I absolutely love all products by Kérastase – all products deliver what they promise & I cannot live without them. They keep my hair, strong, glossy and healthy. Kérastase Ciment Thermique transforms my big mane into silky and smooth dew. For my locks I use quite a generous amount- and blow dry with a ceramic round brush for added volume.

I have been getting asked about the Alkaline foods alot recently, so just to give you a simple definition, basically Alkaline= Plant Based foods (green leafy vegetables like cabbage, kale, lettuce and spinach, other excellent sources include almonds, avocados, bananas, beats, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, potatoes and watermelon ect). Your body will reap the rewards by incorporating 80% Fruits and Vegetables and 20 % Fish, Chicken and Good Carbs in your diet. Of coarse this does not always apply for me on weekends or special occasions. “Alkaline foods elevate the body’s pH balance, turning it from acid to alkaline. Acidic environments disrupt oxygen absorption and contribute to such serious conditions as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and cancer. Eating alkaline foods not only helps prevent those conditions, it assists in alleviating stress and increasing energy.”

Although I have a few favourite Face Cleansers out there, I also like to switch it up. Recently I have been using the 3-1 Purity Cleanser for face and eyes by PHILOSOPHY. The light and creamy texture cleanses, tones and removes all signs of make up in the most gentle way possible, leaving you with incredibly soft and glowing skin. A little goes a long way, and I use it with my Clarisonic to maximize the benefits.

Starting your day with a Vegetable Smoothie is a great way to get some of your daily dose in one hit- as well as being very alkalizing and filling you up. Within 20 minutes of drinking your juice, the nutrients are already working your arteries and eins and the absorbtion rate is 99% as oppose to 50% when eaten raw. Here is another recipe to try out , Blend or Juice : 1 Cucumber, 2 Tomato’s, 1 avocado, 1 Handful of Kale or Spinach, Half Red Pepper, 1 Scoop of Mega Greens or Clean and Lean. If you have this or a green type of smoothie mostly veggie based every day- you will soon see and feel the benefits.

Magnesium is a vital mineral that helps play an in important role on our over all health and well-being. Multiple health benefits of magnesium include “transmission of nerve impulses, body temperature regulation, detoxification, energy production, and the formation of healthy bones and teeth.” I take 250-500mg a day as well as getting it from foods such as almonds, whole grains, fish, and green leafy vegetables.
