Is it possible to make a green smoothie that actually tastes good? 🤔

January is usually when everyone reaches for green powders and for good reason.

They are full of iron, magnesium and antioxidants and can give you that fresh, energised feeling.

The downside is the taste… most are pretty unpleasant.

One I genuinely love is the Terranova Life Drink and it actually does taste good!

It has concentrated greens, red berries, digestive enzymes, gut-friendly bacteria and protein, which makes it much smoother and easier to drink.

My favourite way to use it is in a quick breakfast smoothie…

🍓 Berries
🥛 Almond milk
🥄 A scoop of Terranova
🥬 A handful of spinach - barely noticeable in taste
🍌 Banana - helps sweeten and balance the flavour

Top with a bit of granola if you like some crunch and you are sorted.

Thank you for the recipe! ✨

I know this might not be a popular opinion, but January is one of my favourite months of the year.

January feels like no pressure. The diary is lighter, plans are fewer, and there’s space for proper rest and recovery. Blank days feel like a gift, after the crazy days of December.

It’s also a break from alcohol and late nights. Christmas was full of fun and memories, but January brings the joy of early mornings, waking up refreshed, clear-headed, and revitalised. Morning yoga practice is the perfect way to rebalance and refill my cup.

There’s time to organise and plan. i’m a natural sorter, but when life gets busy, things get messy fast. January invites calm, tidiness, and gentle structure again.

Then there are the cold country walks and warm drinks.
Winter walks in nature are the best medicine,
restoring energy, calming the mind, and bringing slowness.

And finally… books, films, and comfy clothes.
January evenings are made for the sofa. Christmas books waiting to be read, cosy layers on, nowhere else to be.

January for me is about resetting, quietly, intentionally, and at my own pace.

Struggling with hair loss? Let’s talk about what really helps.

First, it’s important to understand why. Low iron or ferritin, thyroid issues, hormones, or even stress can all play a part. That’s why at Amaranth we offer a hair loss screen to get to the root cause.

Some of my go-to supports are:

Collagen - provides amino acids for strength and structure

Viridian Ultimate Beauty, Hair, Skin & Nails - packed with iron and hair-supporting nutrients

Hair Savior - brilliant if hormones are playing a role (think perimenopause or PCOS)

Weleda Rosemary Hair Tonic - stimulates the scalp and supports follicles

Biotin - for stronger keratin and healthier hair
And don’t forget - plenty of protein in your diet makes all the difference.

If hair loss is affecting you, we offer a free 15-minute health review to help work out the best support for your needs.

When should you take magnesium? 🤔

It really depends on the type and what you want it to support.

Some forms are better for calming and sleep, while others are ideal for energy and daytime support. There are also great all-round options that can be taken morning and evening to top up your levels.

It’s all about choosing the right magnesium for your goal.

If you are running round like a mad thing today, here is your permission to breathe.

The pressure for a perfect Christmas is real but an imperfect Christmas can be so much more fun.

If it all feels a bit too much, take a pause, enjoy a festive candle and enjoy the cosy nights.

You will be so much more productive tomorrow and you deserve to enjoy Christmas too 🎄
