Four simple but effective ways to practise self-care this Winter and beyond

By on July 29, 2024

Winter this year has been cold, damp and miserable in Australia! As we approach August our bodies are crying out for some much needed self-care. This cold weather calls for comforting, convenient and luxurious products that can help us relax and rejuvenate. We’ve tried and tested the following products and feel they’re all worthy of providing some much needed self-care this Winter and beyond. By the way they are all Australian or New Zealand products, a great way to support local small business.

Soften your feet with Neat Feat

Did you know our heels and feet are more prone to drying and cracking during the cooler months? We need to take extra care of them during Winter, which leads me to these effective Neat Feat products I’ve recently tried and tested.

Neat Feat Foot & Heel Balm appealed to me as it contains urea (as well as other effective ingredients) to restore the natural balance of the skin. I’ve been using this balm twice daily, in the morning and before bedtime. In addition I’ve been exfoliating my feet with the Neat Feat Pumice when showering in the morning. After several days of using these lovely Neat Feat products my feet are feeling the smoothest they’ve been in months.

We found Neat Feat Foot & Heel Balm and Neat Feat Pumice to be effective in softening and restoring dry Winter feet.

Revitalise naturally with Natralus

We love paw-paw for daily self-care, hydrating and protecting, especially during the cooler months. I’m so happy I discovered the Natralus Natural Paw Paw Lip Butter. This is a compact, very affordable and long-lasting hydrating butter made with Organic Paw Paw, Shea Butter and Vitamin E. I would agree with the claim on the tube that it’s deeply moisturising and protects delicate lips from the elements throughout the day.

Reduce the load and enjoy wholesome ready-to-eat meals with The Dinner Ladies

Everyone deserves to take a load off once in a while. I’d heard great things about The Dinner Ladies from other Mums so was eager to give their homely ready-to-heat meals a try. With a range of delicious family meals delivered to your door, stock up the freezer for the week and all your meal prep is done.

Our verdict? They really do taste like home-cooked meals with our favourites being classic beef lasagne, slow-cooked beef stroganoff and chicken & roast vegetable pie. These meals are super easy to heat in the microwave or oven. Add a side of potato or pasta, a salad or greens and the quantities will go further. Such a time-saver and I love how you don’t have to think about what’s for dinner every night. It’s all there in the freezer.

Glow instantly with INIKA

Have you heard of INIKA Organic products made in Australia with only natural ingredients? My favourite INIKA Organic product which I’ve been using for months now is the lovely Hydrating Toning Mist. This spritz is super hydrating for these cooler months and infused with calming botanical ingredients including Aloe Vera to brighten the skin. The mist is recommended to be used after cleansing in the morning however I also use it any time during the day to freshen my face. A little spritz of self-care daily!
