WE WENT: Manuka Lab M.O.T.
Healthy Living London recently attended the Manuka Lab M.O.T. event where we sampled their range of MGO Manuka honeys.

TRIED & TESTED // Shine Shampoo Bar
Shampoo bars have become the new ‘go to’ in the war on plastic waste and in all honesty I’ve always been dubious as to how well they work for your hair as well as the environment!

TRIED & TESTED // The Hydrafacial at the Bellecell Clinic
My skin frequently suffers from congestion, which I partly blame on living in polluted London. While clay masks are great for drawing out any impurities in my skin, I couldn’t help but feel that it was time for a much deeper cleanse.
