2024 has been an incredible year, and I’m truly overwhelmed by the amount of support from this amazing community we’ve built together! As we step into 2025, I’m super excited to launch a new series focused on becoming more self-sufficient. I’ll be sharing everything we’ve learned over the years to help you on your journey. Just remember: self-sufficiency is a journey, not a destination—and we’ll navigate it together. Wishing you the happiest festive season! And if you’re feeling down, just remember: the odds of you being born are 1 in 400 trillion. Never stop celebrating the beautiful gift of life! Much love, Alessandro & Iasmina #selfsufficient #selfsufficiency #selfsufficientliving #homesteading #DIY #fyp

You can use any store bough or homegrown herbs to make these DIY natural cough candies! They are the perfect homemade natural remedy when you feel under the weather and are ideal for the colder months 🥶 INGREDIENTS: 2 x cups water 2 x cups sugar (we used jaggery cane sugar) 1/2 x cup corn starch for coating the drops 4 x tbsp herbs (fresh or dry) 2 x tbsp fennel seeds 1 x tbsp liquorice root INSTRUCTIONS: - Add your herbs and spices to a pan, cover with hot water, and let them infuse for 30 minutes. - Strain the herbs and set them aside for making tea. - In the liquid, add the jaggery sugar. - Let it melt and come to a boil. - Allow it to reduce until you have a sticky paste. - Take it off the stove 2-3 times to avoid burning, and keep stirring; it may take up to 20 minutes. - Use cold water and drop a bit of the paste to check if it's the right consistency. - Pour it over a silicone mould or mat. - Let it cool. - Coat it in corn starch to prevent sticking. - Store in an airtight container in a cool space. - You can get creative and change the herbs with other ingredients like ginger or citrus. #candy #cough #naturalcandy #naturalremedy #DIY #homemade #herbs #natural #fyp

These DIY natural lip balm are the perfect natural skin care routine to take care of your lips especially with the colder season in full swing. They also make a great gift for the fast approaching Christmas holidays. INGREDIENTS: -100 x g lemon balm/mint -100 x ml olive oil -beeswax (ratio 1:3 after double boiling olive oil and herbs) -10 x drops vitamin e-oil INSTRUCTIONS 🥣💄 - Blend or chop the herbs with oil. - Add them to a heat-resistant jar and double boil for 2 hours, ensuring it’s simmering, not boiling. - After that, strain it using muslin and let the liquid rest for a minimum of 4 hours (we let it sit overnight) so the oil separates from the water. - Once ready, slowly pour it into another jar, being careful not to include the water. - Grate some beeswax in a 1:3 ratio to the liquid. - Double boil until the wax melts. - Let it cool for a few minutes and add the essential oil. - Mix well and transfer to your chosen container. - We don’t use essential oils in this recipe, but if you’d like a stronger aroma, you can add a few drops of peppermint essential oil. #lipbalm #lipcare #skincare #DIY #homemade #natural #naturalskincare #christmasgift #fyp

The easiest way to save your Christmas tree is to make a healthy, natural “sprite” by extracting the vitamin C contained in its pine needles. Roughly 1.8 million tonnes of Christmas trees are discarded every year, which is the equivalent of 178 Eiffel Towers or 145,000 London buses. Plant it in the garden, shred it to use as mulch, make a natural sprite—the possibilities are endless. Waste is a product of your imagination. Happy New Year and much love to every single one of you.
