I am so impressed by Kiss The Moon’s Bed Time Bath Infusions. A sleep-inducing muslin wrap of natural salts and essential oils, combined with flower petals and white tea to soften skin and draw out toxins. The combination of soothing French Lavender, Roman Chamomile and Dead Sea salts relax both mind and body, easing you into a deep natural sleep. 100% natural and beautifully aromatic.
These gorgeous truffles are rich and sweet but without refined sugars or milk solids. They make an excellent gift and pair perfectly with after-dinner coffee.
Ingredients:
This smoothie is packed with immune stimulating vitamins A and C, antioxidants, plus anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial turmeric and ginger – excellent for fighting off viruses and infection. From its vibrant colour and zesty fresh flavour, you can tell it’s doing you good.

Come January many of us are ready to take a break from the indulgence that often goes hand in hand with the festive period. Having gained a few pounds, feeling a little lack luster and with New Years resolutions still fresh this is an ideal time to detox.
Detox is a term so carelessly thrown around it had begun to lose meaning. So What does detox actually mean?
Detoxification is a natural process where unwanted, potentially harmful substances are broken down and excreted via, sweat, bowel movements or urine. Your body is processing toxins all the time, and technically is perfectly capable of detoxing unassisted.
However in the modern world even living like a saint, it is hard to avoid the onslaught of toxins. When the body becomes overwhelmed with the level of toxins, they begin to accumulate and systems become compromised.
By assisting and stimulating the organs and systems associated with the detox process we reduce the stress on the body and aid the elimination of harmful toxic build up.
So what exactly is a toxin? Quite simply a toxin is an undesirable substance which hinders or harms physiological functions within our body, having a detrimental effect on our health. We carry within our bodies a chemical cocktail from alcohol and caffeine, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, and residues of pharmaceutical drugs. The result of which may be: Lethargy, brain fog, depression, headaches, weight gain, acne, fertility problems, and decreased immune function to name a few.
How can we detox? There are many ways to detox from retreats to supplements, but the easiest and most cost effective method is through your diet. And lifestyle.
Dr Caroline Longmore’s detox tips:
– Every morning have a cup of hot water and juice of one lemon to stimulate detoxification and digestion
– Drink 2 litres of filtered water a day
– Aim to eat 7-8 portions of fruit and vegetables a day
– Body brush every day before you shower
– Soak in Epsom salts to help draw out toxins through the skin
– Cut all stressors from your diet for at least 2 weeks:
Wheat, Dairy, Alcohol, Refined sugar, Caffeine

40% of men die prematurely. Why are we only just starting to discuss this phenomenon and what can we do about it?
Men are often reluctant to address or discuss their health. Research tells us that men often avoid seeking help until their health has deteriorated severely, by which point their condition may be untreatable. According to a survey by insurance firm Insureblue, one in five men has not seen a doctor in the past three years. Just scratch the surface of men’s health and you will discover some worrying statistics:
So, what can we do about this? We can start by keeping an eye on the men in our life and look out for those who may be suffering in silence and encourage them to ask for help. Education and awareness is key and Make Me Feel is here to help.
At Make Me Feel, we are running a monthly Men’s only Health Clinic where we are offering a 30 minute consultation with Dr Caroline Longmore at a reduced rate of £35. During the assessment, Dr Caroline will:
Don’t wait until it is too late. With regular check ups there is no reason that men should have to suffer a premature illness.
