As the heat begins to descend upon us again this week in the West, it seems like the perfect time to start thinking about the numerous ways to keep cool.

Here are a few of my tips, though with my un-airconditioned apartment and ghostly pallor I am certainly on the look out for more:

♥ PILLOWCASES IN THE FREEZER. Unfortunately it only lasts super, super briefly, but it can be a welcome few minutes reprieve.
♥ Staying hydrated. This is a biggie. Your body needs HEAPZ more water in summer. Give it what it wants.
♥ Iced green tea with lemon. Nuff said! There are some pretty snazzy T2 iced tea jugs which I think will be making their way into my already overcrowded fridge this summer.
♥ Fresh chopped fruit, chilled in the fridge for a bit.
♥ FACE MISTS! (once again, chilled in the fridge for bonus cooling points)

Our good friends over at Echolife have just come out with a fancy new range of cooling face mists, which have the added bonus of being either rejuvenating (rose), purifying (tea tree – great for problem skin), clarifying (witch hazel – an excellent toner) or calming (lavender – good for general relaxing + blemishes).

Spray throughout the day to keep cool, or onto freshly cleansed skin to get the extra benefits of the natural ingredients.

This cool feeling could be yours! 😉

We have three Echolife Facial Mists to give away, one Tea Tree, Witch Hazel & Lavender.

To win, simply let us know what your favourite thing about summer is, and which one you’d love to win! (Tip: You can click through the links above to find a more in-depth list of the benefits of each one)

Winners will be drawn on 1st December, the first day of summer, so get cracking!

So much love to everyone!

Be well,

Annette

Fundraiser for the Sarah Gapp Cause.
This world record attempt is aimed to raise $30,000 for a young victim of severe stroke.

This is a highly worthy event and we will be attending! I hope as many of you as possible can make it down, take part in a fun pilates class, help break a world record and raise money to help Sarah on her recovery! x

Sarah before and after her tragic stroke.

Brisbane Law Student, Sarah Gapp, had a severe stroke in her brainstem only weeks after her 21st birthday. She had to have 60% of her cerebellum removed and was left with a condition called Locked in Syndrome, a tragic condition that leaves her perfectly aware mind unable to communicate with her body.

Only 1 in 100,000 people ever come out of locked in syndrome. Sarah’s will and determination has seen her defy the odds and regain some speech and movement.
With little support from the medical system Sarah desperately needs funds to learn to swallow and to walk, two things we take for granted every day.

Help LIVe Pilates raise $30,000 for Sarah by joining us from 9am-12pm to break the largest pilates class world record on the 23rd October. Be part of a community bringing hope to a true Aussie battler.
100% of funds raised go to helping Sarah.

Former Perth Lord Mayor and current Perth Councillor Candidate, Chas Hopkins, supports the Sarah Gapp Cause and community fitness. Mr Hopkins will be officially opening the event and will present the Perth community’s fundraising efforts to Sarah on the day.

For more details phone 9367 4299

Register today and be one of 1000 participants to break the current official world record of 862 for the world’s largest pilates class.

Register at http://www.livepilates.com.au/community/. Every participant receives a Gift Bag on the day!

Will you be making your way down this Sunday?

Be well,

Annette

Nestled between an organic pizza shop (!!!) and a yoga school, Being She is a cute little beauty & gift salon on St Brigids Ave in Scarborough. I headed down there on a gentle spring day to take part in an exciting sounding treatment called the “Wildflower Holistic Facial“, which seemed like the perfect way to coax my skin away from winter dullness and transplant it firmly in the new season.

On the drive out to Scarborough I found myself noticing plenty of little flowers growing by the side of the road, which I thought was a good sign (even if they were just weedy dandelions, they were still pretty!)

Being She uses the Heritage Healers range exclusively. If you haven’t come across it before you’re in for a treat, organic and holistic wildflower essences which work inside and out to balance the skin and and promote wellbeing – Bliss!

The experience begins with a quiz to find out your ‘persona‘ (you can take the test online, here) which will determine some of the products used, as well as flower essence drops placed under the tongue at various points throughout the facial to help balance you internally!

I was a water babe, so took a mixture of Goddess Grasstree, Macrozamia and Purple Nymph Waterlily. The combination of these three essences helps to overcome vulnerability and sensitivity, balances out male and female energies, stimulates nurturing and caring qualities and overcomes emotional dependency. Sounds good!

Throughout the next hour my face was cleansed, moisturised, exfoliated, massaged, masqued, hot toweled and my arms massaged. What a wonderful day to spend a spring saturday morning!

I found this video on the Heritage Healers website which takes you through exactly what happens during the Wildflower Holistic Facial, handy!

I believe the true test of character of a good facial is how your skin looks the next day, and I’m happy to report that upon first morning peer into the mirror my skin looked clearer and the few pimples on my chin had gone down about 50% in size!

This facial won me over.

BeingShe also have a range of other interesting treatments, such as oxygen facials, Divine Goddess Facial (!!), Chakra Energy balancing & threading, among much more!
