Four Pillars to support
your wellbeing 
Amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday
life, we can often forget the importance of
truly looking after ourselves. 

In order to feel balanced and well, we


need to remind ourselves to look after
our whole-selves; focussing on the pillars
of Nutrition, Mental Health, Sleep and
Physical Wellbeing. 

Only then, can we build the strong


foundations we need for balanced, holistic
health and wellbeing.
Reducing your
toxic load 
It’s easy to think that your cleaning
products or the makeup and
body products you apply every
day, are safe.

Well, did you know the average


woman puts 515 synthetic
chemicals on her body every
single day without even knowing.
Sixty percent of what we put onto
our skin is absorbed into our bodies.* 

Conscious living is all about being


aware of the toxicity we are exposed
to, every single day. Switching to
clean products can seem daunting,
so if you are ready to reduce your
toxic load, try simple swaps; one day
at a time, for a healthier home and
peace of mind.

Replacing your cleaning
supplies with natural
solutions
When you consider the amount of cleaning
products you use in your home, it can be troubling
to learn just how many toxic chemicals we are
exposed to. Off the shelf cleaning products can be
riddled with nasty, chemically-laden ingredients
that are known to interfere with our quality of
breathing, our skin and overall health. 
Making the switch to natural cleaning solutions
can be both empowering and beneficial to
your health; and you don’t need to sacrifice on
time or effort. In fact, making some small changes
to the way you clean your home will save you in
so many ways! 

By switching to natural cleaning, you can:


Reduce toxic chemicals in your home.
Reduce plastic bottles going into landfill.
Reduce chemical products going down the drain,
protecting our environment and waterways.
