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.
