What a year it has been! But it's not over yet, winter is well and truly here so we have been taking action on ensuring our mind and body stays healthy. 

Although we have all been busy like crazy! With work, Christmas shopping, school runs and all their extra activities - trying to fit in some 'me time' feels impossible. 

Here at Healthy Buzz we are only starting to find time for ourselves and enjoy the festive season with our loved ones.  

Stress management is so important, particularly during this time of year when we are trying to finish work deadlines for Christmas and not to forget the family commitments while also balancing Covid 19 restrictions.

It can become overwhelming balancing work and family life while also making time for yourself and other interests. Add the stress of a pandemic and not being able to see friends and family and you've got yourself mentally and/or physically unwell - you must make stress management a priority! 

We hear a lot of people say 'your health is your wealth' but it truly is. If your brain and body is not kept well and healthy, everything around us will not stay well and healthy. We put so much money into looking after our physical appearance with new clothes, make up or getting our hair done and often forget to invest in our wellbeing!

This year everyone seems to be shopping local and supporting Irish businesses when purchasing their Christmas Gifts.

2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, particularly on businesses across the country who have had to close shop or make huge adjustments to run their business in line with regulations and to keep customers and staff safe.

Luckily online shopping allows us to support local businesses, get presents for our loved ones this Christmas and stay safe from the crowds in shopping centres. Not to mention the boredom of queuing or the hassle of trying to bring the kids with you!

Most days if not every day we use our trusted make up brushes to apply our make up. Yet many of us are not washing our brushes regularly or with the right cleaner!

It's so easy to forget to wash our make up brushes and just layer over as we rush out the door but you could be creating long term skin issues and irritation from using dirty brushes. 

Back to school we go!

After long last our kids will be heading back to school! It's been a long six months but thankfully we are returning slowly but surely back to normality. 

It's been difficult for our kids who were stuck at home, unable to visit their friends so let's celebrate their return to school. 

Hopefully our children going back to school will relieve some stress for parents working from home and will allow others to return back to work during school hours. 

Although there is a lot of preparation this year! Not only do we have the usual list to buy like pens, bags, copies, shoes and uniforms but now we need to ensure our children have what they need to protect themselves from Covid 19 while they are at school. 

Dr. Bronners all in one soaps have proven to be amazing for cleaning nearly anything and everything but let's have a look at their Tea Tree range!

Tea tree is an essential oil that is known to treat many skin issues as an alternative to conventional and harsher ingredients. 

Dr. Bronners Castille Soaps are all about being organic, versatile, and effective - so it's no wonder they've added Tea Tree as one of their many scents.
