a superfood smoothie to see you through the winter

7th December 2015
The fluffy slippers are out and the heating is on which means Winter has arrived and we are only a sneeze away from the dreaded common cold. In this day and age we don’t even have time to sit down let alone take a week off work. One of the most important things you can do is fuel yourself with the right nutrients to protect yourself during the colder months and my favourite way of getting a big shot of goodness has always been smoothies. As a child I was never big on fruit and veg so this has become the easiest process for me to cram as much goodness into me enjoyably. The Key ingredients for this smoothie are quinoa which is high in protein, antioxidants, and amino acids to name a few. Activia, whilst also adding a delicious flavour to the smoothie is also full of probiotic bacteria to boost your immune system and protect your body against colds and germs  and finally blueberries, another antioxidant powerhouse containing up to 24% of your recommended daily amount of vitamin C. I love starting my day with smoothies especially ice cold ones to wake you up like a freezing shower but instead backed with lots of goodness so at the moment I’m shoving all of this in my Nutribullet first thing in the morning.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
