MOTHERHOOD AND LIFESTYLE
I started this journey after getting sick — slowly learning how everyday products, food, and habits were affecting my health and my family’s. I began paying attention to the things we used, the food we ate, and what we put on our skin — and I realised how many hidden toxins were surrounding us every single day.
At first, it was overwhelming. There’s so much information online — and a lot of it contradicts itself. Some brands scream “eco” and “non-toxic” on the label, but when you flip it over? The ingredients list is full of petroleum-derived chemicals. That’s not low-tox. That’s just clever marketing.
I didn’t know what to trust anymore. What ingredients are actually safe in skincare? What pan coatings are okay? What kind of plastic is really bad?
So I did what any slightly-obsessed, trying-to-heal mum would do — I started doing my own research. No, I’m not a scientist. But I’ve learned to use critical thinking, ask questions, dig deeper, and trust my gut.
This space is for you if you’ve ever felt the same frustration. If you want real, organised, honest information — all in one place. Here, I share what I’ve learned: science-backed info, practical swaps, and gentle changes that make our home feel a little safer and more supportive each day.
It won’t be perfect, but it will be real. And you absolutely don’t need to throw out your entire kitchen overnight. We still go out for pizza. We still eat popcorn at the cinema. But at home, we’re making better choices — step by step.
Back then, I was a woman chasing her career
— working long hours, climbing the ladder, and dreaming of luxury — designer handbags, shoes, expensive restaurants, first-class flights. If you’d told me five years ago that this is where I’d end up, I honestly wouldn’t have believed you.
And now? I’m a proud, slightly chaotic, deeply in-love mum of two boys - dreaming about building a farm in Australia, raising chickens, growing veggies, and giving my kids the kind of wild, free, low-tox childhood I never even knew I wanted.
From non-stick pans to bedsheets to tap water.
Real swaps, research-backed tips, and simple upgrades to make your home safer for the people you love (without needing to replace everything overnight).
This is where things get real — from ditching seed oils to making butter from scratch.
Learn what to replace, why it matters, and how to make it work for your family (even on a budget). Because food should nourish, not sneak in toxins.
Shampoo, skincare, toothpaste, even clothes — this is where we tackle the stuff we put on our bodies every single day.
With ingredient breakdowns, honest reviews, and swaps that actually feel good.
