We all long for a skin product that will transform our skin. A product that will tighten, clear impurities, get rid of pigmentation and somehow miraculously give us dewy, gorgeous skin. I think it’s fair to say, we’re all still waiting? I used to constantly read all about the supposed science of each new innovative product, eagerly trying the most …
It’s amazing how society (for that read “the press”) influences how we feel about getting older. I speak as one who has had their age bandied all over the media in the last week. If people didn’t know my age before they certainly do now. So how do I feel about that? Well, I have mixed emotions. On the one …
It’s going to take a brave person to use the latest “fecal” method to fight infection but I suppose if you’re sick enough, you’re going to go for it. This 4 part gut series by nutritionist Fleur Borrelli, shows how incredibly important gut microbes are and how they affect every facet of our health and well being. The more removed …
Here we continue our series on the gut by nutritionist Fleur Borrelli. In this third part we look at why it’s so important to keep a healthy balance of the good and bad gut bacteria. An imbalance can cause all kinds of problems. Diet, supplements (in particular digestive enzymes and probiotics) and stress management can all help.
Last year I fell in love with Green People’s Age Defy+ range. Effective, organic products at a great price. And now they’ve got a fantastic addition to the range. It’s a tinted moisturiser with SPF 15. So it does 3 things and all organically!
The big discovery on the gut is how much it affects our mental health and behaviour and is often referred to as “the second brain”. It’s quite hard to get ones’ “brain” round that concept isn’t it? And having too many of the “bad guys” in your gut, can make you overweight! Ok, I bet that’s got your attention? There’s …
Recent research has shown that the gut is crucial to good health. And it’s importance to every aspect of health, from the immune system to our mental health, has been hugely underestimated. The gut is teeming with bacteria and all sorts of microbes, some good, some bad. It is vital to get the balance right. Not enough of the good …
Good Housekeeping interviewed me recently but rather mystifyingly, used a photo from about 15 years ago! I should just be quiet about it and pretend I haven’t aged at all, shouldn’t I?
I used to love juicing but had a nasty habit of breaking blenders. I would be over optimistic about what they could actually pulverise. I also had a Champion Juicer at one time, for many years the absolute best there was. It could break down anything and make ice cream which was great, but my goodness it was such a …
Mindfulness is the catch phrase of the moment. But what is it exactly? Quite simply, mindfulness is another way of looking at the ancient practise of meditation. It’s a way of simplifying it and making it a part of everything you do as you go through your day. There is now indisputable scientific proof that meditation actually makes your brain …
As many of you already know, I’m a big fan of Balm Balm skin products. They are 100% organic, top quality and best of all, the most incredible value for money. When I went to visit them a few months back they gave me loads of their range to try and I’ve been doing just that. After initially falling in …
Three months ago 3 Ageless subscribers were given the opportunity to try out hair guru Philip Kingsleys’ new ground breaking product for helping hair that’s thinning, Trichotherapy. The ladies were given a 3 month supply of the product worth £200 each. So is this product as amazing as Philip Kingsley claims (his trials revealed that it helped 79% of people …
