Get a floral fix
Tulips are apparently the new ingredient to be looking out for in your skincare products! Packed with Auxin, a plant hormone derived from amino acids that elongate the cells and promote collagen, tulips boast some impressive benefits that include hydration, cell regeneration and anti-ageing properties. Bloomeffects Tulip Dew Cream is top of our hit list!
THE MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER WITH...
If you’re wondering if the Apple AirPods Max are worth the hype, we’re here to tell you that they absolutely are! The high-fidelity noise cancelling feature is a total game-changer for blocking out the outside world when necessary. If you’re prone to getting overwhelmed when flying, this is the way to completely zone out, put on soothing music or your favourite podcast and let the sound encompass you. If you’re into sound bathing, play a singing bowls sequence on YouTube to be transported into an immersive healing therapy. The cinematic spatial audio is unparalleled, creating a sound healing bubble in the comfort of your own home.
Black is not the new white
Many influences promote activated charcoal toothpaste but are they actually good for your teeth? The answer is no, charcoal actually has little scientific evidence to suggest it’s beneficial and actually has minimal protection against tooth decay and if used regularly could damage enamel. The whitening properties it does have aren’t in contact with the teeth long enough to have any sort of effect, so all in all, to debunk the charcoal myth, they’re not all that great and definitely aren’t worth the hefty price tag.
Check your trainers
One of the most common mistakes I see people doing in the gym is wearing the wrong trainers when strength training. While great for cardio days, trainers with lots of cushioning may be hindering your form. A flat, wider base is needed to provide stability and enables correct activation of the targeted lower body muscle groups.
The new sound therapy
You’ve heard of acupuncture but have you heard of sonopuncture? Imagine sound healing and acupuncture had a baby, sonopuncture would be the outcome. The sound-waves act as the needles to generate a beam of inaudible ultra-sound by physically touching the skin. After some time trying to hunt a practitioner who offers sonopuncture, I finally came across Bella at The Other House in South Kensington. Fusing sound healing, vibrational therapy and reiki, the experience will transport you to another realm.
Spray it
Oral spray supplements are having a moment and for good reason too! Not only are sprays more convenient to ingest but they’re also more efficiently absorbed by the body in some cases up to 2.6 times more effective than capsules. The vitamins and minerals are delivered directly to the bloodstream because the body will not have to break down these liquid extracts. BetterYou are the go-to brand for oral sprays, with a wide range of vitamins to choose from.
Having an avo-a-day?
Don’t get me wrong, I love avocado but recent studies show an alarming environmental impact due to its vast popularity. Avos has been dominating brunch menus for many years now and for good reason, they’re nutritiously dense and contain high levels of fat-soluble vitamins not found in other fruits. On the flip side, it takes a hefty 320 litres of water to produce a single avocado not to forget the carbon footprint of the transportation too. We’re not saying to completely cut them out, but maybe consider how many avocados you’re consuming!
Beat the Sunday Scaries
It’s estimated that two-thirds of Brits suffer from work-related stresses, lack of sleep and looming to-do lists as the primary causes of anxiety before the start of the working week. The relatable dreaded feeling has been dubbed the ‘Sunday Scaries’. If you find yourself on this trajectory, thankful, there are a few tips to mitigate, for example, allocate an hour to prep for the week, incorporate sleep rituals and avoid alcohol like the plague!
