Juices and smoothies
Making juices and smoothies is one of the simplest, quickest ways to boost your vitamin and mineral intake. You can rustle up tasty thirst quenchers in a matter of seconds, using ingredients you love. Making juices and smoothies at home is much cheaper than buying products from cafes and stores, and it’s often better for you, as you have control over what goes into the recipe. Some shop-bought smoothies contain a lot of added sugar. Once you’ve invested in a juicer or a blender, you can experiment with different ingredients and flavours, trying everything from a vibrant, refreshing strawberry juicer recipe to an indulgent coconut and banana smoothie. Juices and smoothies are ideal for breakfast, especially if you’re in a hurry. When you’re mixing fruits and vegetables, look for tastes and flavours that complement each other, and don’t be afraid to be bold.

The coronavirus and Covid-19 pandemic have meant that back in March, governments around the world started to implement stay at home orders, social isolation measures and social distancing to minimise and slow the spread of the virus. Over the past five months, many businesses have had to remain closed to abide by these new rules and restrictions. One of the industries that has been hit the hardest is the dining and hospitality industry. Restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs and other venues have all had to shut their doors, as social distancing in these spaces wasn’t initially deemed possible. However, as time has passed, and as we are all becoming more aware of how to compose ourselves and act to reduce infection rates, restrictions are being lifted and those of us who own or run restaurants are beginning to be able to consider opening back up. But what can you do to help your business to thrive during these still difficult times? Here are a few tips and tricks to take into consideration!

CHOOSING THE BEST SUNGLASSES FOR YOU
For many of us, choosing a pair of sunglasses for the summer is just as simple as popping into your favorite retail store, pharmacy, outlet mall or even gas station (on the way out of town to the beach if you’re lucky) and grabbing the first pair that looks cool. Whether you’re into big lenses, tinted glasses, cat-eye glasses, huge, oversized trendy pairs or something else entirely, you’re going to have plenty to choose from, even in the most out-of-the-way places.
