Hi and Welcome Wise Women
I hope you have enjoyed a happy and healthy week.
Thanks for visiting me and sharing in our life’s journey here at Wise Womens World.
MY WEEK
Winter has hit here in Sydney with icy winds and torrential rain. Oh how I envy those of you that live in the warmer areas of Australia or those of you that are living overseas, experiencing the wonderful onset of summer! I just love summer...bliss.
Things I DO like about winter –
*Not having to shave my legs
*Wearing bulky clothes to cover up the extra kilos
*Huddling beside an open fire
*Drinking an indulgent hot chocolate or three
...That’s it though!!!
New Stories -
I have recently discovered the incredible benefits of Chia seeds. Have you heard of them? I think they are amazing and want to share some of the benefits with you (see below).
I’ve just finished reviewing Mary O’Dwyer’s latest book for our book club, ‘Hold It Sister’ and it’s compelling reading (see below).
Magic Seeds
Lose weight and have more energy.
Chia Seeds are one of nature’s superfoods – high in essential fatty acids, protein, soluble fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They are easy to use, taste good, and can become a valuable addition to your diet.
The chia seeds were originally used by the Mayans, Aztecs and Southwest Native Americans as an energy supplement. Chia actually means strength in Mayan. In Mexico they say that one tablespoon of chia seeds can sustain a person for 24 hours. Chia seeds are great for athletes because they are highly hydrophilic, meaning they can absorb large amounts of water. They can hold 10 times their weight in water making them a great enhancer in hydrating our bodies.
Chia seeds contain -
- 2 times the protein of any other seed or grain
- 5 times the calcium of milk
- 2 times the amount of potassium as bananas
- 3 times more iron than spinach
- and of course, copious amounts of omega-3 and omega-6. 20% of Chia seed is Omega 3 oil and 7% of its oil is Omega 6 oil. This is the perfect balance of essential fatty acids.
A 15g serve of chia seeds contains almost zero sugars.
I take Chia seeds every day – find out more here.
Hold It Sister
Afraid to sneeze with a full bladder?
Want a better sex life?
Mary O’Dwyer’s latest book ‘Hold It Sister’ is a fantastic ‘must have’ read. It is an easy to read guide with photos and clear illustrations for maintaining a healthy and functioning pelvic floor, which is vital to us women.
I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review Mary’s latest release as her first book, ‘My Pelvic Flaw’, really made an impact on me and changed the way I use the toilet (sorry, maybe a little too much information).
This book is ideal to pass onto your daughters or granddaughters as it contains vital information for women of all ages. Knowing how to control your pelvic floor correctly is a great habit to get into at an early age. Read more here –

Wise Words
“Once you can laugh at your own weaknesses, you can move forward. Comedy breaks down walls. It opens up people. If you’re good, you can fill up those openings with something positive. Maybe you can combat some off the ugliness in the world”.

Know that you are worthy and beautiful. Beauty comes from the heart.
