January Must Haves

Spatone
£6.95 from Boots, Holland & Barrett and Lloyds Pharmacies – If you often feel tired, lethargic, run down or find it hard to concentrate, it might not just be post-Christmas fatigue honey.  You may be suffering from an iron-deficiency which affects a whopping 1 in 5 women of reproductive age, particularly those who eat little or no meat, or have heavy periods. Ding ding, welcome Spatone. These darling sachets might be just the thing you need, without having to chow down on a whole cow! Slip it into some orange juice in the morning (the vitamin C helps your body to absorb the iron) and away you go!

The Yantra Mat
£39.90, from www.yantramat.co.uk Lemme hear ya say “Ooommm” Ok, you’re feeling stressed, you wanna kick some butt, you need a little release!! Cue The Yantra Mat. 20 minutes a day on this baby will have your health soaring through the roof! This new acupressure device rather like the ancient ‘bed of nails’…stick with us, they’re not actual nails, gently applies pressure over meridian lines in the body. Energy or ‘Qi’ may accumulate at ‘acupoints’ and this blockage may lead to health complaints. After regular use on this wonder mat you can expect to benefit from a restored sleep pattern, a reduction of stress levels and a boost in energy levels.

Nike+ SportBand
£40 from Nike – The Nike+ SportBand is the must-have running accessory that at a glance gives feedback on pace, distance, time and calories burnt. Recently updated, it now features a new shock absorbent design, a sharper, more defined screen and improved accuracy. Yeah baby, eat my running dust!! After a workout simply remove the USB connector and plug directly into a Mac or PC to automatically sync and store run data in a personal workout log on www.nikeplus.com. Join the online Nike+ community to review training process, evaluate goals and challenge other Nike+ runners to run faster or further. Pair it up with some Nike+ Trainers £65 and you’re good to go!

Crystal Clear Crystal Polish
£32 from www.crystalclear.co.uk Erm sorry to bring this up, but if your skin has been kinda flaky from the cold…YOU NEED THIS!! Made with crushed precious stones (we hope there are diamonds in there…) Crystal Clear Crystal Polish removes dead skin cells and allows the skin to absorb extra moisture. Whoopa!! This crystally stuff gently exfoliates with fine micro-crystals to leave skin super-smooth while an essential oil complex nourishes the skin to leave it youthful and supple.

Power Berry Range
From £14.50 from Neal’s Yard Remedies. You know how we feel about the antioxidant power of berries round here…every day, without fail, berries must be consumed!! However the fab team at Neal’s Yard have given us lashings of berry love to apply to our skin too! Their Power Berry range, a skincare collection filled with radiance-boosting berries. Oh yeah!!
