Find the Best You! Naturally.

If you’re someone (or know of someone) who seeks natural pure vitality, you are in the right place. We cover wholesome things that nourish your mind, body and soul — The focus on connecting to the nature within and around to regain balance and a wholistic perspective.

TAKE TIME TO UNPLUG THE NOISE, LOOSEN THE SHACKLES AND LOOK TO NATURE FOR CARE!

Welcome to my site. I’m Mary-Anne, the founder and editor of WTW. Here, you’ll find a bunch of articles about natural things and ways to find balance in today’s demanding world. I believe that having a robust mind, soul, and body in balance with nature, both within and around you, is real freedom. The journey to reach this freedom is what I’ve coined, Self Wilding. Whether you’re into eliminating toxins from your surroundings, personal care, or into hiking, running barefoot, or other approach to getting a nature shot, I hope that you’ll find something that will interest you here. -> Learn more about me and WTW

ABOUT SELF WILDING…

‘Self Wilding’ is a term I use to define a freeing of your deepest self to be who you need to be, to be true to you. It’s not about remoteness in the wilderness nor any brash idea of wildness. It’s about feeling whole and balanced and connected to nature, to counteract effects of modern demands.

My Self Wilding series of articles will take you through all you need to know about it, to remedy the effects of stress in modern life using natural approaches to achieve balance and harmony.
