Moderate cardiovascular exercise is great for heart health and weight loss, but when it comes to Ageless Beauty - strength training is key. It is tone and definition that makes for a great looking, strong body that burns fat more efficiently and as we get older we need to add more weights to our workout. The Shake Weight is my new favourite fitness tool, it's the high tech, low maintenance, super fast work out that will tone your arms, shoulders and chest in just 6 minutes a day.
Yuroll is the the low-tech beauty tool that I can’t live without. It is a facial massager that uses the cleansing properties of jade as it helps to drain the lymphatic system and re-define facial contours. You need to use this consistently to see results but it feels wonderfully calming so dedicate a couple of minutes at the end of your day to roll your way to gorgeous!
I have been travelling a lot recently which means DIY manicures in hotel rooms, but bottles of acetone are not easy travel companions and I have not found a decent protable alternative - until now. Deborah Lippmann's Stripper to Go is a fantastic product, the little finger mitt removes all traces of polish from all 10 fingers. No oil, no mess, no drying. Buy a box and keep individuals sachets in your handbags - I won't leave home without it!
Chantecaille is one of my favourite lines. Chinese medicine, aromatherapy and European flower pharmacology are combined to produce clean, healthy products and my new favourite lipsitink is the kind of pink that reminds me of a perfect spring pout captured in glorious technicolour. It is intense and super comfortable infused with vitamins, amino acids and SPF 6. Smudge on with finger tips for a modern kind of pretty or layer with gloss for a sexy kind of cool.
Just three little capsules a day of the Organic Pharmacy's Detox formula will help to gently but effectively detoxify the body. Your entire system will be rejuvenated resulting in better skin, more energy and better digestion and absorption. This stuff is simple, but it works - no porta loo required!
Chia seeds are super! Packed full of Omega 3, fibre and potassium these seeds will help to speed up your metabolism and slow slow down your hunger pangs. A great source of protein Chia seeds are perfect in smoothies or sprinkled on oats. I love them!
The quest for the perfect mascara never ends and as the beauty stakes rise so do the products and this months star is Bess-Lash by Edward Bess. The packaging says it all, black, chic and substantial. This mascara is best layered - it is not instant gratification but builds to the most beautiful, clog free, long volumised, gently curled lashes. I love it!
I can't lie, I don't love the way Spirulina Manna tastes but I do love the way it is making me feel. I have been taking a heaping spoon full in my aloe vera juice every morning for a month and my energy levels are through the roof, my digestion has eased and I feel wonderfully invigorated.
Lip gloss has been a game changer, now even if I am bare faced and make-up free I must have super moist lips and if I want to keep it clean I want Lush Lips from Super by Dr Nicholas Perricone, it's full of coconut goodneess and smells divine - I love it!
Emtage is a blend of Organic Botanical oils that eliminates frizz, restores elasticity and adds some serious shine. This stuff is easily absorbed and easily removed. I love it.
