1. Superfeast Mason Mushrooms
“This is a longtime favourite and pantry staple! Superfeast’s entire range is sourced using eco-farming practices that support immune wellbeing and vitality. Being brilliantly versatile and tasty, I love adding it daily into foods or drinks. From spiced hot cocoa to matcha and miso soups to additions in sauces and cooking, I notice a distinct lift in mental clarity when taking these goodies.”

2. Nutra Organics Collagen Beauty
“I love that this has sustainably sourced collagen (Type I & III) to help support my skin, hair, and nails. And I’ve been loving this in a range of things from hot drinks, baking, gummies and handcrafted chocolates. The collagen powder goes so well in both food or drinks and I’ll even pop some in my little one’s meals for extra nourishment.”

3. BioBalance Coconut Oil
“BioBalance Coconut Oil is multipurpose – lovely in the kitchen as well as a moisturiser + hair oil. It’s also certified organic, premium cold-pressed, and ethically sourced. We love cooking with this coconut oil to enhance the flavour of our ingredients as well as adding it to Christmas baking like gingerbread to bring out coconutty notes.”

4. Dr. Hauschka Regenerating Intensive Eye Serum
"This has felt like silk upon my skin! A lovely gift idea for mums, aunties, sisters, daughters and beyond. The serum is from a lovely brand that’s NATRUE certified, 100% natural, and cruelty-free for radiant under-eyes.”

5. BioTrace Electrolyte Liquid with Zest
“So handy for the summertime! Being a sugar-free, bioavailable concentrate for instant hydration, the drops taste wonderful in water, iced drinks or cubes. I love making lemonade inspired mineral water on summer days by adding a few drops of this, and a squeeze of lemon juice to a jug of water and storing it in the fridge.”

Isabella’s eco-minded traditions
Looking to reduce your environmental impact this silly season? Here’s 5 easy, mindful tips Isabella stands by for a healthier planet:
“Delving into December festivities, some eco-minded traditions we’ve been doing each Christmas is considering ways where we can reduce our environmental impact via focusing on reusing and repurposing materials (or avoiding single use things entirely)."
1. Creative wrapping paper
“Fabric cuttings, pillowcases, wrapping things in hand-picked flowers or reusing last year’s gift wrapping is always a win in my household!”
2. Alternative Christmas trees
“Each year since my little one was born, we have brought a pot plant indoors and decorated it with handmade or heirloom ornaments.”
3. Going hand-made
“This year, the majority of gifts I’m giving are hand painted watercolours with thrifted frames.”
4. Supporting local!
“Whether through local businesses or friends selling art, baking, herbal teas, you’d be surprised the difference it makes when supporting locally rather than buying from the big businesses.”
5. Biodegradable packaging
“I love considering the long-term use of gifts and their lifespan ~ extra points for things that are fully biodegradable! Packaging included, and I love that HealthPost embraces this philosophy too!”
