DIY roll on perfume.

If you suffer from hormonal imbalances such as pcos, endometriosis or mood swings, nausea, allergens or acne: the ingredients found in perfumes, lotions and cleaning products might be a cause.

Something listed as "perfume" or "parfum" as an ingredient at the back of a product is undisclosed information as it could consist of over 100 chemicals to make up for the scent it. Even if a product is advertised as a natural/tropical scented perfume, cosmetic or cleaning product, chances are there is nothing in there that consists of the real thing, but rather a concoction of ingredients that smell like it. The real ingredient used is diethyl phthalate, which has been documented to cause reproductive and developmental toxicity to the body along with other negative side effects.

Changing not only what I put in my body but on my body had made a difference to my hormones. My skin has cleared and my mood is lifted, a good sign that my endocrine system hasn't been disrupted.

Smell like the real deal. Feel healthy.

All you need is a roll on bottle, a carrier oil (can use jojoba, avocado, vegetable oil + others) and 15 drops or so of your favourite scents.

I like to roll a little on the tip of the nose sometimes. Inhale that freshness.

Make your own linen/body spray in my previous posts.

Roasted hazelnuts, dates, cacao, pinch of salt + tbsp of your choice of sweetener (I used golden syrup - carob would be healthier) = nutella tasting energy balls

Put hazelnuts in the oven on 200d until the skin starts to deshell and you can smell that heavenly nut roast.
Process all in blender and roll!

If you suffer from hormonal imbalances like I did, (more on that later on how I started this journey for health and healing) perfumes and other artificial chemicals can disrupt the endocrine system since it's being absorbed in our skin.

Here's an easy and simple body mist (but can also be used as an air freshener, deodorant, scent for hair, linen and more)

1. Empty spray bottle
2. Distilled water (or boil water and let it to cool)
3. 15+ or so drops of your favourite essential oil scent or mix 2 scents together.

I got mine from .boutique in and I love it 👍

No essential oil? Orange zest works great too. Just make sure the zest is grated large enough so it doesn't get stuck in the spray filter!

Walnuts hide scratches on wooden surfaces (and leave a nice oilyness and shine too).

Kalimera! For those with issues with oats, here's an alternative breakfast porridge consisting of buckwheat and quinoa.

Spiced with cinnamon, cardamon and ginger powder, sweetened with dates, topped off with strawberry and blueberry compote, toasted coconut flakes, grinded almonds and pistachios. Rich in flavour, packed with antioxidant and digestive properties.

Here's how:
Soak and rinse buckwheat and quinoa and leave to set overnight or 4hrs.
On medium heat in a pan add splash of plant milk, buckwheat, quinoa, spices and chopped dates continously stirring while slowly adding more plant milk.
(If you don't use dates, use your choice of sweetener)

Top it off with your favourites! Banana and peanut butter works great too. Or stirring in some cacao powder while in the pan is bomb.
