- Summer is here & so are temps up to 45*C! Phew!
In this video, we share how we’re adapting to the first two weeks of heat, even amidst our well running out of water! Calla gives a timelapse trailer for a yoga class she plans to record for those of you in need of a good movement and stretch session after a long day of sitting. She also shares a healthy alternative to the common sugar-laden beverages people tend towards to cool off: Hydrating Aloe & Grape Mocktail!
As promised here is a more extensive list of the health benefits!
Aloe Vera Juice:
- Very hydrating due to high water content.
- Contains 75 nutrients, including vitamin A, C, E, B12( one of the rare plants that is a source), Choline.
- Enzymes for digestive health. Helps with constipation (has laxative properties so best to not drink more than a cup a day) & hemorrhoids.
- Has anti inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal & antiviral properties, so helps out the immune system.
- Have a canker sore? Swishing with aloe vera juice can help heal and sooth the sore! I can vouch for that!
- Overall dental health helper.
- Wonderful for the skin.
- Helps with detoxification.
Notes:
- For people on medications that depend on cytochrome P450 34A & CYP2D6- talk to your doctor first, as it could increase the risk of side effects.
- Look for an aloe vera juice that has no added fillers, that is purified & organic. You can also easily make your own!
- For kids- the taste is strong so adding a bit more juice is helpful.
Purple Grape Juice:
- Contains a polyphenol called Resveratrol which is an antioxidant that has the following properties: anti-inflammatory, glucose and lipid regulatory, neuroprotective, and cardiovascular protective.
- May control hypertension
- Decreases the "stickiness" of platelets which decreases clotting
- Increases HDLs
- Helps vessels relax and dilate
- Can be calming...similar to a glass of red wine.
- May improve neuronal signalling which decrease the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
- Improves prostate health
- Decrease oxidative damage in immune cells.
- Protects microbial activity in the gut.
- Helps estrogen metabolism & may decrease the risk of Breast cancer.
- Supports thyroid function
Notes:
- Of course there is still naturally occurring sugar in this juice, so don't go drinking lots of cups of it everyday!
- It can be hard to find an organic, and no sugar added, purple grape juice. If you can't, use organic apple juice instead!

Just come across this video.....gorgeous. Whilst we moan in Scotland about our weather....windy and dull at the moment, we dont see the extreme heat. So grateful for our temperate weather and lush greenery all year round...
There’s definitely something to be said about lush greenery all year long! So dreamy:) We’re enjoying figuring out how to adapt here- it’s encouraging bc it’s easier this year than last!
Thanks for watching & take care:)
Couldn’t pass up those yellow boots! Congratulations on all the hard work and the way you are raising your boys!
Thank you so much! 💛💛

It’s a warme country Portugal
Lovely Alentejo! ❤s from Castelo Branco region! 👌👍
💛💛💛 Castelo Branco is also so lovely! Thanks for watching:)
Beautiful video! I’m definitely going to try that cocktail, sounds delish 😋 was so good to see you in person too, big hug xxxx
It was!
We like to assume nothing will get done in August over here and just spend our time keeping cool. It is not easy doing anything in extreme heat and takes such a toll on your body. I guess in Portugal, at least here, that's why everyone seems to go on holiday in August 😅
Keep cool guys 🩵
Haha yes that was a huge lesson for us last year and I’m just leaning into it this year😅 I’d be lying if I said I didn’t daydream about a holiday in August though;) Cheers to keeping cool and sane with kiddos in the heat;)
👍
10-20 and mix with 10-40 oil , would be fine until you can fine until you can find the 10-30 , because between the two mixed , the velosity of the oil would be the same as 10-30 Sometimes you just have to adjust to what is available and it is ok.
Thank you so much!
Any regret? All the best🙌🙌🙌🙌
Zero regrets! So grateful to be here and learn the land and elements:)
