The last week we have had some very pretty visitors, visitors that have quite a buzz about them. Some bees! But not just any bees, these are Blue Bottomed Native Bees. And yes their bottom is blue – check it out…

They have just been loving life since our eggplant has flowered. I’ve been told that soon after bees begin distributing pollen, fruit will come. I’ll keep you updated. It’s been about 3 months since we planted the seedling. Here’s hoping!

Many years ago our ancestors relied on our stress response primarily to keep us alert and alive to ward off animal predators. These days it’s a different story. Whilst there’s no real danger of being eaten by a bear anytime soon, our stress responses have none-the-less gone into overdrive. Anyone who’s ever had a meltdown…

Why Camel’s Milk Products are the New Skin Care Craze

Could Prioritising Spiritual Health be the Key to Positive Body Image & Weight Management?

Today I interviewed Sheralyn Bucknell, author of one of my favourite body image and management books, The Body Battle.
