Snippets of the interesting, unexpected and entertaining side of wellness

I’ve created this new section for two reasons:

  1. To get ’stuff’ out to you much quicker, and
  2. So, I don’t overwhelm myself thinking I have to write my epic articles when I’m super busy working with my clients at OOMPH.

I’d say it’s win-win situation for all concerned! πŸ†πŸ†

Hormone-free birth control

"Womens problems" Intimate section...

Females do not have to be ‘on’ or ‘installed’ with contraception from the time they are a young teenager until the time they decide to procreate. Because when they do ‘flick the switch’ in their brain from not-getting-pregnant to getting pregnant, their body can take some time and effort to be convinced that they’re physically ready.

Nor should they have to resort to using condoms because it’s the only other option. (It’s a little thing I like to call: being under Durex duress…πŸ˜’)

Nowadays we shouldn’t have to conform to contraception, it should adapt to our needs: our preferences, our stage of life, the stage of our relationship/s. FemCap (a cervical cap) not only gives us autonomy over our reproductive health, it provides for truly care-free sex! 🀩

(Well, 96-98% care-free sex, when used correctly!)

Barista Oat Milk

Food Review/Advice

There’s a reason why there is a different version of plant milk to make coffee than there is to simply wet food at home. And that’s because normal plant milk would only serve to dilute your espresso and then curdle it. 😝

To make plant milk Barista grade you need to essentially double the fat content and add dipotassium phosphate.
