A Coffee Creamer is a delicious low-carb, dairy-free, paleo, gluten-free powder enriched with Coconut milk, MCTs and Grass-fed Collagen that can be added to hot and cold drinks, pancakes treats and more. MCTs in coffee creamers add a creamy texture and taste to food and drink. "Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) have been used to overcome metabolic and digestive insufficiencies for decades, including fat malabsorption and pancreatic insufficiency. They are a type of fat readily absorbed to efficiently generate energy and reduce body fat production whilst showing protective effects on the cardiometabolic system. Adding MCT to a morning coffee/tea can maintain the ketosis state of an overnight fast whilst also negating blood sugar spikes and crashes of a morning cup of coffee on an empty stomach.

Adaptogens or adaptogenic herbs are medicinal herbs that have been adopted into Ayurvedic, Chinese and naturopathic medicines. "Adaptogens are non-toxic plants that are marketed as helping the body resist stresses of all kinds, whether physical, chemical or biological. These herbs and roots have been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions, but they’re having a renaissance today. Some, like holy basil, can be eaten as part of a meal, and some are consumed as supplements or brewed into teas. Each one claims to do something a little different, but on the whole, “adaptogens help your body handle stress,” says Dr. Brenda Powell, co-medical director of the Center for Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic’s Wellness Institute. “They’re meant to bring us back to the middle.” (Source: time.com/5025278/adaptogens-herbs-stress-anxiety) Our bodies deal with stress, ranging from a mild reaction to something that

Self-care doesn’t require much time, energy, expense or resources. We can implement this in our lives in various ways and at different times. Whatever works for you. The key is to be consistent and to not talk yourself out of it. Sometimes I squeeze in an extra task, forfeit a moment for myself, and then regret it. This is happening a lot less as the lockdown has taught me how important self-care is, not just for my well-being but for my family too. The Bear Hug pose is a gentle yoga pose. You can do it on the floor, standing, or seated on a chair, with or without a mat. Bear Hug Yoga Pose From a standing position, keep your legs hip-width apart. Make sure your feet touch the ground with all toes, heels and balls of feet on the floor. Give yourself

My family is from Fiji, where Yaqona, also known as Kava, is consumed on a regular basis, go to any resort in Fiji, and you'll most likely be invited to a Kava ceremony where you'll drink Kava from a coconut bowl.

There's no need for a complete pantry and bathroom cupboard overhaul, that is, unless you want to do it. Change takes time, testing, resources and finances.   So whether you're adopting a new diet or body care routine, it's worth noting that replacing or substituting brands you normally use with natural and organic ones can be done one item at a time.   Identify your reason to change before making a change. Understand the why.  Take steps to take self-care, self-nourish and love yourself with amazing products.   For me, the motivation to stop using mainstream, cheap and cheerful brands came after a breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatments and surgeries. I became very conscious of what I was using on my skin, and I slowly made the transition to using natural skin, body, hair care, and makeup. I found that the benefits far outweighed the
