Wellness | Confidence | The most beautiful thing a woman can wear

As women, we can confidently say that our looks play a role in our happiness. Whether we want to or not, we find ourselves trying to reach that unattainable goal of perfectionism. We hate to break it to you, but there is no perfect. This ideal woman that we seek, just simply doesn’t exist. Those women in the tabloids with zero body fat, straight teeth, luscious hair and seemingly always tanned skin are beautiful, but they are not perfect. Everyone has imperfections, everyone has flaws, and self-perception is one gateway to happiness. Confidence is the most beautiful thing that a woman can wear. So, why is that something we struggle with most?

Wellness | The importance of Self-Acceptance

Something that sets humans apart from most other animals is our sense of belonging. We have lived side by side since the beginning of time, which has led us to be remarkably social creatures. Belonging to a group provides comfort and stability by increasing longevity, and therefore improving our chance of survival. We are on a perpetual quest to find our tribe, but more often than not, our desires get the best of us.

Wellness | The importance of Self-Discovery

Self-discovery is the process and journey of learning who you are and the important role you play in the universe.

Wellness | Self-Compassion on Valentines day - Loving you, before looking for love

Valentine’s Day, although most of us are unsure of its origin, was built for love. From a young age, we paint this perfect picture of romance with boxes of chocolate, bouquets of flowers and giant stuffed teddy bears. We grow up thinking that our crush will surprise us with a candle-lit dinner on a boat in some beautiful city, with a live string quartet and a piece of spaghetti that’s shared beneath the stars. Everything goes perfectly, he calls the next day, you end up getting married, having children and live a happy fairytale life.

Wellness | Personal Self-Healing Rituals & Practices

As I write this, I am lying in the back of an RV where a makeshift bed has been erected on a pallet comprising of two single mattresses, three pillows and a heap of blankets. I, Lexi Bosman, am living in a camper van. Yep… For the past two months I have been living the mobile-home dream life with two of my best friends. It has been a lifelong dream of ours and we finally got around to doing it. Set the scene; three exuberant, oversharing and overdramatic (at times) women plunged into a confined space day in and day out for two and a half months.

Wellness | How I see Self-healing

Everyone needs healing. As human beings it is inevitable for us to have acquired some sort of ‘baggage’ over the years. Everyone accumulates preconditioning from external elements as children and as we evolve into adults it is our journey to unbind this preconditioning and baggage. It is our journey to become aware of our internal makeup to avoid manifesting by default, running on autopilot.

Wellness | How to stop your mood from changing with the seasons

Does your mood seem to heavily sway depending on the season? Does a longer winter mean a longer time spent in bed? This is totally normal and could just mean that you have a sensitivity to changes in weather. Some of us thrive in the cold but extended periods of grey and cold can have serious effects on how we feel and act. There are many levels of severity and coping can vary based on the person, but the most important is to educate yourself on the matter so that you can help yourself and others.

Wellness | Ice Ice Baby - The benefits of an ice-bath

My first experience with an ice bath was in Phuket, Thailand when I worked at a health and detox retreat. Initially, I refused. I couldn’t wrap my mind around why anyone would want to submerge their body into freezing cold water, I could imagine the benefits but those giant floating ice blocks terrified me.

Wellness | Morning anti-inflammatory routine

Being a picky eater, I sometimes reminisce on the time when I didn’t have to be so cautious. I wasn’t always this particular, but about three years ago something happened that caused me to change my diet drastically. I was diagnosed with gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) which meant that anything I put in my mouth would cause a firey-burning reaction once it hit my gut.

There are 7 steps to manifestation and as we newly enter the New Year, we want to focus on the first one which is setting an intention.
