6 Harmful Chemicals to Avoid in Baby Care Products
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It acts as a barrier that protects us from the outside world. It’s no wonder that what we apply to our skin can significantly affect our health. Many chemicals present in cosmetics can penetrate the skin, causing both internal and external issues. When it comes to baby care, it is especially important to avoid ingredients known for their aggressiveness. A baby’s skin is particularly delicate and much thinner than that of an adult, making it more susceptible to irritation. Therefore, choosing safe care products is a key task for every parent or caregiver. When a baby is born, it is…

Homemade Jelly Babies with Honey and Vitamin C
One of the simplest ways to incorporate vitamin C into your child’s diet is through vitamin gummies. Unfortunately, finding gummies that don’t contain glucose syrup, large amounts of sugar, or artificial flavorings can be quite a challenge.

That’s why today I’m sharing a simple recipe for homemade vitamin C gummies that you can make together with your kids. Not only is this a healthy alternative, but it’s also a fun activity – kids will love popping the gummies out of…

Make Your Own Mayonnaise: A Healthier and Yummier Choice
Why make homemade mayonnaise when you can buy ready-made? That’s a good question. Today, stores offer a huge variety of mayonnaises – even organic versions, ones with olive oil, or without preservatives. If you use mayonnaise only occasionally, an occasional store-bought portion probably won’t harm you. But if you like mayonnaise and use it regularly – or would like to, but have doubts about its health effects – read this post till the end. Mayonnaise is basically a very simple product: oil, egg, mustard, and vinegar or lemon juice. The problem is that 99% of store-bought mayonnaises use refined oils such as rapeseed (canola) or sunflower oil. While cold-pressed sunflower…

Orange season is in full swing uicy, sweet oranges are tempting in every store. At our house, they disappear by the kilo – the kids absolutely love them. But what to do with all those peels?

Healthy Low-Carb Orange Cake – Gluten-Free & Delicious!
I first came across this cake during a family gathering at my husband’s relatives’ house in London. My brother-in-law made it using a recipe published in The Guardian, written by Claudia Roden. The cake was served warm, straight from the oven – with fresh blueberries and raspberries. It was truly heavenly!

When we got back home, my brother-in-law sent me the recipe. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the exact same recipe was printed… on the back of…

Baked Paleo Nut Bars (Low Carb)
I love nutty bars from the shop – I really do. I love how crunchy they are, how satisfying they feel… but let’s be honest – they’re usually packed with sugar, glucose syrup, and a bunch of ingredients I can’t even pronounce.
