Plants are medicine

It's funny, I've done ALOT of study on health and wellbeing, yet only now has it 'clicked'.

'I did the Tafe course'

Kath & Kim my all time fav 😂

I always believed that knowledge is power, but if you don't know how to put that knowledge to work it's useless!

I didn't know this 🤔

Now that my family and I are about to enter week 10 of wholefood plant based, I'm finding myself putting into action what I learnt many years ago!

I'm now piecing together the knowledge and putting it into practice and it feels amazing 🤗

Being in the kitchen is no longer a chore, I'll be honest some of my 'experiments' have been total disasters see below

A gooey burnt mess that was meant to be candied almonds 😂

But even with the many mistakes, I'm loving being in the kitchen, I'm loving the feeling of serving my family a healthy wellbeing on each and every plate ☺️

Out of the kitchen I've been experimenting in the Apothecary, creating everything from skincare to cleaning products. Things I got lazy with, in all honesty lost interest in due to lack of time and energy.

Now I'm back to brewing up natural remedies for my whole family 🙌

I've also been spending time in the garden with my family, something I've not done since moving into this house, 9 years ago 😲 oh the guilt I feel! 

Now together we are creating a veggie garden, a place for us to ground and to entertain in the warmer weather.

This is just the beginning 🐝

I'm working towards growing our families food, working with the seasons and this will help us lessen our waste 🙌

I think the biggest lesson I'm living at the moment is, living with what I have, I didn't realise how blessed I was, till now!

This creates....

This 🙌

Soon I'll be able to recreate this without the plastic waste and that makes my inner hippy dance 🤗

Along with gardening I've been exercising, stretching, walking and reconnecting with my body 💜

Things I thought I had no time for, I now do!

Maybe it's that I have more energy, maybe it's that I finally know what I want or maybe I now know how to use all that knowledge.....

The other lesson I've been learning is, don't give other people's opinions power, most of the time people say things out of lack of understanding or living via a stereotype.

Your opinions don't pay my bills!

Do you!

Stay tuned for my next update 😘
