Pack it full of your favourite ingredients such as sweet potato (high in the antioxidant beta-carotene which converts to Vitamin A), red quinoa (a gluten free protein full of vitamins and amino acids) and leafy greens such as kale (a fibre that will help keep you fuller for longer). As the seasons…

TEQUILA MAKES ME HAPPY

  We’ve all heard the song, right? Tequila . . . it makes me happy. Well if it doesn’t, it certainly should!

LISA LOVES . . . AROMATHERAPY ASSOCIATES REVIVE BODY BRUSH

I’ve long preached the benefits of body brushing, and I absolutely love this one from Aromatherapy Associates (£25, available at aromatherapyassociates.com). I find this process particularly useful in summer, when the lower half of our legs can become puffy and slightly swollen, as it helps to stimulate lymphatic drainage.   Incorporate this quick routine into your morning or evening pre-showering, using gentle, upwards…

Keratosis Pilaris – Explained

Back in the summer, I posted about a skin condition I’ve long been suffering from. I say suffering, it hasn’t been that bad, more of an annoyance that won’t go away. It started around age ten, with a few scattered bumps on my cheeks. Having always been skin obsessed, I couldn’t leave these alone. I wasn’t worried – they didn’t look like anything…
