I haven't blogged for 2 weeks as I have been busy with revisions, I got one more to go tomorrow. I'm on a 30 minute break now so decided to update the blog about my shopping at Holland & Barrett.
Yes, Holland & Barrett is doing the penny sale again- I've been waiting for it! The penny sale was only available on certain products and good thing it included Manuka Honey. I've recently established a love for Manuka Honey because of the benefits it has for the skin and body. I've been adding it into my smoothies, porridge, pancakes and other food.
I bought these two for £26.50, that's; £26.49 for one and 1p for the second. If you've never heard of Manuka Honey, you must be wondering 'why the hell does it cost so much?'. I don't really know why, but apparently it is known as 'healing' honey, it contains antibacterial qualities and has an anti-inflammatory action. Manuka Honey has some active agent in it and unlike normal honey it won't be destroyed when exposed to heat. The figure 24+ is the UMF, the higher the better. Anything below 10 is no good.
This jar of honey contains 100% Manuka Honey which is what I like to see. Nice and pure and no other artificial ingredients. Oh also, you can also you use it as a face mask. It's anti-aging.
I also bought Aloe Vera to use on skin, bought them for £6.99; £6.98 for one and 1p for the second. I like to use aloe vera gel to soothe the skin after waxing and threading and also if I accidentally burnt or cut myself. Aloe vera is another natural healing agent and very good for your skin too. This tube contains 99.9% natural aloe vera gel.
I bought almond nut butter, this wasn't part of the penny sale. I've read about almond butter in a couple of my favourite fitness blogs (www.celeryandcupcakes.com, fitforthesoul.com) so I wanted to give it a try. It taste a bit like peanut butter and I like it.
Look at the ingredients. Its very natural, 99.5% of almond. No added palm oil and sugar. Great stuff! I bought this for £2.79.
