f transformation could bring photo credit 1 paulstarpics via photopin cc photo credit 2 jurvetson via photopin cc life mid life crisis transformation friendship beauty life s questions passion immortality life empty nesters 4 it s that soup eating slipper wearing time of year july 4 2014 katboyde i ll be the first to admit that winter is not my favourite season i hate the cold it makes me want to curl up in my warm blankets and stay there all day it makes me less inclined to exercise and less likely to want to go out of the house whenever this time of year rolls around i think of the bears yes i think the bears are on to something stock up on food and then hibernate for the winter brilliant however as you and i both know i am not a bear i am a human a wife and a mother so there will be no hibernating for the winter season for me damn shame so now that we have established i can t just curl up in a ball and ride winter out i thought i better start looking at the bright side of the season so here is what i do love about winter slippers and winter pyjamas if only i could live in them 24 7 i would be loving winter even more soup i want to write soup but i really don t like soup all that much it doesn t really feel like a meal to me and although it is nice and hot i m just not really a soup girl although saying that jamie oliver s seafood chowder from woolies passes my fussy eater food test hot pools when i lived in nz i loved going to the hot pools the one in my home town is salt water so you get to sit in the beautiful warm water and also get all the benefits of the salt lovely however these type of hot pools are not so prevalent here in newcastle australia so a hot bath will have to suffice slowing down i always feel the need for slowing down and taking time to reflect on things when winter comes around and through doing so i always discover how grateful i am this year i am particularly grateful to my friends my friends who have cooked me meals looked after my children shared a bottle of wine and listened to me when i ve been feeling lonely and home sick so as i sit here in my slippers with a hot cup of tea i would like to thank winter for blessing me with a season to sit contemplate and be grateful for all that i have what are your favourite things about winter photo credit blmiers2 via photopin cc friendship winter soup slippers gratitude friends reflection jamie oliver hot pools 4 where s dot june 21 2014 katboyde after a couple of weeks cooped up in the house with sick children a day out with my friend dot was just the tonic i needed today we headed to newcastle s east end i haven t spent a lot of time around here so was excited to have a mooch around after searching the narrow streets for somewhere to park the car we headed off to find a nice spot for a coffee after a short stroll down hunter street we ended up at soul foods where we enjoyed a coffee sweet potato chips and bread and dips yummo our next port of call was the hunt and gather markets at pacific park this was my first visit to the markets and i had a fantastic time wandering around the stalls which included clothing designers mens fashion labels accessories leather ware jewellery flowers soap and more plenty of people had bought a picnic rug so they could lie in the sunshine and listen to the live music i was mainly looking today put did purchase a heavenly smelling soap and of course a couple of doughnuts to take home to hubby who was minding the children dot is one of those salt of the earth types she is pregnant with her fourth child meaning by the time christmas arrives she will be mum to four kids under the age of 5 however this doesn t slow her down she surfs cycles competes in iron man competitions and renovates her house in her spare time however you would never know all this because dot is humble and never one to brag about her achievements she truly is an amazing lady and an inspiration to me what a lovely way to enjoy the shortest day of the year winter solstice thanks dot let s do it again sometime friendship hunt and gather markets newcastle east friendship winter solstice pacific park soul foods hunter street newcastle 0 time to green my routine june 18 2014 katboyde i have known for some time that there are nasty chemicals lurking around in my beauty products but until recently i hadn t taken the time to find out what they were and why i should be bothered about them that was until this happened a couple of months ago i noticed that the skin was starting to flake off the palms of my hands so i just put it down to dry skin and starting applying various lotions and potions in the hope it would solve the problem however it didn t and the problem just got worse soon strips of skin were peeling off my hands and they were getting red raw and itchy not pretty to look at and definitely embarrassing when having to shake hands with people the strange thing was that the problem was confined to the palm of my hands everywhere else was fine this lead me to conclude that something my hands were coming in contact with on a daily basis must be the cause of my problem which lead me to take a closer look at my body wash facial wash shampoo conditioner and the dishwashing liquid i was using guess what they all had in common sodium lauryl sulphate sls which was listed as the 2nd or 3rd ingredient on the list meaning it was one of the main ingredients in the product s make up when i investigated sls further i found that it is a known skin and eye irritant and is often used to test other products against to see if they will soothe the irritation so that made sense as to why the skin was constantly peeling off my hands this must be harsh stuff because my skin is pretty resilient and i have never reacted like this before sls is highly effective in removing oily stains and residues and is therefore used in engine degreasers floor cleaners etc it is used in products such as shampoo and body washes for its thickening and lathering effects apparently large concentrations of sls can also act as an effective shark repellent source wikipedia all good to know but not really what i m after in a beauty regime as well as sls i started looking at the other ingredients listed on the products i was using and found things such as parabens propylene glycol mineral oils urea triethanolamine edta just to name a few if you have a look into these chemicals alongside others such as talc you will see there are some pretty unpleasant side effects which can do some long term damage and potentially have some devastating effects on your health there are many good sites where you can find detailed information on the ingredients in the products you are using here are a couple of examples safe cosmetics australia paula s choice sarah wilson s list so why make the change eye makeup can be absorbed by your highly sensitive mucous membranes hair sprays perfumes and powders can be inhaled irritating your lungs lipstick is licked off and swallowed sunscreen and lotions are absorbed through your skin shampoo can run into your eyes or your baby s eyes laundry detergent in small amounts comes in contact with your skin via your clothes source dr mercola so for me personally i first of all needed to stop using sls as it was not only irritating my skin but making it peel off secondly i discovered how easily these chemicals were absorbed into my body via the products i was using and the possible damage they could do to my health therefore in my endeavour to use products without these harmful ingredients i have started reading the ingredient lists not always believing the natural or green on the labels and looking for cruelty free products that haven t been genetically modified easy right not so far stumbling blocks bye bye bubbles it is usually the sulphates in the product that make it foam up and become nice and bubbly without these the products often have a more watery consistency this doesn t mean it doesn t clean as well it just feels different i am getting used to it but it took me awhile to let go off my bubbles price point i have found many products especially skin care and make up that looks divine but the price is just too much of a stretch especially when they only come in teeny tiny bottles performance many products that i use for a specific purpose need to be effective otherwise there s no point using it for example i just looked at the cream i am using for my cracked heels and noticed it contains urea arrgh any suggestions for an alternative for this would be much appreciated no one stop shop i have found i have had to shop around and find different products from many different places for example i use a sukin cleanser and moisturiser but didn t love their body wash and have read some pretty average reviews for their hair products so good i could eat it some beauty products smell so fantastic you could just devour them lucky i didn t once i found one what was actually in them however i do love a product that smells delicious and now that i know not to trust the fragrance label as many ingredients can be hidden under the general fragrance heading i try to find products containing essential oils as these have many holistic health benefits as well as smelling divine trial and error so far in my endeavour to green my routine i have been using a variety of different branded products with different price points obviously i m all for affordable but i still need the products to work and to feel and smell nice these are some of the products i m using at the moment and my thoughts about them sukin i am currently using the foaming facial cleanser and moisture restore night cream i am enjoying both of these products and am finding the moisturiser is lasting a long time the price is very affordable and it is easy to find being available in most pharmacies at least in australia anyhow i like that it is australian owned and made 100 vegan not tested on animals and 100 carbon neutral nak i am currently using the hydrating shampoo hydrating conditioner and ultimate treatment conditioning this a salon brand so is a bit more pricey but it smells lovely and has that salon shampoo feel saying that the day after washing my hair it definitely needs another wash thursday plantation i am also trying this brand of shampoo as a cheaper alternative to my salon brand i don t mind it but it doesn t feel as luxurious as the nak shampoo it does seem to work well when i am suffering from dandruff though argan oil i have read some good things about this and am thinking about trying out some shampoo and conditioner watch this space organic surge i am currently using the lavender meadow body lotion this smells beautiful and is really does seem to do the job it is available at david jones maybe a little pricey if you use a lot of body moisturiser but i love it couleur caramel i am in the throws of tackling my make up bag and trying to replace everything with safer alternatives i m very excited about my first purchase a couleur caramel concealer this product has won awards and is getting some great reviews an added bonus it that i got a free eyeshadow with my purchase i love free stuff this along with some other great natural make up skin and wellness products are available at love organic

highway we expect everything instantly and are very uncomfortable with waiting we are available all the time and spend a large portion of this time in an entirely different reality cyperspace popularity is king and has replaced hard work and good behaviour as the criteria for reward this is evident with more and more posts appearing featuring kids holding messages such as my mummy said she would buy us a puppy if we get 1 million likes on facebook bullying is no longer limited to the schoolyard and relationships are started and finished on the web or by text message well i for one am getting tired and am desperately seeking a rest area or perhaps even an alternate route so how about getting off this highway and taking the scenic route it might take longer and be off the beaten track it may not be the most popular or status quo but i bet it s beautiful enriching and definitely more of an adventure we could meet some fascinating people have real conversations and authentic experiences we won t be tagged liked or commented on but instead smiled at hugged and spoken to let s take a chance try new things and most importantly stop breathe and take it all in social media facebook social media voyeurism authentic experiences scenic route i also hang out here follow blog via email email address follow facebook love facebook love what i ve been writing one more moment
