Many of us like to indulge a bit extra during the weekend 😋 Why not choose dark chocolate 🍫 in that case ? Anything above 70% cocoa is good but more is even better. I think it’s a habit thing and you can work your way up. Start with 70%. I’m now at 90% and find chocolate with 70% cocoa far too sweet. Dark chocolate may have health benefits as it is naturally high in iron, magnesium, copper and manganese. Another benefit of dark chocolate is that it is high in flavonoids and antioxidants. It has been compared to ‘super fruits’ because of their concentrated source of these phytonutrients, which are higher than those in pomegranates and blueberries. But of course it’s a high fat food and a healthy portion size would not be more than 20 grams. That’s about six small squares. Enjoy your weekend 🤩
Oats are not just great for breakfast. 🥣Oat based creams 🧴are often recommended by skin therapists for various skin conditions. The antioxidant, anti inflammatory ingredient found only in oats, called avenanthramides is why oat based skincare is so good at soothing itching and irritated skin. We have added the finest oat kernel oil to Body buddy lotion. It’s sure to keep your dry and itchy skin smooth and supple. Bonus is the delicious citrus scent 😋 We still have our autumn SALE on trueorganicofsweden.com!
If you have the opportunity to regular sauna time you are in luck.

I like to give my skin and scalp an extra boost by applying Sea me mask to my face and head. I may look scary like the Hulk at the time 😳 but my skin and hair love it . Followed by delicious Body buddy lotion your skin will just drink in. Get ready to glow 😃
At times it’s easy to neglect our skin below the neck and just give attention to our faces. Especially in winter times when we can cover up. But our skin is the largest organ and deserves love and attention all over. Blood circulation is essential, your heart, is striving for your health by sending tiny, tiny blood cells to every part of your body, helping them to thrive by giving your cells oxygen. Boost your blood circulation by excising, dry brushing and massaging with body lotion. For example with our absolutely delicious organic Body buddy lotion 💚💚💚
In the summer months, especially when it’s hot outside, ☀️ it’s important to keep hydrated during night time. This is the time your body does its healing. Chia seeds are the ultimate hydration food. A great way is to have a snack like chia pudding before bed, it hydrates you without you having to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom 😉 Mix coconut milk with chia seeds- let it sit for 20 minutes - Add some fresh berries and voila! 🤩🤩🤩
Some of the reasons you should choose organic skincare products. Not only are organic skincare products preferable for the environment as organic farming procedures are better, they are also beneficial to wildlife as well. These practices produce less dangerous waste from fertilizers and pesticides. Up to 100% of organic skincare products contain active ingredients. In synthetic skincare products, active ingredients usually only make up 5-10% of its contents. To further prove this point, natural ingredients work in synergy with each other and become more powerful together.
Those who know me, know that I’m a big believer in a holistic approach to overall beauty and wellness. What we eat, how we move, what we apply to our skin and what we think is all connected. We have all probably heard about the fantastic benefits of meditation. I’ve tried doing it on my own, apps and websites with guided meditations. I stick with it for a few days but then... Now I’ve found something that works for me that I wanted to share. It still took discipline the first week, but now it’s a habit. YouTube 👍 I like the @thehonestguys for meditation and Suzanne Grace for breathing exercises and clearing your chakras. I have to say, I find myself with a more positive mind. Do you have a favorite meditation method you would like to share?

Oats are amazing! Not just for a healthy breakfast but also in your skincare. Oat oil is rich in vitamins A, E and B as well as loads of calcium, zinc, iron and manganese. A must have ingredient when we created our Body buddy lotion. Oat oil is antimicrobial, anti itch, anti inflammatory and soothing for uncomfortable dry skin conditions. Oat oil has fantastic antioxidant benefits which makes it a great anti-aging ingredient. It’s deeply moisturizing, highly absorbable and acts as a protective barrier. It’s a wonder not all body lotions have oat oil as an ingredient.
