After years of study, research and working in the health and beauty industry I have been inspired to share my knowledge and experience via be naturallyou, in the hope that it will help inspire a more naturally beautiful you.

In a world with so much conflicting information, advertising everywhere we turn, and a large number of brands concerned more with profit return than the long-term health of their customers, it’s no surprise that you may be a little misled and confused about what beauty products to use, what foods to consume, and how best to improve your natural beauty.

I hope to clear a lot of the confusion by providing straight-forward, factual information, including:
~ a list of cosmetic ingredients to avoid and why
~ a directory of natural ingredients that help to promote beautiful skin
~ an extensive listing of genuine natural and organic beauty brands
~ the foods to consume to help promote clean, clear beautiful skin
~ lifestyle choices to help bring about the natural sparkle in your eyes
~ lifestyle choices to help de-stress, and therefore invite more smiles and laughter to your day

If there’s anything else that you would particularly like to see featured on be naturallyou I’d love to hear from you. Email mail@benaturallyou.com

oh and if you’re interested in who I am personally, and what stepping stones I have walked on that have brought me to the one in which inspired me to create be naturallyou here goes…

I am holistic nutritionist. I choose to be vegan. I am an optimist. I have a consuming love for the beach, countryside and nature.  I am wholeheartedly in love with dogs. I am also crazy in love with cats and horses. I studied make-up artistry, skin care and image training. I also studied to be a personal trainer and holistic nutritionist. No matter what time of day it is, you’ll always find me sipping on a cup of herbal tea. I am constantly amazed at the healing powers of essential oils both physically and emotionally. I love to practice Zen Ki yoga and Tracy Anderson dance cardio. I am forever grateful for the lovely emails that I receive from people who have been “touched” by my brand, Be Genki. I love to travel, anywhere and everywhere. I think massage is a necessity not a luxury. My family means everything to me. You could play the drums in my bedroom whilst I’m sleeping and I wouldn’t wake up. I loved doing that Vipassana meditation retreat of 10-days silence and meditation so much that I went back again and again. Many years ago I use to party til dawn and was fortunate to learn the tough but valuable lesson at a very young age that excessive consumption of alcohol is merely a tool for escapism. I think its more fun creating my life as a happy and healthy adventure as opposed to escaping from it. I love to cook. I love giving and receiving energy work. I make a seriously kick-ass healthy and yummy smoothie. I spend a huge portion of my days researching and have an unquenchable thirst for educating myself moreso. I wish I could sing like KD Lang. I don’t understand how or when humans got to the point where we stopped caring for mother earth and when I hear about an oil spill in our oceans or see someone throwing a cigarette butt in the gutter it hurts every living cell of my body, but I also truly believe that it’s not too late for the world to change. I am profoundly inspired by the talent, enthusiasm and initiative of younger generations. I am also deeply inspired by my grandmothers, the most gracious women I have ever known. I love to garden, although I’m not that good at it. I feel naked without painted toenails.
