Do Vitamins actually work?

After a recent trip to the doctors for a general check-up I was told that I should probably start taking some multivitamins and supplement support. My schedule is jam packed and I work myself pretty hard, I love to train and I usually start work early and end late so often I am up super early in order to fit some sort of movement or exercise into my day. This means I get little sleep and sometimes I feel absolutely exhausted!I also had a pretty bad fall over christmas and have been left with scars on both of my knees and my shoulder so the GP advise me to get some Zinc and vitamins A,C and E. This would help with the recovery and healing of the scars.

Recently signing on as an Grand Prix Swisse ambassador, I decided to try the Swisse ultiboost Hair Skin and Nails Liquid. It appealed to me because the liquid formula is easy to take, I can easily add it to my water or juice and the research behind all of the Swisse range is second to none. I trialled it for 3 weeks just to see if I noticed a difference. Usually the difference is subtle and its benefits are only noticeable over an extended period of time, however I was very impressed with the results. I noticed my nails grew quicker…I usually get a  mani every 2 weeks but my nails are growing so fast I had to get them re painted just 5 days later! Impressive right?

I’ve attached a link to the website so if you want to read up more on the product and how it all works then you can :)

TOP 5 Hair Curling Tips:

1. Apply a heat protectant spray before you use your heated tongs, curlers or GHD.

This will help maintain a healthy head of hair, it will also help prevent split ends.

2. When you remove your hot rollers or unravel your hair from the tongs don’t touch it or brush it out (Until it cools) !

You need to allow your hair to cool before you brush your curls out. Letting your hair cool down before you style it will give it the chance to set and your hair will have more chance of staying in place and won’t drop as fast!

3. Always brush or separate your curls!

There is nothing worse than ringlets. I always brush my curls out to get a ‘softer’ look. If you don’t want to do that then run your fingers lightly through your hair and flip your head back and forwards once or twice.

4. Don’t apply too much hairspray or product.

I usually apply hairspray to my brush and lightly brush down any fly-aways I have. To extend this I apply my hairspray on my hands or finger tips and lightly run it through my hair to get the ends. You don’t want your hair to be stiff. 

5. Use Moroccan Oil

To finish your look off and for ultimate shine rub some moroccan oil into your hands and lightly run through your locks. Smells delicious and will leave your hair looking shiny and healthy!!

Hi Jesinta, your blog is so inspirational, your words are uplifing & they have made me feel better about myslelf. I cut out the Body&Soul article yesterday about your lifestyle & health & I'm planning on sticking it up somewhere because it encourages & inspires me. Lately I have been trying to eat healthy & I have been exercising everyday. I'm almost 18, 166cm and 60kg and I would like to get to 55kg, but my unhealhty snacking & self control are letting me down, would you have any advice? Xx

Hi!

Great to hear that you are exercising everyday, you’ll feel great and will start to notice the difference in your energy levels :) In regards to your snacking make sure you are nibbling on healthy treats and make sure they are on hand. Fruit, nuts, seeds, vegie sticks and hommus etc. Also make sure you are eating enough protein with your main meals, this will help make you feel fuller for longer and sometimes you won’t even feel the need to snack :) Hope this helps!
