Radiance Recommends - Sustainable Swaps

We all know the environment is at crisis point and we are all doing our best to do our bit for the planet. It’s all about small changes that will make the biggest difference. Here is our round-up of little changes that most of us can manage.

Reusable water bottle - With so many bottles on the market there are some really gorgeous ones to suit any aesthetic. We love this one from Smartech. Yes, it’s expensive but does your bottle self clean?? Plus think how much you are saving on bottled water.  

Bags for produce - We never gave much thought to those wafer-thin plastic bags we all use in supermarkets weekly. It doesn’t take much to keep these in your usual shopping bag and empty into containers when you get home. We like these organic, cotton, washable bags from Turtle Bags.

Lunch box - Stylish comes easy with our favorite lunch boxes from Black and Blum. They create products we love to use, are proud to own and are built to last.

Refill your own produce - Join the zero waster shopping revolution! With over 450 locations across the UK Source Bulk Foods is an easy, accessible and gorgeous way to stock up on your organic wholefoods, cooking oils, healthy snacks and sustainable personal and household products. A must visit.

Deodorant - Spray deodorants are not only bad for you but they are bad for the environment too! Unfortunately, many of the eco-friendly options are not so effective in the smell department. Don’t worry though, we have done our research so you don’t have to! Malin + Goetz is our favourite and Space NK has a convenient travel-sized option that lasts for ages.

Coffee Cups - if you are taking your oat milk flat white to go then why not simply bring your own cup? We love this really stylish, lightweight one from Huskee made from recycled coffee grounds. Many cafes give you a discount if you bring your own cup so it's good for your wallet and your planet.

 


The Winter Cleanse is back

It is that time of year again! The Christmas Party invitations are flooding in, New Year’s Eve is looming and we are desperately trying to avoid the office lurgy. Cleansing this time of year has immense benefits. It keeps you bright-eyed bushy-tailed, looking and feeling great all party season long and really helps strengthen your immune system. 

However, admittedly, 3 days of cold juices is rather less appealing now it's hit the minus’s degrees outside and we would ideally like to exist on a diet of just Yorkshire pudding but it’s arguably more beneficial now than ever. 

Enter the WINTER CLEANSE. The Winter Cleanse is our seasonal adaptation of our ever-popular Signature Cleanse but with some hero swaps to keep you going. Cleansing can inevitably make you feel a little cold so enter Lemon Ginger Tonic. It’s a more concentrated version of our Ginger Lemonade that you can dilute with hot water and drink as a hot toddy throughout the day. 

Finally, the jewel in the crown of the Winter Cleanse is the Spiced Cashew Milk. It is a take on our classic Cashew Milk but with Vanilla, Black pepper, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Cloves. It is like Christmas in a bottle. Top Tip: warm on the hob for a creamy, delicious, warming chai to get you through the day! Can we have 2 a day?

Baby, it's cold outside but inside we are warming our tummies!
