June Focus: Skin Health
Well, what a humdinger of a month May was! I met 2 of my foraging heroes Mark Williams, one of the founders of the Association of Foragers and the inspiring Mo Wilde, author of The Wilderness Cure, Free Food and the brilliant app EatWild!
My social media accounts have gone crazy with new followers joining everyday, I now have a combined following of over 80k! The downside of that is all the hundreds of comments to reply to! Nettles and Sticky Willie (Cleavers) started the big social media interest, with my post on Cleavers Cleanse or Sticky Willie Water now at over 800k views! Nettle crisps, nettle pesto and nettle hair rinse have also had hundreds of thousands of views!
So I think its fair to say that I have gone viral!!
I’ve employed Kathryn (my daughter) as my social media creator/PA, my other daughter Jenna created the Wellness Hub and deals with all the membership stuff, she edits the monthly newsletters and writes the Natural Living section on the website, plus the poem at the end of each newsletter. Alastair, my husband, deals with all the financial stuff, so the Wellness Hub is truly a family affair!
Like many women, for years I raised my family and focused on looking after them. As my kids grew up, I found myself with the time and space to focus on my own passions and do things just for me. I’ve devoted my time to honing skills, researching and learning about things that I’m passionate about- it’s a journey that shows no signs of stopping. I’m finally feeling like i’ve earned my position as a respected educator and natural health advocate. I want to speak out and I want to be heard. So I have been and people are listening. My message is important, and what I have to share is not a fad or a trend. I’m not selling anything; what I’m offering is simple health tips and ideas that are truly life-changing for many people.
This brings me to this month’s focus which is Skin, a massive topic and so much to share on this one. Our skin literally is a map of our gut so anyone living with a chronic skin issue needs to address their gut health.
I have some great discounts for members this month:
20% off the fabulous Hanna Sillitoe skincare range using code WHJUNE20 I love her products and can use so many of them without fear of irritation
20% off at Ermana Skincare, beautiful products created by Claire Gray in Glasgow. She is also creator of the brilliant Podcast Skin and Within.
10% off at Argyll Botany, Fiona and Lesley are members of the Wellness Hub, and have created a sustainable business in Tignabruich using local ingredients in their gorgeous products. I’m paying them a wee visit this month and will be doing a Live from their premises.
I will be sharing my probiotic skincare secrets and top tips for healthy, glowing skin and my favourite recipes for skin health. All the orange foods are fab for skin health so we will be using lots of sweet potatoes and carrots this month! Check out Carrot Kraut and Fermented Carrot Sticks for starters!
June is upon us, the flowers are bursting and it feels like the earth is pulsing with vibrant energy- good things lie ahead, and I’m excited to have you here with me this month.
In good health,
Janice xx
