Tranquil Flow Wellness

A friend of mine does Qi Gong classes with me and used her fitness watch to compare a Qi Gong session with a circuit training session. I have to admit even I was surprised at the numbers - imagine burning nearly the same amount of calories without working up a sweat and feeling centred and energised!

Treat yourself to some pampering indulgence... whether it's a special occasion or you really need some quality me-time.

Hip Hip Hibiscus!

I have known for some time about the blood pressure lowering and weight loss benefits of drinking hibiscus tea. But only recently did I learn how great it is for skin!
Hibiscus has the amazing ability to inhibit elastase - an enzyme which breaks down our skin's elastin. This helps to keep skin firm and elastic.
Hibiscus contains citric and malic acid which gently exfoliate the skin, increasing cell turnover, which may be helpful for pigmentation and acne.
This wonder flower is also rich in anthocyanocides - antioxidants which protect the skin from premature ageing.

I made myself a beautiful facial toner and will share the recipe :)
Bring 200ml water to the boil with a pinch of green tea leaves (I'm an antioxidant ju**ie!) and a teaspoon of dried hibiscus flowers. Allow to cool to room temperature and then pour into a spray bottle, add 2 to 3 drops of rose geranium essential oil. Use twice daily as part of your skincare routine, or even carry it in your bag for a mist of freshness whenever you need it.
