The rise of water activated skincare products and why we need to embrace it

If you're at all familiar with Magic Earth Mumma's products you'll know that I am passionate about consumer education. I want you to understand 'why' I'm asking you to ditch soap and synthetics, but here's something else to chat about. Water. Why do I want to talk about water? Well first, let me ask you how 'green' you think your skincare products are. When you purchase something do you look at the label ingredients, or check the quantity of outer packaging used? Have you con

Understanding natural skincare treatments

My youngest daughter began to have some small skin irritations around her mouth. We identified that they were probably related to some colours included in a few sweets she had eaten, and possibly the onset of puberty related hormonal changes. You can do a little TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) investigation of what certain areas of the face relate to using a facial chart, and I'll be following up with a post all about this tool for understanding your skin. Dry, red and itc

Real Natural Skincare for maturing skin - what are you accepting?

...beyond the hype there is happiness, confidence and peaceful contentment. If you're on social media of any kind, you'll probably be seeing loads of ads targeted at maturing skin with the presumption that it is 'normal' to get pseudo natural treatments. It starts to make you think that these kinds of treatments are plausible routes to take to 'look good and feel great' (as those ads constantly remind you), intimating that you are less than that if you don't go in for these t

The key to self acceptance - what is it?

On May 11th, I attended an afternoon retreat with a group of women from different walks of life and vocations. The common thread that connected us all was that we are interested in or looking to establish self-acceptance and despite what current media throws at us to be the aesthetic goal, we'd really prefer to be our true selves. We think this is important for us and for everyone. Social media bangs on about self-care as if it's as easy as buying a stick-on face treatment ma

Mumma says, "Make it yourself." DIY Lip Balm Kit that's all botanical.

MEM's DIY Lip Balm Kit can be used to make all kinds of balms and salves. It's my very own 'fool proof' recipe for a balm base that you can make into many other items. Add in some essential oil to make it into a scented lip balm or perfume oil base, a medicated one to make a 'nicks and scratches' stick, or a soothing one for applying as a chest rub when ill or feeling delicate. Now you can choose between a DIY Lip Balm Kit with Beeswax or Botanical Wax, so if you're vegan or

Every now and again, someone comes along...

You know those times when you meet someone and there's something about them (and you) that makes a lot of sense that you are meant to meet up and connect, in some way, in this life. It's magic, but it's so often simply so 'normal' we don't give it the sparkles it really deserves. I somehow got the attention of Natalie from Kindred Toxin Free Facials at Bulimba in Brisbane a couple of years ago and at the time I was extremely flattered she'd even found me let alone wanted to k

3 Simple Steps to better skin

1. Stop using soap. 2. Stop cleansing in the morning. 3. Don't moisturise your skin, FEED it. That's not very like MEM information is it? Lots of 'stop' and 'don't'...I'm usually far more into positive assertion that negative directive. But I want to get to the point. And I want you to take notice of what you are reading. It's easy to connect-the-dots and see that mainstream products with a shelf life of up to 2 years+ will contain a lot of preservative. Herein lies the true
