Product of the day!

My muscles are crying out for mercy!

Between that PowerPlate (more on that at a later date) and my over-stuffed pillows, my neck and shoulders are not a good place right now.

Now, I know this isn't a beauty bag secret in the same way that a great lipgloss is, but to be honest, I wouldn't be able to leave the house without a soak in Nelson's Arnicare at the moment!

It can be used as a bath or massage oil. Right now, it is being used as both by me, I am in that much need.

So what does it do? relaxes the muscles, soothes the pain and any bruising. It is cracking. It helps me unwind and get a good night's sleep too. So well worth a go.

Fabby not flabby, thighs!

It does rather seem that Summer might be over, but my holiday is about six weeks away and to be honest, I need a little help.

I know I will not look like Gisele overnight, but I want to look good in my swimmers.

So I have enrolled in a PowerPlate course.

For those of you that do not know, PowerPlate is an amazing machine available at some gyms around the country.

Basically you stand on a vibration plate and hold poses. Your poses improve your core, your posture and your muscle. It's like doing reps but without the strain and sweat - and for better results.

That's not to say it is easy-peasy, because it certainly is not. But, the results come quicker and are longer lasting.

Anyway, I will keep you posted with my progress.
