Educate - For Your Health's Sake

Following on from my ‘Making a Change’ blog post, I thought I would share with you some of my favourite ‘health/wellness documentaries
’. I am slightly obsessed with these videos and could spend days, maybe weeks even caught up and researching the issues they bring up.

For me and many others, education is power – and in a day where everyone seems to be looking at quick fixes and fad diets – I feel a lot of people need to get back to basics and re-educate themselves on how to eat and what is truly healthy.

This is definitely a topic I am quite passionate about and I am seeing more issues with how today’s society approaches health and wellness.

To help bridge the education gap, I thought I would share with you all my TOP 5 health & wellness documentaries. Each of these documentaries left me feeling inspired, asking questions and wanting more. 

5. Vegucated 

This isn't so much about health and nutrition as a whole but solely focused on veganism. It follows the journey and discovery of 3 Americans from eating a 'normal' diet and being very closed off to the option of veganism. I liked that this was pushing the plant based agenda, demonstrating that we can eat and achieve the same results without including food products. Warning this documentary is graphic at times.

4. Fed Up

One of the older documentaries, it has lots of solid great information, however it is not as punchy or as engaging as many of the others. I think this is possibly due to it being produced in 2002.

3. Food Inc.

One of the first of these types of documentaries I watched which really cemented what I thought and helped open my eyes even further. I guess this fuelled my desire to know more, learn more and make better smarter decisions. - 'Warning' - this may turn you vegan - not that that would be a bad thing!

2. Hungry for Change

It was tough to pick between this and my #1. This is a big eye opener, which leaves you feeling empowered, inspired and helps you regain your focus.

1. That sugar Film

This is easily my favourite health documentary EVER. I don't feel I learnt anything massive from it as I have seen others and done so much research, but the way this video was put together was really punchy. It really left its mark, everyone I refer this video too absolutely loves it as well.

I know there are many more, but these are just my personal top 5. Do you have any health and wellness documentaries that you love? I am always looking to expand my knowledge and widen my views. Make sure you leave a comment.

DIY Delicious Lip Scrub


All right beauties, nothing ruins plump kissable lips like dry chapped skin!  So lets get those kisser’s ready. This little tip is actually perfect for those cooler harsh winter months but we sometimes forget how much attention our lips need during the summer months as well. 


This simple DIY can be made with what you already have in your kitchen pantry. 

You will need: 
· Small Bowl 
· Teaspoon 
· Small storage container (I got mine from the grocery store, it is used for storing salad dressings) 

Ingredients: 
· Brown Sugar 
· Coconut Oil (you could use olive oil, honey or Organic Shea Butter instead) · Vanilla essence to taste (I skip this step as it already tastes amazing) 

Depending on size container which you will be storing the lip scrub. In a bowl place enough brown sugar to ¾ fill your container. Slowly add a few drops of oil and mix. You want to be left with a course consistency but have added enough oil that the products combine. 

And there you go, you have just made a very simple yet very effective and not to forget extremely tasty lip scrub! 

I personally will use this in my morning routine, prepping my lips before applying lipstick. This also ensures my lip products apply smoother and last longer throughout the day. 

I also have a video on my YouTube Channel all about this exact lip scrub if you would like to check that out as well. Quick Tip | Natural Lip Exfoliant 

Make sure you let me know if you have any similar recipes which you make at home or any other amazing DIY, I would love to hear about them! 

Much Love, S .x.
