Mothering Sunday!

On Sunday it's Mothering Sunday... a day to pamper and treat your mum, for all the nice things she has done! But how will you be treating her this weekend?

Well, look no more... we have a couple of tricks up our sleeves that can help put a smile on your mums face! 

Pamper Days
You can take your mum to a day of pampering at a beautiful spa, to help her unwind and relax. But this can end up being rather pricey, so spend the day with your mum at home while doing face masks, foot rubs, pedicures and manicures... all in the comfort of your own home, or your mums home! 

Adventurous Walks
All mums are different... and if your mum is more outdoorsy, then put on those walking boots and get outside! Take in the brisk fresh air and head out on a walk around the local woods or lake... or jump on a train/car and explore a nearby village filled with walking tracks waiting to be explored! 

• Breakfast in Bed
You don't need to be a chef to treat you mum to breakfast in bed... especially when we make it so easy for you. Grab a delicious pot of our porridge, in your mums favourite flavour of course, and just add in hot water... make it extra special by putting it on a tray with a little flower and a glass of cool iced water with a slice of lemon, or a lovely cup of tea! 

Movie Evenings
Some of us don't have the luxury of having work off on Sundays... so make the most of your evening by spoiling your mum by having a lovely evening watching her favourite films. But don't binge out on junk food, grab a pot of our noodles instead, which are super tasty and healthy! Even better, all you need to do is just add hot water into the pot - so you won't miss any of the exciting parts when the film is on!

The countdown to summer is on!

The countdown to summer is on... and before we know it we will all be jetting off on our holidays! It's an exciting thought, until you realise you're running out of time to get your body beach ready. 

Exercise and diet are essential... regular workouts will help you not only lose weight but tone up, where eating healthier/dieting will help you drop the pounds. 

Regular exercise is key. Not all of this has to be done in the gym, you can do it in the comfort of your own home with a fitness DVD, or if the weather is fine a jog in the local park will also work! Get yourself into the outdoors... exercising the park will get you out into the fresh air, plus it's free.

Eating the right foods can be a tough one. We all like to indulge in chocolates or biscuits, but it's always the case of "just one more" - let's be honest, it's never just the one. Cutting back your calories is a great way to lose weight, simply restrict your calorie intake and choose healthier foods that are filling... our Hopper Pots do just that! They are small in calories but big in taste and flavour. So, instead of going to the local sandwich shop, have a delicious pot of our soup instead! 

What are you waiting for... the countdown has begun!

Family Fun

As it's now March, the Spring season is definitely around... and fingers crossed the sun will stay shining!

There is no better time then now to start heading out into the great outdoors, so we have complied a list of some activities that all the family can get involved in!

• Visit a local farm and see the animals.
• Head out on a hike/walk.
• Play tag in a local park.
• Plant some flowers in the garden.
• Jump around in puddles when caught in a downpour.
• Feed the ducks.
• Get the bikes out and go on a ride.

Some might seem silly, but will definitely be fun! Why not give them a go...

The Great British Walk Off

The weather still may be rather chilly, but that doesn't mean you have to stay inside all day, the great outdoors is a simple step away... waiting to be explored.

This is something all the family can get involved in, plus it gets everyone into the crisp, fresh air - just wrap up warm and take a coat with a hood (or an umbrella) as you don't want to be caught in a down-pour.

And, of course, walking has plenty of health benefits - it strengthens your heart, helping to reduce the risk of diseases and stroke, and also boosts your vitamin D levels... which play a big role in everything from bone health to your immune system. An added bonus is that it keeps your weight in check and tones your legs, bum and tum - hurray!

Don't forget to take a break during all the walking to fuel up... our compact Hopper Pots are perfect as they are small enough to put in your bag without taking up too much room. Just take along a flask of hot water and you're done! Easy.
