  1. An untapped source of antioxidants that have the power to repair skin damage from too much sun and revitalise skin that has been under the pressures of smoke, bad nutrition, too much alcohol and the effects of harsh environments. This is the perfect post-holiday solution. Packed with Beta Carotene, Vitamins A, B and E this is a super food for the skin. Research also indicated that Carrot Seed oil may be very effective in treating psoriasis and eczema.

    We have been using Carrot Seed Essential Oil in our Forever Young Face oil for nearly 10 years… no wonder it got voted Best Oil of Year by Harpers Bazaar!

    We have now developed a Limited Edition Body Oil to help with the aftermath of holiday fun. Its rich in lots of repair nutrients. To reinforce the power of the Carrot seed Oil we matched with Chamomile that is perfect to bring down inflammation and Orange Peel Oil to give the skin a wonderful healthy glow.

    During my #SevenDayDetox I spoke about breathing as one of the most important forms of cleansing. In our busy routines we often forget to focus on one of the simplest and most important things we can do- breathing. Will Williams offers 3-4 day courses in meditation and once you’ve learnt a technique you have life long access to a mediation teacher and free access to meetings. It’s the perfect thing to learn before you go on holiday to allow full enjoyment and relaxation.

    Since starting to explore the benefits of the vegan diet I can’t get enough delicious juice. A favorite of mine being the G2 juice from Roots & Bulbs made up of cucumber, spinach, romaine, apple and herbs. Roots & Bulbs understand the nutritional value of pulp so they don’t throw any of the good stuff away. They also have 1-2 day detoxifying juice plans at £69 per day to help cleanse the body.

    Sport with style. I love getting ready to go to the gym or for a workout; everyone is getting to sports chic. Net-A-Porter’s new sports section has to be my number one choice for sportswear. It’s even separated in to sports categories, you can’t go wrong.

    Mildred’s is a delicious vegetarian restaurant in Soho that shows you how easy it is to integrate vegan meals in to our diet. Mixed mushroom pies.. sour dough burger and chips.. don’t even get me started on desserts! The people I went with were not vegetarian but we all loved the food.

  3. Great lunch for summer skin. With more sun exposure, barbecues, picnics and summer parties I worry my skin is being deprived of good vitamins and antioxidants. I made this most delicious salad for my lunch to give my body what it needs to maintain my skin’s good health.

    Green beans and tomatoes are full of antioxidants and carotenoids such as beta-carotene, which is great to help skin cope with more sun than usual. Avocado’s Vitamin E content will support the skin and make it stronger. Buffalo mozzarella and smoked salmon are a delicious combination and good protein sources, but note that whilst smoked salmon has good health benefits as it contains Iron and many other essential minerals, it also contains rather a lot of sodium so eat in moderation. I drizzle extra virgin infused with chilli over my salads for the essential fatty acids that skin loves. Multigrain Ryvita is made with just wholegrain rye flour, toasted seeds and a hint of salt so I have a couple of slices when I fancy a bit of carb on the side!
