just in Time for the Party Season. Hooray!

Many years ago when starting my deep dive in to the world of natural skincare, personal care and all-things-organic, the first thing I threw out from my bathroom cabinet was the bottle of perfume, vowing never to use conventional fragrances ever again. Reason being, I was horrified by the effect that synthetic fragrances and fixatives had on my health, and wondered how on earth it was possible for companies to legally sell such poison and why it wasn’t common knowledge.

Postcard from Bali

I promise I haven’t forgotten about you … it’s just that I’ve been immersed in work in Bali with the occasional swim at the beach.

I must share with you my best friend from the trip  - Active Energised Organic Skincare Beauty Body Lotion – the PERFECT travel companion for hot destinations to help keep limbs glowing, suntan prolonged and skin hydrated (without that icky sticky feeling). It’s been my savior! x much love x

Become Consciously Aware of What Goes In and On Your Body

October 1st is the kick off day for Vegetarian Awareness Month. A wonderful initiative to help inspire us to think about what goes in our mouth and how our choices can impact the world in which we share. We can all stick our head in the sand, if we so choose, and ignore the reality of what goes on in the world. Or we can do something about it. Continue reading

Made With Love

harvesting of biodynamic spelt crops for use in the Active Energised Organic Skincare range

In today’s world, it seems that we are bombarded with brands making bold claims to be “this” or “that” and nowhere else is this more apparent than the beauty industry.

When we read the label of a product and it claims to be natural, organic and/or made with love, how do we really know if that’s true or not? Continue reading

Begin Each Morning with Dry Skin Brushing and Full Body Moisturising to Promote Beautiful Smooth Skin and Awakening for the Body and Mind

One of the first things I do every morning is dry skin brushing. It’s a wonderful body treatment for exfoliating and promoting beautiful soft skin, and is really worth the extra couple of minutes it takes each morning. If you don’t already practice this daily ritual, give it a go for the next 30 days and judge for yourself just how much softer your skin feels. Continue reading

Nourish, Smooth and Brighten Your Hands, Feet and Nails

Whether you’re freezing your tail off in the Southern Hemisphere or basking in the first days of summer up north, June is the perfect time to revisit your hand, feet and nail-care regime. I’ll be hopping back and forth between Australia and the UK this month, so have put together a lovely little ritual to ensure that my wintery grey days are infused with cheering brightness to elevate my mood; and so that when it comes time to expose my tootsies in sandals they’re looking oh so fabulous and colourful. I’d love to share the ritual with you, and invite you to join me. Continue reading
