Do you have a beauty routine that makes you feel good?
“I’ve worked for women’s media brands my entire career and have developed a serious love for the beauty world because I’ve been fortunate enough to understand the amount of effort and science that goes into producing beauty products that can truly enhance what nature has given us datum .
“I have a rigid beauty regimen where I always cleanse, use a serum and moisturize every morning and night no matter what, but I love trying new products and am always excited when a favorite brand releases a new innovation. Instant Glow Serum from Gold Collagen has become a permanent fixture. It provides an instant glow on-the-go, brightens my complexion and adds a dose of hydration. The powerful active ingredients vitamin E, vitamin C and niacinamide provide a triple antioxidant effect.
“I have been drinking Gold Collagen Forte Plus every day for the past six months. Packed with collagen, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, these miniature glass vials have been a game changer for me. My skin feels firmer and looks brighter, my hair is stronger and shinier, and it supports hormonal balance – which is increasingly important to me, and complements the HRT I’m also taking.
“The unique Gold Collagen formula uses the highest quality ingredients and is free of sugars, gluten, lactose and preservatives, and I promise it tastes great. Just one shot a day easily fits into my morning routine – I take it before breakfast and call it ‘Mommy’s Magic Bottle!’ I also take a magnesium and zinc supplement and find that it helps my sleep.”
Clinically tested with proprietary formulas, Gold Collagen has been the number one liquid beauty supplement in Boots since 2012 and the industry leader in strengthening hair, skin and nails. The products have garnered more than 8,500 4.5 star reviews online, with 50 million bottles sold worldwide.
Forte Plus is the strongest of the Gold Collagen formulas, aimed at people over the age of 40. It is enriched with arugula extract to support natural hair growth, vitamin C for immunity support and vitamin B1 for the healthy function of your heart , as well as biotin to help maintain your skin’s natural radiance and plumpness. Liquid supplements have also been proven to provide better absorption and results than their powder alternatives.
With a delicious peach and lychee flavor, drink one bottle a day on an empty stomach for best absorption, or with meals if you have a sensitive stomach. Expect visible results within three weeks of moisturizing the skin, six weeks for smooth skin or nine weeks for firmer skin.
If you’re looking for an extra hydration boost for your skin during the summer months and beyond, consider Hyaluronic Formula by Gold Collagen. Each tablet contains an optimal dose of Hyaluronic Acid, known for its unique ability to retain moisture and promote deeper hydration, as well as Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc and Marine Collagen.
When ingested, it will improve skin dryness and texture and plump up fine lines and wrinkles. The collagen peptides keep your complexion hydrated, soft and firm for a more youthful appearance. Take 1-2 tablets per day with food and use alongside any liquid Gold Collagen supplement for optimal results.
How does being in nature affect your well-being?
“Since I moved to the countryside two years ago, being out in nature has become an essential part of my life. Nature helps reset my mood when I’m worried about something and gives me a sense of calm at the start of the day. I try to go for at least 15 minutes of brisk walking or jogging every day, or 30 minutes three times a week, and the oxygen hit is like giving my brain a bubble bath!
How do you relax?
“I try to keep the weekends free for family time and a bright Sunday when we can get up late, have brunch in our pajamas and take a long walk followed by a local pub dinner; a perfect way to spend the day.
“During the week I wind down reading stories in bed with my two boys, then giggle on the WhatsApp thread with my oldest girlfriends before watching Succession with my husband, while I cuddled our kitten and older cat. Add a square of dark chocolate and a mug of mint tea and I’m happy! Home is where my heart is.”
How do you ensure a positive mindset?
“As a writer, I am an avid user of the Notes feature on my iPhone to jot down my thoughts and track my feelings. I have a document called “My Future” where I write down things that bring me joy and that I would like to welcome more into my life. I find it helpful to have a place I can turn to on days when I’m not feeling so positive because it’s an easy way to remember what’s important to me in life and what my purpose is.
“Practicing gratitude also keeps me in a positive mindset. Every night before I go to sleep and every morning before I get up, I think of three things I’m grateful for—generally, they’re small, simple things that we often take for granted. It helps me get in a good spot for the day ahead.”
What are your best tips for other working parents looking for a better sense of balance?
“Taking care of your own well-being is not vanity – it is common sense. You cannot pour from an empty cup and you will not be able to take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself.
“I know it can be hard to find time for yourself in our busy, always-on world, where we juggle so much, but when you prioritize yourself and do something you really love — whether that’s a binge of your favorite TV show, a long bath, or a night out with friends – just once a week, everyone around you will benefit, your body and mind will thank you too.”
