Beauty of Wisdom

Thinking about wisdom and what it really means.

How does Wisdom differ from Intelligence?

It’s not fact gathering, learned knowledge or experience.

Wisdom has moved past the struggle of learning and into a wellspring of inner knowing

Certainly looking into a face of an older, loving person, there is a whisper of beauty that was, and a knowing that life has been lived and felt fully experienced.

Yes there is a beauty in wisdom

Laughter is an Anti-Ageing formula

When we laugh, any stress we might be feeling leaves the face, relaxes the body and calms the mind.

We are transported into the present moment.

Even watching someone laughing, makes us want to laugh with them or smile. ( check out my laughter videos on You Tube by clicking here)

Laughing and smiling exercises the face muscles and fine lines disappear.

I have just delivered another wonderful order of Purestuf Natural Skincare Products to Solar Springs Health Retreat at Bundanoon in the Southern Highlands just south of Sydney ( www.solarsprings.com )

This is the wonderful place where I conceived the idea my skincare range over 10 years ago, to help my gorgeous husbands cracked lips (kissable lip balm was the first product created – click here for the full story – “the kiss”)

Our first order was delivered in July last year and the relationship between both businesses continues to grow in a wonderful win win environment

I can highly recommend staying at Solar Springs in a friendly nurturing environment and have done so many times over the last 30 years.

This is an extract from an interview Chrissy did with Kate Hanson from Ikigai ( www.ikigai.com.au ) about 2 years ago.

19 April, 2009.  Brand: Purestuf Natural Skincare

Chrissy Birdsall, founder of Purestuf, tells us more about the inspiration behind her natural skin care products and shares some tips on being beautifully green!

How did Purestuf come into being – what inspired you?

It all started because my husband had damaged dry lips from sailing as young boy. I played around with making natural lip balms to help. After a while, I studied up on organic creams and their ingredients and came up with Kissable  Lip Balm. It was so healing for him that I was encouraged to make a full natural skin care range, which I tested on loved ones. Their comments helped name a few of the products, like Bliss and Goddess.

What has been your proudest moment so far during the growth of Purestuf?

There are so many from every step of the way but here’s one I’m particularly proud of – five independent women with different skin types tested Goddess Day Cream and they all rated the cream as 5 out of 5.

If you could wave a magic eco-wand and fix just one environmental problem, what would it be?

My dream come true would be for skin care companies to stop using damaging chemicals in their skin care products.

For some time, anti-oxidants are actually thoroughly associated to the prevention of anti-aging but it really is only lately that they’ve experienced enormous media exposure. Anti-aging skin issues have been very much discussed about for over fifty many years and science has not quit researching and finding solution to fight this dilemma. A school of knowledge say that it will be ruin of totally free radical that brings about aging. Other people known as it the oxidative stress procedure.

The rave about anti-oxidants as anti ageing treatment began when they were observed to play a good role in countering this oxidative anxiety phenomenon following the genetic modification of the certain fruit fly by putting in enzymatic antioxidants also it lived a thirty percent longer lifetime than its average everyday living span. The fruit fly also showed much less age-related ageing or oxidative damage. This outcome pressed the scientists to further carry out exactly the same study on humans to validate that anti-oxidants are a great choice to fighting the unpleasant indicators of aging.

Within the mid of 1990s, a study carried out confirmed that the highest count of oxidative damage transpired with disabled elderly persons while the lowest counts have been in more youthful nutritious adults. In a similar research, it absolutely was identified that blood levels containing anti-oxidants – Vitamins E and C have been connected with couple of incapacity and maturing symptoms though cost-free radical destruction was connected to individuals without it.

Amazingly, this altered the way in which individuals view older age. Though elderly folks are associated with wrinkling skin, senility, disability, different diseases, as well as other growing old signs, experts think these aren’t final results of maturing per se but instead of unsuccessful maturing. This is a incredibly intriguing pointer that’s worthy of note by anyone specifically those so worried about growing old also it consequences.

Unsuccessful or ungraceful aging may be the course of action that occurs when the human body is inefficient of fighting away destructive things and oxidative pressure. These end result from the weakening of the immune system and failure of the skin to regenerate and recover effectively. When an aging individual is noticeable with maturing skin symptoms and diseases, it truly is evidence that they have not lived a healthful, good lifestyle.

Instead carelessly treating oneself causes a lot of aspects of the human physique for being overlooked also it deteriorates slowly. These things inform men and women that antioxidants perform a very crucial part in permitting anyone to age group healthily as well as wonderfully. Antioxidants in addition a healthful and good lifestyle inhibits the dreaded signals of ageing which make an individual feel much less assured and weak later on in everyday living.

It can be essential to begin getting care of our body and wellness early in lifetime. Regular ingestion of antioxidants strengthens the human being physique and this reflects around the skin. Nowadays, several techniques exist to consider antioxidants as anti ageing treatment products and directly from foods full of them.
