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…

How to Make a Natural Orange Peel Cleaning Spray That Smells Amazing and Actually Works
Orange season is in full swing Juicy, 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? For a long time, I simply threw them away, usually into the compost bin. Until one day I visited my friend Sandra – a true treasure trove of natural living wisdom. A homemade spray straight from a jar Sandra showed me a jar filled with orange peels soaked in vinegar. “This is my countertop and sink cleaner – it works great and smells amazing!” she said. I had tried cleaning with vinegar before, but…

Homemade Cashew Milk – The Simplest, Healthiest, and Creamiest
If you’re looking for a plant-based milk that not only tastes amazing but also genuinely supports your health – you absolutely have to try homemade cashew milk. It’s my all-time favourite among all plant-based drinks. Not only is it incredibly easy to make, but it’s also natural, nourishing, and far superior to most store-bought alternatives. Perfect for Coffee, Porridge and Cooking I make cashew milk regularly – for coffee, porridge, smoothies, and cooking. Its silky, creamy texture makes lattes taste better than in most cafés. What’s more, thanks to one clever little ingredient, this milk doesn’t separate, even after several days in the fridge, and it stays smooth and uniform…

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! I remember eating three slices and would have gladly gone for more, if I hadn’t started to feel a bit embarrassed. The cake was slightly moist, incredibly fragrant, and very filling. 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…

Hair Growth Boosting Mask – Only 3 Ingredients!
Today I’ve got a special recipe for you – a homemade hair mask that helps combat hair loss. It’s super easy to make and doesn’t need to be stored in the fridge. If you’ve read my previous post about natural methods and supplements for hair loss, you’ll remember I came across some interesting studies about MSM while researching the topic. That’s when the idea for this hair mask was born. Why MSM? Scientific research confirms the effectiveness of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) for both internal and external use. MSM is a white powder that dissolves easily in water. To be effective in scalp care, it should be used in a 10% concentration.…

Two Births, Two Stories: Epidural vs. Natural
Dreams of a Baby, Nightmares of Pain For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to have children. However, the thought of childbirth terrified me since I was a child. Perhaps it was the dramatic stories my mother told me about giving birth in communist Poland, or maybe it was the phrase “that’s nothing compared to childbirth” that I kept hearing whenever I hurt myself as a kid. I love nature, but when it comes to physical pain, I never saw the point in suffering. I didn’t want to think about it or see it, so I deliberately avoided birth videos and stories from other women. At every…

The Healthiest Face Powder in the World – And You Can Eat It!
Ladies, I have an absolute hit for you today!Something I’ve been using for about a year, and only recently realized that very few women know about it. I’m talking about a 100% natural, edible face powder – the healthiest one you can possibly use! I discovered it completely by accident while looking for a natural ingredient to make my body butter less greasy. That’s how I came across arrowroot flour (from Maranta arundinacea – a tropical root vegetable from Indonesia). It has a silky, ultra-fine texture – just like expensive mineral powders. Most often, you’ll find it in the kitchen – it’s used in paleo and gluten-free diets. It’s a…

The Healthiest and Crispiest Granola — Sugar-Free, with Raw Nuts!
When spring begins, many of us crave yogurt with fruit and crunchy granola. Ah, it’s so delicious!My husband often buys regular granola from the store, and of course, the kids, seeing what he’s eating, want the same. I’ve tried my best to discourage them from this treat, explaining that it contains a lot of sugar, which harms health and damages teeth — but little kids don’t really care about that. They want to eat what’s sweet, crunchy, and tasty… just like dad. There are already sugar-free granolas available on the market, but they’re usually quite expensive (which is understandable), and most of the ingredients, including the nuts, are baked.What makes…

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. Not to mention, they’re pretty expensive for what they are. But what if I told you that you could make your own version at home – just as delicious (maybe even better), using real, wholesome ingredients, with way less sugar and actually good for you? Let me show you how. Ingredients: Instructions 5. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is lightly golden. 6. Allow to cool…
