Did you know it's dead easy to DIY so many househo Did you know it's dead easy to DIY so many household cleaning items making them much cheaper than store bought alternatives AND keeping your family and environment free from toxic chemicals . Take good ol' All-Purpose Cleaner for example . All you need is: 1/4 cup white vinegar 3/4 cup water 30 drops essential oil (I'm using lavender and eucalyptus in this batch) (or if you don't have essential oils pop in some lemon rind and rosemary sprigs and let it infuse for a few days before using) Combine the above ingredients together, pour into a spray bottle, shake, and use . Use it all over the house - kitchen counter, remove hard water stains, trash cans, wipe away wall and kitchen door smudges, and much more . If you’re keen to learn everything there is to know about living low-tox come and join Alexx Stuart's Go Low Tox course which kicks off this Monday . The first time I did it I was blown away by the depth of knowledge shared by Alexx and all the amazing changes I was able to implement which benefitted my health, my family and the planet . I can't wait to refresh my knowledge in this upcoming round and be surrounded by a wonderful and supportive, like minded community who are all passionate about reducing environmental toxin exposures in day to day life . Find out more about Go Low Tox via the link in my bio . . . . . #lowtox #lowtoxliving #chemicalfree #gonatural #chemicalfreehome #toxinfreelife #toxinfreelifestyle #toxinfreefamily #toxinfreemama #reduceplastic #reduceplasticwaste #greencleaning #naturalcleaning #chemicalfreeliving #naturalingredients #selfcare #healthfirst #motherhoodrising #younglivingessentialoils #wellnessjourney #nochemicals #toxicfree #toxicfreehome #toxicfreeliving #naturalliving #naturalproducts #diy #naturaljourney #lowtoxjourney
I've been asked about deodorants and which ones I I've been asked about deodorants and which ones I use by a few of you after my post this week about what to look out for in sunscreens and which are my top 3 . As a family we don't use an antiperspirant (which stops the sweating) because they are full nasty chemicals, especially aluminium and parabens which I definitely don't want swimming around my family's bloodstream thanks! . Instead, my family and I use the two products pictured @lavilinstraya and @younglivingaunz and they work brilliantly for us . But I will say if you're interested in keeping yourself and your family as safe as possible you should 100% join Alexx from @lowtoxlife Go Low Tox course which kicks off on Monday 19th October for the last live round of the year. . I personally can't wait to join this round and get updated on everything I should steer clear of and all the products Alexx recommends. She has done all the time consuming leg work, research and due diligence which takes all the guesswork out of it for me. Plus, her low tox community is one of the best and supportive groups you can be a part of. .

Variety is the spice of life! ⁠ ⁠ And when it Variety is the spice of life! ⁠ ⁠ And when it comes to lunchboxes it's a good idea to think outside the box because from experience kids get very bored with repetitive food and it's very frustrating when their lunchboxes come home uneaten. ⁠ ⁠ More importantly, while our kids grow and develop at the speed of lightening, we need to ensure a wide variety of nutrition to ensure their proper nourishment.⁠ ⁠ My philosophy has always been to try to make each mouthful count nutritionally to ensure optimal health and wellbeing.⁠ ⁠ ⁠So with a bit of weekend prep you can load your kids lunchboxes with exciting things like this Date and Orange Overnight Oats which is choc-a-block full of goodness and is something a bit different for them to look forward to.⁠ ⁠ Have you got my Easy Wholefood Lunchboxes ebook? It has plenty of kid-tested and approved, delicious and nutritious recipes.

Hasn't the weather been just heavenly in Sydney th Hasn't the weather been just heavenly in Sydney this past week! As the weather warms up here in Australia and we are more at risk of getting sunburnt, I wanted to share exactly why I avoid chemical sunscreens (not to mention what it does to our oceans) and my Top 3 family favourite safe sunscreens. I break it all down and make it easy for you to understand and decide. But don't forget to give your body a chance to get a good dose of Vitamin D too! I'll try to do a post soon on all the reasons why! ⁠ ⁠ For now, head to my bio for the sunscreen article.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #protectourreefs #coralreefs #reefsafesunscreens #reefsafesuncare #lowimpactliving #plasticfreeliving #zerowasteliving #protectouroceans #healthyskintips #safeskincare # #suncream #sunlotion #naturalsunscreen #saveyourskin #sunsafe #suncare #toxicfree #lowtoxsuncreen #slipslopslap #chemicalfreesunscreen #summervibes #sydneysummer #beachlife #naturalskincare #chemicalfree #nontoxicsunscreen #beachbum #beachready #mineralsunscreen #healthtips

On the weekend my daughter made my Choc Fudge Crun On the weekend my daughter made my Choc Fudge Crunch and exclaimed that it is the best recipe I've ever come up with! . Don't you love this gorgeous little photo she took of it too ❤️ . The recipe is in my bio if you'd like to give it a go. It's a very quick no bake recipe with just 8 healthy ingredients and makes a handy stash to keep in the freezer. . . . . . #healthyfoodshare #thekitchn #healthyfudge #easyrecipe #feedfeed #chocolate #dailyfoodfeed #foodblogfeed #healthytreat #todayfood #lovefood #instafood #realfoodtreat #foodblogger #whatsonmyplate #chocolate #treatyourself #treatyoself #smalljoys #stayathome #recipeblogger #plantbaseddessert #funwithfood #plantbased #pickyeaters #healthyrecipes #glutenfree #grainfree #healthykids #realfooding

Maybe she thought they would all be for her? I just gobbled one down for breakfast in fact 😋She did such good a job of them!

Someone told me the other day they make my Oven Fried Chicken all the time and so back on the weekly meal plan repertoire it goes!⁠ ⁠ My favourite thing about this recipe is that it's full of flavour and zing but without the heavy, greasy aftermath of deep-fried chicken or the mess of deep frying.⁠ ⁠ Grab the recipe here: https://brendajanschek.com/recipe/oven-fried-chicken/or via the link in my bio.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #ovenfriedchicken #backinthekitchen #chickenrecipe #chickendinner #chickenlover #friedchicken #feedfeed #dinnertime #dinnerideas #dinnertonight #dinnerisserved #healthy #easydinner #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #ilovechicken #familyfavourites #familydinnerideas #getcooking #easydinnerideas #familyrecipes #feedingmyfamily #easydinner #whatifeedmyfamily #healthydinner #healthydinnerideas #healthymealideas #nutritiousfoods #healthyaussies
I'm so excited! Today this beautiful soul @crystal I'm so excited! Today this beautiful soul @crystalbaileyandco is taking me shopping to choose everything I need to decorate my house once the renovation is complete. When I say everything, I mean everything, because I either sold or gave to charity all the furniture that was in the house! Fresh beginnings are so exciting aren't they?! Especially when someone like Crystal is helping you because you may be good at lots of things but decorating and styling just ain't one of them 😉 . . . . . #coastal #coastalhome #moderncoastal #boholuxe #instadaily #instahome #instahomedecor #homeinspo #homeinspiration #instagramhome #whiteandwood #beachvibes #summervibes #neutralstyledhome #neutralstyle #doingneutralright #coastalhomes #coogee #decorating #styling #homestyle #homedecor #interiors #interior #homeinterior #style#styling #myhome #interiorstyling #homedesign
