“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” 🎄🎁🎶 ⠀

... which means ... end of year burn out, no energy and pure exhaustion! 🤣 Some days we are just too lazy and lack the innovation to concoct a wholesome drink in the kitchen. So these new @nescafesa Plant-Based Latte’s couldn’t have launched at a better time, especially as @m_m_logan is limiting her dairy intake and exploring alternatives whilst on her hormonal balancing journey. ⠀
⠀
The @nescafesa variants include Coconut Latte, Almond Latte and Oat Latte – each so delicious we are yet to decide on which one is our favourite! ⠀

⠀
Glen Rooibos tea have released three new flavours - Boost, Wellbeing & Quiet Night 🌙🦉✨⠀

💗 SKIN LOVE 💗 with @drnerinawilkinson ⠀
⠀
In this video, @nixiinoodle gets the QMS Sensitive Skin Rebalancing Treatment by @drnerinawilkinson ⠀
⠀
“Being a mom of two, with limited time to look after my skin I just needed a ‘quick fix’ that made my skin glow and feel alive! I was recommended the QMS treatment by @drnerinawilkinson - it’s like the Rolls-Royce of facials without any needles or invasive procedures. If you suffer with super sensitive skin like mine - prone to redness, dryness, pigmentation, broken blood capillaries and wrinkles, you might want to give this a try! You get the deep exfoliation, from the 7% active exfoliant (peel), which gives you that instant glow, and a moisture boost from the mask and serums applied after the peel. It’s a gentle and luxurious treatment with no down time.” ⠀
⠀
💗What the treatment includes💗⠀
⠀
1. Deep Gentle Cleanser⠀
2. Active Exfoliant 7% Peel for 10min⠀
3. Redness Relief Serum and Hydrating Boost over eyes⠀
4. Night Collagen Serum⠀
5. Algae Mask⠀
6. Re-apply both collagen and redness serums⠀
7. The Advanced Intensive Eye Care ⠀
8. Active Glow ⠀
⠀
Therapist: @bernicecrause ⠀

🌸ARE YOU A SUFFERER OF PCOS? 🌸⠀ ⠀ Well,

🌸ARE YOU A SUFFERER OF PCOS? 🌸⠀
⠀
Well, you’re not alone ladies…we were shocked to find out that a whopping 1 in 10 women have PCOS…⠀
⠀
Are any of these frustrating symptoms familiar?⠀
⠀
🌸 Irregular, missed (or absent) menstrual cycles⠀
🌸 Weight loss or weight gain (the kind that you feel you can’t control)⠀
🌸 Acne, pimples and oily skin⠀
🌸 Excess hair growth⠀
🌸 And, in later life, difficulty falling pregnant⠀
⠀
These are some of the very common “everyday” symptoms that so many women are experiencing…So when we were introduced to the Ovarian Health Supplement, Ovaria, from @lamellersa , we couldn’t wait to share the healthy solution to treating your unwanted symptoms! ⠀
⠀
🌸 Ovaria is an all-natural supplement which contains no sugar and is vegan (WITC approved)! It’s also clinically proven to improve the symptoms of PCOS, but without any nasty side effects! 🙌⠀
⠀
“The naturally-occurring ingredients in Ovaria bind to cell receptors, activating the signalling pathways that regulate thyroid hormones and, most importantly, insulin in the body. This means Ovaria helps normalise blood insulin levels, which normalises androgen and improves the symptoms of PCOS.”⠀
⠀
🌸 If you are interested in being educated on PCOS and natural treatments, then stay tuned for our IGTV LIVE – next week Tuesday 27 October. ⠀
⠀
⚡️Visit the link in our bio for more info on Ovaria and PCOS.⠀

🌺🥥 Bowls of Bali 🥥🌺 by @melissa__delpo

🌺🥥 Bowls of Bali 🥥🌺 by @melissa__delport ⠀
⠀
We are loving these delicious Bali bowls filled with exotic fruit, smoothies and most importantly LOVE! This beautiful article by our very own health coach, @melissa__delport , inspired us to take a deep breath, reset our intentions and be a little more present and kind to ourselves during this crazy Covid time! 🦠⠀
⠀
Here are a few words of wisdom from one of her very inspiring articles: Bowls of Bali and the spaces in between, practical tools to aid emotional wellbeing:⠀
⠀
“When you wake up, before you get out of bed, close your eyes and scan your body. Start at your toes and work your way to your head. Breath. Feel into your body and check in with any sensations you might be having. Are you stiff or perhaps tired? Do you feel energized and well-rested?⠀
⠀
After your body scan name three things that you are grateful for today. Is it your beating heart, a roof over your head? Perhaps it is something as simple as the ability to smile. An attitude of gratitude can go a long way. Repeat this daily as often and as much as you can! At first, it might seem difficult but don't worry - it gets easier.” ⠀
⠀
Ps. We are super excited about the second cook book 👩🏻‍🍳 launching soon!! Don’t know how it’s going to top book number one, but we can’t wait! 🙌⠀

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR BODY – POSTPARTUM 🤰🏻🏋🏽‍♂️✨ ⠀
⠀
By @ash_fitmom 💗 ⠀
⠀
"Having a baby is one of life’s greatest miracles. It is a time of overwhelming love and joy coupled with overwhelming exhaustion. I am a mom of 3 with my youngest being only 7 weeks old. So, you could say I am pretty much in the trenches at the moment!⠀
⠀
In today’s society, there is an enormous amount of pressure to “bounce back” from pregnancy, to the point that women are starting to believe that it is completely normal to leave the hospital with a flat stomach. An almost desperate need to want to look like you haven’t just spent the past 9 months growing a perfect little human. This just seems crazy to me!⠀
⠀
The reality is that pregnancy is hard. Childbirth is hard, regardless of whether you have a natural birth or a caesarean section. And once all of that is over, you are then responsible for a tiny human who demands all of your time and attention.⠀
⠀
When slowly starting to exercise again, my approach was a lot different and one of celebrating everything my body has done for me and embracing this post-partum period rather than trying to “bounce back” or look for quick fixes" ⠀
⠀

🥬🥦🍏 GUT HEALTH 🥬🥦🍏 ⠀ ⠀ Wheth

🥬🥦🍏 GUT HEALTH 🥬🥦🍏 ⠀
⠀
Whether its bloating, cramps, diarrhoea or constipation, being in tune with how your stomach (gut) is feeling is oh so important! We chat to dietician @alex_royal_dietetics and find out more about Gut Health, Fermented Foods & The Thrive 10-Day Online Detox she has recently launched ~ @thrivewellnessprograms ⠀
⠀
So what are some of the complications of an unhealthy gut?⠀
⠀
“Besides the inconvenience of feeling generally unwell, an unhealthy gut can often be caused by something worth taking note of, or vice versa, an unhealthy gut can be causing a whole ripple effect of problems. ⠀
⠀
The gut is a major part of the immune system and dips in the immune system which can be caused by anything ranging from lack of sleep, to poor diet, to stress or depression, can negatively affect the gut and its proper functioning. An unhealthy gut can then lead to autoimmune diseases, weight gain and inflammatory diseases (amongst others). ⠀
⠀
One way to get your gut health back on track is experimenting with fermented foods: ⠀
⠀
The fermentation of undigested food then encourages the growth of essential bacteria such as the Lactobaccilli and Bifidobacteria. Having a good balance of healthy bacteria in the gut prevents inflammation, tumour formation and has an effect on metabolic health and even your mood or emotional state.” Says @alex_royal_dietetics ⠀
⠀
For more info & answers on gut health and fermented foods check out the link in bio 🌿⠀
⠀
The Thrive 10-Day Online Detox, created by the gut guru, @alex_royal_dietetics and her qualified team, is designed to support our bodies natural detox system using wholefoods and delicious recipes! Detox Manuel’s, Recipe E-books, WhatsApp support from dietitians and online yoga and meditation! 🧘‍♂️ Amaaaazing!! ⠀
