Try telling people in the Seventies that butter was healthier for you than margarine, and they would force feed you with Stork.
Coconut oil mixed with olive oil is what I put on my body every day; I put rose hip oil on my face. If my hair feels dry, instead of going and buying something filled with chemicals, I put egg whites or avocados or mayonnaise in my hair. I leave it on there for an hour or two and I wash it out.
I love knowing exactly what you're putting onto your skin and about the ingredient benefits of those products.
I don't believe in putting petroleum or preservatives on my skin. Over time, you kind of just want to go back to basics.
I don't really use fragrance. I use essential oils, but not necessarily every day.
The real thing people miss in vegetarian cooking is fat. Fat is flavor. It is delicious.
I am quite healthy and very careful about my diet. I take a vitamin B complex, a vitamin C supplement, iron and hemp oil - which is a good source of omega 3 - every day. I don't eat meat, fish or eggs, or anything that's too starchy.
I love Weleda Skin Food and Avene's Moisture Mask, especially if I've been travelling. Weleda also makes great deodorants and body oils - my mum introduced me to them long ago.
