♥ First up, briefly tell us a little bit about yourself!
Hello! My name is Lavida Rose. I facilitate private workshops in stress transformation, emotional resilience and lifestyle enhancement. I love food. I love animals. And I never get the two confused. Philosophically, I love any form of elevation and expansion. I love creation. I love reverence.
♥
♥ Tell us about your daily beauty routine.
My daily beauty routine starts with compassion, followed by a preferred 5am start (exceptions happen!). To me, beauty begins with how we relate to things, people, animals and the environment around us. I like to get the most out of the day which motivates me to get an early start. Beauty begins with how I feel and think, then, I add on a few basic extras like home grown lemons, fair trade coconut oil and nourishing food.
♥
♥ What’s the one beauty treatment you can’t live without? And your favourite place to have it done?
I can’t live without the beauty treatments created and shared by mother nature; sunshine, fresh air, waterfalls, natural phenomena, the ocean, mountains and hills. The choices are too competitive to have favourites!
♥ Who do you trust with your hair in Perth, and why?
Me! I always have a pair of scissors handy and most anything else which is used at a hair-dresser; would be a no go for me, I prefer to be chemical and pollutant free.
♥
♥ Favourite budget / at home beauty treatment?
Ooh that’s a close call between organic coconut oil and raw organic lemon. I cleanse with fresh lemon juice (gradual dilutions are best on sensitive skin) and I do most everything else with coconut oil; moisturize, condition my hair, brush my teeth and eat!
♥
♥ Your three, absolutely cannot live without, favourite products?
– My own unlimited supply of Niulife Fair-trade Organic Coconut Oil
– Home grown organic lemons
– Organic Rosehip Oil
♥ Do you have any secret tips you use to keep looking / feeling great?
Heart consciousness and an open mind, these two things make a big difference, as does, connecting with natural elements, like sunshine and fresh air!
♥ What beauty treatment/ wellbeing activity would you love to try but haven’t yet? (Due to time, money, scared etc!)
This would definitely include travel to experience something exotic in another country, like natural hot springs or a mud bath or a waterfall massage.
♥
♥ Describe a typical day of eating for you.
A typical day of eating for me; is all about conscious consumption. Being aware of both energy lines in which food is prepared and produced and enjoying taste, texture and composition. My Eat-style is all about wholefoods (food that comes from the earth and stays that way until you buy it). My eat-style is also all about simplicity. It is about having a clean and clear palette and consciously enjoying everything that I swallow. I don’t eat anything which endured any suffering and I don’t eat foods that have been altered. A typical day of eating for me is … nonstop pleasure!
♥ Describe your fitness routine.
It starts with moving, sedentary lifestyles are best left to meditating gurus. If there’s music I will dance (sometimes even if there isn’t music I still dance), I love stretching (so, yoga is a practice that meets me at 5am), Inner strength is an essential part of my fitness routine, so my abdominals always get daily attention. I also walk, hike, swim and run (but not all at the same time). Our bodies thrive on oxygenation and circulation, how about sending all that heart energy around your own physical universe?
♥ Do you take part in any alternative therapies or take supplements? If so, discuss.
No, we have access to everything we need, everything else is just entertainment.
♥ How do you like to relax? What are your favourite ways to de-stress?
Quality connections with people, nature, art and creation.
Thanks to Lavida for sharing her inspiring routine. If you have any questions please leave them below 🙂
Be well,
xoxo
As a serious organic coconut-oil fan, I love this! Have never tried cleansing my skin with lemon juice, so you’ve given me a great idea – thank you!
=) enjoy the lemon cleanse!
Wow I’ve never tried lemon cleansing either, I think it might be too much for my skin as it’s prone to spots and dryness!
I have been using coconut oil as a lip balm lately though, but I usually just lick it all up 🙂
yep lemon is a great natural cleanser .. but just a few tips ~ always moisturise afterwards (i use coconut oil), avoid going directly into the sun after cleansing and start with dilutions for sensitive skins (which means using part lemon juice part pure water) .. you can build up to full strength, but remember, lemon is a natural acid and will act as a ‘chemical’ peel .. just a natural and organic way of doing so. enjoy! … oh ya! coconut oil is sooo good to eat!
Amazing, thanks so much for that.
I might give it a go one day when I’m feeling brave 😉 x
Lavida Rose seems like a very beautiful person, who is confident and completely sure of herself.
I always enjoy these posts, I am very interested in what others do to look after there body and keep healthy on the inside and out.
