We got her to share Five Things she is loving right now;

6am runs and walks

I am loving 6am runs/walks, I never used to be the type to wake up early, to work out for that matter. However, I recently incorporated early morning workouts into my routine, and they have been so amazing. Not only do they help me set the tone for my day, I get to work on my fitness goals, as well as clear my head and enjoy fresh air. I’ll recommend waking up earlier, that is a game-changer.

Greenlys and Co Hibiscus Tea

I have always been a tea drinker, so being part of a brand that makes wholesome, healthy teas was a no-brainer. I particularly love to drink hibiscus tea, also known as Zobo, because of all the amazing health benefits. When I am bloated, I brew a teabag, when I feel like I need to lose a bit of weight, I brew a teabag. It helps me detox, and Hibiscus is known to improve high blood pressure, so I am getting an array of benefits from one single cup. I have gotten a few of my friends hooked on the tea and they all love it. I drink tea first thing when I wake up and after my last meal of the day. Yaay to health and wellness, I’m loving it.

Tinted Lip Balms

Thanks to the dry weather and how drying it is to our lips, I have had to take the bull by the horns when it comes to my lips. I am loving Woolzies tinted lip balms. I get to moisturise my lips whilst adding lush colour to them. If you know me, you know I love to kill two birds with one product, so here you go.

Rbrth Essentials Body Candles

As queen of multi-functional products, I am absolutely loving the Rbrth Essentials scented body candles. It’s a brand I co-own and I love it so much because it’s the first of its kind that I have ever tried. The candles come in 3 different scents, one of which doubles as an insect repellent scented candle and body oil. With these candles, I get to introduce lovely smells into my space and pamper my skin or that of my partner with the warm oil that is melted from the burning candle. If you are like me and you love quality products, or you like to get your money’s worth when you purchase products, these body candles are worth a try.

Le Labo Rose 31

This has kind of become my favourite scent. It’s musky, floral and so me. I love how you can personalize the labels and have your name on it. The bottle is cute, and the scent makes you smell delicious. I am definitely loving it right now; I don’t know about tomorrow however, because I love to layer my scents and switch things up regularly.
