I don’t often drink wine… but apparently our yiayias had a different philosophy. 😂🍷
Red wine + pepper was one of those old-fashioned preparations some Greek grandmothers used to make when someone had a sore throat.
But now I want to know… what did YOUR yiayia or grandmother make when you were sick?

There are 5 things I personally choose NOT to use anymore—and as someone who has spent years studying wellness and living a more natural lifestyle, I want to tell you why. 👀

Not because I believe we should live in fear.
Not because we need to be perfect.
But because our everyday choices add up.

We think so much about what we eat… but what about what we put on our bodies, breathe in, and surround ourselves with every single day?

Here are 5 things I personally avoid whenever possible:

1. Conventional toothpaste 🦷
I pay attention to what I put in my mouth twice a day. I prefer simpler ingredients and encourage you to actually read the label.

2. Conventional deodorant
Your underarms are skin too. I prefer simpler, less-fragranced formulas whenever possible. Your body doesn’t need to smell like a synthetic perfume factory to be clean. 😊

3. Conventional laundry detergent 👕
Your clothes, towels and sheets sit against your skin for hours. I personally avoid heavily fragranced detergents and choose simpler options.

4. Scented candles 🕯️
I love a beautiful home—but “smells amazing” doesn’t automatically mean “something I want to breathe for hours.” I prefer simpler candles and natural scents whenever possible.

5. Car & artificial air fresheners 🚗
Your car is a small enclosed space. I don’t want to constantly cover the air around me with artificial fragrance.

Fresh air is my favorite air freshener. 🤍

And remember: wellness isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness.

Read one label.
Make one swap.
Open a window.
Choose fragrance-free next time.

Ask yourself:
“What am I bringing into my home and putting on my body every single day?”

Would you eat a raw onion like this? 🧅🫒

It might not be the most glamorous snack, but there’s actually a reason I love combining raw onion with extra virgin olive oil and a little salt.

When an onion is cut, its enzymes produce sulfur-containing compounds called thiosulfinates. These are part of what gives raw onion its strong smell, sharp taste, and yes… the tears! 🥲 Heat can break down many of these compounds, which is one reason raw onion has a different nutritional profile from cooked onion.

Raw onions are also a source of quercetin, a flavonoid with antioxidant properties. And here’s where the olive oil comes in. 🫒

Quercetin is not absorbed particularly well on its own, but consuming it with fat can significantly improve its absorption. Adding extra virgin olive oil provides that healthy fat, helping your body make better use of the quercetin naturally found in the onion.

Extra virgin olive oil also brings its own naturally occurring polyphenols and healthy monounsaturated fats, making this a simple combination of ingredients with plenty to offer.

Raw onion also contains prebiotic fibres, including inulin and fructooligosaccharides, which can be fermented by the beneficial bacteria in our gut.

This is one of those very simple Mediterranean combinations I love: raw onion, quality extra virgin olive oil, and a little salt. No complicated recipe, just whole ingredients and its the best way to prevent the flu!🌿Comment what you are doing to prevent it!✨
Raw onion + extra virgin olive oil + salt. Would you try it? 🧅🫒

Forget biohackers! The answers to aging well are in the lives of the people who truly do age well. ✨Almost everyone I speak to that is 90 and above, says the same thing… Mostly plant-based diet, community, movement in the form of walking up and down hills. And lots of herbs. Let’s take the lesson that we all learn from the wise people who have made it to the ripe age of 90, 95 and 100. 

Don’t blame the orange juice and in fact don’t blame any juice! It isn’t the juice or fruit that is giving you heartburn,it is just the way that you are drinking or eating it. This is one of the important rules of food pairing, or as some people know it food combining. In the food pairing rules, any kind of juice or fruit enters the stomach first before anything else so the rule is… Juice or fruit only on an empty stomach! Super interested in your thoughts, leave me a comment and let me know. 

If I could sit down with my 30-year-old self for one afternoon, these are the things I would tell her. 🤍

Some lessons take years to learn. Others you only understand after making the wrong choices, trusting the wrong people, or finally realizing that your time, energy, health, and peace are your most valuable assets.
These are the lessons I wish someone had given me sooner,not because I got everything right, but because life has a way of teaching you what truly matters.
Save this for the days you need the reminder, and send it to a woman who might need to hear one of these today.
You don’t have to wait until 30 to learn them. ✨
