The 'Good, Clean, Fun' Blog

To this day a jam sandwich still tastes better when Mum makes it. That’s because it was made with care and love. Contract manufacturers are are experts and know what they are doing but they are doing it for too many customers. They lose the soul.

So it's Saturday afternoon, I'm sitting at the Happy Shed all on my own. It's farrreeeezing. Aaron is at home with the boys and I'm rugged up, typing as quickly as I can so my fingers don't freeze. But then inspiration strikes... I need some of my elixir... No, not a bottle of rum. I need my turmeric latte.

Your skin can take a real beating from air conditioning, heaters, dry air, blistering winds and humidity. Cue: flaky skin, new lines, dullness, breakouts, or even yelps of pain! Sound familiar?

The short answer is... No. But we think you probably already knew the answer to that ;) The cosmetics industry hasn’t managed to come up with a totally natural nail polish yet, but they’re working on it.

We sit on the fence about this topic. On the one hand, we want you to always feel beautiful in your own skin, embracing your imperfections, perceived flaws and beyond. At the same time, we get countless emails from beautiful people all over the world asking for assistance with reducing acne scars, stretch mark scars, surgery-induced scars and more. So we're here to help!

A way to make your skin happy and healthy with one simple routine that doesn’t involve more than 10,000 products?! Impossible, surely! Nope... possible! Best of all you can get it done in the TV ad breaks. Whether you have dry, sensitive, oily or blemish-prone skin – there is a three step routine for you.

Do you remember that feeling you got just before your school report card was handed over to your parents? Well, we thought that was one feeling that could be put into the “ancient history” bucket, but when the results were ready to read from our big Happy Survey the self doubt butterflies were back with a vengeance.

Achieving healthy, post-summer skin can be quite the face-off (pun intended). The sun is a force to be reckoned with, and a battle your skin rarely wins. Even if you practice being sun safe on the regular, your skin may look and feel worse for wear coming into the cooler months.

Are you a mum of someone that falls into this all-important age group? Maybe your youngster is starting to experience the “joys” of oiliness and pimples? Getting an easy, healthy skincare regime down pat is paramount and can start teaching some great habits nice and early.

If only we were all blessed with perfectly clear skin—not a blemish, dry patch, or red spot in sight!

Nope, that’s just not the case but thankfully there are a bunch of beautiful natural ingredients that can be used as home remedies to help a number of common skin conditions.

Let’s face it, no one likes pimples; they’re like the gatecrashers of a great party, so the quicker you can get rid of them the happier you’ll be.  Whether you’re 14 or 42, fluctuating hormones can cause an acne attack, but when breakouts occur in adults – specifically females – it’s referred to as ‘hormonal acne’.

Happiness is the best thing in the world. It’s a feeling that’s instantly transforming, empowering and uplifting. It’s a feeling that inspires the deepest belly laughs and the brightest of smiles but as much as we wish it was, it is not always permanent.
