Getting started
So, you’re ready to plunge into the genuine essence of health and beauty—not the kind that’s loudly advertised from every corner but rather something more… real.
Grab your favourite cosy blanket, and let’s gently walk through the beginning of this enriching journey.
Where to begin (the basics)
First, dear, let’s clear the slate. Natural health and beauty is not complex or time-consuming. Quite the opposite.
We’re embracing the simple, earth-to-skin steps that could easily become second nature:
- Water (check)
- Sunshine (check)
- Fresh air (check)
- Real food (check)
- And maybe a joyful wiggle in your walk (Why not?).
These elements naturally enhance our wellbeing and inner glow. Surprising? Maybe at first, but truly, they are foundational to our health.
Isn’t it amazing how such basic aspects, often overlooked, can be so transformative? This is our starting point, the bedrock from which we grow.
Everything skincare comes after.
So, please don’t take them for granted. They’re there. They’re free. They’re yours to enjoy.
(Here’s a detailed Guide to Embracing Nature for you for whenever you feel in the mood.)
DIY & SWAPS: Your new best friends
No need for alarm; embracing DIY and product swaps is more straightforward than it seems.
This journey is about simplifying, learning as we go, and yes, it’s taken me a decade to detox my life, but every step is progress, not perfection.
Starting with ingredients you likely already have, we’ll take it one step at a time, together. If the idea of changing everything all at once is daunting, just breathe.
We begin with one small change, building gradually.
This is not a sprint; it’s a marathon—filled with discovery and fun as you experiment with natural ingredients. I absolutely adore it.
Check out MY HANDY LIST OF SIMPLE SWAPS & YOUR DIY STARTER PACK. They would have made my life a lot easier years ago, when I first got started.
So I’m sharing it with you now.
Few brands do it right
And when DIY seems like a stretch, rest assured, there are brands out there doing it right (honest, no nasties, unnecessary fluff, et al.). They are few and far between, so it takes me a long time to find the ones that pass my scrutiny check.
But heck, when you know as much as I do nowadays you simply get fussier over the years.
As soon asi I find one I approve of, it goes into my ETHICAL BEAUTY STARTER PACK which I’m also sharing with you. Consider it your guide to uncovering genuine natural products and brands, without the hassle.
It’s not always easy to find these gems amid misleading claims. I’ve done the groundwork for you because I know exactly what to look for.
