Skin Tips
Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate!
Get the most out of your skincare. Make sure you exfoliate regularly to get the best levels of absorption from your skin oils and moisturisers - if it has to fight through layers of dull, dead skin cells to get to your body it will be exhausted by the time it arrives and won't do the best job, wasted product and wasted effort...
Holland and Barrett offers
Holland and Barrett are doing their buy one, get one half price thing and whilst I don't really take vitamins, I'm loving their flaxseed and pumpkin seed products with Goji berries and sunflower seeds mixed in - there's even one mixed with cocoa for the chocolate lovers. So sprinkle some on your porridge in the morning nand stay full til lunch time - in a healthy way....

DAY 9 2012 DETOX

Ok, we're into week 2...well done everyone!

Yesterday was a long day as I was in Wales for meetings and then back to clients until 7pm. BUT in a panic as to what to have for supper I read the recipe in the paper and it was perfect for detox (with a few tweeks)

REMEMBER from today you can introduce tomatoes, oranges, avocados, mushrooms bananas and lentils.

So, breakfast was porridge - which they now serve in my coffee shop - which meant my morning ritual has been made even more pleasant - decaff Soy Latte and Soy porridge - most people I mention this too say it sounds disgusting but actually I love it - and if I'm being slightly illegal I will now take a pot of nuts in my handbag and add those whilst no one is watching.

As I was on the road I took loads of fruit and rice cakes to snack on to avoid getting the munchies whilst filling up for petrol.

Supper was the recipe....harissa vegetables with feta and pine nuts...the actual recipe was for harissa chicken and vegetable with feta and pine nuts so I just omitted the chicken and boosted the veg - but I will definately try with chicken thighs in late Feb as it was delicious.

So, you mix 2 tablespoons of harissa paste with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, roughly chop any veg you like the sound of, I did lots of red onions and red peppers and mix it all together in a roasting dish and put in the oven for approx 30 minutes. Turn them occasionally whils cooking.

10 minutes before the end, I put in the feta cheese chopped into chunks and also the toasted pine nuts.

When ready I served on a bed of brown rice but I honestly don't think it needed the rice (I needed the rice to keep my daily portion) it was very filling and extremely tasty.

Took a bath in DETOX Bath and Body Oil and it was so relaxing I wrapped myself up, watched Masterchef followed by Never Mind The Buzzcocks and off to bed.
