  • If you’re starting the week feeling overwhelmed at all... . Clay will make it better. Its magic. . It creates an opportunity for self care. It pulls out the excess Cleans away the irritants And and leaves you feeling new again. . Monday Magic Clay Mask . 2 tbsp clay powder 1 tbsp honey ( if you don’t use honey, leave it out - but add a few droplets of your favorite serum) Milk, herbal tea or water . Mix the clay and honey Add droplets of liquid until thick but spreadable paste forms . Apply, relax 15 minutes, remove in the shower 💚
  • When I was little I played alone a lot. I was quiet and I didn’t have a lot of friends. But I was really happy as a kid. . I used to love gathering flowers and pebbles and making my own little creations. I used to make playgrounds for bugs and beautiful mud pies. . Recently I heard someone say that your special gift, is that thing you did as a child, that no one taught you - that you just naturally loved doing. . And I realized that I’m still doing the same thing today! I still love spending time making things... playing with cacao powders, spirulina and clay... making a “mud pie” face mask! . It’s that little girl inside who knows what makes her happy. . How about you? What that thing you’ve always loved spending your time doing?
  • My 11 year old has it harder than I did at her age. I had insecurities and hormonal breakouts like her - but I didn’t have social media and selfies making me feel things harder. . When she started asking me for concealer and “pore-eraser”... I thought oh no! . So I reached out to my friend @rebeccacasciano. She’s a makeup artist, natural beauty expert and leads empowering beauty workshops. . She’s an awesome coach - and I know first hand the power of working with a coach. . I booked Rebecca for a virtual makeup lesson. She guided my daughter through the complexities of makeup and self image. They talked about colors and brushes, school and friends. . It was playful and fun, creative and positive. And she learned a lot! 👏 . One thing is for sure - my daughter does not want to learn about makeup from me! . And that’s okay. I love that we can turn to each other to fill those spaces - and support one another! Teachers, coaches, community - you are so needed! 💚
  • I moved to Singapore when I was 22. It was the year 2002 and Singapore was the most vibrant place I’d ever seen. . Phoenix Mansion. WOMAD. Every house party was a costume party! . I met my husband in Singapore. We made a family and a home there. And Singapore was the most nurturing place I could have asked for. . East Coast Park. Chicken Rice. Rooftop Playgrounds. . It was in Singapore where I started writing about living eco-friendly. I started my workshop business, SIMPLIFY, teaching people how to #makemore And I created The MARKETPLACE, a green shopping directory for Singapore helping people to #buybetter. What started small grew bigger than I could have dreamed of. I feel so lucky to have part of the most amazing green community. . After 15 years in Singapore, it was hard to move. But what was harder was the realization that I couldn’t support the green community in the same way from far away. . This is why I’ve decided to merge The MARKETPLACE with @orgayana, an incredible green magazine based in SG. I’ve watched them grow and stay true to their mission - and I’m confident they are the perfect partner to continue making Singapore our little green dot! . I’ll be over here writing and teaching about wellness through mindful skincare practices - but for SG specific information- #orgayana has you covered! . Singapore, I want to thank you for being part of my journey. I wasn’t born in Singapore but I was made in Singapore. . You are forever a piece of my heart ❤️
  • This weekend I took the most amazing herbalism course by the Florida @holisticlivingschool . We made solar infusions and plant medicine We dove deep into materia medica to learn about 20 herbs and how to use them to keep yourself well. . And what made me say “yesss✊” was when they taught us that herbal knowledge is meant to be shared with our community, making wellness available to everyone. . I know that’s why I’m drawn to learning more - so that I can continue sharing more 💚
  • 🎶You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are grey... 🧡
  • Picking essential oils is a process that I love! First I think about what my skin needs therapeutically: soothing. stimulation. cleansing... . Then I think about what I need emotionally: love. play. calm... . And I begin grouping the essential oils that answer these needs to create a blend. . Right now, Lavender + Atlas Cedarwood is answering all of my needs and wants! I made a body mist and body oil that I’ve been using all week (the recipe is on my blog!) . It smells warm, woody and refreshing - makes me think of forest bathing and swimming in a waterfall - even though I’m actually sitting behind a computer! And topically, it’s helping my skin feel so clear and calm 💚 I love the way we can always turn to nature and make something that answer to our own unique and ever changing needs! . What’s your favorite essential oil right now?
  • The skin is an incredible organ that is bonded to your mind and emotions. . The way you feel on the inside can show up on the skin (blushing, hives!) . And the way you touch your skin - can change the way you think and feel on the inside. . Dip your fingers into oil. . Place your hands onto your skin, and with long slow strokes massage your legs, your thighs, your belly, breasts, shoulders, neck, arms... . Your skin sends a message to your nervous system that all is well. You feel an internal calming, your heart beat steadies, your breathing slows down and deepens. And you feel transformed, glowing! . And all you needed was a little olive oil from your pantry, to feel beautiful inside and out. . This is why I love skincare so much! I love teaching that skincare is more than surface beauty. Skincare is about wellness and self care and knowing that the way you care for your skin can help you soften moments of stress & change the way you feel. 💚

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.
