Make time for exercise. I start my day with a 25 minute yoga workout followed by 5 minutes of meditation. If you don‘t have time to exercise at home try to walk for at least 20-30 minutes. Daily exercise will help you to maintain strength, flexibility, and burn a few calories. The extra fresh air for your lungs is an added plus;-).
To combat the aging process it is extremely important to enjoy deep and restful sleep. While it might sound easier than it is, do your best to make your sleep environment as distraction free as possible. Deep, invigorating sleep has a positive effect on your energy levels, mood, and general wellbeing. You can use scented candles and cosy bed lines to create a better sleep environment.

Instead of drinking a second cup of coffee, drink a big glass of water or tea instead. Everyone knows that water is good for us, so why not take advantage? Water helps your skin to look more radiant, helps the digestion process, and is an essential for our internal organs.
What’s not to love about Dr Karg’s organic Emmental Cheese and Pumpkin Seed crispbread? Let’s start with the rich wholegrain cereal base. Then, imagine the melting tang of savoury Emmental cheese combined with nutty pumpkin seeds on a crunchy and tasty base. But there is more to crispbreads than simply crunch and taste.
With a base of wholegrain wheatflour, Dr Karg’s organic crispbreads provide a rich combination of proteins, minerals, vitamins and the “good fats”, the Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids naturally occurring in this precious mix of seeds. The combination of sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and linseeds with wholegrain cereal, provides a source of potassium, phosphorous, zinc and iron.
Yummy!!!!! The Wellicious Team loves them!
Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like slopping around in trackie Bs and a hoodie when the diary’s empty and the weather’s grey. That said, hubby isn’t all that enamoured by my TBs and whilst I don’t exactly blame him, as a self confessed workaholic (at least four nights a week, my working day doesn’t end before 11pm) comfort is of paramount importance.
Denim is my day to day staple of choice when something smarter isn’t required (and even then I’d rather a tux / leather jacket and great shoes) but when I’m home, going nowhere and working weekends (the joys of running your own business!), I love my loungewear.
And when well being brand Wellicious entered the market earlier this year, I knew I’d made the right decision. My black roll top yoga (aka sit in front of laptop) pants have been worn to death.
As someone who feels the cold terribly (I get it from my mother – she sleeps with a hot water bottle and three extra blankets and that’s just in the summer months) I was grinning from ear to ear when Wellicious’ new Cashmere news po pped into my inbox.
A cashmere poncho, cashmere legwarmers, cashmere pants and the most darling cashmere cardigan with bow (pictured) that all come in Satin Pink and London Grey.
The range is so stylish I can even venture outdoors in it. If I can prise myself away from my laptop that is…
The Sharpham Park Shop in Shepton Mallet, Somerset is a must if you are in the area. The shop brings together the very best organic and seasonal food and beauty products from a 50 miles radius. There is also a butcher, bakery and cheese counter in the shop. After your shopping you can either enjoy delicious foods sourced from the shops Jardines at the Harlequin Cafe or unwind in the Wellness rooms choosing from their range of organic and complementary treatments like reflexology or beauty acupuncture. There is even a Mulberry outlet just around the corner!
We just loved it!
