Let’s talk and tackle mould this Thursday night via zoom!

Mould is toxic to everyone and shouldn’t be ignored. I learnt that the hard way when my house was subject to horrific mould growth in 2016 which left me very sick for months on end with respiratory issues and brain fog until I realised that mould was the culprit! 

This Thursday 4 March 7:30pm I’m running a free mould talk with naturopath Emily Rose Yates and building biologist Kelly Abeleven on how to safely tackle mould in both your house and your system. 

Each month I provide free talks on a certain health and wellness topic for Young Living members in my community. We are opening up the March mould talk to non YL members given how prevalent mould is in Sydney especially at this time of year when humidity is at an all time high. 

I get asked numerous questions daily on mould after my series of mould blogs went viral so bring your questions along and hear from Kelly, Emily and I as we support and help you through mould and how to keep your home and body mould free! 

To join, please email admin@staraniseorganic.com with your full name, email address and mobile phone number and we will send you the zoom link. 

This is not a talk to be missed!

Do you want to create a less toxic, healthier, home for you and your family in a positive and empowering way?

On Tuesday 23rd Feb 7pm I will be running a free workshop via zoom where you can hear why we have a responsibility to ourselves, our kids and the planet to: 

1. Kick the toxic chemicals found in conventional personal care products, make up, sunscreen and household cleaning products that are wreaking havoc on our health, our kids’ health and the planet’s health.

2. Healthy swap one product at a time at your own pace to all natural, toxic free, super powerful, cost effective versions in a positive and empowering way. Don’t worry - you won’t be racing around to numerous shops, place and websites trying to decipher all the greenwashing among hundreds of different brands. You can conveniently streamline everything to a one stop shop – and the sheer convenience of this plugged a enormous gap for me as a busy mum. 

3. Reclaim power by being your family’s alchemist and healer in the first instance by using therapeutic-grade potent plant botanicals to become pharmacy-free as nature intended. This is so empowering as a mum and plugged another big gap for me (especially when I get woken at 2am!).

If you want to be chemical free and pharmacy free in a way that feels empowering and not overwhelming, join me Feb 23rd 7pm. I cant’ wait to see you there and have you join me on this incredible journey of wellness and empowerment.

Apple Crumble

This is dessert is free of concentrated sweeteners and a great way to use up some excess apples. It also makes for a great breakfast!

Ingredients:

Filling:

• 5 apples, chopped  and cored (leave skin on)

• 1 bunch rhubard, chopped (discard green leaves)

• 2 star anise or 1 drop Young Living clove essential oil 

• 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder or 1 drop Young Living cinnamon bark oil

• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or 1 drop Young Living nutmeg oil

• 4 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
  

Crumble topping:

• 7 medjool dates (approx 160g), seeds removed

• 3/4 cup (90g) desiccated coconut

• 100g frozen butter, roughly chopped

• 3/4 cup (130g) activated nuts of choice eg almonds, hazelnuts, macadamias

• 1/3 cup (65g) activated cinnamon buckwheat
  

Directions:

1. Melt coconut oil or butter in a large frying pan or cast iron pot. Add rest of filling ingredients and cook on low heat, covered, until fruit is soft, stirring occasionally. Remove star anise. Add cooked fruit mixture to a large rectangular oven proof dish. 

2. To make crumble, process or pulse ingredients in food processor until it resembles a coarse crumbly mixture (Thermomix speed 9, 5 seconds).

3. Spread crumble mixture on top of fruit mixture and bake at 120 degrees Celsius for approximately 30 minutes. 

4. Serve with cream, cream fraiche or home made vanilla or macadamia nut ice-cream. 
   

Variations:

• Add 2 teaspoons of raw cacao powder to filling ingredients for a hint of chocolate.

• Substitute or include pears in the fruit filling.

• Add 1 drop of Young Living lime and/or cardamom essential oils for a more exotic flavour.
  

Any left over crumble mixture can be made into biscuits by adding the mixture to a food processor together with 1 egg and processing until well combined. Roll  into small balls and pressed down on a baking tray and bake at 180C for 20 minutes or until golden brown. In fact I typically make double the amount of crumble so that I have enough leftover to make a good sized batch of biscuits.
