cheers

to the f As we approach the end of 2020 many are excited, some are sceptical, but everyone is reflecting.

This year has been a tough one; from the start of the year we’ve experienced hurdle after hurdle, starting with the pandemic and ending with uncertainty and concern.

However, we can all agree on one thing - this year has been one of growth, learning and self-development. We’ve all learned to slow down; to take time for us and our families, to reconnect with ourselves and our surroundings.

TEAM CHRISTMAS LETTER

festive season

We’ve become more aware, thoughtful and considerate towards others. We began expressing more gratitude towards the things that were taken for granted - like seeing our loved ones, taking a trip abroad or going out to town for a drink with our friends.

Although 2020 hasn't been easy on us, we are approaching the new year stronger, more experienced and twice as ready to succeed. This festive period, instead of dwelling on the negatives, try to appreciate all the greatness this year has brought and really indulge in the gratitude of being a part of the collective growth of our society.

We wish you all a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

We will see you on the other side!

The United British Expats Team x Abdelhadi Rhiti Paula Rapsiewicz

Also, we ask you to take a break this Christmas and instead of stressing about gifts and dinners, just take the time to really enjoy the downtime; whether alone or with family.

Lets’ normalise making Christmas a time to chill rather than another reason to stress. uBe-3

WORLD NEWS

the pandemic message I feel like this pandemic is the Universe sending us a very direct message when we've been ignoring the signs for far too long. It goes something like this: "Whoa! Stop! Just slow down a damn minute and take a look around you.”

"Look at what you're doing to Mother Earth. All of these emissions are destroying your planet, your environment, your home.”

"Look at what you're doing to your relationships with the people who matter most. Your children feel alone, desperate for your attention, but you're too busy working to spend quality time with them. Slow down. Listen to their needs. Spend a few hours playing games, watching a good movie together as a family, talking face to face instead of through a device, learning together. Can't you see they're suffering from anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders because they aren't getting enough of what they truly need - your love and attention? Your time? Your nurturing?”

"Look how the elders are being treated. Your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, sacrificed so much for you. At a time in their lives when they should be cared for with love and respect, they're being neglected.”

"Look at your world leaders. Who are the ones handling this pandemic well, the ones putting the health and well-being of their citizens ahead of their own political aspirations and gains, the ones succeeding at saving lives? Can you not see what they have in common? What the world needs now is to be nurtured. She needs the gentle guidance of a matriarchal society.”

"Look at the number of women, children, people of colour, and LGBTQ+ people suffering from violence and abuse while certain world leaders attempt to take away the rights and freedoms that have been so hard-fought for. What gives any person the right to judge another? What gives any person the right to treat another poorly because they are not the same? God, the Universe, or whoever you believe to be your higher power, loves all of their children, loves their differences and uniqueness. How could anyone ever believe that the creator would create a child they didn't love?”

"Look at the number of homeless, the number of hungry, the number living in poverty while the greedy hoard their wealth.”

"A global pandemic may seem harsh, but it got your attention.

Listen to what it is teaching you and, for goodness sake, when it's all over, don't continue to repeat the same mistakes. Make the changes necessary for the survival of the human race. You are global citizens. One people. One race. Come together. Don't forget what's truly important. Be kind to yourselves, your loved ones, your fellow humans, and your planet. Nurture one another. Stop pointing fingers and placing blame and do the right things. Listen to your intuition, your gut. You know the right things."

COVER STORY

The end of I don’t know what it is like where you are in the world, but in Central London shops are becoming an endangered species.

ShopS?

Hardly a day passes without another shop window being covered by an advertisement proclaiming - ‘An exciting retail opportunity’. Surely, they mean ‘Another exciting retail opportunity’ because in my neighbourhood they are legion.

And I suspect that this is only the beginning. Let’s suspend disbelief for a moment and pretend that your dream is to open an upmarket fashion boutique selling many of the top designers. Let’s also assume that you have the investment funds and sufficient access to the top names to make such a venture credible.

You find a great site – one of those exciting retail opportunities – and head to Milan and Paris as a bona fide buyer. You worry about being able to get a seat at the shows or an appointment at the showrooms, but it turns out that your fears are misplaced. The fashion world has been waiting for your initiative and is fulsome in its praise for your ingenuity, good taste, and superlative business acumen.

After a whirlwind fortnight, you return to your place of residency with the very best that Paris and Milan can offer, secure in the knowledge that once the clients see what you have, the queue outside your shop will rival Waitrose on a bank holiday weekend.

Let’s make one final assumption, let’s assume the boutique is a great success, you sell all the stock, and you can’t wait to count the money and buy next season’s clothes. Unfortunately, however, you were operating under the illusion that you were the sole shareholder. Nothing could be further from the truth.

You have a number of preferred shareholders who would like to get paid before you take any money out of the business.

The government, as ever, is first in the queue looking for VAT, social security payments, and corporation tax. Next is the landlord, who is anxious to uBe-5

COVER STORY participate in your success, has decided to increase the rent. After the landlord, comes the local council and the dreaded business rates, not to mention your employees all of whom believe themselves to be wholly responsible for the store’s success.

The reality, of course, is that no boutique ever sells all its stock which means that you need to discount it in the hope of being able to get your money back. Unfortunately, the brand that sold you the duds has also been left with the same items and is dumping them online at a price below what you paid for them. The brand doesn’t care because it will still make a margin. You, on the other hand, care a lot.

Now let’s look at the scenario when very little of your stock sells and you have to write it off.

You haven’t been able to sell it which means that you don’t have the funds to buy next season’s collections unless you put money into the business. Nobody else is going to help you – not the landlord, not the government, not the council or your employees. They all expect to get paid whether or not you sell a single item. Unfortunately, you own the downside and yet they get to participate in the upside.

The advent of Covid has simply accelerated a shift from physical retailing which was already well underway and which will have big implications for the fashion business.

The harsh truth is that nobody who is already exposed to the ‘preferred’ creditors listed above wants to increase their risk by buying and holding inventory. Department store after department store has gone bust and the remaining stores want only to offer brands concessions where the brand pays rent or a percentage of revenues for a piece of the shop floor.

But this doesn’t solve the problem for the major brands. They are losing buyers at a rate of knots which means that the brands need to take more inventory risk themselves. Logically, the houses have only two options: either they cut back the size of the collections and hold fewer items in inventory or they embrace Industry 4.0 and find a way of manufacturing items in response to consumer orders. After all, if I can specify what I want and buy a car online, and Zara can re-order and manufacture fast-selling items in a few days, why can’t the major brands manufacture to order? https://www.lunadecasanova.com Written by Luna de Casanova uBe-6

Give Up?

or GeT Up? We all know that life can be tough at times; and 2020 has certainly been one of those years where everyone, no matter which corner of the globe you’re in, has gone through their own tough moments.

As expats this is especially the case; this year has meant that many of us are isolated from our family, such as ageing parents who may be unwell. For some, this year has meant long separations from our spouse. And many of us are facing a Christmas where we can’t be with those with love. It’s not easy, but let’s face it life is rarely easy. It can be tough, really tough.

Have you thought about how you respond to tough moments? Do you give up? Or do you get up? Do you allow all uBe-8

the craziness to overcome you? Or do you decide that you will learn from this and do it differently next year?

If you’re reading this, then I don’t think you are the type of person who would give up. I think you are the type of person who will get up. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. And you can learn a lot from what’s happened over the past months, and you can use it. Think of it as your new superpower… toughness!

You can’t learn toughness from someone else. You can’t read a book or take a course. This is something that you have to experience - yourself, personally. So let’s think of 2020 as a thorough lesson in toughness.

Make the decision now to get up and use your new superpower! The biggest question is what will you do with

your new superpower? Have you thought about what you want to do in 2021? How could you use your toughness to achieve what you want in your life?

Yes, this has a lot to do with your mindset. How you choose to think about things impacts your ability to live your best life.

So what does that mean in reality? It means that the knocks life gives us don’t actually knock us down, that we can pull ourselves up and take the next step and the next and the one after that and we can keep going.

It also creates a wonderful opportunity to carve out our own path, to decide how we are going to live our lives going forward. Not giving up, but getting up and making it happen for ourselves.

You CAN make a difference in your own life. You CAN change the direction you are going. You CAN have more of what you want in your life.

Perhaps you’re not sure where to start and you just need a guiding hand? I have a free resource that might help you, download it at www.expatparentingabroad.com/gift.

What I really want for you, is to finish 2020 with a different mindset. A mindset of getting up and being tough! 2021 will thank you for it :-)

freshly inspired I often find myself rating places based on whether they seem like a “good place to write”.

Some people choose cosy home offices or transform their garden sheds into dreamy dens to unleash their creativity. Others prefer to work on the move, some from bed, some just in their head never actually putting pen to paper.

green city with its numerous parks carefully tended and saved from scorching by generous sprinkler systems. And the Guadarrama mountains have become my substitute for the ocean, because as long as I can see beyond the city rooftops, I am happy.

My natural habitat (and all-round happy place) is by the coast. I grew up in south west Scotland, spoiled for views, and would rate any beach, bay or cliff top overlooking the sea as a “good writing spot”, presuming the words would just flow.

But just how influential is our environment to spark creativity?

Because in March this year, Spain entered one of the strictest lockdowns in Europe. And suddenly confined within four walls, I was more inspired than I had been in my life…

The opportunity had finally arisen to launch a life-long dream of writing that was always going to be set in motion “one day”.

Waves crashing, or water as still as a sheet of glass, for me there is no better place to spend the hours, feeling grounded. Like the desert or the mountains too, it is from landscapes that make us feel small, from something that is bigger than any of us, that we find ourselves inspired.

But since moving to Madrid, I have never lived so inland! I am quite literally in the beating heart of Spain, 360km from the coast (fun fact: the furthest spot from the coast in the UK is 113km). But once I accepted that the beach was out of reach, I began to appreciate different things.

Now, I see any green space as beautiful, and this is a surprisingly uBe-10

Unable to get out there and continue experiencing the Spain I was just getting to know, I sought inspiration elsewhere. And I found it - from my memories of the short time I had spent here. From exploring this captivating country by high speed train, passing remote fincas and acres of olive groves and vines stretching as far as the eye could see, to waking up every day to the sun blazing in dazzlingly blue and cloudless skies, and from the intense thunderstorms that followed.

More than these romanticised memories though, I found it from my experiences, of the culture, the

FEATURE language (and from a fruity and frequent glass of Rioja). And I started to write.

The idea of theming my blog ‘Lemoní’ on my language learning journey was my way of documenting the highs and lows of starting a new life abroad, sharing the successes and outpouring the language struggles I faced on a daily basis. From doctors’ visits to dance classes and everything inbetween, these seemingly simple interactions not only challenged me, but gave me something great to write about.

And from the comfort of my own home I continued to write and write.

But there is a certain vulnerability in writing - you expose yourself in a different way, and unlike posting sunny snaps on Instagram, I was determined for my words to be unfiltered.

So, shielded behind my citrus-themed pseudonym but overwhelmed with encouragement and words of support, I published my musings and misfortunes (garnished with humour) to put a smile on the faces of family and friends.

And from the comfort of my own home I continued to write and write.

I realised that maybe where you write isn’t so important after all, but instead, where you let your mind go. This year has taught me that.

One day, I’ll be back in my favourite spot looking out to the unpredictable Atlantic, inhaling the salty air (while dusting sand from the keys of my laptop), and I will soon discover how easily the words flow…

But for now, I will continue stumbling and striving through these encounters in Español (at least now I can blame the mascarilla for my mispronunciations) because every experience is one to appreciate and learn from.

And caught up in the fierce passion of this country, I will keep pursuing my own. I will let the sun go to my head and feel the fire in my heart because inspiration is all around us, you just have to open your mind to it.

how To: noT LoSe YoUr

2020 has been a highly unsettling year for us all.

If you have been overwhelmed by it all and feel in danger of losing your mind, read on...

The constant changes taking place in 2020, uprooting us from our workplaces, sending us into isolation, releasing us and then sending us back again, have impacted us all. Now we are facing the seasonal changes in the northern hemisphere, reducing light levels and the winter weather as well.

This is the season to restore ourselves, nurture the self, copy the natural world as it retreats and conserves energy.

Hibernation and wintering are natural responses to the time of year which allow us to slow down and regenerate.

It is important not to fight this natural desire to slow down, but to find a way to incorporate it into our busy, stressful lives.

Mindfulness is a way of slowing down time, to be able to calm the overwhelming feelings that fill our minds and to focus on our own needs. The techniques and attitudes of mindfulness are based on the actions of self-awareness and meditation, they do not require any special equipment and can be carried out anywhere. uBe-12

The science of mindfulness is well researched and recognised. Evidence has shown that if you meditate for seventeen minutes a day, for eight weeks, you will have recognisable health benefits, including lowering of cortisol and stress reactors. The best news is that those seventeen minutes do not have to be consecutive, you can take your mindful moments in short bursts, and the time will accumulate.

So how can we bring this restorative approach into our lives and prepare ourselves for the struggle through the long winter season?

Let's discover how not to lose your mind - by becoming aware of the moments that make up our days, and relishing them as experiences to enrich our lives. Count up the minutes.

Begin simply; When you wake in the morning, either to an alarm or naturally, allow yourself a moment of awareness.

Feel the warmth of your bed, the realisation that a new day

Mind

has begun. Stretch and feel the movement of your body, be aware of yourself and focus for a moment on your breathing.

Do not try to change anything, just become aware of the natural pattern of your breath, in and out, take the opportunity to take two or three deep breaths. Allow your mind to simply reflect on the pattern of your breath and then take your first movement into your day.

Two MinUTeS of awareneSS aS YoU wake.

Get up and go about your normal routines - shower, wash, brush your teeth, those intimate moments of personal hygiene and care. Allow yourself to focus on those actions - notice the feeling of the water on your skin as you wash or shower.

Notice the temperature, the textures of your skin and hair, the feeling of the towel as you dry yourself. Practice bringing your mind away from the thoughts of your future, your past, your worries and stresses, and just experience the actions of selfcare, the scents and tastes, even for a few moments.

Recognise that these are moments of looking after yourself, caring for yourself, actions that support and nourish you.

five MinUTeS of awareneSS of YoUr perSonaL care.

Continue with your daily routines. If you have breakfast, or just a drink, or grab something as you dash from the house to the train or car, don't make any judgements about your use of time. If you are now working from home, prepare as you normally do, and set yourself into your daily activities. If you are responsible for others, children, partners, parents, family responsibilities, pets - carry out your usual regimes. But consider, are there any possibilities of a moment, just a moment, to stop thinking about others and the jobs and the rush, to pause and take stock? No, then on we go.

Most people will find a moment in their morning to refresh themselves with food or drink. Allow yourself to take that moment as an opportunity to focus on the action of preparing and consuming that refreshment. Maybe you boil a kettle to make a hot drink, perhaps you simply stand in front of a vending machine and select something. Use that space to allow your mind to empty and just focus on your breath.

aware of the feel of your breath in and out, take a couple of deep breaths, then let your breath return to its natural rhythm, and observe that pattern. Then turn your attention to the action of making your drink or snack. Notice your posture, observe how you are standing, be aware of your surroundings, the sights, sounds and smells.

MinUTeS of SeLf-care and SeLf conSideraTion.

Count them up - 2 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 4. That's seventeen minutes.

How not to lose your mind? Concentrate your mind on the little things, just a few each day and make it a regular routine.

Recognise those little things as self-care and support of your needs. That is mindfulness.

So many things rolling around in your mind, can't concentrate or focus, underlying feelings of anxiety? Sound familiar?

You're not crazy, nor are you alone. You deserve a break!

Talk to us at The Aware Mind about how a mindfulness course can help you to re-focus on the things that matter and provide coping strategies for when the world just gets too much. Have a free, no obligation conversation with Helen, our Mindfulness Teacher, to see what we can do to help you.

from the uk to the uae:

a Black British expat Journey

I was born and raised in South East London to Ghanaian parents; I’ve always been very aware of my culture and identity.

I remember Multicultural Days in primary school where my teachers looked forward to me turning up in traditional Ghanaian attire with a container full of Jollof Rice. uBe-15

FEATURE

My best friend, Suki, would come donned in a sari holding her mum’s cooking. I’d notice how everyone else brought crisps, cocktail sausages and jam tarts and I’d feel embarrassed and even ashamed of my African heritage. These multicultural days were meant to celebrate culture but I couldn’t help but feel alienated; back then, it wasn’t cool to be African.

This primary school was the same one which, although a C of E school itself, took us on trips to the local Synagogue, Mosque, Gurdwara and Hindu Temple. They constantly looked for opportunities to introduce us to the different ways people lived in London. I didn’t know it then but I think this is where my love for learning about other cultures stemmed from. And as I grew older, I met more and more people who were different to me and I saw such beauty in it.

At age 18, I did what many Londoners don’t feel the need to: I moved out. I chose to study in Nottingham, a city largely different to where I grew up. I had visited once before deciding to move there but had no idea what it was like to live in the East Midlands. I remember being shocked by people queuing up for the bus and almost jumped out of my skin uBe-16

when a complete stranger greeted me in the morning on my way to campus! In London, if you are not miserable on your way to work, you’re not considered human. In Nottingham, I realised that I could not only survive outside the Concrete Jungle but that life could actually be lived better elsewhere. If life was more slow-paced in Nottingham and our money stretched further (because we weren’t paying the price of a mortgage to travel on the Underground), then what would life be like outside the UK altogether?

My husband and I decided to stay in Nottingham after we graduated and both wanted to teach. English. In secondary schools. I took a PGCE and he followed the Teach First route a year later, but by 2014 we were both qualified English teachers employed in inner-city schools in Nottingham. We loved our jobs and adored our children. But we despised all the red tape and the way in which education was being used for political agendas in the UK. I personally felt many of the governmental decisions regarding education made it almost impossible to stay. When my husband was headhunted by a recruitment company, we became open to the possibility of moving overseas.

In the UAE, it’s my British passport which gives me the privileges I’m afforded; you can hear in my accent that I’m a Londoner and I know I’m treated better because of it. My African counterparts don’t receive that same treatment.

In May 2016, my husband accepted a job offer in Abu Dhabi and by mid-August we had relocated. Neither of us had ever been to the Middle East before; you could imagine our surprise when our plane landed at 7.30pm and it was 37°C outside! Walking five minutes up the street would leave sweat patches under our arms and we began to wonder if we had made a (fatal) mistake – I personally thought I’d die from heat stroke!

Adjusting to the weather was not the only thing we had to get used to. My husband had secured the job but I hadn’t, which meant I was stuck at home unemployed. I was told I wouldn’t be able to get a job as an English teacher because my undergraduate degree was in Psychology, not English like my husband’s. Although rules and regulations have the tendency to change spontaneously here (which is the main reason why my husband took the job in the first place), I found myself without a full-time job for four years. This is unheard of for a Londoner but is compounded by the fact that I am Black too. I often joke that in London, even our side hustles have side hustles. We love to work. Black children are always taught that ‘we have to work twice as hard to get half as far’ so me

being jobless for so long was a knock to my confidence and identity all at once. However, we turned out to be better financially on one salary in Abu Dhabi than two teacher salaries back home in Nottingham, UK. Interesting.

Many people move to the UAE because of its attractive taxfree salary. Did you know that local Emirati people approximately make up only 10% of the population and the rest are foreigners? Because I came here from England, my standard of living is one of the best among the population of expats. Where I live now is completely different to where I grew up in London. In the UAE, it’s my British passport which gives me the privileges I’m afforded; you can hear in my accent that I’m a Londoner and I know I’m treated better because of it. My African counterparts don’t receive that same treatment.

Interestingly, in the UK, I am always confronted with the fact that I am originally from Africa even though I’ve never lived there. I’m an expat in the UAE because I’m British but a ‘daughter of immigrants’ at home in the UK because I’m Black. I don’t think you can live anywhere in the world without comparing your new place to your home country uBe-17

FEATURE

and although I love my upbringing, it has become increasingly more difficult to ignore the topic of race in the UK. I refer to myself as a ‘Black British Expat’ because its somewhat of an oxymoron. Black people who travel around the world are often called ‘immigrants’ rather than ‘expats.’ I get to be an expat solely because I’m British. But ‘Black British’ is a relatively new phenomenon. It’s a subculture which is becoming more mainstream as we are start to take up space and make our voices more heard. Out here in the UAE, I have come into contact with Black Arabs, Black Africans, Black Caribbeans, Black Americans and Black Brits and we all share a common and global ‘Black Experience.’

Some may call it ‘The Wakandan Experience’ where we are taking back control of our own narratives.

Out of all these cultures, a Black Briton is the newest; we only really settled in the UK during the 1950s with the migration of the Windrush Generation. Being Black and British now means we have a beautiful mélange of cultures: African, Caribbean and English. We’re the generation who grew up on Jollof Rice and Jerk Chicken but with Apple Crumble and custard for dessert. What a blend! We are also the people who are privileged enough to travel and reside in other countries but even still, our experiences can be very different from our White British counterparts. We may all be British but we have to be aware of racism and colourism in other countries as this can determine how we will be treated. This is something many White British people do not have to think about. uBe-18

As a Black British Expat and Travel Blogger, my main aim is to use my culture as a lens through which I share my experiences. I create content which appeals to all aspects of my identity. Because I am an educator, I remain in tune with the news back home, such as the British government’s vote to stop children receiving free school meals during a global pandemic. Because I am a child of the African diaspora, I stand in solidarity with the SARS protesters in Nigeria and the countless atrocities which plague African nations today.

Because I am Black (regardless of the country), I use my platform to shed light on the Black life and how some circumstances prove that others don’t agree that it matters.

Being Black and British is all these things.

So where is my journey now leading? As a Black British person, I feel it is my duty to add to the archives for those who come after me. I’m a sacrificial lamb when I travel as I can give advice to others on how Black people are perceived in other countries – not everywhere is welcoming or safe for us. There may not be many ‘Black Expats’, ‘British Expats’ or ‘Black British Expats’ currently living in the UAE but if and when they do come, I’ve got a little something for all of them.

I can give expert expat advice on life in another country in order for them to make a well-informed decision about moving to the UAE. I mean, who else can tell you where to get your braids done and where to find Belvoir’s Elderflower Cordial at half price? Who else can tell you where to find the best fish and chips and the best fufu and light soup in town?

FOOD

arancini rice baLLS If you’re anything like me, there is always leftover food in the fridge.

Growing up there was never any wasted food in our house, which meant we always got creative with ways to use food up. One of my favourites is this recipe for leftover rice.

These tasty ‘Arancini&’ balls are traditionally made from risotto rice but taste just as great with normal rice.

With the party season upon us, these would make great appetisers, but also work well as a mid-afternoon snack. Arancini rice balls are usually served alongside a simple marinara sauce or a garlic aioli sauce. uBe-24

Suitable for the whole family including babies 6+ months

inGredienTS for The arancini baLL Mix: • 270g pre-cooked rice • 1 small spring onion (finely

chopped) • ½ medium red bell pepper

(finely chopped) • ½ tsp crushed garlic

• • • • • •

½ tsp ground black pepper ½ tsp mixed herbs 1 tbsp parmesan Handful of grated mozzarella Pinch of salt (optional) ½ tsp red chilli flakes (optional- to taste)

for The coaTinG: • 4 tbsp plain flour • 4 tbsp breadcrumbs • 2 eggs (beaten)

MeThod: •

1. Heat a small amount of oil in a pan on medium heat and add the chopped spring onions.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly golden.

•

2. Add the chopped pepper and crushed garlic and cook until the peppers have softened (this can take 5-10 minutes).

•

3. Once the peppers and spring onions have cooked, add to a mixing bowl along with the cold left-over rice, black pepper, mixed herbs, parmesan, mozzarella (and if desired, salt and chilli flakes).

Mix well.

•

4. When everything is mixed, with slightly damp hands, grab a handful of the mix and roll and press to form small firm ball shapes.

•

5. Refrigerate rice balls for a minimum of 30 minutes to set the shape.

•

6. For the coating, dip each Arancini ball into flour first, then the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs.

Make sure to cover the whole ball and dust of any excess after each step.

•

7. Traditionally Arancini balls are deep fried but you can absolutely opt for the healthier option and bake them in the oven until golden brown. They usually cook in 2-4 minutes if frying and 5-10 minutes if baking at 180c.

Skin Map

So... here i aM, 15 and Skincare STi

This industry is constan no wonder we can get overwhelmed with the why’s and how’s!

Skin mapping is a personalized service that can be done online/offline, which helps you identify the triggers of your skin concerns!

I massively miss teaching in the classroom so I decided to create a community hub where I can share my professional skin knowledge and passion for natural alternatives. I often step out of the box, so watch this space for very unusual skin wellbeing tips! One of my first educational posts is on Skin Mapping which I thought I’d share with you all.

90% of skin concerns are caused by underlying wellbeing conditions

My aim is to add value to you all so you can make guided, educated changes to your skincare routine.

From our most gorgeous glowing days to our worst breakouts, our skin is constantly communicating with us about our diet, health and habits.

Your skin is unique, just like a fingerprint, treat it uniquely!

Skin MappinG Your skin is a mirror of what’s going on inside your body - so start listening! uBe-26

Find the trigger first, then deal with the signs & symptoms!

Otherwise you will always be fighting a constant losing battle.

I absolutely love performing this service 1) To genuinely support people with their skin concerns 2) 99.9% of people are stunned by the results!

Their reaction is priceless!

whaT iS Skin MappinG? Face mapping is a revolutionary traditional and modern approach to skin analysis to help you identify your true skin type & possible underlying causes of skin conditions.

Face mapping divides the skin into 14 distinct zones each with its own set of potential problems and unique needs.

Think of it as face reflexology. It stems from an ancient Chinese belief that a person’s skin is a reflection of their inner health. Skin mapping underpinning theory stems from Chinese face mapping which is a 3000 year old practice.

When there’s a bodily imbalance, it’s said that the skin will show this via pimples, redness, or dryness. The location of these blemishes on the face supposedly represent the organ that’s affected.

A simple dietary switch can be all it takes to turn your skin around. For example; eyebrows - The space between the eyebrows corresponds with the liver. The liver plays a detoxification role so toxins from negative emotions or a bad diet can be detrimental to this facial area. Maybe you’ve recently been consuming too many rich foods and alcohol in your diet, or could possibly have a food allergy such as lactose intolerance.

The beauty industry has led us to believe healthy skin is all product based! We are educated to deal with our skin concerns via products and more products. Yes, an effective skincare regime will have an impact on your overall skin health; however, 80% of the time you can control your skin appearance starting from within.

To sum it up, natural, non toxic products and good wellbeing is the key solution to getting the most out of your skin!
