We talk Dermapen (microneedling) with @monalisaskinbodybar ✨👵🏻💉

We’re heading into the cooler months, which is the perfect time to get in those treatments that need a little downtime 👹 because firstly you can hibernate and secondly there’s less sun ☀️

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a procedure that uses a bunch of tiny needles to puncture the very first layer of skin. This process works to rejuvenate your skin by boosting collagen production, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and elevates the overall texture of your skin.

What are the Benefits of Microneedling?

✨ Enhances texture of skin
✨ Stimulates collagen production
✨ Can help reduce scars and hyperpigmentation
✨ Can reduce the appearance of wrinkles

If this is for you - check out this awesome deal from @monalisaskinbodybar

Our fitness journey with @myutopia_sa 🧘🏻‍♀️🌿✨ ⠀
⠀
We are both at different stages in our lives, @m_m_logan is on a fitness journey that focuses on high intensity, butt burning, ab sculpting, ...”I’m so stiff, I can’t walk” kinda exercises...that are not for the faint hearted 😅
⠀
Whereas @nixiinoodle is finding her inner zen and focusing on strengthening the mind, body and soul - repairing postpartum injuries that need a far gentler approach 🧘🏼‍♀️ What’s rad about @myutopia_sa is that you have every form of training at your disposal - @nixiinoodle has been healing her pinched nerve with regular pilates classes or when she needs a little time out from the kids (that’s often) - a gentle yin yoga class does the trick! When @m_m_logan wants her fix of high intensity training when she pops down for a visit - there are just so many options to choose from - HIIT, Methodology X, BoxFit and Dance! ⠀
⠀
So, no matter where you are in your fitness and health journey, there is one place that ticks all the boxes ✔️ @myutopia_sa ⠀

RECONNECTING WITH YOUR BODY – POSTPARTUM 👩🏻‍🍼✨💪⠀
⠀
By @ash_fitmom ⠀
⠀
We know we’ve shared this article before, but for those who haven’t read it, we urge you to take a look, especially for those postpartum moms, who need a little love, support and reassurance that it’s totally normal to not feel normal! 🥴⠀
⠀
“Being a mom has totally changed my perspective on things - not only about my body, but life in general. I don’t sweat the small things as much and what grated my carrot before seems trivial and pathetic now. The pressure to ‘bounce back’ and lose the weight is undoubtedly still a thing. So when I read this article by the legendary @ash_fitmom (superhero mom of three and personal trainer), it gave me peace of mind knowing that I didn’t have to be back in lycra strutting my stuff on the prom a few days or even months after I’d just given birth! @nixiinoodle 💕⠀
⠀
Here’s a little snippet of the full article... ⠀
⠀
“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.⠀
⠀
My approach is 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" ⠀

Wellness Wednesday with @wellnesswarehouse ⠀ ⠀

Wellness Wednesday with @wellnesswarehouse ⠀
⠀
Pea, Zucchini & Feta Fritters 🌱 these are perfect for mamas who are struggling to get their little ones to eat more greens! 🥦🫑🥬🥒 This winner recipe was created by our mama bear @nixiinoodle - it’s quick and easy to prep and delicious for the entire fam! Also works well with spinach and broccoli 🙌 ⠀
⠀
Recipe:⠀
⠀
* 2 large zucchini’s (or 4/5 small ones)⠀
* 150g frozen peas⠀
* 100g feta cheese⠀
* 2 medium eggs⠀
* 50ml milk ⠀
* 100g self raising flour ⠀
* Black pepper ⠀
* Tbs of gluten free vegetable stock from @wellnesswarehouse ⠀
* Optional to serve: plain yoghurt with a squeeze of lemon, a splash of apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper and topped with avo) ⠀
⠀
Method: ⠀
⠀
* Grate the zucchini’s using a cheese grater into a large bowl.⠀
* Pop the frozen peas into a separate small bowl, cover with water and cook them in the microwave for 2.5 minutes. Drain the peas and then add them to the grated zucchini’s ⠀
* Chop the feta cheese into small chunks and then add to the zucchini and peas along with a good sprinkle of black pepper and the vegetable stock ⠀
* In the small bowl you have aside, crack the eggs and add the milk to the eggs. Give everything a good whisk to combine and then pour into the large bowl - give all the ingredients a good stir.⠀
* Finally, add the self raising flour to the fritter mix. Mix everything really well to ensure the flour is totally combined into the mixture.⠀
* Now pop a frying pan over a medium heat and add a small amount (1 tsp) or cooking oil or butter. For each fritter, drop one heaped tablespoon of mixture into the frying pan. Then gently squish the mixture with a cooking spatula to flattened it out slightly.⠀
* Cook each fritter for approx 5 minutes on each side until golden and slightly puffed up ⠀
⠀
Enjoy!! ⠀

“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! ⠀
