Wishing you all a beautiful new year!

Firstly I’d like to wish everyone of you a successful, eventful and of course a beautiful new year. What did you all get up to? I had a fantastic evening with some wonderful friends, a good laugh is always guaranteed when with friends. You know who you all are! Looking forward to the next catch up. 

Getting back to business with great motivation and positivity is the best part of a new year. So lets get straight into it.

 I know you must all be sick of the different diets you can and can’t do! I promise I won’t talk about diets, just how to pamper yourself!!

Attempted the cookie Xmas tree,
with the help of my beautiful niece :)

Overindulged over Xmas?

Your body has its own detox system which works all year round to rid your body of harmful chemicals known as toxins. It uses the Digestive system, Urinary tract, Lungs, Skin, and your liver to help get rid of any harmful toxins quickly and efficiently.  However, doing your own detox will give a boost to your organs and help you start the year with a fresher and healthier frame of mind, not forgetting a healthier glow to your tired looking skin. 

Firstly get yourself a good body brush in the sales and get started on your body brushing regime. This will not only help remove toxins it also helps to provide your skin with vital nutrients to help relax restore and destress an overworked body.  Body brushing works on stimulating the lymph and blood system to help flush toxins out of the body. It also helps to reduce cellulite. Yes it works! Buy yourself a good body brush which has bristles that have a slightly rough feel. Brush on dry skin in an upwards motion always moving towards your heart. Follow with a luxury shower using up all those shower bits you got over Christmas. finally don't forget the all important moisturising - Again massage the moisturiser in an upward direction always working towards the heart and don't be afraid to use a little pressure to help move those stubborn fatty bits (even if you don't have any). 

· Add lemon to a glass of warm water and take every morning for a week for a quick liver detox.

· Eating two squares of dark chocolate daily is good for you! Chocolate which contains 70% or more cocoa solids contains antioxidants  which can protect you from heart disease.

· When you feel hungry before meal times, try drinking some water first, as most of the time we mistake thirst for hunger, especially on colder days.

· Drink iced water as your body will use 100 calories just to heat the water to body temperature.

· Drinking 5 cups of green tea a day will boost your metabolism as well as flush out toxins. But remember to drink water too, as not enough water will result in your toxins floating around your body looking to be flushed, which can result in headaches and nausea.

As the winter has now officially kicked in here in London, I don't know about you but my skin has had enough and refuses to like anything I use on it! I finally have managed to control my Rosacea with some products I got to sample - the fact that I'm off from work may have something to do with it, I will soon find out! I did mention to talk about skin types just before Xmas and I promise I will. I just don't want to bore you with a long post so I will sign off for now. But please remember to keep emailing me and commenting. I can mention any skin concerns in my following posts. For now sit back soak in the new year and let your body and skin detox a little so we can make a fresh start!

Enjoy the sales......
