All about Living Clean & Being Healthy

[Ad-gifted] As January comes to a close, this gives us time to reflect on the month and to see if we have kept to all the resolutions and goals we set ourselves at the start of the month. If you have not, don’t worry, just stay focused, keep trying and persevering and you will reach your goal!

For those who have decided to get more healthy and living a cleaner life, we have four great brands to share with you in your our January guide starting with Healthy Air Fryer Feasts Cookbook by Christina Kynigos which shares over 80 mouth-watering healthy recipes. We also showcase another non-alcoholic spirit from CleanCo, this time it is Clean T which is made to be mixed just as you would in a classic Margarita.

Next, for those into using clean and sustainable products, the Gold & Juniper with Black Watch by Votch makes a fabulous gift for yourself or a loved one. Finally, the Advanced Age Defying Skincare Duo Gift Set from Oscar Charles helps to restore and create a youthful appearance and protect the skin from sun damage whilst staying true to its nature of being sustainable and natural.

Clean T Non-Alcoholic Spirit Alternative from CleanCo

If you having been practising Dry January, here is another non-alcoholic alternative drink to add to your list which is a sugar-free alternative to Margarita. The Clean T from CleanCo is made to be mixed just as you would in a classic Margarita. Crafted by CleanCo‘s award-winning team of flavour experts, using only the highest-quality ingredients sourced from around the world.

The drink delivers delicious notes of Green Agave, Olive, Sweet Melon, Black Pepper and Cedarwood for a cooling finish. Perfect for an alcohol-free margarita that lets you delight in the night, and still welcome the next day whilst staying sober!

We have previously featured Clean R (Rum), Clean W (Whisky) and Clean G (Gin) Rhubarb and loved their flavours so have decided to showcase their next award winning drink, the Clean T.

The brand was created by Spencer Matthews, a TV personality most famous for Made in Chelsea. He decided to go clean in 2019 and developed CleanCo which allows you to still have a drink as you would if you were drinking alcohol. The drinks are made to be 1-1 replacements of traditional spirits.

This Vegan, Lactose Free and Gluten Free drink, comes in an attractive 70cl bottle and is priced at £16. This makes such a thoughtful Valentine’s or Birthday gift for someone who has cut down their alcohol intake or watching their sugar intake.

Healthy Air Fryer Feasts Cookbook by Christina Kynigos

New Year, New You..if this is your motto for the year then I hope you have started January by planning more walks, signing up to Slimming Wold, joining the gym as well as eating more healthily. 

To help continue your journey for the rest of the year, we are showcasing a fabulous cookbook called Healthy Air Fryer Feasts by Christina Kynigos.  This cookbook features over 80 mouth-watering recipes that are not only under 600 calories but also high in protein and ready in 30 minutes or less!

Perfect for those wanting to take their air-fryer to the next level, these recipes will inspire you to get an air-fryer if you have not purchased one. Recipes in the book include crispy chicken sandwiches with homemade baconnaise, Hot honey halloumi with roasted vegetable couscous and Harissa-spiced beef kofta with minted chickpea salad. Christina also uses a lot of whey  protein powder in her recipes

The book also helps you explore and learn to use the air fryer more if you only currently use it to make roasts, chips, toasties and fried chicken.  Using the air fryer also means that you will be saving time and money in the long run, and cleaning the air fryer is a lot easier than cleaning the oven.  The Healthy Air Fryer Feasts is available as a hardcover book for £20 or ebook for £12.99 from Harper Collins.

Gold & Juniper with Black Watch by Votch

Looking to support a brand that is sustainable, gives back, offers cruelty-free alternative to traditional leather and promises that a percentage of their profits is given to different charities that support animals? Then look no further, as we feature Votch, a British brand founded by Laura Way, a female animal rights advocate which sells watches bags, belts and other accessories.

Let’s look at their Gold & Juniper with Black Watch which is a classic petite timepiece fitted with a highly durable quick release strap. Priced at £120, the watch makes a stunning gift idea as it comes in a beautiful box wrapped in black tissue and placed in a black pouch ready for gifting in person or via post in the UK or anywhere in the world. The gold and black watch with brushed gold indexes and hands is so versatile and stylish that you can wear this in the day or for a night out. I love also love the Juniper coloured strap and how it feels on the skin and how well it fits on my small wrists.

Votch is suitable for those with a wrist circumference of 15 to 21cm and gives you the option to purchase replaceable strap separately based on the type of watch you own. So you can choose to change the Juniper coloured strap to tan, slate grey, sky blue, rose gold/silver mesh, sage, ruby red, black, navy, linen, light grey, flamingo or burnt orange. These straps are 3ATM waterproof and fitted with quick release pins so they are easily interchangable and work with most watch brands and smart watches too if you are just looking to purchase their straps. Votch also sell straps to fit your Applewatch made from AppleSkin, a bio-based material produced from the apple juice industry which is transformed to a durable leather alternative.
