Changes To Our Deliveries

by Olivia Cartwright, , link

 

In September last year our evening couriers increased the delivery charges by 50%. We understood that many clients used this service so we were very keen to continue without passing on any additional costs to our clients.

We have reviewed the past 8 months since the increase, and for a number of reasons we have made the decision to only offer premium morning delivery slots. These will continue to be complimentary, and you won’t be charged for delivery. 

Our last evening delivery service will be Monday 30th May. After which deliveries will be Monday to Friday between 7:30am - 10:30am with DPD.

Our team tracks the deliveries in the morning so we can keep you up to date. Plus you will receive notifications from DPD.

If waiting for a delivery in the morning isn't practical, and you'd like to start your cleanse the day after delivery, this is fine as the juices have a four day shelf life.

Five day cleanses will still be split in two deliveries, meaning you can also start the day after delivery.

We are happy to help you schedule your cleanse to make it as convenient as possible with the delivery options available. Please email info@radiancecleanse.com if you'd like any assistance. 

Thank you for your continued support and understanding, it is much appreciated.

Very best wishes,

The Radiance Team


National Vegetarian Week top picks

by Olivia Cartwright, , link

In support of National Vegetarian week we are shining the light on some of favourite vegetarian and vegan products both in and out of the kitchen! 

A vegan wine - who knew wine wasn’t vegetarian? We were surprised to learn that of the animal products used in wine include eggs and a protein called casein, which is derived from fish bladder. We like Solara Orange Cramele Reca, it’s a super trendy orange wine. According to red magazine, "The colour orange is said to be associated with joy and happiness, which is exactly what you’ll feel when drinking this".

Ilia beauty products - Often in the search to live a sustainable and eco friendly life we have to make some compromises especially in the beauty category. Not any more! Introducing one of our favourite beauty finds to date: Ilia. Ilia stands up against and trumps some of the larger name brands and is sustainable, vegan, responsible & eco-friendly. We urge you to try their Super serum skin tint and its SPF 30.

Let's not forget the animal products we wear daily! Veja trainers have changed the game when it comes to luxury casual footwear. Veja has ben fighting the good fight since its launch in 2005. Made with innovative materials such as recycled polyester, organic cotton canvas or C.W.L, corn upcycling you can look great and feel good in your Veja’s. 

Esse Skincare is our top tip for all things skincare and their entire range is vegan friendly and cruelty free. We have partnered with them for our Natural Beauty cleanse as we love their products so much.  The cleanser is a joy to use and their serums are amazing.
