Elle Macpherson is 50, she is thorough-bred perfect, the body, the hair, the face, and apparently it's all down to what is in the bottle above.
Let's worship at the altar of Elle....
The smile....
The fantastic sytling....
And the BODY....
A friend of mine is a judge on the InStyle beauty awards, so she was sent a jar.
One quick smell and I knew what it was immediately....
Basically it is this....
Dehydrated greens (DGs) in all of their varieties are incredibly potent and beneficial.
This is the only part of my 'beauty' regime that I never miss, every morning a least 3 tea spoons mixed with diluted apple juice.
I have been taking them for 10 years and I notice if I stop.
If you read all the online hyperbole, users claim that DGs cure everything from psoriasis to cancer. I don't think that there is scientific proof of these kind of benefits, but in these days of shrink-wrapped, laser-zapped veg, it is useful to get your vegetable nutrients in one true dose.
I recommend them to everyone that I train with and everyone sticks to them (if not the exercise regime)! One lady had acne problems, that cleared up almost completely (except for when she gets very stressed). Another lady had been trying to conceive for 3 years and did get pregnant (aged 44).
I can't claim it to be the powder 'what done it', but it does seem that for those who have quite stressful, caffeine-driven lives, vitamin rich, 'alkalising' powder seems to balance things out.
So I can see why Elle is happy to was lyrical about it, but she has commercialised it too far. It is £96 a jar, which is a shame, as this is a product that could help many people. Since it does not carry a medical license, it is impossible to advertise the claimed health benefits of dehydrated greens, but most people would feel and look better if they took them. At £8.99 it is worth a go, for 96 quid, I can understand why people would hesitate!
So if you want to look like Elle, either buy some DGs from Holland and Barratt, or enter the competition and win some gene support supplements from Baranova (read previous post!)....
Yesterday I went to visit my positively blooming pal from Paris with a Bump, we were heading to Carluccios in Hampstead and the weather was 29 degrees.
I tried on my Etoile Isabel Marant dress, vintage Hermes bucket bag and gladiator flats from Matalan.
Miss B turned her back, she did NOT approve...
Although Suki (an interloper from one of our neighbours) DID like the colour scheme A LOT...
In fact she's quite keen on the whole 'selfie' thing...
I plumped for a Miss Guided lace dress (£30)....
and some K Jacques sandals....
In my head, the dress is a dead ringer for this one by Dolce e Gabanna
Charli sells other brands like Day Birger Mikkelsen and the like, I found these cute little rose gold plated necklaces and bought a boy and a girl for the 'bump'.
