Drink your greens


The clever people at Radiance Cleanse - the UK's premier fresh juice delivery service have just launched their Radiance Green Cleanse - the first of its type here in the UK. Thank God someone has done this, I have been harping on about the benefits of green juices for years.

Why's it so special? Basically the more alkaline our bodies become the healthier we are. These perky little green juices (a mix of fresh organic vegetables) work miracles on our system, allowing us to detox in a truely nourishing way. End result -a stronger immune system, more energy and if you need to loose a few pounds they will simply drop off. Drink up!

Bump happy


There are some things that really uplift the spirit when with bump - especially towards the end when to be honest it becomes a little uncomfortable.

For that pregnancy feel good factor check out a few of my favourite things:

Using - Spiezia face cleanser. The effective and calming herb blend has kept my skin glowing with health.

Taking - Viridian Pregnancy complex - the blend with the most impressive and purest ingredients list. Its helped keep me energetic and prevented too many hormonal melt downs.
Indulging - Treating myself to a weekly gluten free polenta and almond cake at Melrose + Morgan in Primrose Hill - could be one of the best deli's in London http://www.meroseandmorgan.com/

Stretching my limbs - With the gorgeous Nadia Narain at triyoga - a great way to meet other new mums to be and to give you that feeling of inner calm and contentment http://www.triyoga.co.uk/

Wearing - The beautiful Tallulah & Hope poncho's throughout my entire pregnancy - the fabrics are gorgeous and the shapes very flattering. I am sure they are going to be in my wardrobe post baby too http://www.tallulahandhope.com/
Both Spiezia and Viridian supplements available from the glowgetter store.

Uplifting prints


With the rush to get the babies nursery sorted I have come across these gorgeous prints by artist Frea Buckler. Luckily I have managed to snap up the 'Elephants on parade' print and also some of the smaller prints including this gorgeous one of blue giraffes. Her uplifting range of prints will brighten up any nursery and hopefully inspire baby Astrid to love animals.

Stretch mark free tummy


Since bump I have been smothering my tummy with a range of anti stretch mark oils, creams, balms and lotions. So far so good - I'm 8 months pregnant and none have appeared yet. The ones that stand out against the crowd are The Organic Pharmacy's Mother to be stretch mark oil - smells divine and is easily absorbed. The combination of rose hip, marigold, neroli and lavender works to deeply nourish while the essentials oils calm the mind.

Mama Mio's award winning Tummy Rub Stretch Mark butter has a nice consistency and melts in easily, leaving the stomach feeling hydrated and comfortable. It also seemed to help with the itching of the area which often happens as the stomach stretches and grows. Its packed with healing and nourishing Omega oils but the pungent smell put me off using it regularly.

My personal favourite is Spiezia's Restorative Balm - the smell is heavenly, the texture creamy and thick and the ingredients list impressive and as natural as it gets. The powerful combination of coconut oil, nettle and rosehip means it is super hydrating and repairing. The downside? It takes a while to sink in as its so rich so best used in the evenings post bath.

Sticking to The Organic Pharmacy's oil in the mornings and Spezia's Restorative balm in the evening as an indulgent treat.
