• Hands up if your hands and feet are in need of some TLC! Here is a simple make at home energising hand and foot treatment that I created to help nourish, refresh and restore our hard working hands & feet. Ingredient 2 table spoons rice 2 table spoons oats 2 teaspoons ginger powder 4 table spoons sunflower oil (or similar) ½ bottle Yakult Original / Yakult Light (can be replaced with water or milk) Mix all ingredients together, allow to stand for 5 – 10 minutes to allow the oats and rice to soften, then take 5 minutes to massage on hands and feet. Oats to soothe and hydrate, rice to add a slightly firmer exfoliation, ginger for a quick uplift, and sunflower oil to nourish. Have you heard of the Yakult ladies? Me neither! Yakult was originally sold in little glass bottles door to door by the Yakult Ladies (still active in Japan and a few other countries!) The ladies would collect and wash the bottles to be reused. With all the washing their hands didn't suffer, actually the opposite happened, which inspired the company to develop skin-care solutions using the power of lactic acid bacteria for the skin. Until we can go to Japan to give Yakult skin-care products a go, you can try our DIY at home super easy to mix recipes #WellbeingWithYakult #BoostYourMood #DIYBeauty #YakultLadies #Yakult #YakultLight #YakultUK #athomebeauty #AD

  • How are you really doing? A question with more than one answer, the one we often give & the one we are actually feeling. We are conditioned to not over share & keep things to ourselves, which is OK, however if your first answer is “I’m fine.... you?” But maybe your actually feeling, I’m sooo not fine. Maybe it will pass, maybe it won’t, maybe your too exhausted to make new habits or do the inner work to build yourself up .... guess what.... That is totally OK. It’s good to take some time to reflect, check in with yourself, is there something that would be really helpful to share, get some support on or just have an open chat. Sometimes all we need is to hear “I see you... I hear you... you are loved” Be kind & honest with yourself, if you can make time to have a regular check in with yourself, “how am I doing” write it down, you might also be surprised how amazing your doing, you got through this week. Maybe you needed to hear this today, or you know someone who might need to hear this too 💚 I see you... sending Love ❤️🙏🏼 #howareyoureally #howareyoureallychallenge #wellnesswednesday #mentalhealthmatters

  • What would you tell your younger self about skincare & self care if they were in front of you right now?...... I have written a blog about the must know skincare mistakes your making in your 20’s these are definitely things I would be telling my younger self! As well as you are beautiful you are loved..... With everything that’s going on in your twenties taking care of your skin might not be at the top of your to-do-list, however the choices you make in your twenties when it comes to your skin can create a greater impact later down the line. Trust me, I know! I think I have personally made all of the mistakes i mention in the blog and Im forever telling my 21 year old daughter to listen too (She’s the beauty in the pic) The skin is our largest organ of the body and our outer protector that often doesn’t receive the care and attention it needs. #skinexpert #skintips #AbigailLoves #bestskinofyourlife #bestskinever #beautytips #bestskincareever

  • #Adv Embracing a more natural look to our hair has become the norm. Now is a perfect time to try some DIY beauty hacks and our hair might be in much need of some extra TLC. I’ve designed a simple hair tonic to nourish and smooth your hair and scalp Ingredients 1. 5 teaspoons sunflower / sesame / olive oil 2. 1 table spoon rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar / apple cider) 3. 1 bottle Yakult Original / Yakult Light (can be replaced with water or milk) The vinegar lowers the PH of the scalp, and can help flatten hair follicles, while the oil naturally nourishes and hydrates the hair shaft and the scalp. Place all ingredients into a bowl, mug or glass and mix together. Wash your hair with your normal shampoo, then apply the hair rinse to your hair and scalp, massage down the ends. Take a few moments to massage your scalp in a firm slow shampooing action. Wrap your hair in a towel and leave to absorb for 15 minutes (it can be left overnight if desired) rinse hair, with a tiny bit of shampoo and condition then dry as normal. The result healthy, shiny hair. #WellbeingWithYakult #BoostYourMood #DIYBeauty #YakultLadies #Yakult #YakultLight #YakultUK #glossyhair #athomebeauty

  • I have long been a fan of lemon water, it’s fairly common knowledge of its health benefits & support for digestion. There is the obvious health benefit of we all generally need to drink more water for our health & skin. But with the added Lemon 🍋 (at least half a lemon, not just a slice & ice) there are soooo many more benefits. Yes lemons are acidic, but when we consume them they actually have a PH balancing effect, which can have an anti inflammatory impact. They help to regulate digestive enzymes, supporting gut health. This impacts on supporting the liver. Lemons are packed with Vitamin C, a mega antioxidant we know is essential for our immune system, (which we all still need to really support) our over health & skin. All the above are key points for clear, healthy skin. I’m not quite at the point of sucking on lemons straight but adding them to water, squished over salads & in juices is a long term habit I’m not giving up anytime soon. Are you a lemon juice fan? 🍋 #wellnesswednesday #healthychoices #Loveyourskin #AbigailLoves #skinhealth
