MY NO.1 TAKE-HOME FROM THE PALEO WAY CAIRNS

On the Sunday just gone, Cairns played host to Pete Evans and The Paleo Way tour, and I was lucky enough to be volunteering the whole day. Now I'm usually the first eager beaver at the door with my notepad and pen, but as I didn't know what I would be doing all day, I didn't have those with me. Nevertheless I have a few big key take home notes that required no pen and paper to remember, and here they are.

WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO ADD OILS AND BUTTER TO YOUR COFFEE

Adding fats to caffeinated beverages is a tradition in several cultures. The Nepalese, Tibetans and Indians of the Himalayan regions add yak butter to teas and chais, and the Moroccan people add fermented butter, known as smen to their traditional teas. The resulting beverages are considered strengthening and fortifying, providing energy, nourishment and clarity for long days in rugged environments.

NOURISH: LEMON DELICIOUS PROTEIN BALLS

Miessence have just brought out a protein powder. Yep, the world's first certified organic skin care range also does food products. Although this is not their first.

Lucky me I got sent a bag of this stuff as I'm friend's with the gorgeous Narelle who owns and runs Miessence. This is in no way a promo post for her and I was not asked to do this. But when I find a product that's amazing in it's own right, I'm gonna share it with you. And this is one of them.

GLORIFYING BUSY-NESS :: WHY IT NEEDS TO STOP

Lately I've been feeling it. 

Female business women, life coaches, stay-at-home mums, students juggling full time jobs, you name it. Everyone is busy. We all have shit on. There's always more we feel we could be doing. And that we're forever chasing our tail. 

Or... is that just what we have bought into from a society around us, who one by one, seem to be getting busier, and having more on, resulting in something that I am now seeing as glorifying being busy, like it's now some form of status - if you're busy you're one of the cool kids.
