Travel Tuesday: Desert Island Beauty & Wellness- Part 7: Tao Te Ching

A popular radio program in the UK called Desert Island Discs asks a variety of listeners which eight records they would take to a Desert Island. 

A friend asked me what my beauty version would be. So here's the beginning of an eight part Beauty & Wellness series about what I would take with me if I was only allowed one item. 

The seventh item I would take if I wasn't allowed a fully loaded kindle would be a book. It's a great way to switch off from life, get absorbed into another place and relax. 

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu is a book you can read again and again. Every time you read it you grasp something else from it depending what's going on in your mind & in your life. 

I've included a picture as there seems to be several editions printed, but this is my favourite. It was introduced to me by a friend in high school and it's been a book I've turned back to many times over the years.

A popular radio program in the UK called Desert Island Discs asks a variety of listeners what they would take to a Desert Island. If they were only allowed 8 records what would they pack?  

A friend asked me what my beauty version would be. So here's the fourth entry of an eight part Beauty & Wellness series about what I would take with me if I was only allowed one item. 

I love to run and have completed the European Marathon Majors. Running barefoot in the sand helps to build the foot muscles and is great for all over toning and strength building. It is important to wear a supportive sports bra because the breast tissue can stretch with the constant bounce caused from running. Victoria's Secret make the best sports bras ever! I love the support they give and bright colours make me happy. 

Soft sand running is great for your joints. “The soft sand surface and barefoot running means your stabilising muscles and joints work a little bit harder to keep you balanced. It’s insanely awesome strength work for your legs” says 12WBT Trainer Greta Truscott. 

Get out & enjoy a run on your holiday this summer Bisous! 💋
