How using face masks can eliminate blackheads

I’m sure most of us have used a blackhead mask in the past especially as a teenager. But even if you’re well past your teen years (ummmm I’m raising my hand here), I know that blackheads can still rear their ugly heads. As a health and menopause coach, I chat with plenty of people who are experiencing acne well into their 30s, 40s, and beyond. And menopause is no certainty that you’ll escape the menace of blackheads or acne, I help lots of women that are going through menopause and having problems with breakouts as if they were a teen! What are Blackheads Blackheads are essentially clogged

How to beat Brain Fog

We all know that feeling of mental fog – not being able to make sense of our thoughts, string a cohesive sentence together or just generally feeling a bit foggy. It can be caused by a number of different factors but one of the first things to check is how hydrated you are. Dehydration is a major cause of mental fog and if this is what’s affecting you it can be easily remedied. Our brain is literally made up of water (approx. 75% of the brain is water) and it needs fluids in order to function properly.

Ceremonial Cacao - what you need to know

When I first discovered ceremonial cacao I was at a loss as to understand the difference between it and the organic powdered cacao I had in the kitchen pantry. A lot of research, a not insignificant amount of tasting!, a lot of soul searching, and an immense amount of reading up on the history, tribes and regions where cacao grows, led me to many revelations. Let me share a few. What is Cacao? Cacao is chocolate in its rawest, purest form. A ceremonial drink, unsweetened and unprocessed, she is always referred to in the feminine. She is a superfood with all of her original vitamins and

Beauty Basics - How to create a winter glow

As winter sets in our skin comes under more and more stress, cold weather, harsh chemicals, daily pollution and air conditioning or central heating, all play their part in how we look and the ageing process. So how can we help and what are the latest skincare innovations you need to keep abreast of? Never A Dull Moment Restoring a youthful glow is everyone’s priority but there’s no point soaking clogged pores or flaky skin in expensive serums, oils or creams, as they simply won’t be able to penetrate through the debris.

Are you building your dream or someone else's?

You’re either working to build your own dream, or you’re being paid by someone else to build their dream. I don’t remember who originally pointed this out to me, but it really struck a chord with me. At the time I was building my own Interiors and Garden Design business and I thought I was sorted. I’d left the confines of the corporate world and was building my own dream. But I was also lonely. Working for myself and all by myself. Yes I had a team of freelancers I could call on to support me in implementing a project, decorating, building, joinery work etc but at the end of the day I was

Skincare secrets for the under 30s

I know, I know, it’s a boring statement your mother makes but it’s also a fact: Caring for your skin consistently, at a young age, is easier and less expensive than trying to fix or minimise the signs of ageing once they appear on your face later on. But where should you start? Starting as early as possible, everyone needs to know their skincare facts. That means establishing a consistent skincare routine and eating a less processed, more nutrient rich diet to help achieve healthy looking skin and a long lasting youthful appearance. Skincare at this stage might also need to focus on combatting

Arbonne have just launched their new Rescue & Renew range to reinvigorate and help detox your skin and your mind. Having just returned from Las Vegas and Arbonne’s Global Training conference I really see the power of detoxification. My skin is in a mess. My legs and arms are really dry from sun exposure, chemicals in the swimming pool and generally over doing it! You know what I say - put rubbish in and you get rubbish out. All that chlorinated water, burning the candle at both ends, a long haul flight and too many cocktails are showing up now that I’m home! You may feel that this is your skin
