The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is in SA!! And I want one so badly.

The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is here!

Before we chat about the awesome functionality of this device, can we please take a moment to appreciate its utter gorgeousness! I mean wow. The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is totally stunning and does not look like a fitness tracker at all. To be honest, I would feel like a bit of a fool wearing your typical fitness tracker – I only picture super fit and slender people sporting those. But BellaBeat Leaf looks like jewellery. A beautiful piece of jewellery that comes in two designs (BellaBeat Leaf and Leaf Urban) and various colours.

But what makes this tracker truly amazing is the fact that it’s not just a fitness tracker. Nope. This device is a health tracker that allows for an holistic approach to keeping tabs on your health.

Leaf is a health tracker that tracks your activity, hydration levels, sleep patterns and your period! AND it can even predict stress and offers guided meditation.

The benefits that this device offers is SO much more than your average tracker:

ACTIVITY TRACKING: Track your steps taken, active minutes and calories burned.

SLEEP MONITORING: Monitor the duration and the quality of your sleep.

SMART ALARMS: Wake up each morning with a vibrating alarm, and stay active by setting an inactivity alert.

GUIDED MEDITATION : Discover relaxing meditation exercises that help you unwind.

STRESS PREDICTION : Learn how your lifestyle habits affect your stress sensitivity.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH: Get an overview of your monthly cycles and fertile days.

NO CHARGING: Leaf runs on a 6-month replaceable battery (coin battery).

VERSATILITY: Wear as a necklace, bracelet or a clip.

WIRELESS SYNCING: Sync wirelessly to your Leaf app. All the information syncs with the app by just tapping your Leaf – so no cables for charging or syncing.

I think everything you’ve read so far explains exactly why I want a Leaf. The benefits and features are amazing. And those of you who are familiar with my weight loss story know my struggles. But it isn’t just about losing weight anymore. It’s about my health. I want to be here for many years to come and I would love to have a Leaf help me focus more on my health and getting my butt into shape.

The Leaf retails for R2599 to R3249.

The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is as beautiful on the outside as it is smart on the inside.

Happy shopping!

Mixa hit our shores recently and the beauty blogging community was super excited. In all honesty, I had no idea what they were on about. I have never heard of this brand before, but when I hear words like ‘sensitive skin’ and ‘affordable’, I’m all ears.

I was super curious to find out who and what Mixa is and why there is so much hype around this brand. I found this lovely story on their website:

At the beginning of the 1920s, in the outskirts of Paris, in Boulogne, a young and innovative French pharmacist by the name Dr Roger opened his very own pharmacy. A traditional apothecary, his expertise and passion was mixing active ingredients to create ointments that would help soothe a number of skin irritations.

At the time, Boulogne was known as the centre of Parisian launderettes – all the laundry of the wealthy Parisians was hand-washed here by young women, who were among the very first generation of working women in France.

The never-ending routine of washing stripped the natural beauty of their hands, leaving behind dry, cracked, fragile skin. They came into Dr. Roger’s pharmacy, hoping for a soothing ointment that could help.

Dr. Roger used his expertise of mixing active ingredients and prepared a caring ointment for severely dry, rough hands. He used a special mixing technique in his laboratory to blend cream with traditional apothecary ingredients. This special mixing technique then gave the brand its centennial name: Mixa.

Soon, Dr. Roger’s hand ointment became famous and Mixa laboratories went into large-scale production.

Since then, Mixa has kept innovating and providing specialist solutions for sensitive skin to accompany women and their families in their active lives, with effective, skin-respectingproducts, in textures that are pleasurable to use.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? And it is.

Mixa The Sensitive Skin Expert is here!

Enriched with Oat Milk, the hypoallergenic Soothing body lotion immediately leaves skin feeling nourished and soothed, while respecting dry & sensitive skin.

Enriched with Coriander Oil, the beautifully light & silky, fast-absorbing Anti-Dryness body lotion leaves dry skin feeling nourished, supple, comfortable & soft without a greasy sensation.

The Restoring body lotion is enriched with Allantoin and immediately moisturizes dry skin leaving it feeling intensely repaired and soothed. Ultra-light, fast absorbing & non greasy formulation.

All Mixa lotions are paraben free and dermatologically tested for dry and sensitive skin. I have been using all 3 and I honestly can’t choose a favourite. I didn’t expect lotions that moisturise and nourish so well, to be so lightweight. Plus they don’t irritate my eczema-prone skin. The lotions come in handy 250ml (R46) and 400ml (R59) pump bottles.

The Mixa Cica Repair Balm is a thick Panthenol enriched balm that moisturises, soothes & protects. It contains no parabens or fragrance and it’s hypoallergenic. It can be used by the whole family. This balm is an absolute winner and a must-have during winter. It reinforces skin barrier function and relieves skin discomfort. It feels incredibly soothing. Cica Creme retails for R80 for 50ml.

I am really impressed with Mixa – products you can trust at a great price. What more can one ask for?

Mixa is available on Takealot.com and, as far as I know, at Pick ‘n Pay stores. Keep an eye out!
