Reviewed: Collagen Peptides Protein From Naked Nutrition
Menopause, and peri-menopause rate up there as the worst time in a woman’s life. The physical changes to the body are debilitating, and are matched by the changes we suddenly have to cope with due to changes in our appearance. I’m currently in the peri-menopause, and have found my skin is as oily and spotty as your average teenager, my hair, never the thickness, is now as thin as it has ever been, and my nails are brittle and just break so easily.

Making Pampering Plans For November
Another month has almost finished, as the year continues to fly by. October has been great fun, but November is always one of my favourite months of the year, as the countdown to Christmas truly begins. Christmas lights are switched on, Christmas markets arrive in town and everywhere has a very festive feel, which is perfect if, like me, you think it is the most wonderful time of the year. But Christmas can also be the a really stressful time, when the preparations and excitement can actually take a real toll, especially if you have young children with excitement levels at boiling point. So, November could be a time when…
