Seaweed crisps Finding a snack that’s healthy, but still tastes bad for you is always difficult. We live in hope that someone invents a zero-calorie multivitamin chocolate, but at the moment, healthy savoury snacks are making all the running. Abakus Food’s new seaweed crisps tick all the boxes and taste good. They’re made of tapioca starch and seaweed, so they’re vegan, high fibre, gluten free and provide iodine. They also come in around 100 kCal a pack. Find your local stockiest or buy them direct at www.abakusfoods.com
Green Stem CBD Hand Cream Given that holistic therapy is often a hands-on job, it’s strange that we don’t always prioritise their care. They can be subject to some pretty rough treatment and show our age faster than other parts of our bodies as a result. We found Green Stem’s CBD Hand Cream to be soothing and great for helping hands heal, softening rough or dry skin. The CBD is said to be anti-inflammatory and the scent of sandalwood, lavender and jasmine make it idea for use last thing at night, as the gentle scent aids sleep. £20 from www.greenstemcbd.com/cbdskincare.html
Grounded Fountain of Youth Serum As a product name, it makes a big promise, but this powerful serum contains hyaluronic acid, marine collagen and elastin, amino acids and blue algae which has the effect of banishing blemishes, toning the skin, restoring radiance. It’s one to buy if you don’t sleep well as it helps reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes with regular use. Find it at www.groundedbodyscrub.co.uk
