Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression have become a more and more “common condition” nowadays. Many of us can relate to them at least at some point in our lives. It’s important to know that anxiety and depression are not something we need to fear, rather, they are human’s natural emotional responses to external stresses and triggers. In other words, they are the results of our survival instincts. What makes real differences in our lives is how to deal with them.

Trauma Healing

Everyone is most likely to encounter trauma/s in life despite the scales of the event. It can be bullying from school or workplace, physical or emotional insult, war, natural disasters, and the list goes on. Although human beings are an extremely resilient species, all traumas do leave traces in us, they affect our minds, emotions, biology, and even immune systems.

Relationship Counselling

Relationships, especially intimate relationships might well be the most challenging task in our lives. Treating a partner as an enemy is not a rare occurrence. Unfortunately, hating our partner or treating him/her badly does not make ourselves any better or happier, quite the contrary indeed. Relationship tension is a killer at home, it also hurts ourselves inside out.

Self-Connection

Do you really know yourself well? Are you connected to your true self? The exploration and discovery of oneself are infinite, and this might be what we come to this life for: to know yourself, and to understand life. To know who you are, and to be comfortable with who you are, no matter what others think about you, is the secrecy of being a content and happy person.

Home made soaps with beautiful looking and inviting smells

Today, I would like to start our holistic living journey from something easy, handy and arty – home made cleaning and skin care products.

You might wonder: “Why we trouble self to make them at home while we can buy them in supermarkets, shops or online?” Well, the first answer is – it’s so much fun and so much cheaper! Hand-making your cosmetic and cleaning products is like running a magic camp. You get to choose the ingredients; you can control how you make it and how you finish with it. It’s all your call; it is empowering! You know exactly what are in the products which you and your loved ones use daily. Handcrafting is also a great opportunity to practice mindfulness. When your mind and hands are fully engaged with this creative process, you are more likely to be present and mindful. Of course, another important reason for this is to cut down unnecessary, nasty chemicals that harm ourselves and our environment. Our planet has already suffered from those disturbing chemicals in all earthy systems, air, soil, rivers, ground water and oceans, as well as inside of our bodies. By hand making home products, we can at least contribute a small part to sustain our planet.

I started to be interested in homemaking products from 2013 while my son, Linos was born. Like many other mothers, the concern of baby’s health motivated me into more organic, eco-friendly and environmental responsive products. However, reading through many those products’ comprehensive ingredient lists made me longing for more simple and organic options. Sailed from there, soap was the first thing I ever conquered. Then, lotion, lip balm, cleaning spray, cleaning scrum, candles, bath fizz balls, dish wash detergent, dish wash powder, and washing liquid, they all come along easily. I now happily and proudly said Goodbye to those products in supermarkets. The excitement and joy in this process is beyond description. But most important message here is that it is not difficult at all, and everyone can do it at home!
