Certified Organic Botanical Perfumes
There are many synthetic fragrances available in the market. Environmental scientists and health researchers are increasingly concerned about their affects on our health as well as their persistence in the environment. Synthetic fragrances have been linked to causing, triggering and exacerbating health conditions such as allergies and asthma. Other concerns relate to the bioaccumulation of synthetic fragrance chemicals in human tissue and the long-term impact of suspected hormone disrupters.
The best way to avoid these toxic synthetics is to use natural & organic perfumes. Miessence have six different botanical perfumes available. They are hand-blended in age-old traditions and smell absolutely beautiful. They are called love, wild, delicious, free, brave, and calm. My personal favorite is the "wild' one.
These botanical perfumes can be purchased from Miessence

10 Tips On Healthy Eating
1) Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods:
Good health requires over 40 different nutrients in your body. So include a good variety of foods such as whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and protein foods (meats, fish, chicken).
2) Eat plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables:
It would be good to increase the number of servings for these types of food.
3) Maintain a healthy weight:
This is important because being too obese or too thin can lead to health problems. Eating well and exercising regularly can help with maintaining a healthy weight.
4) Eat in moderation:
If you want to eat the foods that you love, then keep the portion sizes reasonable.
5) Eat regular meals:
Don't skip meals as it would lead to overeating. It's also a good idea to allow for some snacking in between meals to curb hunger.
6) Reduce, don't eliminate:
There are plenty of people who eat for pleasure and also for good nutrition. But if you want to continue eating your favorite foods, you don't have to eliminate them. Just moderate the amount of these foods you eat and how often you eat them.
7) Balance your food choices:
Healthy eating can also be based on your food selection over several days. For example, if you eat foods that contain high levels of fat, salt or sugar, you can select other foods that are low in these ingredients for a bit of a balance. If you miss out on a food group one day, just make it up the following day.
8) Recognise your diet pitfalls:
You must know your eating habits first before you can make improvements to your diet. Write down everything that you have eaten for three days. This will help you make certain adjustments to your diet. For example, if you realise that you haven't been eating enough fruits and vegetables, then make those adjustments in your diet so that you are not missing out of vital nutrients.
9) Make gradual changes:
Healthy diet doesn't happen overnight. You need to gradually make those adjustments in your diet and eventually develop lifelong eating habits.
10) Have a balanced diet:
Select foods based on your total eating patterns, not whether foods are considered 'good' or 'bad'. We all have our favorite foods that we like to occasionally indulge in, such as, chocolate and.cakes. Just eat them in moderation and choose other foods that provide a balanced diet.

Toxic Chemicals In Personal Care Products
How safe are the ingredients used in your current brand of personal care products? Are you aware of the potential dangers of toxic chemicals found in personal care products?
Our skin absorbs more than 60% of what we apply on ourselves. So if products contain toxic chemicals, this will be absorbed into the body. They may be stored in certain places such as bones, fat and liver tissues. They may even stay there for many years and may contribute to certain health problems later on in life. The below animation shows us that dangerous chemicals can be found when we least expect it.
So keep yourself healthy. Consider natural and organic personal care products as an alternative to cheap and nasty chemical-laden products. Your body will love you for it. It is better to spend slightly more on natural and organic personal care products now to avoid potential expensive bills later on trying to fix any health issues that may have been attributed to regular exposure to toxic chemicals from personal care products. You can purchase some natural and organic products here (click me)
Based on personal experience of using these products, they have made a significant difference in my life. So if you haven't tried them, then I recommend you do so because I believe you will also notice a difference too.
