It’s Wednesday! Why the excitement? Because we’ve got another edition of our regular wellbeing picks for you – we’ve mixed it up this week with some face and hair pampering, two delicious and easy recipes, and the hidden superpowers of some foods – revealed! We love this week’s links and we hope you will too.
Until May 31st, we are giving away a $50 Echolife gift voucher with each purchase of the Kuvings Silent Juicer. It’s the perfect opportunity to get juicing, boost your health and wellbeing and enjoy some free shopping, on us!
Our Wellbeing Wednesday picks for this week are almost all about food.
We’ve got the perfect Autumn hot drink recipe, 12 very good reasons to eat quinoa, handy rules on adding supplements to your diet, a S.A.D. story about wrinkles, and the perfect skin pick-me-up in the form of a fruity face masque.

We love adding new products to our ever-growing online catalogue of natural health and natural beauty products. And we’re very taken with one of the newest additions to the Echolife website – the Kuvings Silent Juicer – so we thought we’d tell you a bit more about it.
Juicing is one of our favourite ways to get our daily dose of fresh fruit and veg – but goodness knows not all juicers are created equal. This applies to the resulting juice as well: a centrifugal juicer will give you ‘boundary’ juice that oxidises / loses nutrients and changes colour before your very eyes, whilst a cold-press masticating or slow juicer will give you a thicker juice, with plentiful nutrients intact.
The Kuvings is a proud member of the slow juicer family – and is so sturdy it is suitable for commercial use. And that’s only the beginning of what this amazing upright juicer can do.
It’s Wednesday! Which can only mean one thing: another instalment of freshly-served and note-worthy links that have grabbed our attention. This week’s Wellbeing links talk about decaf, the wonderful idea that is putting fruit on your face, the importance of maintaining a healthy gut, and the misguided focus we place on our weight and/or body shape. Read on!
Remember when we wrote about certain foods that can keep you hydrated? The list is here if you need to refresh your memory – have a look, we’ll wait.
Well, it also turns out food can have a different sort of impact on the eater: uplifting or lowering mood. We’re not talking about eating ice-cream to cheer yourself up (no matter how effective this is short-term!) – but how the actual nutrients or chemicals present in food affect the body and brain chemistry, for good or for bad.
If you’re eating a fair amount of mood lowering foods, you might like to substitute with better alternatives for a few weeks and see how you feel.
We’re back with a fresh edition of Wednesday links!
Today we’re pitting almond butter Vs. peanut, talking about skin care products’ expiration dates, reminding ourselves why our diet should include plenty of lemons, and getting smart about our beauty routine.
