Hip & Healthy x Liberty ‘Be Well Box’

Written by

Here at Hip & Healthy, we are ambassadors for the current revolution in health and fitness. With a passion to inspire, we encourage our tribe to be masters of balance – between being fit and fashionable, busy and in a state of savasana, disciplined and self-loving and always on a mission to being the best version of themselves.

We created the Be Well Box in collaboration with Liberty because we believe that being well is not just about looking fantastic in the latest activewear trends – but about feeling fantastic in both body and mind. The following beauty and wellbeing products are a selection of those that have helped us to feel our happiest and healthiest and we hope that they can help you to do the same! Worth over £165 but priced at only £65, here’s what you can find inside…

Legology Exfo-lite (1 x 50ml scahet)

For perfect pins, we turn to Legology’s Exfolite scrub, a high performance skin smoothing and body contouring exfoliator that makes legs supple and softer whilst discouraging cellulite and rough skin. An all natural mix of sea salt, diuretic Himalayan pink crystals and a shake of Amalfi lemon peel – this energising scrub reinvigorates tired, heavy, post-workout legs, promoting confidence and a positive sense of wellbeing.

Dityque Mini Candle Jasmin Candle

Our bath-time ritual non-negotiable – Dityque’s Mini Jasmin Candle boats a sensual and soothing scent, reproducing the captivating atmosphere of a Mediterranean garden. Soothing, calming and revitalizing, jasmin has been renowned for centuries as an aphrodisiac, with the ability to bring out feelings of love and emotional warmth whilst soothing the nerves and restoring optimism and energy when we need it most!

Davines Nou Nou Mask

Our number one product for when our hair is feeling dry and damaged, NOUNOU Nourishing Repair Mask has been formulated with a wholesome selection of intensely hydrating natural ingredients such as Olive Butter, Jojoba and Cherry Oil. Especially beneficial for those with colour treated hair, NOUNOU Nourishing Repair Mask is packed full of natural anti-oxidants and protective properties that will leave your distressed tresses looking instantly shiny, soft and restored.

REN Instant Firming Beauty Shot

Freezing weather and a few too many happy new year tipples can leave skin looking dry and lackluster. When this is the case for us, we turn to REN’s Instant Firming Beauty Shot to firm, lift and plum for a smoother, tighter and more youthful complexion. What’s more – when used regularly, this cult product encourages elastin synthesis to firm and remodel the skin over time – what’s not to love!

Bare Biology Lion Heart Omega 3 Capsules

Hands down the best quality Omega 3 fish oil on the market – containing the highest levels of EPA and DHA, no heavy metals or nasty contaminants and a great taste – Bare Biology Lion Heart Omega 3 Capsules are a daily staple of our wellbeing routine. Featuring a wide range of anti-inflammatory and beautifying properties, Bare Biology Lion Heart Omega 3 Capsules deeply nourish and restore from the inside out.

Aduna Baobab Powder

Rich in vitamin C (a single dose provides 33% of your daily requirement), Baobab supports immune functioning, energy release, skin health and digestion!

Margaret Dabbs Foot oil

We always keep a bottle of Margaret Dabbs Foot oil in our beauty cabinets for when our feet need a little extra TLC. An intensive treatment, this luxurious dry skin saviour instantly rehydrates and transforms very dehydrated, cracked and broken skin, whilst giving nails long lasting nourishment and moisture. With the uplifting scent of lemon myrtle and unique dry oil texture, its no wonder Margaret Dabbs Foot Oil has gained global cult status.

Wellness Trends for 2016

Written by

Here at Hip & Healthy we love discovering all of the latest and greatest trends in the ever-growing health scene. From mixing up your workouts to finding new ways to nourish, here’s our roundup of the next big things for wellness in 2016.

 Boxing

There’s a reason boxing has become the favourite workout of the likes of Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevigne: the workout challenges cardiovascular fitness, strength and stamina all whilst shaping a lean body – not to mention the benefits of having the opportunity to punch out all of that emotional tension. Why so effective? Boxing works the entire body, muscle-wise, but also in terms of aerobic and anaerobic (short bursts) fitness.

Beauty From The Inside Out

With so many companies now making various beautifying elixirs in the form of liquid supplements, we’re predicting that this years skin care regime is going to be all about what you’re sipping on. The nutrients and antioxidants present in certain ingredients are finally being recognised as having glow-giving, acne-eliminating and anti-ageing properties, so a few extra supplements should definitely be on the agenda for anyone looking to be rid of brittle nails, dull hair and dark circles. We love Bare Biology’s super fish oil, jam-packed full of healthy 0mega-3s, essential for brainpower, good vision and gorgeous skin. Symprove also has our seal of approval (as well as that of Calgary Avansino FYI) for their Liquid Probiotics. The supplement contains the 4 strains of bacteria essential for a healthy gut, and due to the liquid formula, unlike other products you can expect 100% of the bacteria present to arrive in your gut live and ready for healthifying action.

Transition Zone’s HiPer Zone

We predict big things this year for Transition Zone newest addition the HiPer Zone which challenges Endurance, Speed and Power classes using state of the art equipment and heart-rate technology. Push yourself to the next level using the extensive range of equipment available, including battle ropes, a squat rack and wall climbing ladder, and train like a professional athlete as you track performance during the sessions, meaning not a second will go to waste – you’ll also receive a breakdown of results via email after the class. Sessions last just 45 minutes, making them ideal to squeeze into a busy schedule. You’ll be feeling stronger, empowered and more confident in no time!

Working Out To Feel, Not Look, Good

All too often in the past exercising has been focused on dropping a dress size or creating that unattainable thigh gap. Finally people are seeing fitness for what it can truly be: an amazing form of stress relief, an antidepressant, a way to feel strong and empowered, and yes, even fun and enjoyable! Working out isn’t about getting skinny, and once you’ve let go of that and stopped beating yourself up about your appearance, there’s space to truly appreciate how amazing exercise can make both your body and brain feel.

E-Pulsive

A 20 minute full body workout that allows for 98% muscle engagement and equates to a full 6 hours slogging it at the gym, E-Pulsive is perfect for anyone who is stretched for time yet keen to see results. Electrical impulses (totally safe and not painful!!) are used to achieve controlled muscle contractions within targeted muscles without the need for any signal from your nervous system. The result? Just a few sessions a week can lead to stronger, more defined muscles, an increase in metabolism and decreases in back and joint pain.

Superherbs

So we all know about superfoods now, in fact it’s pretty impossible to avoid them! But 2016 is all about the superherbs and their stress relieving qualities. Some plants have been found to have superpowers that can help the body adapt to and handle its own specific needs, and work wonders for banishing stress and exhaustion. Superherbs can be used to improve all kind of health-related issues related to health, unlike any other food. You’ll see the herbs popping up in drinks such as juices, smoothies and superfood lattes, as well as making an appearance in beauty products and even your favourite bars of raw chocolate. We love Gingseng for its blood-sugar levelling affects, Holy Basil to fight off fatigue (its also known as an anti-ageing miracle cure in India) and Ashwagandha to ease anxiety.

Athleisure

Activewear is storming the world as the next big trend, however now it’s all about athleisure wear – activewear for real life that will happily take you from yoga to brunch to running your daily errands in perfect style. Even mega brand Levi’s have admitted that jean sales are down among women as everyone’s keen to get in on the legging-look; and who’s to blame them when we see the likes of Karlie Kloss and Jessica Alba rocking their street style workout wear. Shop the best of athleisure here.

If You Only Do One Thing This Week… Create A Life That You Love

Written by

Here at Hip & Healthy we’re all about inspiring you, our lovely tribe, to be the best versions of yourselves and in doing so, to create a life you love! Below we have revealed our top 5 tips for getting yourself one step closer to living the life you have always dreamed of. After all, you create your own reality!

Do more of what you love

Hands down the most important step in creating your dream life is by making the time to do more of what you love. Whilst we know it’s not always easy to make time for yourself whilst juggling the everyday demands of modern life, we promise that by scheduling in at least a few hours per week to focus on what you’re most passionate about will make all the difference to your levels of happiness and fulfilment. If you happen to work in a job that satisfies you on this level – all the better, however we know that this isn’t always possible which makes it even more important to set the time aside each week to indulge your passions.

Surround yourself with like-minded people

Another important factor to consider when creating your ideal life is to surround yourself with people who share your passions, lifestyle choices and values. Whilst it’s great to make friends with people from all different walks of life, when it comes down to it, the people you spend most of your time with really do rub off on you! If you haven’t already, make it your mission to connect with like-minded individuals who are positive, inspiring and striving to be the best versions of themselves. If anything, by connecting with similar people, you’ll soon establish the types of friends that will inspire you to keep moving forward and reach your goals! Plus, it’s always nice to have a go-to yoga buddy!

Practise self-love

Here at Hip & Healthy, we’re always preaching the benefits of self-love, and for good reason! Cultivating a respectful, kind and loving relationship with yourself will not only change your life in the most amazing way possible, but will open up your heart to receiving love and friendship from all of those who you encounter. One big part of self-love is allowing yourself to be who you truly are, embracing your passions and letting go of the things in your life that no longer serve you. A self-loving person would never stay at a job they hated, or remain in a relationship that caused them more pain than happiness. Self-love is simply choosing love and kindness over fear and negativity. Our next tip explains how you can do this no matter where you are in your journey to creating a life you love.

Fake it ‘til you make it

If you’ve already fallen of the New Years resolution wagon and are feeling hopeless, weak and like you’re never going to make a positive change, take a deep breath and listen up. Just because you’ve slipped up once, twice, 50 times, doesn’t mean you should quit all together. One way to shift your perspective and start to enjoy the journey to your ideal life is to fake it ‘til you make it. If you find yourself dreading your week of healthy eating, exercise or work, telling yourself that you’ll only be happy once you lose 5 kg, have a six-pack or get that promotion or bonus, instead intend to live your life like you already have acquired what it is you dream of. Ask yourself these questions: What would I eat and how would I workout if I was fitter and healthier? How productive would I be at work if I got that promotion or bonus? Start living your ideal reality like you’re already there, and things will start to shift for the better.

Embrace change and just do it

Change is never easy, and when it comes down to it there really are no quick fixes. Once you know this, putting in the hard work to make a positive change in your life becomes much easier. If lasting change is truly what you seek, you need to be realistic. Set yourself goals, but don’t beat yourself up if you’re doing everything you can and don’t reach them in the time you set out to do so by. It is all too easy to fall into the quick fix trap when this happens, but unfortunately this will always do you more harm than good and in most cases will eventually send you right back to where you started. Lasting change is established over time, in order for it to be sustainable. So embrace the journey of change, put in the hard work, keep your head held high, your mind positive and you will create the life you’ve always dreamt of. We believe in you! <3

Meet Spirit Junkie Gabrielle Bernstein

Written by

Ahead of her event in London this weekend, we caught up with self-confessed Spirit Junkie Gabrielle Bernstein to chat about all things spirituality, happiness and New Years Resolutions. Read on for the lowdown…

For those of our readers who don’t know, tell us a bit about yourself and what it is you do…

I’m a motivational speaker, self-help book author and self proclaimed Spirit Junkie. I’ve been on a spiritual journey my entire life. In 2005 I surrendered to the path of being a spiritual student and shortly after began to teach the tools I’d been applying to my own life. For the past decade I’ve committed my life to guiding people to shift their perceptions from fear to love and establish a spiritual awareness of their own understanding.

Define Spirit Junkie…

A Spirit Junkie is anyone who is committed to look inward for their happiness, peace and fulfilment.

What led you to embark on your Spirit Junkie journey?

As a child I was brought up in a very spiritual environment. My mother brought me to Ashrams, personal growth seminars and meditation retreats. My spiritual growth was greatly supported.

Then in my early twenties I turned my back on my spiritual upbringing. I chose to search for my happiness and self-worth outside of myself. I looked for it in my career credentials, my romantic relationships and my social status. In a short period of time I became addicted to the outside world. This outside search led me to crash fast. I was addicted to drugs, alcohol and the New York city party scene. At the age of twenty-five, I hit bottom.

This bottom was a turning point. I believe that when we realize that the outside search doesn’t work, we are guided to turn inward. I did just that. I turned to my spiritual roots and realigned with the tools I was taught as an adolescent. I picked up my meditation practice and I a became a student/teacher of the metaphysical text A Course in Miracles and Kundalini yoga. For the past decade I have been on a radical journey inward, unlearning fear and remembering love.

What does spirituality mean to you?

Living a spiritual life means that I consciously choose to see a world beyond my physical site. I’m open to receive creative possibilities and loving guidance from a Higher Power. My faith in this Higher Power gives me a sense of safety, security and peace.

Who or what inspires you?

I’m most inspire by people who are willing to grow spiritually.

What is your personal mantra?

Happiness is a choice I make.

What is your biggest piece of advice for prospective Spirit Junkies?

Be willing. Your slight willingness will open an invisible door that will offer you all the support, guidance and love that you long for.

With January coming to an end, what are some things we can do to make sure we follow through with our New Year’s Resolutions for the rest of the year?

Be disciplined and consistent. The reason we fall off the resolution wagon is because we’re not disciplined. You don’t have to do everything at once. Take daily small right actions towards your desire.

Is there a particular meditation or mantra we can practise to cultivate lasting change?

This exercise is very simple. Repeat the mantra Peace Begins With Me as you tap your thumb on your pointer, middle, ring and little fingers. Each word corresponds with a different finger.

Peace – Pointer

Begins – Middle

With – Ring

Me – Little

This meditation redirects your mind, reduces stress and supports your overall well-being by pressing on the different fingers which activate different meridians in your body.

Finally, what are some steps we can take to ensure that this year is our best one yet?

  1. Take lots of little actions daily. You don’t need to do it all at once.
  2. Measure your success based on how much fun you’re having.
  3. Lean towards joy and you will be led…
  4. Expect miracles

Gabby Bernstein will be speaking in London on 22nd and 23rd January and sharing how to make your resolutions stick and have the best year yet! To reserve your place go to hayhouse.co.uk/gabbylondon

MEDITATE With Madeleine Shaw’s Glow Guides

Written by

Often the most neglected part of any wellbeing regime, if you think you’re too busy or simply don’t have the time for meditation – Madeleine Shaw’s Glow Guides will make you think again. Featuring 8 meditation audios, led by Madeleine Shaw and designed to be done daily, this week we spoke to Madeleine about what we can expect from the MEDITATE component of The Glow Guides, how someone as busy as herself fits meditation into her day and her top 3 tips to stay motivated to keep it up…

 How does meditation fit into the healthy living equation?

I like to do it before breakfast – it helps calm my mind and prepare me for the day.

What areas of our lives can a regular meditation practice benefit?

Our work and personal lives, as well as the relationship with ourselves – basically everything!

Fill us in on your daily MEDITATE practice.

I like to sit still and watch my breath. I have created many great guided meditations in Glow Guides starting at 3 minutes in Week 1, building you up to 10 minutes.

What are your top 3 tips to keep us motivated to engage in a regular MEDITATE practice?

Do it straight after exercise – during stretching is a great time.

Schedule it in otherwise you won’t do it.

Realise that you will have thoughts in meditation, it’s not about being great and clearing your mind. It’s about showing up and giving it a go.

What can we expect from the MEDITATE section of Glow Guides?

The meditations are really cool, they tackle different issues like comparing yourself to others and self love. You will find a newfound peace and serenity in your life and far less mind chatter.

MEDITATE Basics By Madeleine Shaw

Written by

Meditation is the third pillar of Glow Guides and an important step to take in wellness.

Lots of people worry it’s going to be all about sitting still and “om-ing”; they’re scared they will never be able to “meditate”, but try not to worry. Much like yoga, meditation is a practice and a process; it’s about finding time in your daily routine to be peaceful. The rest will soon follow – and you’ll be glowing from head to toe in no time!

Meditation has truly helped me to de-stress. I have seen for myself that stress in cities is endemic and it is widely thought to be a contributor to many serious health concerns. I would love to be able to just brush it away under the carpet for you but sadly I can’t; it’s a fact of life that we all have to cope with, things like exam stress, work stress, relationship stress and just life stress! Daily challenges are inevitable yet I can teach you some tools to deal with them so stress doesn’t damage your life and overwhelm you.

The eight mediations in the Glow Guides app each build on the last by slightly increasing in length, week by week, as you progress through the programme. They are all short but meditation has been proven to be powerful and highly effective so they are worth doing! We will work through different subjects such as body love, gratitude, trying not to compare yourself to others, and generally how to thrive at life.

I have designed the programme with the meditations immediately after the workouts for two reasons: firstly, so you actually do them! I know that meditation often doesn’t feel like a priority, there is always somewhere to be or something to do. My thinking was that if you look at meditation as the ultimate cool down after exercising, for reboot of body and mind, then you might just do it. Secondly, you are extremely open after exercise – all that stretching in yoga and sweating in your workouts has put you in touch with your body, making it easier to detach yourself from your thoughts and become wholly present.

Meditation is a miracle worker; it helps calm the mind, relaxes the body, improves creativity and focus, reduces anxiety and enhances your relationships. What’s not to love? Let’s get meditating!

HOW TO MEDITATE

It is very simple, and you can do it anywhere (no equipment needed). All you need to do is find a comfy seated position, cross-legged, kneeling or on a chair. Close your eyes, relax your body, listen to my voice and hopefully enjoy the benefits!

Featuring meal plans and delicious recipes with easy to access ingredients – The Glow Guides are a wonderful companion for anyone seeking to get healthy, bring out their glow and enliven the hottest, healthiest and happiest version of themselves! We love!

Earlier this week we sat down with Madeleine to chat about her MOVE philosophy; what motivates her to get her sweat on and her exercise regime, today we’re super excited to share with you Madeleine’s MUNCH philosophy, her typical day on a plate and top tips for eating out! Read on for the lowdown…

What is your personal MUNCH philosophy?

Eat good whole foods; nothing processed, packaged or refined; eat good quality protein from grass fed meat, fish, quinoa and legumes; eat nourishing carbohydrates like sweet potato, brown rice and chickpeas. Fill your plate with all the colourful veggies out there and never be afraid of fats – good fats such as olive oil, coconut oil, avocado and nuts are your friends.

Enlighten us on what is a typical day on your plate?

Breakfast is usually scrambled eggs on rye bread maybe with some ago. Lunch might be some leftovers from dinner – salmon with sweet potato wedges. Dinner is something warming like a chickpea curry.

What are your top tips for eating out?

Eat clean – fish of the day, steak and salad or a nice seasonal soup. Go to French, Asian,  Italian, brasserie and pub cuisines, making Indian and Chinese a special occasion.

What is your favorite pre MOVE snack?

I love a green juice pre workout!

What can we expect from the MUNCH section of Glow Guides?

Delicious recipes that can be whipped up in a second, easy to navigate mail plans that mean you have no wasted food at the end of the week, and most importantly, a newfound love of healthy food that makes you feel like you can stick to these eating habits forever!

MOVE with Madeleine Shaw’s Glow Guides

Written by

In need of a dose of post-holiday fitspiration? To coincide with the launch of Glow Guides, we caught up with Madeleine to find out what to expect from the MOVE section of her much-anticipated app, her weekly exercise regime and her top tips for reclaiming our fitness levels after the silly season.

What is your personal MOVE philosophy?

I like doing exercise that feels good, builds my booty, makes me sweaty, but doesn’t stress me out. I love mixing it up with a bit of cardio and yoga. I love how yoga makes me feel – calmer, stronger and more flexible.

What are your top tips for reclaiming our fitness levels after the festive season?

Schedule it in. Make an appointment with yourself to exercise, don’t put it off. Do it before work and then you can relax for the rest of the day.

How do you stay motivated to MOVE?

I know how good it feels when I exercise. I have better energy, sounder sleep and I feel stronger. That is enough motivation for me!

Fill us in on your weekly exercise regime…

I follow the Glow Guides workouts alternating between the cardio blast classes led by Shona Vertue and then other days I do vinyasa flow yoga. It’s a great, healthy balance.

 What can we expect from the MOVE section of Glow Guides?

Exercise that feels fun and effortless! Plus your butt to become juicy, your middle section to become history and your stretch and agility to soar.

The Glow Guides App, Madeleine Shaw’s transformational programme, is out in January. Available in iOS and android (£49.99).
