Getting a good pampering is something that I rarely schedule, so when I headed out the door to Bikini Beach Boutique and Spa on a particularly blustery winters morning you could say I was inordinately excited. I was booked in for not one, but three indulgent treatments – a facial, massage, and manicure. BRING. IT. ON.
More and more my children are taking an interest in cooking in the kitchen. My seven year old likes to lend a hand, particularly when there is an electronic gadget involved whether it’s mixing, grating or nutri-bulleting – the noisier the better. And my five year old daughter doesn’t want to miss out either and grates carrots and potatoes beyond their first skin…but that’s OK – she’s very happy doing this task and proud when there’s nothing more to grate (literally nothing!) They both desperately want to be able to do the things that I do. So I say yes when I can to things they can do since driving is out of the question…What is a chore to me is a game to them because it’s a new experience.

When it comes to detoxing after the holidays it is important to include foods into your diet that keep you feeling full but also support the liver, and are rich in amino-acids and vital nutrients. Try this very simple warming, cleansing and tasty meal.
“It feels as though the beach should be right outside,” The Boss said wistfully, gazing around the interior of The Duke restaurant. At least twenty-five years have passed since my husband donned his wetsuit to ride the Cornish waves with his sons but, like any serious surfing fan, he knows the significance of this eatery’s name. When keen surfers and world travellers Ronnie and Juanjo opened the place in Santa Catalina in 2009, they named it after the legendary Hawaiian surfer Duke Kahanamoku.

Whew – what a year it was! After some well deserved rest and family time many of us are enthusiastically (or not so enthusiastically) diving into 2019 with fresh resolve to adopt new healthy habits to kick off 2019. We’re so fortunate on our little island to have access to such a great community of therapists and practitioners to help us on our well-being journey, and Nourish is of course here to share them with you.
TIME TO MOVE!
If adding more movement and perhaps shedding a few pounds is on your agenda for 2019 then you’re not alone. Resolutions based on exercise and eating seem to be perpetual and rarely achieved. What you need is someone in your corner who’s going to motivate you and hold you accountable when it all seems like a bit too much effort.

Elspeth believes strength and conditioning should not just be reserved for athletes, and Get Strong Performance brings the world’s best strength and performance equipment to Mallorca. Here you will be treated like an athlete in training, with programs backed by science to help you achieve your goals.
NEW YEAR, NEW DO
Who else loves to use the New Year as an excuse to hit the salon for a fresh look? Unfortunately most salons aren’t too worried about the cocktail of nasties in many of the haircare products they use, including sulfates, parabens, formaldehyde, and synthetic colours and fragrances. That’s why we love Salon B in Portals Nous where Aveda products take centre stage. Nourish loves Aveda, and their commitment to using organic ingredients and Ayurvedic principles in developing their gorgeous range.
PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE FOR 2019
The beginning of another year can be daunting. We often choose this time to reflect on what we’ve achieved, where we want to be, and how we’re going to get there. Perhaps you feel trapped personally or professionally, have fears about moving forward, or are struggling to cope with life’s curveballs. A life coach is dedicated to helping you identify your blocks and goals, keep you on track, and cheer you on as you step by step make positive changes. Anne Nielsen from Green Apple Coaching has the tools and experience to get you out of that rut and make 2019 your best year yet.
If you’re keen on embracing some professional development this year then Sabrina from Coaching Palma is your go-to lady. She provides personal, team and business coaching to enable you to discover gaps, define targets and help you achieve your ambitions and full potential. Seeing people make progress and rise above circumstances and perceived barriers is Sabrina’s passion.
