The Little Green Beauty Box

I'm sure it's happened to us all, you go to Boots with a list of things you need and you tell yourself you are going to stick to the list this time. Until you spot a display of that new product you've read about and the packaging is just too pretty to say no to. You get home and try it out only to realize you hate it. Ugh, so annoying!

 This is one of the reasons I love beauty subscription boxes, for a small amount each month you get to try  several different products which allows you to decide whether or not you think the full size would be a worthy investment. As you probably know I currently have a subscription to Birchbox, which has allowed me to try out all sorts of beauty bits. Some I have fallen in love with, others not so much but that's the beauty of these boxes.

 On a recent Google binge which I like to classify as pure research, I discovered SoukSouk a green beauty box company that offers their customers a range of organic, natural, chemical and cruelty-free products. They work like most other subscription boxes offering a range of packages as well as offering limited addition boxes and a bespoke beauty box.

This box gives you the opportunity to try products that not only make you look good but are good for you. With the amount of gunk our bodies have to deal with on a regular basis, finding products that our natural and effective is music to any beauty junkies ears.  

 With their one year anniversary just passing SoukSouk is making an impression in the beauty box subscription world. I think I'm going to give it a try and see if I can greenify my beauty routine.

Green Love

This week I'm spending a lot of my time spring cleaning. I love going through the house and giving each room a good organize, getting rid of the things we don't use any more. When the house is tidy and organized I feel so much more at peace and calm. 

 I decided that since I was giving the house a good clean out, I would go on a detox for myself as well. As I'm sure you've noticed from here and here and here! I've been indulging a bit too much recently and my body is definitely feeling it! Lately I just feel gross and not myself so I thought a good cleanse should do me some good. 

 One of my favourite things to drink while doing a cleanse is a green smoothie. I love them because they actually are delicious, they keep me full for hours and I feel so energized after I drink them. The health benefits they offer are a nice perk as well!

Here is what I'm currently putting in my smoothies ( I do tend to change it up depending on how I feel).

1 Banana - High in B6, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and a good source of fibre.
1 Handful of Spinach - Really good source of vitamin C, K, B1, B2, B6 and K.  As well as really good sources of iron, folic acid, maganese and carotenes.
1 Handful of Kale - High in vitamins A, C, K and E. As well as a rich source of   calcium, iron and fibre. 
1 tablespoon of Flaxseed - Loaded with omega 3 essential fatty acids and       fibre.
100ml Almond Milk (this can be substituted with water) - High in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
100ml Water - you can vary how much water you put in depending on how thick you like your smoothies.
1/8 tsp Cinnamon 

Place everything into a blender and blend until smooth.

Mmmmmm, so yummy!
