    Staying Healthy These Holidays

    January 4, 2018 in Beauty

    The holidays are definitely an indulgent time and one tends to eat (and drink) a bit more than usual. These are a few products I’ve used over the festive season, and will continue to use, that helped keep me feeling healthy and energised while also keeping my weight down. In no way was I restrictive in my eating, these products just helped stop me from overindulging too much and then feeling sluggish. Also please always consult your doctor before taking any supplements!

    The first is a product which I received from the proudly South African brand Seaverah called Sculpt & Tone. Seaverah Managing Director, Nicole De Klerk says, ‘Focusing on product efficiency and innovation is key for us, we believe that through these core principles and a holistic approach, we can provide people with products that maximize their potential for wellness.’ All of their products are non-GMO, cruelty free, free from soya and parabens, and contain no chemicals. Seaverah is available from www.seaverah.com and Faithful to Nature.

    Seaverah’s Sculpt and Tone (R399.99) formula is a non-aggressive, natural supplement made to suppress appetite and assist in weight loss without artificial stimulants. I really like that it is stimulant-free and it really does help curb ones appetite.

    Sculpt & Tone naturally aids your body through enhancing Leptin hormone levels in the body. Leptin tells your brain when it is full and when it needs fuel. The formula provides additional nutritional support in the form extra antioxidants, helping to improve the condition of nails, skin and hair.

    I really want to give Seaverah’s Shaping and Sculpting Body Serum a try next which is said to help with cellulite, tighten the skin and reduce blemishes!

    Since I tend to skip breakfast and have now given up coffee I’ve started having smoothies instead. Two of my favourites are Absolute Organix Life Matrix Vegan Super Smoothie Essentials and the range from Nature’s Nutrition (Available from MyHealthStore). Nature’s Nutrition Super Greens, Reds + Protein in Wild Apple is my personal favourite. It’s a superfood drink and an easy way to get your daily fruits,vegetables and greens. It also helps aid digestion, enhance your immune system, boost your energy and is only 75-calories per serving. The added pea protein is essential for promoting muscle tone,recovery, performance and overall health. It is also vegan as it contains dairy-free probiotics. I’m trying to cut down on my dairy consumption so both of these products are great.

    Since I’ve given up coffee (for the most part) I’ve started drinking more tea so when I received a box of Skinny Green Tea it was the perfect replacement. It also tastes really good and I love having my cup mid-morning as it is also very energising. Skinny Green Tea retails for 1 pack/20 tea bags (R120.00) and
    3 packs/60 tea bags (R330.00).

    Skinny Green Tea is a natural weight-loss product that consists of 3 powerful ingredients: Green Tea, Zychrome and Cardiaslim. Research shows that green tea has been linked to appetite suppression. Green Tea is made up of properties that have been known to increase caloric expenditure as well as the metabolism of fats.

    Zychrome is a specific chromium complex that assists in regulating the blood sugar levels in the body in a more effective manner than other forms of chromium.

    Cardioslim contains the blend of 2 plants extracts that have been proven to be safe and effective for weight loss whilst regulating and maintaining a healthy cholesterol level.

    Cardioslim is naturally derived, sustainably sourced, and vegetarian – it is sourced from flowers and fruits of Sphearanthus indicus and Garcinia mangostana.

    Also to start my year off on the right foot I’ve been busy with a detox this week which is a completely safe digestive detox and not a gimmicky quick fix. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on it next week but am halfway through and already feel so good.

      I take my multivitamins and my vitamin D tabs but these seem really good too! I’m keen to give the green tea a try, I love tea!

    It was such a relief to not only finally be back i It was such a relief to not only finally be back in Cape Town, well above it. But also being able to look down & see the beauty of probably the best road to drive in South Africa- Clarence Drive. 

We’d been stuck in #Durban after the airline overbooked flights for 3 days ahead. We even had to “sleep” overnight, I couldn’t sleep, at the airport. We were stuck there for over 19 hours. As there were “so many” potential chances for Standby flights….

    I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to the new #BossMightyChunks range from @bossdogfood over the past month. This particular post is about health. 

About just how important your animal's health is as your own.
These furry little souls keep me going. They kept my spirits up throughout the medical challenges I faced last year. Seeing them was bliss.

The first two are from last week when I re-purchased their new favourite tasty meals. They actually recognised the cans! Queen Candi wanted to make sure "her" food was protected. You can see poor Rocco pleading. It wasn't even supper time yet. 
Our dogs mean so much to us. They are our children. They are on a par with a human toddler in terms of neediness. We admittedly do spoil them a bit too much. However, their well-being is something we have always made sure as all dog parents is a priority. 

They never miss their annual health checkups with any potential issues treated immediately. You may know that last year was a challenging time for me health-wise. It was such a difficult period for my partner & beloved fur-babies. 

Some of the more serious ones included being diagnosed with a second rare chronic illness, 3rd person in South Africa. Also cardiac issues & complications (another rare disease) and then a mini-stroke & more. On top of that, just two days after my final life-saving surgery. 

Richard and the dogs came close to losing their lives when our entire house burnt down. It was a huge turning point for us. We focused more on taking better care of ourselves, valuing every aspect of our lives and are beyond grateful that both dogs managed to make it out. 

I jumped at the opportunity when Boss reached out to me to try their new Mighty Chunks range. That is the dogs trying the range! Not me🤣. I will admit that for someone who doesn't eat meat, the rosemary scent is rather pleasant! 

Seeing how adding some healthy wet food like Boss Mighty Chunks that is nutrient-filled to their diet made an actual difference to their health. Agility and digestive, respectively, have again made us reevaluate the importance of health and well-being. For all of us!

    Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” since including @bossdogfood 
Boss Mighty Chunks into their diet. I thought the thicker gravy for extra taste as a topper is the best and meatier chunks might be a bit much for Candi but she gobbles them down with delight. It’s also helped give her more energy and fewer digestive issues it seems. As an Irish Setter, Rocco is more prone to joint and flexibility issues so seeing him extra agile since including these has been a noticeable health benefit too. 

They are obviously always excited for meal time but not usually this enthusiastic!

Oh, and to purchase or for any information about the new formulation’s extra protection & health benefits then visit the link in my bio.

    The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape is needed! I love Autumn but I’m craving sunny beaches and tranquility and would love it if my next holiday is somewhere exclusive. 

While daydreaming and scrolling, I spotted the incredible @clubmed La Plantation d'Albion! It offers so much! Evening activities, scuba-diving (which I haven't done and want to), a beach bar, secluded coves, a luxurious Cinq Monde Spa and adult-only Zen Zones. Oh did I mention ALL-INCLUSIVE gourmet food, an open bar plus Champagne all day! It’s relaxation heaven! 

Being all-inclusive it’s also budget-friendly which will make it easier to convince Richard to book it for us! 

So, when you make a booking (Link in Bio) tag me in your snaps to make me extra jealous!

    How does the saying go again? In the entertainment How does the saying go again? In the entertainment industry, never work with children or animals?

Well, I've discovered this was especially true tonight. I was just trying to get some snaps of Rocco & Candi testing out some of the new Boss Mighty Chunks. They are available in 3 flavours- Chicken Casserole, Grilled Steak & Lamb Stew. I've honestly never seen them this excited over a specific food before, and they already go crazy for food. 

Candi was incredibly naughty. She's usually so well-behaved. She had the audacity to climb onto the table and stuck her face into the Grilled Steak can! Just as I was setting up my camera.

As a pescatarian, dog food in general typically doesn't have the most appetising smell to me. So I was surprised that all of the Boss Mighty Chunks has a pleasant & extremely unique aromatic rosemary scent. Something both Furbabies seem to love as you can clearly see from all of the fantastic blurry tongues out & mouth-watering impatient background photos of them.
