I think consistency of routine is just as important as ingredients. Keeping your skincare ritual rich in skin-protective antioxidants, hydrating emollients, and of course, SPF is key to good skin health over time.

Take small bites. For any kind of change to be long-lasting, it needs to be sustainable, so pick the things that are the easiest for you to change because of cost, lifestyle alignment, or passion, as a starting point. Once you're happy with those, pick the next lot of easiest things. A 'naturally healthy lifestyle' is a spectrum and will look different for every person.

Well.... with full-time work, a lot of voluntary hours for NMHNZ, part-time master's study, and family..... I'd say my daily non-negotiables are very basic right now - sleep, good food, and water. I love taking my thermos of herbal teas with me for the drive to work - an easy way to provide nourishment, hydration, and phytonutrients.

I get on my bike as much as I can, which makes me feel free, joyful, and happy. I also have some favourite supplements to help support my brain be calm, and not flipping out - Wild Dispensary Rest and Calm is one of those. The liquid herbs work very quickly to support my brain be in a calmer place. Or Biotrace Relax Complete - easy to travel with and a great blend of herbs.
