Soup ensures you have a wholesome and nutritious meal in the middle of the day. Taking small steps like this help you to both look and feel great.
Do your shopping at the beginning of the week- If you are organised and do your grocery shopping at the beginning of the week, it’s much easier plan your daily meals. You can make a hot meal the night before and bring it to work for lunch. Stocks of healthy snacks are replenished so you avoid running to the corner shop on your lunch break and grabbing something quick and easy, which often ends up to be a calorific snack such as a sausage roll or convenient deli meal.
Pamper preparation – Beauty routines don’t always have to include expensive trips to the salon. Whipping up a homemade face mask is actually very easy, two bananas can be mashed up and applied to the face delivering super soft and moisturised skin.

Keeping a bottle of water beside your desk is important so you can take sips throughout the day which will ensure you reach the recommended two litres a day.
