The last few months have been challenging and stressful for many, so my finds this month focus on improving the health and wellbeing of mum and families.
Product finds
ECO. Diffuser Blends 6 Pack – I love essential oil blends and this 6 pack is amazing value at only $80. The pack includes immunity and anxiety blends.
Kiwiherb Echinature – Kiwiherb Echinature is a blend of organically grown Echinacea Purpurea and organic Manuka Honey and makes for a great tasting tonic. Echinacea has been traditionally used in western herbal medicine to maintain the health and function of the immune system and contains bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity.
GoodnessMe Kids – 3 Monthly Subscription Box– I have shared previously about GoodnessMe boxes, but this one is a little different. It is aimed at kids! It is delivered monthly and costs $45.00 every three months with FREE shipping, excluding shipping to regional Australia and to New Zealand which is $5.00 per month.
Breville Kitchen Wizz 15 Pro Food Processor – I have had a Breville Food Processor for many years and when my current one gives up the ghost, this is the one I would love to get. It has an extra wide 14cm food chute and is very powerful for a food processor. Food processors are excellent meal prep tools and I highly recommend them!
WellBeing magazine subscription is a gorgeous magazine and one of Australia’s leading natural health and living magazines. It offers an intelligent reading experience with reviews on the latest developments in natural living, and provides inspiration for a way of life that is authentic and soulful.
Personalised gratitude journal – there are volumes of scientific studies highlighting the benefits to our well being that practicing gratitude has and I can concur from my personal experience as well. Having a daily gratitude practice has made me happier and a nicer person to be around. This gratitude journal is so gorgeous it would make you want to write in it every day!
Llama letter writing set – there is just so much to love about this letter writing set! Firstly the cute LLamas, then there is the fact that are made by combining sanitised llama manure with recycled paper! Just like writing a gratitude journal is good for us, we know and science has shown that writing letters to others is good for our well being too.

- 5 Tips for Stress Behaviors – Simple Families Podcast – in this short podcast (16 minutes) Denaye Barahona Ph.D. shares some strategies on how to manage stress in kids and you. I particularly liked her tip about separating behaviours from the child not wanting them to think they are “bad” even if their behaviour is at times “bad”.
- Agile programming — for your family TED talk by Bruce Feiler – to deal with the stress of modern family life, Feiler recommends that families go agile – that is base family practices upon the same key concepts of project management. While this sounds clinical it isn’t at all. A key concept of agile is that teams manage themselves – it works in software and he says it also works with kids. He created an Agile Family manifesto with three planks:
- Adapt all the time
- Empower your children
- Tell your story
