Currently priced at £21.95, you really cannot go wrong with the face mask compared to other masks on the market.

The InstaNatural Dead Sea Mud Face Mask is made from 100% pure dead sea mud. Let me be honest with you, at first, I didn’t have any idea what dead sea mud was. I just thought it was something fancy that was adding to face masks for marketing purposes. It was only when I read into the benefits of dead sea mud, and felt it working on my skin, that I knew how great it was and how I needed to use it on a regular basis. Now, dead sea mud, is a blend of salts and minerals – in particular magnesium, potassium and calcium, and it known for it’s healing benefits. It can provide relaxation to the muscles, reduction of pores and wrinkles, and is especially beneficial for those who suffer from dry skin. Although, it can be used on all skin types.

How To Drink More Water

How to drink more water

With the New Year drawing close, and many of us already making our New Years plans to go out and get the festivities started, we’re all sure to need a detox to give us the best start to the year. I for one, am planning on being utterly boring this year – though it is a preference to me, by having a quiet New Years on the sofa binge watching my favourite TV Shows on Netflix. The one thing I have endlessly wanted to do is find ideas, and tips, as to how to drink more water.

We all know that we need to get our recommended daily allowance of water drunk each day to maintain a healthy lifestyle – which is about 2 liters a day. As our body weight is made up of about 60% water, it’s essential to get that recommended amount into our bodies to flush away the toxins. And at zero calories, learning how to drink more water can be somewhat life changing for those looking to not only detox, but also lose weight and change up your lifestyle.  View Post

TLOV | 2015 Reflection

2015 reflection

2015 has been such a busy year for me; it just feels as thought it has flown by and I’ve wanted nothing more than a much needed “pause” button on life. It literally feels like it was the start of 2015 only a few months back now. Doesn’t that sound a bit cliché? But most of the time that is true to form for a lot of us. As we are drawing to the end of another amazing, fun-filled yet emotional year that was a huge learning curve for me, it’s important to take the time to have a 2015 reflection.

This is ever more important as so many people are quick to jump onto the new years resolutions bandwagon. For me, personally, you shouldn’t make resolutions just because it’s a new year, if you want to start something start it now. You don’t need to wait until the start of the week, month, or year to commit to something.

I’m going off on a tangent here, because that’s really not the point I wanted to get across in this post. 2015 has been a sort of “build-up” year for me.  A pre-warning though, I’m going to get personal with you all.

Review| Bannatyne Spa in Fairfield

Bannatyne Spa Entrance

Relaxation is something that is so important; we need to have at least one day a week to ourselves to relax in some sort of way. Whether that be by having a pamper session, having some time to ourselves to go to a yoga or pilates class, or just booking ourselves in for a Spa Day.

After I finished my exams, I was treated to a day booked at the Bannatyne Spa in Fairfield by my fiancé. He really must have known that I needed nothing more than a day  to ourselves where we could be looked after and pampered, whilst enjoying massages and facials. Albeit it wasn’t really his sort of thing, but being the dutiful fiancé he is, he agreed to come along with me for the day.

It was about an hour drive from where we lived, but it didn’t really take that long for us to get to as all the roads were clear. The drive itself was a great set up to the day ahead and we needed to drive through the countryside to get to the spa. Perfectly located in a secluded and hidden leafy location, the Bannatyne Spa in Fairfield set the ambience from the get go as alleviating. With plenty of customer parking space, in a private car park, there wasn’t any trouble getting to the location.  View Post
