Wow it has been an absolute minute since I have posted and I don’t know why but so many of you still check in so thank you so much! The most common queries I get is about parenting and beauty tips. A lot has changed since my last post years ago! I am no longer vego - it was time for me to listen to my body and follow my intuition. I started eating meat a few years back! I still eat vego many nights a week but if my body is asking for something whether that be meat or citrus or pasta, I listen to it.
I have also made the switch with my skin care to all natural products. I turned 36 last week and it is more important to me then ever to be as sustainable as I can and low tox as possible. There’s a huge trend of tallow skincare happening and it is for good reason. At first I thought it was a bit yuk (for those unfamiliar, tallow is beef fat) however the Ancient greeks and Romans used it for centuries..and it works!. On a science level, tallow mimics our skins oils and biome resulting in a healthy skin barrier which = gorgeous glowing skin! Tallow is deeply nourishing and absorbs quickly. However, not all tallow is the same! Mine is from Reclaim !And trust me when I say I tried them all. Reclaim has me as a customer for life because of the texture. It is so buttery it is like a balm! And Use it all over, not just my face. The other tallows are whipped which incorporates air and bacteria and less tallow for your $$$ and the other ones smelt awful or were really hard. I have been using Reclaim Duo for day and night use. The tallow they use is grass fed and grass finished, it also has other amazing ingredients in it like jojoba oil and beeswax which are fabulous for your skin! My whole family use and love this tallow brand and I feel so good in knowing they aren’t putting chemicals on their skin and are using a sustainable, Australian made product.
The main reason I switched was hormone issues. Since my second pregnancy, my hormones have been all over the place. I did a blood test and saw a doctor. I was really sad and unhappy about the “ solutions” provided ( anti depressants ) so I saw a naturopath who actually took the time to listen to me and give me the vitamins my body was lacking. This combined with ditching my chemical based household items and skincare, has resulted in such an improved verison of me. My skin is glowing and nourished! My body feels healthy. It’s a win for all.
I read the comments and reviews on this brand as well and if you experience sensitive skin, acne or rosacea, tallow is definitely an awesome option for you ! I gifted my niece who has acne and she has been using it for 3 months now with massive improvements to her skin. You would think being an oil based product that this would be the opposite but actually, our skin needs oils. The chemical based skincare strips away our natural oils leaving exposed skin. Tallow actually helps repair and creates a healthy barrier resulting in reduced inflammation, and smoother, hydrated, and youthful-looking skin. I am not getting botox or filler and I refuse to use chemicals that harm me. Reclaim tallow has proven to me their product works and is safe!
