Warning Winter Soup

A very Happy Friday to you all,

How is the healthy New Year kick start going?

I am pleased to say I am still keeping up with all the little tips we talked about a few weeks ago. If you missed these take a look here.

I have also been making some healthy and nutritious soups to help keep me on track

Today I have one to share with you that I have made a few times over the last few weeks.

Here is what you need to get started:

1 butternut squash

2 sweet potatoes

4 carrots

1 red pepper

And this is what you do:

• Peel and chop all veg
• Roast in the oven at 200 degrees until soft
• Allow to cool slightly and then blend the ingredients
• Add pepper, ginger and chilli to taste
• You may need to add some vegetable stock so the soup is to your liking
• You can eat this straight away or store in an air tight container in the fridge or freeze in in soup bags until needed.
• Serve with a teaspoon of crème fraiche and a wholemeal pitta bread.

So why is the good for you?

This soup is full of Beta carotene which is an antioxidant found in fruit and veg that helps to even out the skin tone and improve the skin texture plus protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun.

Seems a good enough reason to get cooking to me and on top of all this it really does taste fabulous.

Have a fun weekend and get cooking!

It's not too late to kick start the New Year!

Hello All,

At last the weekend is nearly here!

Did you have a happy and healthy January? If you are anything like me you started the New Year full of the best intentions. As January set in those intentions kept being put to the bottom of my list. 

However it is not too late for us to face February with vigour and kick start the New Year all over again!

Are you still feel sluggish? 

Is your skin looking tired and dull?

I am here to give you a few little tips to help us all get started on that much needed 'Kick Start'

• Replace your morning cup of tea or coffee with hot water and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Plus try to drink 8 glasses of water through out the day. Both of these will help you keep hydrated and flush away any toxins in your body.
• Try to eat a rainbow a day-not literally! But a good way to optimise you diet is to go for colour, lots of colour! Eat brightly coloured fruit and veg to gain more nutrients.
• Try to exercise at least twice a week. I know it is hard! But start with climbing those stairs and avoid the lift!

These tips will help you feel good inside and out!

As we all know sometimes we may need that little bit of extra help and I can recommend giving your skin a real New Year boost.

How??

Try our Decadence Skin products-especially the moisturiser and serum that are designed to brighten and even out skin tone.

We may be a little late in getting healthy this Year but lets start it together by following these tips and looking after our skin.

Remember we all need time to ourselves, we all need some:
