Hello and welcome to the first post of 2015, and what better way to kick off the year than an immune system boosting smoothie recipe to start the day as well as a little suttin’ suttin’ to say thank you for sticking with me over the passed 3 years.
We all know of the little orange fizzing tablets that our grandparents used to pop in their glasses of water first thing in the morning (that’s actually quite specific so might just be me on that one) but these sachets from Emergen-C contain a “mega dose” of Vitamin-C, some 1,000mg and 6 B vitamins! However as someone who rarely gets ill, the thought of boosting my immune system really isn’t worthy of yet another supplement…Or so I thought.
After digging a little deeper it became apparent that Emergen-C offers many more benefits than just an immune system boost and since receiving a box of Emergen-C a few weeks back, I now pop a sachet on my bedside table before bed and drop it into my glass of water as I wake, It’s a nice refreshing way to wake up. But also ensure your body receives all the added benefits such as connective tissue repair, antioxidant activity and helps in the prevention of certain conditions, such as scurvy, gout and cholesteremia.
With that in mind the people over at Emergen-C provided me with some bits and bobs to keep your New Years resolutions on track, as well as a little pampering a long the way. The competition is open to world wide entrants and ends Sunday 11th January!
Up for grabs is:
a Jawbone UP activity tracker
1 box of Emergen-C sachets
1 tub of PhD Woman Support & Recovery Protein Powder
2 Bottles of Bondi Sands (The best fake tan in the world)
1 of my favourite Lush Bath bombs
Hosting a very special breakfast for my girls in honour of @princestrust and @thebrilliantbreakfast to raise money to help young women turn their lives around through work, education and training. A donation of £5 can enable a woman to simply travel to an interview which could go on to change her life forever so I would absolutely love it if you would join me in hosting your own Brilliant Breakfast between the 9th and 15th October, whether it’s simply coffee with a close friend, or encouraging your entire office to get involved, the funds raised will go towards helping young women, aged 11-30 create better futures for themselves.
And thank you to my angel @hello.petal.flowers for giving her time and creative flare to bring my vision for the breakfast to life, of course you don’t have to go with florals like me, but if that’s something you enjoy this is the perfect opportunity to throw a lovely breakfast with your girlfriends with a cause that will help so many other women, front and centre!

The oldest English retailer of fragrance and still to this day is family owned. The @florislondon flagship on Jermyn Street was a real treat to experience recently. I purchased their Together Fragrance Customisation as a double gift for both Ali and I. I gave my overall thoughts on the experience in a recent YouTube video but overall we would highly reccomend! It was an incredible experience and I will continue to repurchase my custom fragrance for many years to come no doubt.
