I found this really beautiful minimalist brand called OFNATURE, from Wales where Iām from. I was so happy they were local, organic and in glass bottles. Iāve also found a herbalist business in Wales that make herbal tinctures for all sorts of amazing things, but you have to ask for access to their website. Nature is medicine.
Iāve been looking for ways to balance my hormones, support myself during PMS etc. if you donāt know her and youād like some organic tinctures, thereās a person in the USA under Moss Medicine. I would buy from her but the shipping to the UK is Ā£34. Forced me to wonder about local products!
I just want minimal plastic, more herbs and natural products that are cruelty free! So yeah, Iām proud of the badass vegan baddie I am. And yes I get b12, protein, iodine and all the stuff. Key is to eat a number of crazy foods, lean into an Asian style diet with spices, seaweed and fermented foods.
Food is a whole science!!

love this austrian woman who started sharing herbal remedies in the 1980s mainstream by making them look as chaste as possible lol (i still think she was a witch).
i used to work at an apothecary, and we referenced this book often to help customers. iāve also found immense benefit from some of her suggestions for menstrual cramps, tummy troubles, headaches, allergies/respiratory issues, etc, plus i love the ritualistic element of preparing and taking these herbs. some of her recommendations are a bit ?? but otherwise i trust her, just use your discernment.
if you are interested in incorporating herbs into your life, i would start with stinging nettle, calendula, yarrow, and swedish bitters (be careful w this one bc it is literally 40% alc and u should only take like a tsp at a time).
was just reminded of this bc im trying to grow my hair out and needed to reference some of her suggestions for a tincture im making
i linked the book and hereās a picture of a recent edition <3

Recently I have started exploring my local woods and parks for herbs and leaves to use for teas and cooking. Today I found Three Cornered Leek and some wild garlic growing right next to it ! I love running around with my little plant identifier app and becoming more and more able to identify all the edible ( and terribly not edible) plants growing around me each day. I pop on my little foraging playlist that makes me feel like a wizard and I skip home with my baggie full of leaves:)
This is the wild garlic I found today

Having body confidence is a big one for me too!
I want to start posting my body more, for sure. I saw Lola Young post a Tik Tok of her in a bikini in Mexico and itās so inspiring! She looks natural & amazing!
Mine favourite compliment was given yesterday when I was performing at a huge festival in Wales. It was a small stage, I only did one set and I forgot some of the lyrics to my first 2 songs which are only half baked. But the third song got a lot of attention š„° Two ladies came up to me & said I was the Welsh BeyoncĆ© š„³ Said they feel like theyād witnessed a star in the making. Slowly building the confidence to do the main stage of the next festival!
I didnāt pursue my music career until I was 30, self doubt got in the way, being bulliedā¦ trauma, anxiety & the fear of being seen. Itās a very vulnerable space being an artist. Itās also hard work!
But I told myself I wouldnāt be happy in life unless I did it. And now I can say Iām a solo, performing artist at major festivals š„¹š

So many emotions. So much vulnerability put out into the world to share with others.
Fear of being seenā¦ judgement.
Sometimes itās totally miserable and itās hard to believe that someone else could enjoy or relate to that feeling and that music.
But, I have to remember that one persons pain is anotherās pleasure in some strange way and that we all need to be sad and embrace that feeling sometimes.
Being a songwriter is about being able to say or convey feelings and experiences in a way that someone knew they felt, but couldnāt express! Itās about connection and letting others knew they are not alone.
Iāve always loved hearing a song and thinking āthatās exactly how I feel! I couldnāt have put those words and that imagery together better myselfā! Itās amazing when we can hop on someone elseās frequency and their emotional-visual experience.
