Do you want to Age Well? About a week ago my daughter and I celebrated our birthday on the same day.  She became 25 and I turned 65.  Although the number seems rather large now I've reached it, I feel enormously grateful to have lived long enough to celebrate it!

Although the process of ageing is a natural part of life, it can be challenging can't it.  Ageing is a complex process involving a variety of factors.  We all know that exercise, diet and lifestyle are important, but I also believe that our attitude towards the ageing process, plays a big part.  The more we resist the passing of our youth, the more uncomfortable it will be.  

How do you feel about getting older?  Are you cool with it, or are you a bit ageist?

In the UK Ageism is rife.  I've had people say to me, "You look great for your age" or  "Haven't you got an amazing body for your age".   I must admit, sometimes, I buy in to it, but when I can catch myself (or someone else) using expressions such as. 'senior moments', 'well, you're not getting any younger' or 'it's a slippery slope from now on', I look for ways to reframe that ageist conversation, because let's face it, it doesn't make any of us feel good!

I believe that it's really important to embrace life, with ALL it's challenges.  After all, it's not the easy stuff that builds our resilience and character it's the stuff that's difficult (emotionally and physically) that gives us an opportunity to grow and flourish.

So, are you going to waste time resisting the passing of time, or grab every single moment and celebrate being alive?

Wanting to both age well and be a Conscious Consumer, I buy from a BCorp brand called Arbonne.  Using their results-driven, vegan skin care and nutrition, makes a huge difference to the way I look and feel and I'm often told I look 10 years younger than I am!  Because of the impact these products have had on my body, mind, and skin, I now recommend them to others too.

If you want to age well, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, have more energy, a clear head and healthy glowing skin check out my bio.

I am enormously proud of being an ambassador with #arbonne and here is why….

We have so many certifications. #bcorpcertified #glutenfreecertified #oukoshercertified #Halalcertified #PETAcertified #informedsportcertified

If a product label says #Vegan but not ‘vegan certified’, it may well be tested on animals or contain animal by products.

Are you buying from a B Corporation? A company that balances ‘people, planet and profit’? There are only 6,000 certified BCorps in the UK.

Can you see why I’m so happy to use and represent this brand? Are you brand loyal?

Leave me a ❤️ if you value these things too ...

Glowing skin starts from within. When you get your gut in great working order, your skin will reap the benefits.

Your gut contains approximately 100 trillion bacteria. This bacteria is made up of fungi, viruses and other bacteria and is known as your ‘gut microbiome.
To have a strong immune system it is eventual that your gut microbiome is healthy.

Did you know that when you take a course of antibiotics, it can actually take you 1 to 6 months to recover!

Do you suffer from bloating, gas, or irregular bowel movements? If you do, it can indicate that you have poor gut health. The great thing is though that for a lot of us, we can take a supplement daily to nourish our gut. When it comes to supplements however, not all supplements are created equal. It is vital that the supplements you take are ‘heat stable’ so that it can stand up to your stomach acid.

I’m all about #smartnutrition for busy people (nutrition that supports your mind, body and skin) alongside a diet of good healthy whole foods. I know some people believe we’re able to get all the nutrients from our food, but I disagree. I believe that might have been the case 30, or 40 years ago, but now, due to over farming, that’s just not possible.

I put my gut health 1st and that’s why I have the #greengutglow every morning.

The Green Gut Glow contains 3 products that I simply put in a glass and mix with water, simples!

BeWell #Supergreens - containing essential phytonutrients and antioxidants
#GutHealth - for #probiotics #probiotcs and #digestiveenzymes
#SkinElixir - with Vitamin C, Biotin, Carotene and Hylauronic acid to boost our natural collagen.

Our skin is a bit like as mattress, and from the age of 20, our skin becomes a little less springy.

Clinical trials have proven that the Green Gut Glow reduces bloating in just 3 days!
