Oh my, Mio! Liquid Yoga bath soak review

Bath time is never a particularly relaxing experience for me as the bath is usually shared with my 3 year old, Hello Kitty bubbles, and a bucket load of toys.

Last Monday I took my chance to have some me time. It was a public holiday (bless those) and when got back from my Adventure Boot Camp session at 06:40, everyone was still fast asleep. It was also the perfect time to try out Mio’s Liquid Yoga Bath Soak. ABC was particularly hard core that morning and my muscles were already starting to get a little stiff (ABC works you hard!). Liquid Yoga is accompanied by little booklet with a couple of lovely yoga stretches and since I had the time, I made good use of the instructions before I got into the bath.

‘Relax and calm your busy mind; ease hard-working muscles and restore your body with our perfect milky-moisturising blend of essential oils, mineral salts and therapeutic herbs.’
‘Relax and calm your busy mind; ease hard-working muscles and restore your body with our perfect milky-moisturising blend of essential oils, mineral salts and therapeutic herbs.’

Liquid Yoga is heaven in a bottle.

It contains ingredients like Epsom salts and Arnica to relieve aches and pains, Murumuru butter to moisturise and V-Tonic™ (a blend of spearmint, cypress, lavender, mandarin and chamomile essential oils) that works like a bomb to relax and calm body and mind.

I felt so good after that soak. The scent is amazing and my skin felt soft and moisturised. I felt wide awake and relaxed the rest of the day. This is love people.

Mio warns: may cause relaxation and happiness.

Liquid Yoga is the perfect way to unwind after a workout or a hectic week. Bonus: it contains no nasties.

The Liquid Yoga Restorative Bath Soak retails for R550 for 200ml. Click HERE to find a stockist.

Slimming with Thalgo

A couple of weeks ago I received two slimming products from Thalgo.

The first one I tried was Océa Draine.

‘Encourages elimination of toxins and waste products, regulates function of the gallbladder, diuretic aids in digestion. Ideal for those who wish to start a slimming diet or cleanse their body because of dietary excesses or a change of season.’
‘Encourages elimination of toxins and waste products, regulates function of the gallbladder, diuretic aids in digestion. Ideal for those who wish to start a slimming diet or cleanse their body because of dietary excesses or a change of season.’

Océa Draine contains natural ingredients like focus brown algae, fennel and artichoke extracts that aid the body in draining and eliminating toxins.

I didn’t go on a full-on detox as I started using this product on the day that I started Adventure Boot Camp (if I did, I probably would have died! Unfit much?). The packaging of the product is gorgeous as the drink comes in 10 glass vials that are already measured for you. It has a fresh taste that is not at all unpleasant. I like that I didn’t feel tired or drained while using the product (as I mentioned I just started ABC). The biggest change was to my skin. I didn’t appreciate it at first as I had a lot of tiny bumps that appeared on my jawline. I guess it shows that my body was getting rid of toxins? Luckily they didn’t hang around too long, Afterwards my skin looked clear and healthy.

After finishing the Océa Draine, I tried out Slim 7:

'A 7-day express treatment to boost weight loss. Thalgo Slim 7 Slimming Drink provides a high concentration of plant and algae extracts in a red fruit flavor drink.'
‘A 7-day express treatment to boost weight loss. Thalgo Slim 7 Slimming Drink provides a high concentration of plant and algae extracts in a red fruit flavor drink.’

This drink contains a whole lot of natural ingredients to aid weight loss efforts. Think  fucus brown algae, guarana and green tea. And it has a lovely berry taste. This drink definitely gave me a lekker boost of energy.

I diluted both of these drinks in my water bottle I took along when training. It tasted lovely and I felt good while using them. I am impressed with the quality of Thalgo and look forward to trying more from their line.
