I was recently invited take a Holland & Barrett Good life MOT. I answered 10 straightforward health and beauty related questions and then nervously awaited my results. I was so happy when the certificate below arrived because I actually did a lot better than I thought!
My Holland & Barrett Good Life MOT Results |
Even though I did better than I expected to, I still picked up a total of six ‘minors’ along the way! I was actually surprised by how accurately the Good Life MOT had gauged the areas in my lifestyle that could benefit from a little improvement. So, in order to remedy those areas of my health and beauty reigime that were found to be lacking, I was sent some health and beauty products to help me turn my lifestyle around and address some of those niggly little issues that have been bugging me for a while!

OK, so this one is a no-brainer for me! I drink way too much caffeine throughout the day so I can sometimes find it difficult to relax and unwind before bed. This often results in a late night or perhaps even worse still, a broken and restless night’s sleep. This Massage and Body oil will definitely help me to get in the mood for a good night’s sleep as it contains the beautiful aroma of calming and tranquil lavender. It also rather conveniently provides a great excuse to get a back massage from my partner – and what could be more relaxing than that?!

Beauty oils of pretty much any and every description are very much ‘en vogue’ right now. And they’re super popular for good reason! Many oils are wonder products capable of doing amazing things for our skin, hair and nails. This Vitamin E Pure Oil Complex will be great for strengthening and conditioning my eyelashes which I abuse daily with copious amounts of waterproof mascara, eye lash curlers and false lashes! Also, like most oils, it’s a bit of a multitasking product and will make a fantastic intensive nighttime eye cream, relieve areas of dry skin and help to improve scarring and stretchmarks.

Holland & Barrett Good Life MOT Neal’s Yard Wholefoods Whole Cashew Nuts 100g – £2.09 |
My diet isn’t always the healthiest even though I’m a vegetarian, so these whole cashew nuts are perfect for increasing my vitamin, mineral and protein intake all in one easy and naturally delicious step!

I’ve never tried anything like these before but I’m looking forward to seeing if they make a noticeable improvement to my skin, hair and nails. My hair in particular has been left dry and damaged as I’ve been maintaining faux blonde locks for nearly 2 years now! I’m also trying to grow my hair back long
after having a drastically short hair cut! My nails are, and always have been, very soft, weak, brittle and prone to breakage so if these do anything to strengthen them and improve their condition overall, I will be absolutely delighted!

I have to use the L-lysine when I am having a bad month as I am prone to coldsores and impetigo 🙁 But since I have started taking them I am yet to have a break out!

Hi Sian,
It's great that the L-lysine has been working so well for you! I hope they can do the same for me too! xox
Thanks for your lovely comment 🙂
Love the idea of a Holland & Barrett MOT, I always have a browse in there but never really know what to pick up that's best for me! I've been taking 'Radiant You' by Seven Seas for a while now, for hair, skin and nails and they've made a big difference to my skin and hair! My nails, I'm still having issues with but I think that's a filing issue not a general weakness.

I will have to try the mot questions – sounds like a great idea x

It's always hard shopping somewhere if you're not sure what the right products are for you. I always feel lost in LUSH as I don't know my way around their product range very well at all yet!
I'm looking forward to seeing what the hair food vitamins can do for me as they're actually a lot cheaper than many other brands I've seen. xx
