Welcome on our journey!

PURE ECO is your local 'healthy living resource on the corner'...

we are helping to make Eco mainstream...with natural and healthy living product reviews and features...

while the chemicals added to everyday consumer goods may not be bad (or so people tell us) many times they are un-needed and certainly not good

PURE ECO brings you 'the consumer' a choice, making it easy to find better alternatives than what is currently available mainstream

it's how it used to be, and how it should be..with the convenience of today......MODERN RULES APPLY!!

everyday steps to a PURE ECO life....

plant your favourite herb

read labels of cosmetics - knowledge is POWER

read your food labels

buy whole unprocessed food

for your baby...only use pure & natural fabrics (merino, wool, cotton)...nothing synthetic...

your food should be produced locally, or where possible produced within your country...seasonal treats such as strawberries are just that...seasonal!!

Christmas Tree...no more!

With all the pros and cons for REAL vs PLASTIC in the christmas tree debate..here is the way I'm recycling mine..

my vegetable seedlings get hell from slugs and snails...and to date I've spent a lot on organic pest control for the garden...I've found an ecologically and economically sound alternative...dried pine needles work wonders as they scratch the precious underbelly of any critter than tries to cross them...and just like magic no more nibbled or disappearing seedlings...

...I actually prematurely removed the tree from inside to it's outside resting place as I have some seedlings in need of protection....hopefully it will last all year...roll on Christmas 2009!

Bring on a Pure Eco 2009



This year I will bring you even more wonderful unique and natural foods, devine cosmetics, lifestyle options, gardening tips, fantastically simple and delicious recipes and more..and I can't wait. ..did I mention competitions..

Pure Eco inspires me to reinvent the 'wheel' and to look at what I do for and with my family in a different light and even to try to improve.

I'll share with you my ups and downs in the vegetable garden and what I have learnt and taught along the way.

With economic doom and gloom predicted across the globe, 2009 is the year to sieze the opporutnity to really improve our lives in a natural sense. The economic benefits will be huge, while improving the lives and future for our children and families

....in a Pure Eco sense a 'recession' may even be a good thing...albeit the tough way to find out.

Best,

what pure eco doesn't like....


sodium laureth sulfate (SLS)

food manufactured in china (for no other reason than $$)

MSG (mono sodium glutamate and all alternatives....food shouldn't need enhancers to make it taste good!!)

imported fresh fruit and vegetables...who needs snowpeas from Kenya in the middle of winter?

polyester and synthetic baby clothing & accessories...why would you wrap your baby in plastic???
