Tips for a healthy + beautiful long weekend ahead....

It's going to be a lovely long weekend ahead. Yay!


Whatever your plans are, there is always room to slot in something healthy + beautiful.

1. Drink your 8 glasses of water. Most of you may spend your weekend running about, shopping, visiting or even travelling and it's easy to forget to drink up. Our bodies need water to stay hydrated (think moist dewy gorgeous skin) and to perform basic bodily functions like getting rid of toxins. So carry a bottle of water with you and sip generously throughout the day.

2. Watch what you eat. Research have shown that people averagely consume 15% more calories on holidays and weekends. The more worrying fact is that these calories are typically from unhealthy and processed food, doing nothing for your body. Now you may have the answer why Monday feels so sluggish - that's because your body is working hard to rid itself of the unhealthy calorie overload during the weekend! What should you do? Be conscious of what you eat and if you must snack, go for fruits! You will benefit from the fiber and vitamins that comes along with it. The fact that it's yummy and refreshing is a perk ;)

3. Get moving! If you are the sort who loves to cuddle up with a book or catch up with your movies marathon-style, do make it a point to balance out your activities during the day. Curl up for half the day then spend an hour or two (in the cool evenings perhaps?) to get some exercise albeit a light one. Some great exercises that doesn't seem like exercise includes - walking your dog, enjoying an outdoor sunset (while walking of course) or simply just strolling around the garden. The fresh air will do you heaps of good.

4. Prioritise quality sleep. Weekends can be a jumble of activities and perhaps even parties. It's easy to think that "well, it's ok if I cut off a few hours of sleep, I'll try to make up for it soon". Unfortunately our bodies don't work that way! We need constant and daily quality bedtime. Try to keep late nights to a minimum and if needed, apply the Cinderella rule - call it a day at midnight. Your skin (and health) will thank you for it.


5. Take some time for yourself. Kids, family, pets, chores, friends, shopping sales... you name it, plenty are calling for your attention. While most try to pack everything they can into one weekend, it's equally as important to pack some "me time" into the equation. Go for a pampering spa (we recommend Organique Therapies for some organic pampering) or maybe just take some time off at home with a indulgent face mask (we love the Living Nature Hydrating Gel Mask). Or simply indulge in a rejuvenating hot soak in the tub or go get your hair done. Whatever tickles your fancy but do take some time off alone.


6. How about something good that feels good? Look out for community causes around your neighbourhood that you can contribute to. Maybe it's a recycling campaign, maybe it's a charitable home that needs volunteers for some simple home repairs, maybe it's your dear old neighboor who needs some help moving some plant pots. Whatever it is, if you are blessed with the resources and ability to contribute, it's a great thing if you do.

Whatever it is, enjoy your break ahead and hope you make it a healthy + beautiful one.

The products are sold as-is and are strictly not exchangeable/returnable.

We have, however, checked that all items are in usable condition.

Note that as with all natural products, formulations varies slightly from batch to batch in terms of texture, color and scents. What you find at the shop currently may be a different batch than what is available on promotion here so don't be surprised if they vary slightly.

Please read our terms and conditions here..

Shipping is FREE for purchases above RM150 (WM only). Otherwise, our shipping policy is on this page.

We're sorry, but for the SALE, we will not entertain "pick ups" from our outlets.

All purchases will be processed and sent from 30 June.

Join us in making a difference this Earth Day

Since the start of this year, we've had a few strong reminders about the powerful forces of nature. The images of destruction left behind by earthquakes were as tragic as they are scary. For me personally, it's a reminder that we cannot for one moment take the earth for granted. Our planet is alive. Our planet is powerful. Our planet is everything we depend on. Our planet is also limited.

So this year, in conjunction with Earth Day, we wanted to do something that will make a difference. Even if it's just a small difference. And we can with your participation.

We want to encourage YOU to Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. There are 3 parts to this:

1. Reuse : PRELOVED CHILDREN'S BOOKS & CLOTHES. 

If you have children, chances are you would have some clothes and books your child is no longer making use of.

Why not donate them and someone else in need will reuse them?

Bring any children/baby's clothes & books that are in usable condition to us. We will help you sort it out and pass it to people who need them and will reuse them.

2. Reduce : SHOPPING BAGS. 

When you are shopping, we would like you to think twice before taking a bag. While we don't use plastic bags at our outlets (we use paper bags if you need one), but every paper bag still require energy & resources to manufacture.

Why not bring your own reusable shopping bag?

For your convenience, we do provide paper bags when you shop with us but we'd much prefer not to. So say "no thanks to a paper bag" the next time you shop with us (and anywhere else really!)

3. Recycle : PLASTICS. 

On average, we use at least 5-6 personal care products every day, if not more. Think about it - shampoo, face wash, face moisturiser, body wash, lotions, etc. What do you usually do when you are done with the products and its packaging? Throwing them in the bin means they end up in a landfill. Unfortunately, most plastics cannot biodegrade without specific recycling processes. Even with the best of intention, many plastics are actually not recycleable (unfortunately).

Why not try and recycle what you can?

Not sure what you can or cannot recycle? Bring them to us and we will help you sort it out plus send them to a recycling facility. ps: do us a favor and kindly rinse the bottles first

So where can you do all this? We will be trying to raise awareness at a few locations. You can visit us at any of these locations:

• 20-24 April 2011 : Earth Day Carnival @ Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara, look for us at the Bodybar booth
• 29 April - 01 May 2011 : Twelve Bungalow, 12 Jalan Ampang Hilir *our new outlet in KL!*
• Or you could drop by any Bodybar outlets throughout the month of April

Just as a token for your effort, we are giving away RM5.00 vouchers per participation. You can spend it on our very green, very eco-friendly and good enough to eat skincare products ;)

(A little bit of trivia for you, almost all organic certification for skincare will mandate that packaging materials must be eco-friendly. Yet another great reason to choose organic skincare!)

I hope you will support our initiative + participate + visit + help us spread the word!

While we may not be able to change the world with this one initiative..... but..... a little effort from a lot of people makes a big difference !!

XOXO,

Michelle
