Getting My Beauty Fix in Richmond Park

Every now and then I like to throw in a post that's a little different. Looking gorgeous isn't always about layering on expensive creams and serums. Nor is it about how much makeup we wear or how we've done our hair. Often, the best way to look gorgeous is to feel gorgeous and that means looking after ourselves.

When I say that, I mean in more ways than just eating fresh food and going to gruelling gym classes. I was that girl for years. I worked out for hours a day and was on a diet for the better part of fifteen years! Yet, I think I'm healthier now than I have been in years. Sometimes all we need to do is put some trainers on and get out into the fresh air. It's amazing for your skin, gets your circulation going and you'll burn a few calories while you're at it.




I'm a nut for nature. I love the countryside and wildlife and I get so much joy out of getting up close and personal with it. Richmond Park isn't quite the countryside but I did nearly pass out from happiness when I was a matter of feet away from a thundering herd of deer. I saw a playful rut between two young bucks and the views in the park were to die for. You'll get an overwhelming sense of peace out on a lovely, long walk away from the streets and car fumes.




The health benefits don't stop there! We saw loads of edible mushrooms while we were out last weekend. You can't get much fresher and healthier than picking your own! Yummm! How good would this monster be with some eggs on toast??? Very few mushrooms are actually poisonous. However, many don't exactly taste great. The BBC Autumn Watch website has a great guide to picking your own mushrooms on it.

After our lovely walk my skin is glowing and I'm feeling refreshed and ready to take on a busy week. Check out your local Ramblers group or look at notice boards in your local area. There are loads of groups that like to go exploring in every community. Getting away from the bustle and taking a wonderful nature walk will really bring your gorgeousness to the surface!!
