Julie and Liz discussed these benefits, and Julie also talked about her new […]
TRIED & TESTED: Teapigs cold brew tea
Cold tea? Sounds unappealing right? Think again. Teapigs, the purveyor of high-quality teas, has released two new flavours of cold brew tea that you can steep in cold water for a refreshing summery drink. The flavours are rose & lychee and apple & cucumber. I was sceptical as I’m not a huge fan of herbal […]
TRIED & TESTED // Three Spirit, “a new natural alternative to booze”
Three Spirit describes itself as ‘the world’s first social elixir, a new, natural alternative to booze’. There’s a new wave of social drinkers, and they’re not relying on alcohol to make connections. But does this alcohol-free spirit have the same ‘kick’? It’s obvious that there has been a gradual but marked shift in our culture […]
TRIED & TESTED // We are Tea
A cup of tea makes everything better right? I will admit I do love a cup of tea – so much so that when my brother asked what I would like for my birthday one year I asked for a tea caddy for all my special teas (don’t judge me). So it’s always exciting to […]
TRIED & TESTED: Lyons Coffee Bags
How do you like your morning brew? When it comes to coffee, we enjoy it filtered, instant, dripped and pressed but have you ever had it from a bag? Neither had we, until we tried Lyons coffee bags. 55 million cups of coffee are drunk every single day in the UK*. That’s a lot of […]

We were welcomed to the spa and treated to a relaxing massage which was just lovely. After this, we headed to the relaxation room where tea and light snacks […]

As well as these new non-alcoholic cocktails, Caffè Nero have redesigned their menu to include better quality ingredients throughout; fresher, locally sourced (where available) and a reduction in sugar, all without compromising on taste. Going […]
TRIED & TESTED: Nama Artisan Raw Foods Restaurant
Making raw food taste good is considered an art, after all being unable to heat food immediately means that chefs have to be creative with how they put dishes together. However, Nama has made a name for itself with its range of nutritious drinks, snacks and generous but beautiful plates of raw food. We visited for […]
TRIED & TESTED: For Goodness Shakes Protein Water
For Goodness Shakes Protein Water is a new ready-to-drink, low calorie, high protein soft drink, containing 20g of Whey Protein Isolate per bottle. I don’t know about you, but when anyone talks about protein drinks, a gloopy, milky and usually chocolatey milkshake type drink is what springs to mind. Often thick, loaded with sugar […]
TRIED & TESTED: Bulletproof Coffee
Londoners are gradually developing a more refined coffee palate and antipodean barristas can be found brewing V60s and flat whites at every turn. The health and fitness world has always had a mixed view of coffee, however – with some eschewing caffeine entirely and others swearing by coffee as a healthy and tasty way to […]
