Happy 2015!

New beginnings start here…
WELLBEING
If it’s motivation to work out that you’re looking for, we think nothing does the trick better than a new active-wear kit. We’ll be slinging this bag from Hey Holla over our shoulder daily as a constant reminder of our number one New Year’s resolution (plus people might ask us often enough about our workout we may actually feel more obliged to go!) www.heyholla.com
Just in time for the New Year, our favourite certified organic juice brand has teamed up to bring us a cleansing experience as never seen before. This January, organic juice company Radiance Cleanse and one of the UK’s leading yogi’s Jane Kersel will introduce the ‘Ritual Cleanse’, designed to fully support both body and mind. The program consists of organic, cold pressed juices and nut milks alongside dynamic and restorative yoga practices with guided meditations and the added bonus of one of Jane’s signature candles – we love! www.radiancecleanse.com

KITCHEN
We are a little obsessed with the limited edition hermes-esque style ‘living’ prints by vegetable artist Amber, better known as the Raw Vegan Blonde. We’ll be giving these out to our friends hoping to up the ante in the vegetable department this year. With one of these hung in your kitchen, how could you not be always inspired to eat green! www.ambaliving.com
A refreshing and uplifting tonic tea with detoxifying properties based on a long history of traditional use, this January we’ll be sipping on our Content Cleanse Tea available in our limited edition Content New Year Collection to give our bodies a little helping hand at returning to their pre-festive season state. Featuring some of our favourite natural detoxifiers such as cornflower, traditionally used for its stimulating properties on the digestive system and liver and cleavers to help clear congestion and promote the elimination of waste products and toxins from the body. We could all use a little help at this time of year! Get it here.
If you’re prone to picking up Winter bugs or simply want to make sure you don’t, our Cold-fighting Tonic will do you no wrong. A potent immune booster, we’ve been blending up a batch of this bug-beating remedy at the first signs of a cold and are still yet to get ill! Get The Recipe.
