As the weather heats up this summer, you might be wondering what drink will keep you hydrated. Water allows you to stay hydrated and doesn’t contain unnecessary calories or additives.

Drinking the right amount of water for your personal health and activity level is important. Try healthy add-ins like fresh mint, sliced cucumber, or lemon wedges to add flavor and variety to your water.

Collagen is a major building block of your body and the most abundant protein which structures all organs and connective tissue. The amount of collagen in the body decreases we age, causing our risk of developing degenerative disorders to increases.

I needed a good boost after my morning run and opted for this lethal smoothie combo right here, filled with good fats, delicious healthy cacoa, frozen banana and just 1 drop of Copaiba Essential Oil 🥳

🥑 Avo's - I just use half an avo as it makes the smoothie so nice and creamy!
One avocado — about one cup cubed — contains about 240 calories, or about 10-20 percent of most people's daily calorie needs. Avocados are high in fat. But it's monounsaturated fat, which is a "good" fat that helps lower bad cholesterol, as long as you eat them in moderation. Avocados also offer nearly 20 vitamins and minerals 😍

🍌 Bananas - A wide variety of health benefits are associated with the curvy yellow fruit. Bananas are high in potassium and pectin, a form of fiber. They can also be a good way to get magnesium and vitamins C and B6 and these are just a few of the many benefits of bananas.

🍫 Unsweetened Cacao - Antioxidants are compounds that have been reported to be beneficial to our long-term health by delaying cell damage. Cacao has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties and may reduce risk of diabetes. Raw cacao contains magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese.

🌱 Copaiba EO - For internal use only 1 drop per 8-12 hours mixed with liquid or in a capsule topped with a carrier oil for powerful antioxidant and immune health as well as to soothe and calm the nervous system. **please note, I did my research thoroughly before choosing doterra. You can't just take any store bought essential oil internally, so please take caution before choosing a supplier.

🖤 Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Keep your vitality. A life without health is like a river without water.

I did a quick little workout yesterday and it's incredible and humbling how much love the little muscles need as well.
I did a combo of bodyweight, free weight and pilates exercises and felt so good afterwards, best part is it took me nothing more than 30min !!

It's important to hydrate and fuel your body as our organs, cells and endocrine system needs love too. I finished off my session with this great blend from doTERRA as it contains Cinnamon, Ginger, Grapefruit, Lemon and Peppermint.
It is a proprietary metabolic blend, which combines powerful essential oils known to promote a healthy metabolism when ingested.

Being brought up in beautiful Jbay, the word 'community' meant everything!!! And that is why I always try to support local as far as I can.

is a delicious supershake with an array of ingredients, from plant protein, organic greens, mushroom blend, fibre, vitamins, probiotics and just so much goodness!
I also added raw cacao nibs (***note to self, raw cacao is as bitter as they state on the packet, don't be tempted and ever think otherwise again!) But it works a treat in smoothies and has incredible properties!

If your life is fast paced and you often find yourself making excuses, head over to Dischem, their prices are a whole 50 bucks cheaper for this tub of glory than any website! Plus, reduce the carbon footprint at the same time 🥳

It might not be for practical for everyone to do what they truly love for a career but you should most definitely know what lights you up and what it is you love. Everyone should have a passion, something that excites you and something you enjoy. If you don’t, then you need to take the time to start exploring this idea.

Life is short and is often lacking in enthusiasm, excitement, passion and purpose. The world needs more people doing their soul’s work because that’s where the magic lies. That’s where we can make our greatest contribution to society. It’s not selfish to do what you love, it’s exactly what you should do, so be fearless in your pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.

I'm sure you know and have heard that you can't pour from an empty cup.

Take a look at how you structure your days and accomplish tasks. Can you do something to simplify your process, to decrease decision-making—and thereby give yourself more time to do what really matters, to do what you love, to do what makes you smile?

Recharging during the week is simply about being intentional and also having self-compassion. Show yourself your value by making time for the here and now versus reserving happiness for the weekend.

Recharge and Refill yourself daily with what matters, in order for you to return the favour to others.

Happy Sunday all x

Cold pressed juice protects and preserves the nutrients of the fruits and vegetables. Since the cold press juicer presses the produce to extract the juice, no heat is involved. ... You get 100% of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and nutrients when you drink cold pressed juice.

Remember to eat more veggies than fruit, even though sugar in fruit isn't processed, your body still sees it as a sugar.
A well balanced diet with good fats, proteins and fibre is just as important.

Ready for a juicy orange fact?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that aids the immune system and helps prevent cellular damage caused by exposure to toxins. It is also used to create collagen, which is used to heal wounds and maintain healthy skin, gums, bones, and blood vessels. Vitamin C also helps the body absorb and store iron.

BEST SOURCES of Vit C:

Guava
Kiwifruit
Bell Peppers
Strawberries
Oranges
Papaya
Broccoli
Tomato
Snow Peas
Kale

As a rule of thumb, I try to limit my intake of fruit after 12pm, so fruit in the morning and veggies in the afternoon/evening.
