I’m often asked to share what supplements I take. Now, I do love a supplement, so probably take a LOT more than you would want to. With that in mind, I’m only going to list the ones that I think are essential, especially as we go into winter when immunity is a bit lower and viruses are everywhere. Supplements can …

Anyone who reads my posts knows that I love Collagen Shots. No, not the needle version but the fabulous powder mixed with water version. Crammed full of all kinds of healthy goodness, it’s marine collagen works wonders. I watched in awe as first my nails grew faster and stronger and then how my eyelashes thickened. Next was my skin and I’ve …
Not only is my DNA out of Africa (same as us all) but I was actually born there too. This means I am not designed on any level to cope with an English winter. Funnily enough I would cope better I think, in one of those very cold countries that have lots of snow (pretty) and crisp blue skies (also …
Winter is a tough time. Well not if you live in Los Angles or Cape Town or Miami or…… well loads of places but for most of Europe and many other places round the globe, winter is a time of colds, flu, low mood, and also weight gain. Why do these things happen and is there anything we can do …
