It would seem that plant-based diets are the way to go when it comes to not only our health, but keeping the environment safe as well. Many people will be taking part in ‘Veganuary’, and while this might feel like a gimmick, for many of us it could become a way of life.

We have had a look at some of the ways you can try out veganism so that you don’t fall at the first hurdle and head for the nearest burger bar.

Be prepared
As with all things new, do a little research and prepare yourself. It’s a good idea to look at the kind of foods that will nourish you and do a little bit of a restock of your cupboards if you need to. Read books, visit websites, call on bloggers, go to your local health food shop and supermarkets to get a feel for the land. Also decide if you are going all out – are you doing without leather shoes, wool clothes and everyday products that have animal products in them, there’s a lot to think about, so work out what is best for you.

Keep it simple
When people try a vegan diet, many overcomplicate things. Yes, there are fancy, expensive vegan meat, cheese, and milk alternatives are all out there for the taking, but you don’t have to go out and spend a fortune on all of them. Don’t fall into the trap of cooking tricky, time-consuming vegan foods, instead, keep your meals simple and focus on plenty of vegetables, grains, protein, fruits, nuts, and seeds. A spicy chickpea curry, delicious stir fry, mushroom risotto and wholesome stew full of woody veg are all easy to cook and will give you a blast of natural goodness.

Think about snacks
Let’s face it, plant foods are often lower in calories than animal products, so you need to make sure you’re fuelling your body – the idea isn’t to starve yourself, but to look after yourself! Healthy snacks like fresh and dried fruits as well as nuts and seeds are great so keep them handy. You can also have cereal with nut milk, smoothies packed with fruit and veg, rice cakes with almond butter and chopped banana and get in the kitchen and make pecan and raison cookies or homemade flapjacks.

Read the labels
You might think that a product is vegan friendly, but always read labels just to check animal facts or derivatives aren’t hiding in there. Many companies adding “suitable for vegans” and the Vegan trademark is the international standard for vegan product labelling, so keep an eye out for that.

Watch the vitamins
When you start to eat different foods and give up others, you need to make sure that your body has a full range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, or you could come unstuck. It should be that you are increasing the natural goodness in your body, but if you are worried that you aren’t getting the levels of nutrition you need, add a good quality supplement and again, this is where your local health food shop will come into play.

Good luck and remember to enjoy it, it’s a new way of eating and something to embrace and benefit from.

Elemis-Pro-Radiance-Illuminating-Eye-Balm

We use our eyes from the moment we wake up, to the second we fall asleep, so it is no wonder that the skin around them can become tired, dull and dehydrated. The skin around the eyes is also some of the thinnest on your body, which means it is little wonder it is the first place stress and ageing are seen.

At Pure Beauty we sell some fantastic products that have been specifically designed to ensure eyes look, and feel, great.

Today we are sharing some of our favourites with you, and hope there will be something that takes your fancy.

We love the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm which is perfect when it comes to easing those visible lines around the eyes. Seaweed Extract, Vitamins A, C and E, as well as healing Organic Silicones, accelerate repair, strengthen elasticity and improve smoothness around the eyes, for a more youthful, healthy look. For the very best results, pat a little Dermalogica MAP-15 Regenerator around the eye area first, then use the Power Firm product and watch the years drift away.

The Decleor Hydra Floral Everfresh Hydrating Wide-Open Eye Gel, is a lightweight, anti-ageing formula which can be used twice daily around the eyes and eyebrows. Packed with Cornflower Floral Water and antioxidant Baikal Skullcap Root Extract, dark circles are minimised, puffiness is eased, and fine lines are smoothed. This gentle formula creates a protective barrier and helps to create a brighter, healthier complexion.

For something special, we think the Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Eye Balm hits the spot. This illuminating, moisturising eye balm, brightens and refreshes tired eyes and really brings them to life. Chamomile and Arnica have been blended with Bird of Paradise Flower and together, with optical blurring powders, dark circles are minimised and health is radiated. Apricot Kernel Oil nourishes the super-delicate eye contour area, and when used on a regular basis you will really start to see a marked difference in your skin.

Jan Marini is a relatively new brand to the site, and we are already in love with their Transformation Eye Cream. If you really need some help to visibly improve the texture and restore the hydration around your eyes, this product is for you. TGF β-1, Epidermal Growth Factor, Thymosin β-4, Anti-Aging Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid have been mixed together to create a product which helps heal and repair sad skin which needs a little love.

Back to Dermalogica, and we have to mention the five-star Dermalogica UltraSmoothing Eye Serum. We adore this product because it gently treats signs of ageing around the eyes without triggering the sensitivity or irritation issues which can happen when using highly active eye treatments. Natural Algae and Golden Chamomile deal with puffiness, Oat Kernel Extract helps soothe fragile skin, and Hyaluronic Acid makes sure the eye area is hydrated so those fine lines are kept at bay.

For information, or samples, get in touch and we would love to help you find products that are right for your eyes.
