  • I'm packing my bags today because we're going to BALI for one month!! ✈️ . A lot of you are new to getting to know me... so here are a few things you might not know: . 👉 1. I lived in Singapore for 15 years. My daughters were born and raised there... . 👉 2. One night, my husband and I watched a TED talk about the @greenschoolbali. At that moment, we decided we wanted to move there. It took us ONE YEAR to figure out how to make it happen. . 👉 3. I had an amazing business in Singapore teaching natural skincare workshops. To afford the opportunity to move to Bali, I created an online workshop (and have since taught hundreds of people!) . 👉4. We planned to be in Bali for one year, but LOVED it so much we stayed on for a second year. . 👉 5. While in Bali, I learned from traditional skincare makers. So many of my remedies, recipes, my style, my ideals and philosophy comes from what I learned there. . 👉 6. Bali had plans for us! We thought we were going to have a magical experience and then go back to our apartment and busy life in Singapore. But something shifted inside of us. We realised that we wanted something different for our family - so we didn't go back "home". We moved to the US with only four suitcases and truly no idea what to expect next! Just a feeling that it was the right move. (It was!!) . So now we're going back to Bali, to spend time there together again. And for me, I know that Bali always has something to teach!!! I'm so ready to learn and share! WANT TO COME ALONG ON THIS ADVENTURE? 💕
  • The biggest comments that I got yesterday from sharing the homemade soap I made was....⠀ ⠀ "It looks good enough to eat."⠀ ⠀ And that's the best compliment I can imagine, because that's the place I'm creating from. ⠀ ⠀ I'm inspired by real food, and the way real food makes me feel. ⠀ ⠀ And making skincare, for me, is a way of using my creativity to express something that I love. Im so happy that I get to share that with you! 💛💛💛⠀ ⠀ LEMON SLUSHIE SCRUB ⠀ ⠀ 👉in a blender, blitz white sugar with the peel of two lemons (don't be afraid to blend it super fine, its better that way!!)⠀ 👉add coconut oil until it reaches a wet sand like consistency⠀ 👉add any citrus essential oil . . . . . . #natural #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #dryskin #skinhealth #skingoals #healthyskincare
  • I MADE SOAP! From scratch!⠀ .⠀ I don’t know what it is but I LOVE a good soap bar. Any time I go to a craft fair or farmer's market and see a soap maker - I can't walk past without stopping!⠀ .⠀ And when I find that there's something that I enjoy that much - I get curious and want to learn how to make it for myself too.⠀ .⠀ I have no doubt that being in awe of something, constantly learning and being in that place of child-like curiosity: its what keeps me inspired and creative.⠀ .⠀ HAVE YOU TRIED MAKING SOAP? Any interest to learn soap making? . . . . . . #natural #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #dryskin #skinhealth #skingoals #healthyskincare
  • Skin care is really a WELLNESS practice - because the skin is an organ of communication - it has millions of receptors that are linked to the nervous system. It informs your inner world how to feel and respond. ⠀ .⠀ It's been studied that the act of stroking your skin - activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which releases oxytocin and produces a calm and relaxed feeling all over. The lips have parasympathetic fibers running throughout - stroking them stimulates those anti-stress effects! .⠀ There is a very old practice of self massage - that you can do everyday to not only soothe stress, but also help to promote circulation, stimulate lymph, release overwhelm and toxins from the body. ⠀ .⠀ All you need is a little oil from your pantry!! 👏⠀ ⠀ Detox Body Oil - release stressors!⠀ .⠀ 👉Sesame Oil ( traditionally used to promote detoxification in the body)⠀ ⠀ 👉Essential oil of choice. I added grapefruit + eucalyptus for cleansing, circulation and to relieve muscle tension/aches. ⠀ ⠀ - if you wanted to focus on relaxation alone - you might go for grapefruit + lavender⠀ ⠀ 👉The bottle is a soap bottle from Ikea⠀ ⠀ HOW TO USE: ⠀ ⠀ 👉pump oil into the palm of your hands, rub and then begin stroking your skin from the feet up through the legs. Your belly. Your bum. Your breast. Then from the hands up your arms and neck. ⠀ ⠀ 👉Practice this right before you shower - a few minutes is amazing!⠀ .⠀ I THINK IT'S TIME TO REDEFINE SKIN CARE AS WELLNESS! Are you in? :) * * * * * * * #natural #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #dryskin #skinhealth #skingoals #healthyskincare
  • I cannot stop dehydrating things. . I'll dehydrate an onion and gift my family the most fresh, flavourful onion powder ever!! . I'll dehydrate veggies and blitz them to make my own superfood powders. I'll dehydrate fruit and herbs to: ✨ to make infused water or cocktails! ✨ to make infused oil for food or body ✨ to make beautiful bath salts ✨ to make body scrubs, facial masks... . I just keep dehydrating and filling my kitchen with beautiful, healthy possibilites!! . ARE YOU INTO DEHYDRATING TOO? . PS: the lemon peels.. I dehydrated, then blended along with baking soda to make the lemon bath bombs that I shared a few posts back!! * * * * #natural #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #dryskin #skinhealth #skingoals #healthyskincare
  • When I was in high school, I used to buy this clarifying shampoo that was meant to be used once a week - in between your normal everyday shampoo.⠀ .⠀ Which meant at any given time - I had TWO different bottles of shampoo in my shower.⠀ .⠀ One to clean my hair. The other to remove the build-up from the first.⠀ .⠀ I get that people think creating your own skincare sounds complicated - but honestly it has simplified my life SO much!! ⠀ .⠀ If you want an effective + simple clarifying treatment: apple-cider vinegar is the best! It leaves your hair feeling healthy and refreshed. .⠀ I added a sprig of rosemary and drops of grapefruit essential oil to stimulate hair growth - and make it smell really good!⠀ .⠀ TO USE: 👉Mix 1-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of water. ⠀ 👉Shampoo as normal and then pour vinegar rinse over your head as slowly as you can. ⠀ 👉Massage your scalp and work through the hair. ⠀ 👉Rinse off and apply conditioner to the ends.⠀ .⠀ 👏Vinegar exfoliates the scalp⠀ 👏 Clears dandruff⠀ 👏Removes product build⠀ 👏Leaves hair feeling so fresh and so clean clean! ⠀ .⠀ WHO'S WILLING TO TRY A VINEGAR RINSE? or have you already taken the plunge? ✨✨ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #natural #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #dryskin #skinhealth #skingoals #healthyskincare
  • I LOVE skincare - and that only became true for me when I started to look at skincare differently.⠀ .⠀ In the beauty world, skincare is marketed as a product that you need to buy in order to look and feel your best. . But skincare is not a product, its a form of care.⠀ .⠀ And it's my favorite form of self care! Creating skincare at home for myself and for my family fills my days with so much beauty and color and nature and gorgeous scents. It truly makes me feel my best! ⠀ .⠀ 👉I made these bath bombs this weekend with real lemon peels and dehydrated lemon slices! I just used my bath bomb recipe from my website - it's simple and SO good!! ⠀ .⠀ WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SKINCARE TO MAKE OR WOULD LOVE TO LEARN TO MAKE? . . . . . . #natural #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #dryskin #skinhealth #skingoals #healthyskincare
  • I had the opportunity to train a group in New York. It was amazing - but everyone was coughing and sneezing and I thought... uh-oh. . Sure enough I caught the bug and have been feeling sick the last couple of days 🤧 . A few things have really helped: . 1 - Letting myself take it slow. As in, it's okay if I don't post for a couple days... . 2 - Tending to my indoor plants. I find that I feel good when I'm taking care of them... . 3 - Steaming with herbs. Rosemary, thyme, sage - helps in clearing up a runny nose, opening up breathing and clearing away bacteria. . WHAT DO YOU DO TO FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU'RE DOWN WITH A COLD? . . . . . #natural #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #dryskin #skinhealth #skingoals #healthyskincare

About Me

Hi, I'm Militza

I was a busy mom living in a busy city, frustrated by the things I learned about the products I brought into my home. I began to make my own skincare from necessity and it turned into a happy, healthy & green lifestyle. And now I want the same for you too.
