Yes, topical factors and making sure products contain clean ingredients are very important but as a nutritionist I am also focusing on hormone health, gut health, stress levels and of course diet.

Our Name – Honeybee House – What It Means To Us
I have had so many people ask me about our business name and how I came up with it, when in reality it came up with us.

Our friends, family and neighbours have been the lucky benefactors of some of this liquid gold as well, and we often heard our … [Read more...] about Our Name – Honeybee House – What It Means To Us

Living sustainably for our family has become a way of life, it has not ever been just about choosing and buying the next new sustainable product that comes along, sustainability is, and can be so much more than that. My sustainable living began at quite a young age and at the time I did not consciously think of it as living sustainably. I grew up being taught to chose wisely and to nurture and look after the things that you have, my childhood, like everyone’s had its trials. The death of my Dad … [Read more...] about Sustainability – A Way Of Life

Our Skincare – What Is Natural And What Is Not.
Do you know what is in the products that you put on your body? The skin is the human bodies largest organ and what is placed on it has a definite effect, both topically and internally. I consider myself to be a healthy person and I always try to be aware of what I eat, but my motto now is “ If you wouldn’t put it in your body why would you want to put it on your body?” we go to great lengths to know what is in the foods we eat, but often neglect to take that same care when it comes to what … [Read more...] about Our Skincare – What Is Natural And What Is Not.
