I start each morning with…
* A tablespoon of ACV (apple cider vinegar) in a glass of warm water.
The natural and/or organic products I cannot live without in in my make up bag are…
*Kosmea rose hip oil (kosmea.co.uk) is multipurpose and clean.
*Ere Perez mascara is amazing, it’s made from almond oil and natural pigments, I love their powders which are made from rice bran oil too (ereperez.com).
*The only cleanser I use is one from the Jojoba Company (thejojobacompany.com).
*My organic deodorant from Eco Tan (ecotan.com.au) which has no aluminium or parabens in it and actually works.
My secret natural beauty trick is…
*Not eating sugar. When I first quit the first thing people (and myself) noticed is that my skin completely softened and wrinkles disappeared. This is something people always notice when they first quit. Sugar reacts with proteins in the body, leading to a range of health problems while accelerating the ageing process.
My positive mantras are…
*Choose happiness.
*Where the mind goes, the energy flows. I apply this to any situation where I’m slightly fearful. Focused passion can get you just about anywhere.
Books on my reading list which inspire me are…
*Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl.
*Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions.
My favourite healthy snacks are…
*A tablespoon of organic virgin coconut oil, sometimes mixed with half a teaspoon of raw cacao. It’s the best sugar cravings buster and metabolism booster.
My weekly exercise routine consists of…
*Waking up and doing some form of exercise – every day – usually dependent on the weather and my mood.
*Everything from swimming across Bondi beach to a power yoga class to a walk around the harbour.
I can’t travel without…
* Earplugs!
At the moment I am focussing on…
*Relaxing my eyeballs. Seriously, it’s a trick that helps me remain calm when I’m becoming too intense.
A healthy lifestyle is important to be because…
*It keeps the head clear so that you can get things done.
