Goodbye Bootcamp

Glynis BarberDiet & Nutrition 2 Comments

  I’m going to be honest, I only started all this so that I could fit into my favourite trousers again and so that I’d look half decent in my summer gear! Then of course, I got Fleur and Rhys involved and oh boy did they take it seriously. Before I knew what hit me, they took away all my …

After having a fabulous response to our competition to win a specialist eyebrow make over, courtesy of HD Brows, we found our winner in Sarah Walker.

Manolo Camp

Glynis BarberDiet & Nutrition 1 Comment

Boots schmoots! I feel firmly in the skinny pants, skimpy T shirt, skirt with heels camp! What bliss to have my clothes fit again. I do feel I’ve really earned it after being so disciplined and my only concern now is keeping it this way. Two weeks to go but will definitely be asking both Fleur and Rhys for a …

A Special Indulgent Offer

Glynis BarberProduct of the Month 4 Comments

Awhile back I fell in love with Neom’s gorgeous Complete Bliss Body Lotion. Nourishing, organic, with a fresh uplifting smell. I’ve now discovered some of their other products and continue to be very impressed. They do divine organic candles (did you know most candles release toxins and pollutants as they burn?). However the product I’m most excited about is their …

Bootcamp Booty

Glynis BarberDiet & Nutrition 3 Comments

  I’ve always prided myself on being very active and doing loads of exercise which, as you know and are probably sick of hearing me say, I insist is the closest thing to an anti-ageing pill. The horrible truth however, is that I may have been completely wasting my time in the gym! I may go and do weights twice …

Bootcamp Begins

Glynis BarberDiet & Nutrition 2 Comments

I may not be in some retreat somewhere with a hard bed and no pillow, or hiking up the mountains at 6am every morning, or being forced to eat stale bread where each mouthful has to be chewed a hundred times, but…….I definitely feel like I’m in bootcamp! And to think I’ve done this to myself! And because I’ve announced …

Yup I know…..I go on about yoga and exercise, did a whole series of articles on “The diet that changed my life”, am such a goody two shoes blah blah blah….so how come the top part of my legs are going south and suddenly I’m a little, well, podgier?

How Safe are Supplements?

Glynis BarberSupplements 6 Comments

There are two types of people. Those who like supplements, who feel that they optimise health and promote well being and those who feel they’re a waste of time and too much of a hassle to take anyway. There’s no denying that they’re expensive. Well, very expensive in my case because I take so many. As do my whole family. …

Meditation is Easy – Part 2

Glynis BarberStress Management 10 Comments

Back by popular demand, some more meditation advice from Michael Brandon. Meditation remains one of the most potent tools against the ever growing tide of stress that threatens to overwhelm us (me included) and undermine our health and wellbeing. To my mind, deep breathing and meditation coupled with some sort of exercise are the very best tools you can use …

Loose Women – April 2014

Glynis BarberPress 2 Comments

 It was as much of a surprise to me as anyone else to find myself as a panellist on Loose Women a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been on as a guest a number of times so it was interesting to be on the other side for a change. I was very fortunate to be on with such a warm, …
