🌿 GREENWASHING: Don’t be fooled by the label

Ever bought something because it said “natural”, “eco-friendly” or “clean”… only to discover it wasn’t quite what you thought? 👀

That’s greenwashing.

Greenwashing is when a brand makes something look more environmentally friendly, natural or sustainable than it really is — often through clever packaging and vague marketing.

🚩 Watch out for:
• “Natural” with no clear explanation
• “Chemical-free” claims
• Lots of green packaging + leaves 🌿
• “Eco” or “clean” without evidence
• Tiny amounts of a “natural” ingredient while the rest is highly processed
• Claims that sound impressive but aren’t backed up

✨ My tip: Don’t just read the front of the packaging. Turn it around, check the ingredients, look for certifications and research the brand.

Marketing can be green. That doesn’t always mean the product is. 🌱

🌊 Sometimes your body doesn’t need more… it needs nature.

Bare feet in the sand.
Your body in the sea.
Sun on your skin.
Fresh air in your lungs. 🌿

There’s something deeply grounding about stepping away from screens, noise and everyday stress and reconnecting with the natural world.

🌊 Cold water can stimulate the nervous system and leave you feeling refreshed.
☀️ Natural daylight helps support your body’s sleep-wake rhythm.
🏖️ Walking barefoot on sand encourages movement, balance and a sense of grounding.
🌿 Time outdoors can help reduce stress and support your overall wellbeing.

Sometimes wellness isn’t another supplement, treatment or product.

It’s simply slowing down, breathing deeply and letting nature do what it does best. 🤍

Feet in the sand.
Body in the sea.
Mind at peace

Last night I was so tired to cook so I picked up a roast chicken and made a quick salad and some corn and bread to go with it.

This morning I roasted some olive bread in a pan topped with hummous, tomatoes and rocket.

Again time was short so Craig’s got sushi and fruit for lunch.

Low fat spreads
Low fat yogurt
Skimmed milk
Low fat cheese

For years we’ve been told to choose “low fat” everything… but your body actually NEEDS healthy fats.

🥑 Healthy fats help support:
• Hormone production
• Brain function
• Vitamin absorption (A, D, E & K)
• Healthy skin
• Feeling fuller for longer

Many ultra-processed “low fat” products replace fat with added sugar, refined starches or additives to improve taste.

🌻 What about seed oils?

Not all seed oils are the same, but many highly refined seed oils used in ultra-processed foods are extracted using industrial processing and are found in foods like crisps, fast food, pastries and biscuits. Rather than focusing on one ingredient, it’s often more beneficial to reduce ultra-processed foods overall.

Instead, build your meals around whole foods and include healthy fat sources like:
🥑 Avocados
🫒 Extra virgin olive oil
🥜 Nuts & seeds
🐟 Oily fish
🥚 Eggs

Remember: it’s the overall quality of your diet that matters most—not just whether something says “low fat” on the label.
