Cold and dark mornings make life that little bit harder (this time of year I constantly question my decision to move home from Australia...Gold Coast, I miss you), but coffee and porridge (and cashmere) make it somewhat bearable. I've added some extra protein to this recipe to help minimise the blood sugar spike the typical … Continue reading Pear and ginger protein porridge – breakfast in bed
Is there anyone out there that is not actually sick? Seriously? I thought I would have avoided it, due to a combination of not doing the dog on it over the festive season, and having the flu vaccine all the way back in October. Nope, aches and pains, feeling light-headed and sniffling, with a mo'fo of … Continue reading Turmeric and vitamin C smoothie to fight off the flu
Okay so I don't know about you, but New Year's day being on a Monday means none of the "January health buzz" starts until the following Monday...which is followed by "Blue Monday", officially the worst Monday of the year...none of which make for the best start to the year. Congratulations, you have made it out … Continue reading 5 Health Hacks – that don’t include a detox
I am a big "Wow" burger fan, as my instagram followers are well aware - but as its January (and dark and horrible...when will it end?) and I'm aiming for a month of being hangover-free, I will most likely be Wow burger free also. I'm addicted to the kale and quinoa burgers from Strong Roots, but decided … Continue reading Spiced spinach and sweet potato burgers
I must admit, the whole "New Year, new me" thing really irritates me. Just like when you reach a milestone birthday...you're not really a whole lot different once the clock strikes midnight - but people tend to make a deal of it. And yet, I do find those few days between Christmas and NYE (when nobody … Continue reading New year…same old me
Bulletproof coffee has been a fad for a few years now - with its main presence of social media consisting of videos of butter being blended with coffee and coconut oil. It has been claimed to promote weight loss, improve physical performance and seriously boost energy...but do any of these claims actually stack up? The … Continue reading Butter and coffee – and mental clarity
While I do try and follow a healthy diet for the most part (weekly Wow burger habit not withstanding), and I don't believe you should be too reliant on supplements, there are a few things I find hard to get enough of solely from food - and really recommend for that added glow. And, with Black Friday … Continue reading The best supplements for glowing skin
November is a funny month. In between the "back-to-school-and-normal-life" feeling of September, and just before the festive season kicks of properly, it tends to be one of the quieter months of the year and one for saving or getting started on Christmas shopping (those of you who are so organised, I wish I could say … Continue reading Free ways to improve your skin
Anti-ageing treatments and complaints about skin, and fine lines and wrinkles tend to be primarily focused on the face, and while this can certainly give your age away (while draining your confidence), another tell tale area can be just as obvious...but tends to get forgotten very easily - your hands. The skin on your hands … Continue reading Are your hands giving you away?
Cutting back on dairy, despite the benefits my skin has experienced, has not been easy. I have always been a big chocolate fan, and custard, crème brûlee and ice cream are up there with my favourite desserts. So although I definitely still indulge in the odd milkshake or dessert, for the most part I avoid … Continue reading 5 Dairy Free Recipes
