At this time of year I have a soup as my lunch when I’m working from home. I like soup for lunch because it’s tasty and warming, which is perfect when you need to keep going till tea time and you are trying to avoid putting the heating on for just one person. I find soup is easy to take into the office too as you can put it in a thermos or easily heat it up if you have a microwave to use.
I’m always on the look out for a new flavour to try, so that I can ring the changes and have plenty of variety. Drawing inspiration from every corner of the globe, Glorious! Soup packs bold flavours into every spoonful. I enjoy trying their soups as a way of making sure I regularly have a new flavour of soup to try and the street food range includes some of my favourites including Middle Eastern Spiced Tomato.
I’ve teamed up with Glorious! to offer a reader the chance to win the entire Glorious! Soup range. Fancy trying Glorious! Soup for yourself? To be in with a chance of winning the Glorious! Soup bundle enter via the Gleam widget below. The bundle includes:

We’ve all had that stiff, painful feeling after we have exercised hard or done something our bodies aren’t used to doing. Others suffer with aches and pains on a more regular, long term basis. If either apply to you, you’ve probably tried everything from hot baths to heat packs to get some relief. Pernaton Gel is a product made from green lipped mussel extract. Green-lipped mussel is a shellfish and it’s possible to extract a substance called perna from the shellfish. This is often used by those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or other connective tissue and joint issues. It is also used to help prevent sore muscles after exercise. It’s simple to use as you just apply the non-greasy gel direct to the problem area. It’s very quickly absorbed and has an instant cooling effect, which is followed by a warming sensation. Pernaton is manufactured in Switzerland using a special formula which also includes menthol, pine and other essential oils. The gel is non-greasy, absorbs immediately and has a fresh and pleasant aroma.

Veganuary continues to grow and more and more places are creating special menus now or at least including a few more options on their main menus this month. Where possible Bill’s always aim to make vegetables the star of the show when creating theirr dishes, so Veganuary seems a natural step for the restaurant chain. Whether you’re following a plant-based diet or are just looking to try something new, it’s worth taking a look at Bill’s Veganuary menu which is available until 31st January.
New to the Bill’s menu and only available during January are the very appetizing Miso Aubergine Fritters, served with a smoked chilli and soy dip and topped with sesame seeds. Jackfruit seems to be the salad ingredient of the moment and I fancy trying the Jackfruit Salad Bowl made with smoked chilli jackfruit with mixed grains and rice, edamame beans, red cabbage, toasted cashew nuts, lettuce, mint & lime soy yoghurt finished with a crispy rice cracker.
For a truly decadent choice, Bill’s have a vegan Sticky Toffee Pudding on offer, drizzled with syrup, icing sugar and hazelnut crumb, and served with a scoop of coconut ice cream. Or you could try their Amaretto Parfait which sounds like the perfect vegan treat.
It’s not spring yet, but after Christmas I do feel the urge to do some cleaning and not just the usual daily or weekly stuff, I’m talking about getting the house deep down clean. I think it’s partly because the home gets a lot of use over Christmas with plenty of visitors, but also because with the tree up, it’s not so easy to get into all the corners so they are in need of some attention. Maybe it’s something about New Year’s resolutions and the wish to do things better, like keeping your home clean and tidy. So I was glad to team up with ACE to offer my readers the chance to get a head start on their post Christmas cleaning this year or an early start to some spring cleaning. I can offer an ACE product bundle worth £20 each for two lucky readers.
The Vitamin C Skin Hydrating ProInfusion Serum is designed to hydrate, soothe and protect the skin from harmful free-radicals caused by chronic sun exposure. With a powerhouse of antioxidants the Vitamin C Skin Hydrating ProInfusion Serum provides a secondary line of protection against photodamage leaving the patients hydrated, glowing and protected. 
This is a facial you can have done in your lunch hour because it doesn’t take very long at all: less than half an hour. My skin looked healthy and glowing afterwards, so it would have been easy to go back to work afterwards. During the facial you’ll feel some pressure, but it’s far from uncomfortable. The exfoliation part of the process uses a real diamond tip to give an even exfoliation across your skin and to clear away the dry, damaged top layer. The patented closed-looped vacuum pressure is used to extract dirt, debris and bacteria from the skin’s surface.
Whilst I was slightly horrified by the amount of dead skin, dirt and grime collected by the end of my treatment, I was assured my skin was actually quite clear. The serum going in is clear in colour, so all the colour relates to impurities taken out of your skin. I had thought I was mostly over blackheads, but there were a few lurking in the clear jar at the end. A lot of the serum had been absorbed by my skin which was good news. I think my skin clearly needed a good drink.
