Happy Soulful Sunday!!

DIY Self Care Weekend...I love roses....they are beautiful, they smell amazing and there is so many soul satisfy things that are easy to make with them. Not to mention all the amazing benefits of roses.

This weekend I made some Soothing Rosewater and Decadent Whipped Salt Scrub.

Rosewater - Gently boil 2 cups of distilled water and 1 cup of rose petals on the stove. Once colour has faded from petals remove from stove and let cool. Drain petals and pour rosewater into jars (I use mason jars) and refrigerate. Keep refrigerated until use.
*If you don't want coloured rose water use white petals.

Whipped Rose Petal Salt Scrub - 1-2 cups solid coconut oil, 1/2 cup shea butter, 1 cup course sea salt, handful of petals, 10-20 drops rose essential oil. Blend in food processor or with electrical hand blender until it forms a whipped texture. This recipe is a guide. Depending on how thick you like your scrub, how strongly scented you like it you can adjust all the ingredients.
*The little pieces of rose like to stick to you so rinse well :)

If you can use organic ingredients...always encouraged.

Rose petals are also great in a bath...try them with your Whipped Salt Scrub :)

Organic and local are always best. The is released each year by the to help us when choosing our fruit and veggies. It's important to keep in mind that processed foods will have pesticides in them too, so boycotting the veg on this list and just eating packaged bikkies and chocolate isn't really the answer.

70% of produce sold in the USA has pesticide residue on it even after washing, and almost every US citizen has detectable pesticide levels in their blood, urine and, for the recent mums, in their breast milk too. A wide range of health effects are associated with exposure to some pesticides, and the combined effects of the cocktail we ingest is only just beginning to be uncovered.

The answer? Join your local community or school garden, plant a seed in a pot on your balcony, trade with your neighbours, head down to the farmers market and meet your local food producers, or sign up to a veg box scheme. Fresh local food is better for us, and it tastes better too!

Can I get an AMEN...

As I mentioned in my previous post I stayed at an awesome place in Nicaragua over the holidays called Azul Nicaragua.

The place has an amazing restaurant, beautiful outdoor yoga platform, stunning ocean views and 10mins from the unspoiled Surf spot "Boom" Beach.

There are large ocean view lots for sale and Jannene the owner is creating a unique healthy, eco friendly and community lifestyle.

I would highly recommend Azul...if are looking for a great vacation experience or investment property.
