range of organic grains

A grain of truth Create new variety in your cooking regime by introducing life-giving grains. Winter is an especially good time to cook up pots of these highly nutritious staples. Not only are they warming and fulfilling but they are your body’s best source of energy. As a key fuel they provide your body, brain and nervous system with a constant supply of energy. Try our challenge of introducing a new grain each week and see how exciting, not to mention healthy you can make your kitchen routine.

TRY THIS: SUPER GREEN PEA SOUP Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 2 large chopped onions; ½ tsp salt; 2 cups dried split peas; 5 cups water; juice of 1/2 lemon (keep the zest); pinch of paprika or cayenne Medium heat olive oil in a big pot, add onions and salt and cook until soft. Add peas and water. Once it boils, turn down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Blend half the soup until pureed then add it back to the pot. Squeeze in the lemon. Add more salt if necessary. Serve drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with lemon zest and a pinch of smoked paprika.

Split pea cooking ideas: Cook peas and blend into a hummus type spread, cook it into a soup, use it to make filling veggie burger patties, squish peas into a mash with a bit of coconut milk, the possibilities are endless.

WELLNESS ORGANIC GRAINS RANGE: Wellness Warehouse own brand range of grains are sourced from the best suppliers possible and are all certified organic.

publisher's letter

There is nothing like the feeling of endorphins rushing through your body, the thrill of feeling your muscles work, pitting your strength against the elements. We have incredible bodies with muscles, ligaments and bones that are meant to be used. Exercise is one of the most underrated high’s that is natural and life-giving. As irony has it, as we celebrate our MOVEMENT issue, I'm recovering from a kitesurfing injury, which has meant I have been in a leg cast for 9 weeks. We appreciate things even more when they are out of reach and right now I would do anything to be able to do some exercise. It does however make me determined never to forgo the opportunities I have to exercise and move my body.

spikes in blood sugar levels and also have high levels of nutrition. There are also many healthy sweet treats that can satisfy your taste buds without causing weight gain or cravings for more. Alternatives like Stevia and Xylitol are so easy to use in place of sugar. Honey has loads of curative properties and Molasses and Maple syrup are filled with nutritional benefits.

PICK ME UP & DROP ME DOWN

"Choose a sweetener that doesn’t cause blood sugar spikes. "

Sweet Balance

Although eating something sugary sweet will provide an instant energy boost and seems like a solution, it effects a sudden rise in blood sugar followed by a drop in insulin (necessary to carry blood glucose to the cells that utilise energy). This means it creates a superficial boost as the perk up is brief and followed by a slump in energy and often a craving for more sugar. Kids often get hyperactive on too much sugar. After the energy rise it can create drowsiness and in severe cases like diabetes it creates a black out or coma. Choose a sweetener that doesn’t cause blood sugar spikes.

Discover sweet options you many never have considered before, find out which sweeteners have nutritional benefits and see how easy it is to substitute bad sugar for good.

L did you know?

Data from international studies show that the number of people with diabetes worldwide in 2011 has reached 366 million. More and more people are finding it hard to metabolise sugar. Diabetes has become a leading cause of death and of heart disease, strokes, kidney disease and blindness.

ove of sugar is almost universal among humans. You might be a sweet tooth junkie and crave a daily dose of chocolate or ice cream or dose your tea with spoonfuls of sugar while others might enjoy the occasional treat or get enough sweet satisfaction from a ripened fruit.

For some, the taste that acts quickly on the taste buds and saliva, is beneficial to the body whereas for others, when consumed in excess creates weight gain and stagnation or congestion in the body. everything you need to live life well

People with weak digestion or not enough insulin production will experience negative effects when consuming too much sugar.

The good news is that there are a host of alternatives to sugar that don’t create

Organic, Grade A maple syrup has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and helps with digestion. It has a high manganese content that helps with muscle recovery. Essential nutrients like zinc, iron, calcium and potassium help support reproductive health and protects the body against colds and flu. Apart from drizzling it on your flap jacks and pancakes you can add it to yogurt, oats, fruit salad or combine it with pureed apples for a delicious sauce.

It works beautifully in salad dressings, in fish or chicken dishes.

MASSES OF MOLASSES Molasses is packed with goodness and is a great product to make a habit of using. A tablespoon of molasses contains about 20% of your recommended intake for iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. What’s more, a tablespoon means only 45 calories. It also has plenty of vitamin B6. Because of its distinct taste it doesn’t usually work as an alternative to sugar but is excellent to use in baking and for sauces or marinades. Molasses is the by-product left after refining cane sugar. It is the reason white refined sugar is unhealthy - molasses is the goodness that is left over. Molasses can be used in baking especially cookies, is great in meat sauces and is often used in baked beans.

Use unsulphered molasses and either sweet molasses or Blackstrap molasses.

Blackstrap molasses is the by product of the third boiling of sugar cane and is the most concentrated form.

NO SUGAR CHOCOLATE Ingredients: 1/2 cup raw cacao powder (+ 1 tbsp cacao powder); 4 tbsp unrefined coconut oil (melted); 20 stevia drops; 3 tabsp non-dairy milk; extras of your choice e.g. dessicated coconut, shaven dried apricots, goji berries, broken cashews. If you are adventurous, try adding spices or a bit of chilli.

Combine coconut oil with stevia drops. Stir, then add raw cacao powder and non-dairy milk.

Stir well. Keep stirring until it thickens. This might take some time. Pour into a suitable flat container or pour onto wax paper or tiny cup cake holders or sweet moulds. Leave to set in the fridge or freezer.

DREAMING OF

ICE-CREAM

Clever combinations and use of spices can turn food that is difficult to digest into a much more easily digested version. Ice cream is a prime culprit often triggering lactose intolerance and creating gas and bloatedness. Dairy can be hard to digest, when it is frozen and pasteurised, it becomes even more difficult. These negative effects can be balanced by making ice-cream with cardamom, adding ginger and using carrot juice to replace part of the milk or cream. This produces a delicious desert with less mucus forming ability than standard ice cream. Just as water and fire are opposites so the sweet taste and pungent taste neutralize each other. If you are using a lot of sweet, try balancing it with pungent herbs or spices to help the body assimilate it better.

Honestly delicious

Energy giving, satiating and more-ish, there is nothing like the sweet taste to satisfy your fancy. And sweet must have a place in your life. After all it is one of the five tastes of life and if life must be in balance, sweet must be present. Have you ever noticed after eating a meal filled with variety and tastes you often feel like something sweet afterwards? That’s because we feel totally satiated when we have eaten a portion of every taste: bitter, sour, salty, pungent, astringent and sweet. Make the sweet part of your life healthy and nutritious by including sweeteners that are beneficial to your health.

Health boost with molasses Molasses are the by-product of the sugar refining process and are extremely nutritious. They contain B Vitamins, Copper, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Pantothenic Acid, Inositol and Vitamin E. Health advisors recommend having a tablespoon of molasses daily as a health booster.

It is said to be an alkali-forming food beneficial for maintaining a proper acid-alkali balance in the body. Molasses have a very strong taste and are best used in combination with other ingredients. Add a tablespoon of molassses to baked goods, include a drizzle on cereals, hot milk or use as a source of nutrition. Try a tablespoon dissolved in warm water with a squeeze of lemon juice as an early morning gift to your body.

DO THE MATHS

KEEP MOVING

Keep your weight balanced. If you load anything with too much weight – a trolley, a bakkie, a cart, the axel and wheels are bound to buckle. It’s exactly the same with you. If you are overweight you are putting too much strain on your joints. Most overweight people struggle with their knees and backs. Remember this: for every kilo that you are overweight you are adding four times more stress on your knees.

Go for low impact movement like swimming and cycling rather than exercise that jolts your joints too much. Don’t sit still for too long – long couch sessions or desk and chair situations are bad for joints. Change your sitting position often, walk around whenever you can – pace out your phone calls and stretch frequently. Prepare for exercise properly by warming up the muscles with a brisk walk or cycle, then stretching your muscles. Spend additional time warming up parts of your body that have been previously injured. Avoid overuse. If you get sore joints or muscles, don’t persevere. Stop and rest. Allow for recovery time after exercise.

5 SMART

MOVES FOR HAPPY JOINTS Most people, as they get older, feel a change in the way their body moves.

did you know?

Almost every movement made by the body is initiated in the core – think of the abdomen, hips and lower back and how running, weights, swimming, lunges, twists all use core stability and strength.

etting out of bed in the morning just seems more difficult, there might be a bit of a groan sitting down and getting up, many complain of feeling creaky.

When and if this happens all depends on how much attention you have paid to your joints. Looking after your joints, muscles and ligaments is a highly worthy pursuit that will keep you in top form for years to come. This is especially important if you are an athlete or train regularly or if you know you are prone to arthritis or osteoporosis. A joint is where two bones connect. This joint allows you to bend your knees, move your

hips, arch your back, turn your head and wiggle your fingers. Smooth tissue called cartilage and synovium and a lubricant called synovial fluid cushion the joints so bones aren’t in friction with each other. Age, injuries, too much weight, bad posture, wear and tear can damage the cartilage and lead to degeneration or arthritis. Here’s how to keep your joints healthy.

5 smart moves

for happy joints>

Use deep focused breathing to remind you to stand up straight and develop a good posture. This will protect your joints from your neck down to your ankles, lessening the strain on your hip joints and your back.

It also makes you feel much better. Check the way you lift things, don’t be lopsided and remember to lift with your knees. Keep bags and backpacks evenly weighted i.e. use straps over both shoulders not just one.

BUILD MUSCLE

Strong muscles support your joints but without adequate muscle strength more pressure is felt on the joints. Build muscle and keep surrounding ligaments well used with weight training exercises. Schedule a session with a training instructor so you don’t end up straining the muscles you want to strengthen. Do what’s good for you; some exercises may not be appropriate for your body type. If you feel pain, stop.

EAT NOURISHING FOODS Follow a nutritious diet with calcium-rich foods to maintain bone density. Strong bones keep you balanced and steady and guard against injuries and joint damage.

Milk, molasses, yogurt, broccoli and figs are good choices or take a calcium supplement. Vitamin D is also important.

Vitamin C and antioxidants are known to reduce the risk of osteoarthritis. Salmon is another good food choice with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids that reduce joint pain and arthritic swelling. If you suspect you aren’t getting enough Omega-3’s take a supplement.

MOVING TO WHOLENESS

By Glenn-Douglas Haig Wellness Warehouse Life Coach I’m in the mountains above Stellenbosch, at my temporary ‘office,’ five minutes from my house, in the middle of a vineyard. The Cape is at her seductive best as I sit in a glass room and watch children and families laughing, playing, running and just ‘being’ in the garden outside. The more they move, the brighter their smiles, the easier they laugh.

Fathers join the little ones on the swings, slides and an exquisite handwoven, human-sized “Weaver’s nest” hanging from the tree. Love and joy tangibly fill the air and everyone has one thing in common: they are all playing outside, moving easily and unselfconsciously through their world.

How tragic that as we grow up, we tend to move less freely through our lives. We ‘shut down’ inner parts of us that we deem unacceptable, and our bodies - faithful as ever - follow suit.

We become slower, more sedentary and develop back aches and knee aches and heartaches and headaches.

This is not in any way, natural or to be expected. This is purely because we get so stuck in our mental worlds and worries that we forget to move ourselves to wholeness, to heal the holes created by our own selfjudgement and to consciously leave behind the habits of fear and worry that drain the life-force within us.

The antidote is quite simple – move your body more often and your mind will move too. Dance whenever you can, play as much as possible, stretch, yawn, grunt, groan with pleasure and choose to feel alive. Walk up Lion’s Head, on the beach or in the park, or do a yoga class and give your mind a chance to move too. You deserve to feel whole again, just like the kids and dads in the sunshine. Choose to move your body and you will radiate love and joy.

POWER TO THE CORE

One of the most important things you can do to safe-guard your joints, is strengthen your core muscles. This is your centre of gravity and the place all your movements originate from.

A strong core keeps your power in the centre keeping stress away from the back and neck. It holds you in a better posture, gives you more control and improved performance with all your movements. It helps prevent injury and provides protection and a foundation for your back. Good core stability helps your muscles in the pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work in harmony. When your core is weak you can expect lower back pain and a susceptibility to muscle injury. Even if you do nothing else, spend five minutes everyday working your core. It is the base note of all workouts. Core strength can never be over emphasised.

FLU SEASON

TRUSTED FLU REMEDIES

Take control this Keep Oscillococcinum handy!

Despite miraculous advances in the modern medical world, no one has as yet discovered a cure for the flu.

Once you get the virus, you’ve got it, and destined for some down time. Bed rest is the best option to give your body a chance to recover while the flu runs its course.

Treating the symptoms- the fever, the aches and pains, the cough and pounding head will help tremendously during this time. Chat to your pharmacist about trusted homoeopathic medicines that help your body fight flu and flu-like symptoms.

"Homeopathy can be safely used in conjunction with conventional treatments."

Remember that high temperatures are dangerous – treat with analgesics or ibuprofen or naturally with Belladonna, Feverfew or Barberry tea. A cool bath or cold compresses are good options too, and keep well hydrated by sipping iced water or diluted fruit juice with an added electrolyte formula. Never ignore a fever that refuses to subside or is accompanied by a stiff neck, vomiting or

®

confusion, or symptoms that persist or worsen after 72 hours: consult your health practitioner immediately. Herbal teas, boiling water with sliced lemon, grated ginger or cinnamon and honey are perfect options once your fever has broken, while chicken soup, the good old fashioned ‘Jewish penicillin’ for both asthma and colds,still retains its long-held tradition as a universal cure-all.

Whether science is prepared to give its therapeutic properties a nod or not, the steam helps for congestion; pepper is an ancient treatment for respiratory diseases; onion and ginger are both natural antibiotics. Veggie soups and fruit smoothies will also do the trick (include fruit like berries, guavas and kiwis packed with Vitamin C).

Oranges, grapefruit, broccoli and sweet potatoes should also form part of an anti-flu eating plan. Shy away from junk food - refined carbohydrates, trans and saturated fats and sugar-no matter how comforting their appeal. Your body needs healthy fuel to fight illness, so stick to wholesome, nourishing meals instead. And don’t forget to sideline all forms of exercise until you’re fully recovered, getting physical when you have the flu will put both your immune system and your heart under pressure.

With healthy living and wellbeing both top priorities, the last thing you need as winter approaches is a setback thanks to the flu.

Chances are that wherever you go, you’ll soon be surrounded by coughers and sneezers, greatly increasing your risk of succumbing to the virus.

"Treat exercise as an

appointment that’s just as important as everything else."

Automatically you will find yourself choosing healthier foods, drinking more water and having higher levels of energy.

Make exercise your change and see how it influences your overall lifestyle. Here’s how.

neglected. Even if you are simply trying to lose weight, building lean muscle means you will burn more calories even when you are not exercising. Build all three of these elements into a weekly training session and see how quickly you get results.

The goal is to train in moderation - too much can be as bad as too little. To get the most out of your routine, include all three types of training.

MAKE IT A DATE

ENDURANCE/ CARDIO

This is probably the most important of the three and includes fast paced activities that get your heart pumping like running, cycling and swimming. The great thing about cardio is that you don’t need to spend money on health equipment or gym fees. It’s free to go running outside.

Do a bout of cardio three times a week.

Get a Move On Face facts: eat less and exercise more.

T

he alarm goes off. Is it morning already? You’ve barely had much sleep and it’s going to be a long day. So you might as well skip the gym (just like you did yesterday and the day before) to get a little more rest. That extra hour makes you feel even groggier and guilty about missing your gym session.

But there’s no time for that. You’ve got to get ready for work and the kids ready for school. There’s no time for breakfast so you’ll simply get a sugary croissant at the corner coffee bar, the plan being to eat it when you get to work. That doesn’t work out because the phone is already ringing and emails are popping in every few seconds.

By mid-morning you still haven’t had anything to eat. Your head hurts and you’re exhausted. So you make yourself a third

18

cup of coffee and throw in an extra spoon of sugar. The croissant becomes your lunch - no time to drive out and look for food.

And of course you’ll eat it at your desk, staving off sticky computer keys. The only time you spend outside is probably for a quick cigarette even though you promised yourself you would quit months ago. After work you are drained and the kids need help with their homework so you opt for takeaways. You zone out in front of the TV probably with a glass of wine or beer, check email in bed until your eyes hurt, and then struggle to sleep. The alarm goes off and you have to repeat the cycle all over again.

Does any of this sound familiar? I’m sure at least some of it does. That scenario is an all too common picture of our lives. Five days a week. Fifty weeks a year. Forty years of your life. Barring sick days and early everything you need to live life well

FLEXIBILITY/ STRETCHING

The best time for you to exercise obviously depends on your schedule. Some people are better at mornings while others are better after work. Choose whatever works for you. If you can’t manage a halfhour session all at once, break it up into three ten-minute workouts throughout the day, e.g. taking a quick walk after lunch or when you get home from work. Whatever times you choose, stick to them. Treat exercise as an appointment that’s just as important as everything else.

KEEP IT GOING

Even though there are dozens of diets and more workout routines than there are people in the gym, the simplest solution to losing weight or getting in shape is to eat less and exercise more. In making one change like exercising regularly, you will find a whole lot of other lifestyle habits fall into place.

This includes exercises like yoga and Pilates. Yoga has the added dimension of mind calming, which is perfect for reducing stress. Certain practices can even build up quite a sweat, which means they can count as your cardio workout too. Pilates has an amazing focus on the core which improves posture and can prevent back injuries later in life.

Green-friendly eating with a Vegan Lifestyle

Some of the retro food trends making a comeback are grass fed meat and raw milk, but the strongest health trend these days is back-to-basics with a primarily vegan diet. Eating a plantbased diet will not only help reduce carbon emissions but dramatically increase your health and wellbeing.

Nicole Sherwin, editor of Simply Green magazine and founder The Green Lounge Experience reports.

Last year the world's leading authority on climate change, Dr Rajendra Pachauri told the Observer that going meat-free once a week was the ‘most attractive’ way for individuals to reduce carbon emissions. Hospitals are even taking meat off menus in the U.K as part of a strategy to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while the Belgian town of Ghent announced plans to make every Thursday a meatfree day. The links between meat and climate change have been well known for several years. A UN study in 2006 showed that the livestock industry was responsible for a staggering 18% of man's global greenhouse gas emissions, partly because of deforestation in the Amazon.

Instead of eating animal-based products, vegans choose great-tasting, cholesterolfree, fibre-rich fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and some soy-based foods.

(See www.thekindlife.com by actress Alicia Silverstone for great vegan recipes)

By Eugene Yiga

retirement, that’s ten thousand days of rat race. Without consciously stopping the cycle, it won’t change. Health is the single most important area of life. Unless we’re living with energy and strength, it’s hard to accomplish anything.

Green Tip

Strength training is important for many reasons and yet it is an area often

Keeping up a routine can be tough. Using a personal trainer keeps you accountable and gives you a customised routine.

Working out with friends also helps.

When I first started training, the only way I got to the gym at 06h00, five mornings a week, was by training with my two best friends. It also added fun to the equation.

There is one caution though, make sure you avoid the temptation to chat instead of exercise. It defeats the purpose.

Get your own hoop Make sure you have an adult size, weighted hoop (36inch or bigger). Using a children’s size hoop does not make things easier. The bigger the hoop the easier it is to keep around your waist and the more time you have to co-ordinate your movements.

Start spinning The classic move: Basic waist rotation.

Step inside the hoop. Holding the hoop at waist level, Grip the hoop firmly with two hands, stand with your knees bent and feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. With your hands, push the hoop off a hip so it begins to rotate and send your hoop in a spin. As it spins, sway your hips in a side-to-side motion. Keeping your eyes closed helps you focus in order to get yourself coordinated.

"Start with basic moves until you feel comfortable. "

work it out Installing kids in front of a television might seem a sweet break for a harassed parent but too much time on the couch has many negative implications.

T

HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? Children age 6 and older need at least an hour a day of physical activity. This can be moderate or vigorous activity with a muscle and bone strengthening component.

Things like sport, playground equipment, swimming and skipping will cover both. Remember, exercise does more than support a healthy weight. It also provides a foundation for a lifetime habit of fitness and health.

24

hirty years of teaching kids movement at a school in Cape Town has given a Eurythmy teacher expert insights into how extensive these negative effects are.

“There is a distinct difference in the way kids are now compared to pre-television days. Kids used to move much more, their posture was different, spatial awareness more pronounced, levels of creativity greater, self-confidence better, weight, body shape and size more balanced. All these things have degenerated.”

Parents are highly influential in getting their kids to live a more active life. By teaching your child how to amuse themselves away from the TV or computer, it is possible to instil a life-long love for activity. Kids learn almost everything through example. If you incorporate fitness in your life, it will become a feature in theirs. Besides, getting your kids more active is a great motivation to up your own level of fitness. We list 7ways to bring more movement into your household.

EXERCISE TOGETHER Make it a family affair, go to gym or go cycling together. Introduce a habit of a family walk after dinner every evening. Even 20 or 30 minutes daily will make a difference in your child's level of fitness. Many yoga classes are suitable for kids as well. If children grow up with exercise as a normal part of life, they are more likely to incorporate exercise into their lives permanently.

ENCOURAGE ACTIVE CHORES Kids often mimic grown-up’s by doing chores. Things like washing the car, watering the garden, even vacuuming, sweeping or raking up leaves can be pleasurable activities for them. Add a pocket money value to them to make it even more worthwhile.

ADD A PUPPY Hours of running up and down with a puppy, is a great way to inspire pleasurable outdoor time.

A Frisbee is also an excellent dog friendly tool that requires movement.

UNPLUG What happened to all those games before TV came around. Things like hopscotch, jumping rope, swing ball and tag or flying kites. There were other ball games like ‘Sevens’ where you threw a ball against the wall with different bounces each time. Sometimes all kids need is a bit of guidance. If you teach these games to them they will invariably go outside and play them.

GET WHEELS Skateboards, go-carts and rollerblades are sure ways to promote movement. See that you have somewhere close by that kids can practice, even if it means you have to bring your laptop and catch up on emails. Even better, get a pair of roller blades yourself and join in.

When there are no nasty treats in the house your choices automatically become healthier. Keep tiny bowls nearby and dish out a handful of sunflower seeds, raisons, dried mango, dates, almonds, coconut or raw cacao. Spark added interest by getting kids to help with making their own sweet recipes. Try different blends of soaked dates, coconut,

crushed nuts whipped together with a bit of tahini paste, roll into balls and cover with sesame seeds. Use any variation of dried fruit and nuts to make it interesting. You can also cover balls with coconut. Children will soon develop a taste for these satisfying alternatives and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to deal with hyperactivity caused by too much sugar. When sending them off to parties, give them a variety of home-made sweets to take with them. Sunflower seeds are especially good for staving off cravings.

new handmade soap range

Soft, pure and cleansing Why should a cleaning ritual be boring when you can use one of the Wellness Warehouse own brand soaps and melt into a delicious journey of fragrance and soft indulgence.

Our brand new range of earth friendly soaps is made from 100% naturally derived ingredients. There are no artificial colourants or fragrances used. Rather than test on animals we tested them on humans. After astounding feedback we went as fast as we could to bring them into store.

You will find our soaps keep their shape without getting mushy yet they are soft and beautifully textured. We have purposefully developed the range for a number of uses from energising to soothing, cleansing, exfoliating, detoxing and stimulating. Use them in the shower or bath and because they are earth friendly you can even use them in a rock pool or waterfall. All packaging used is 100% biodegradable.

ollow our 8 tips to ‘green’ your beauty routine.

Be a label junkie Most of us would never just eat anything given to us without knowing what it is, but yet we use beauty products without knowing what ingredients they contain. Ignore the claims on the front of the package and read the list of product ingredients. It may be hard to stop using beauty products with synthetic chemicals in them all together, but you can make a more informed decision about the ones you do choose to use.

Use products with fewer ingredients and less, or no, synthetic chemicals. If you do not recognise or cannot pronounce the ingredients on the label, you may want to rethink using it.

Choose green brands As consumers we all have a lot more power than we think. By shopping differently we start to influence what products get sold and even how those products are made.

Support beauty brands that promote green practices, try to encourage people to be more eco-conscious and strive to use only natural ingredients. Also, only buy brands that are cruelty-free and not tested on animals.

Avoid disposable

GREEN YOUR BEAUTY REGIME

by Janine Garner

Switching to a green beauty routine will not only decrease the size of your carbon footprint, but will protect your natural beauty and reduce the amount of chemicals your body has to deal with.

everything you need to live life well

Nowadays so much we use comes in disposable form. While disposable items (like plastic razors and face wipes) may be very handy, these items often cannot be recycled and add to our landfill problem.

Rather buy items that will last for longer.

Wax, invest in a good electric razor or buy razors that allow you to change the blade.

Instead of using facial wipes, get a reusable face cloth (micro fibre ones are great). When you do need to buy disposable items, make sure they are recyclable or made from biodegradable materials.

Don’t be wasteful Being "green" is not just about changing the way you shop, it also about not wasting the products you have. Look for ways to extend the life of your favourite beauty products. Cutting open plastic cream

containers will extend your product for a couple of days. Use an ear-bud to get lipstick out of an almost finished tube and clean your makeup brushes regularly.

Turn it off One really simple thing you can do to make your beauty routine more eco-friendly is to use less water and power. Reduce energy consumption by occasionally giving your hairdryer or flat iron a rest and let your hair dry naturally. Also remember to save water by not leaving the tap running when you are washing your face or shaving and by showering instead of bathing.

Less is better How many beauty products have you used today? Deodorant, moisturiser, shampoo, soap, lipstick and the list goes on. Before using any product on your body, ask yourself if you really need it. When it comes to synthetic chemical exposure, less is better than more. Just cutting down on the amount of products you use will minimise clutter, save you money and greatly reduce the amount of chemicals fed to your body.

Say bye to dye Most hair dyes and relaxers are loaded with toxic chemicals, which are bad for you and the environment. While there are more natural hair dyes and straighteners starting to be offered at some salons, they are still not widely available and tend to be rather expensive. The best way to keep your hair chemical-free and save money is to embrace your real hair colour and join the Go Natural movement. Most of the time the hair you were born with, suits you the best.

3 REASONS TO

GO GREEN

IT IS BETTER FOR YOU

More than 60% of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body. So using more organic and chemical-free products is much healthier for you.

IT IS KINDER TO THE PLANET Natural beauty products are biodegradable, won't contaminate water systems and are made using eco-friendly processes.

GREEN IS STILL GLAM

Greening your beauty routine does not mean giving up looking glamorous.

There are plenty of all-natural beauty product alternatives.

Cut down on packaging While attractive packaging is great to look at, the truth is most of it ends up in the bin. Look for products with minimal, biodegradable and recycled packaging.

Mother's day promotion for the month of May 2012

Spoil your mom with a 30minute back, neck and shoulder massage and a hand & foot treatment

R300

Start off with a pedicure:

Bowls of warm water with a drop of refreshing lemongrass oil, a squeezed lemon and a floating flower or leaf will do the trick.

Soap thoroughly and use a pumice or scraper to get rid of dry skin. Exfoliate with a good product like a salt based exfoliant to make sure dead skin is softened. Once feet are nicely soft takes turns doing foot massages on each other. Use a deep moisturizer or foot balm and rub in thoroughly. Add a drop of peppermint oil to moisturizer for an extra fresh fragrance. Trim toenails, push back cuticles and step out with gorgeous looking feet with a whole new sense of purpose.

Next time:

Try a facial with a cleanse, mask and moisturise. Trim errant ear and nose hairs while you are at it. On another night try a head massage after which work oil into the hair and leave it on for half an hour before washing. Coconut or sesame oil are both good choices.
