Herbal Smokes
News have just emerged that the Australian Government has increased taxes on commercial cigarettes by 25% , starting from tomorrow!For smokers battling with the nicotine addiction this is a huge blow to their budget. Switching to Herbal Smokes can ease the transition to becoming a non - or occasional smoker as herbal smokes are not addictive.As a non-smoker of over 10years I know how difficult it is to quit in the first place - the hands want to be occupied, the first morning cigarette with t...

One of the highlights of coming back to AU was not being reunited with AC/DC but ... with our Rosie!
She endured a couple of weeks in a strange boarding kennel and was more than delighted to see us again! She is nearly 11 now and I feel that she is getting a bit too old now for such an unsettling change, without her 'pack' and lots of TLC.I dearly would have loved to take her with me of course, but an overseas trip is totally out of the question.Below are a couple of other ' Rosies' that wou...

Herbal Smokes
After being a 'non smoker' for over 10 years I was suddenly overcome with a craving for smoking - just the odd one here or there. I certainly didn't want to become addicted to nicotine again, or subject my body to all the nasties found in cigarettes, so I set out to find a non-addictive alternative of the herbal variety.After trialling several different herbs I settled for the combination now found in the NOTWeeds Smokin' Hot Blend.It has a dual meaning - it can be smoked of course - but also...

My love affair with Nettle and Molasses started when I researched alternatives to expensive vitamin pills and supplements. Nettle just takes the cake, it is so rich in nutrients, particularly iron - so important for any woman of a menstruating age - vitamins and minerals; it is almost like a stand alone food in itself! My personal preference is to drink it straight, or blended with another herb, depending on my state of wellness. At the same time I started to incorporate Molasses into my diet...
