Your post-party recovery guide!
Because feasts do happen, drinks are poured, and life must continue! Whatever your post-party problem, we have you covered…
PROBLEM 1: YOU’RE DRY MOUTHED & FOGGY BRAINED.
Alcohol and salty snacks have seriously zapped you of fluids. Grab a jug and fill it with chilled, filtered water, a few slices of each lemon and lime, a sprig of fresh mint and 1 serving of our Baobab powder. Give it a stir and get sipping.
The Baobab’s Vitamin E will help protect your cells from some of the blowout damage while the potassium content will help soften any hangover symptoms. Seriously suffering? Add a little pinch of Himalayan Salt to boost your recovery.
PROBLEM 2: THE PARTIES ARE OVER, BUT YOUR SLEEP’S ALL OUT OF WHACK.
Get some complex carbs and magnesium on your plate! Complex carbs help to keep blood sugar levels steady (spikes and plummets can cause sleep disruptions, and consuming too few carbs may trigger bouts of insomnia).
Make some Maca Chia Overnight Oats for breakfast, and/or snack on our Rooibos Matcha Cookies. You can ever sip some Hot Mulberry Cacao Milk…though go easy on the maple syrup. We’re trying to balance your blood sugar, after all!
PROBLEM 3: YOUR CRAVINGS ARE OUT OF CONTROL.
Don’t reach for the takeaway menu. You need to get real with yourself, and when we say ‘real’ we mean real food. Opt for hearty home cooking that will keep your waistline where you want it!
Our Chestnut & Black Soybean Bolognese is a guilt-free winner.
PROBLEM 4: THE FUN IS DONE & WINTER BLUES ARE CREEPING IN.
You may be one of the 70% of people struggling with a lack of Vitamin D – largely due to a lack of sunlight. It’s pretty hard to get your fill from these short days, but you can eat your way back to vitality.
Just 1 daily teaspoon of our Mushroom Superfood Powder (specially grown under UV light) delivers your RDA.
PROBLEM 5: YOU WANT TO GET YOUR SPARKLE BACK.
It’s true, we all want to look our best for the ball, but we’re doing everything that works against this! Rich food, lots of booze, little sleep…
Thank goodness for Aguaje, which contains the phytoestrogens we need to enhance skin, body and hair! There’s beta carotene for a natural glow, damage-fighting tocopherols, and hydrating oleic acid.
PROBLEM 6: YOU NEED A FAST-FIX FOR THE NEXT PARTY. TONIGHT!
Tonight you say? Well, that’s easy: start running a warm bath, pumping ten spritzes of Baobab Body Oil under the tap. Soak for 20 minutes. Wash, pat dry, and reapply a light layer of body oil.
The intense hydration will give an immediate lift to thirsty skin.
PROBLEM 7: PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE ABOVE..!
Well, that’s OK, you can mix and match over the coming days. Follow our philosophy of ‘one good thing‘, and focus on making the small changes that matter to you most.
Whatever you’re facing, remember to rest and go easy on yourself – treat yourself as you would a friend. And finally, as soon as you feel up to it, do some yoga! We’re all for Fightmaster Yoga’s ‘Yoga for New Years (Detox)‘.
