WATER - TOP TIP FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN Two thirds of the body is composed of water. Adults can survive without food for many weeks but only a few days without water. Water is our most important nutrient and yet very often it's importance is forgotten or overlooked. We often convince ourselves that we're drinking plenty because we had five cups of tea or coffee at work; but actually all caffeinated drinks are diuretics and will require you drink even more water to replace the fluid excreted. Drinking water is a top beauty tip for several reasons . *It flushes out toxins (which can make the skin look tired and blemished) and leave it looking fresh and dewy. *It re hydrates the skin giving it greater elasticity. *It prevents constipation which can cause that pimply appearance under the surface of the skin. *It creates fluid balance in the body which gives us more energy so we are more likely to get out and exercise and keep fit and healthy. It's recommended that we drink eight glasses of water a day. I know how difficult that can be but I have found that filling a nice jug with water, adding slices of lemon and lime and placing it somewhere where you will see it throughout the day to remind you and entice you to rehydrate. DAILY FACIAL RITUALS My tip for external hydration of the skin is a cleanse, tone, moisturise ritual performed twice a day morning and evening.I know it can be tempting if you're tired to skip the evening part but the evening ritual is all important as the skin must be cleansed of the days grime and re hydrated and moisturised as you sleep. Flourish produce a cleanser toner and moisturiser which are naturally scented with plant and flower essence. These essential oils are not only beneficial to the skin but have a relaxing and balancing effect on the body generally. when I cleanse I like to take a couple of deep breaths just to inhale the therapeutic effects of the oils. The toner is made form organic rose water and flower essence of Mula Mula flower and Sheoak both help to sooth and hydrate the skin, so although it's great for your facial ritual it's also a great pick me up to carry in your bag and spritz when flagging during the day and great when on long flights. Vitamin E face cream will then seal in the moisture and protect the skin throughout the day or for those with sensitive skin I'd recommend the Hemp and Macadamia face cream.

SPRING CLEAN
Spring has sprung, the Daffodils are in full bloom and the lambs are jumping for joy in the fields. This is such an energising time of year.As nature begins to wake up and unfurl so too do we and with the extra daylight we become more active.This is a great time of the year to do a cleanse both inside and out. The months of being cooped up in doors and eating heavier foods can lead to an accumulation of toxins in the body. This cleanse can be as simple as drinking more water, cutting down on caffeinated drinks. Eating more fresh fruit and making one of your meals a fresh salad. You'd be amazed the difference just these small changes can make to your sense of well being.
For the external cleanse an exfoliant will remove dead skin cells and leave your skin looking fresh and renewed.Flourish Organics make a body scrub with apricot kernels to exfoliate and the essential oils of Grapefruit, lime and lemongrass support the body during detox and are uplifting and refreshing perfect for a spring morning shower.
During these spring months I will continue to post beauty tips and healthy eating ideas and recipies to help support and inspire you to stay healthy and beautiful as we head towards summer.

I ran a Meditation course this weekend with a lovely group of people; some from Dublin and Limerick. I was talking about how important it is to have the support of like minded people to keep up the motivation. For people in Kerry I have decided to start a drop in evening meditation group and for those further afield I have decided to use my Blog as a form of support. If you have any Questions, comments or observation about your meditation practice go to the blog on www.flourishorganics.com and we can start a little on line meditation group.
