Healing with Himalayan Salt
Himalayan Salt is the purest salt available, containing 84 of the possible 92 trace minerals contained in our own bodies. It is hand-mined (no dynamite used) in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains in Pakistan, and is 250 million years old, formed from a pristine, primal ocean. Himalayan crystal salt can be consumed as a mineral water by dissolving in water, dissolved in a hot bath for a healthy soak and detox, or it can be put it on your food or in cooking, instead of the standard tab...

Frugal in the New Year
Like many, I'm finding the necessity to be even more frugal as the new year begins. This is no reason not to go organic though, and while I've had to refrain from buying some of my more expensive favourites, I've happily replaced them with more economical favourites. This is what I find so enjoyable about searching out new (and not so new) products, is that there are so many really GOOD things out there. Currently I'm using Green People's Organic Gentle Cleanse with Chamo... Read Full Story
ISHTAR Liquid Mineral Makeup
At my age (ahem..39) a liquid foundation makeup seems far too heavy and line magnifying, which is why I've wholly embraced tinted moisturiser as a wonderful substitute. Mineral makeup has been on my radar for awhile now, and I have used mineral powder, but admittedly I have never been a powder person (except maybe when I was 16) and so this didn't really stick with me.I like liquids, and so having found this Ishtar liquid mineral makeup, I was so intrigued. Ishtar Skinlights liquid mi... Read Full Story
My Top Ten of 2008
Hello everyone, and happy holidays! I know I have been lost in oblivion for a few months and I do apologise. Life sometimes gets in the way, especially creatively when you are forced to think of other non-creative things! Anyway, I've come up with what I think are the best products, my favourites at least, that I've used this past year. Its been a busy year for Inspired Organics, and I scarcely realised that the blog has surpassed its one year anniversary. Many thanks to you dear re... Read Full Story
Bring out the warming oils..
As we set the clocks back one hour today (in Britain) I'm reminded that winter is well and truly around the corner and have already seen some changes in my skin and hair. I think we sometimes forget that our skins- well our bodies entirely- are in constant flux, always changing, so no matter if you have a tendency toward oiliness or dryness, your skin will change with the seasons. Central heating is a great one for drying out the skin and hair so I'm bringing out the oils.There have b... Read Full Story

Secrets from the Forest
" By using only two products you can make your skin toned and elastic, velvety like a peach." That is the opening introduction to Forest Secrets Skincare, and its a claim that is backed up by a no risk 30 day money back guarantee. Personally I feel if a skincare company is prepared to offer your money back, then they must be pretty confident in the effectiveness of their product. I have been lucky enough to sample this two step system and will report back after using it this month. ... Read Full Story
