Happy Balm for Dry, Cracked Heels and Toes...
Could it be time to swap those chunky boots for flip-flops, sandals, and strappy heels? Maybe not just yet... The sun may be peaking out from behind the clouds, but we haven't quite reached open-toe temperatures just yet. For most of us, our feet have been tucked away all winter, so it’s time to give them some much-needed attention before we show them off. Whether you're slipping into your favourite pair of heels or just planning a barefoot stroll when the sunshine returns, your feet deserve a little love, that's if you want them to look and feel good. Happy Balm for Dry, Cracked Heels and Toes... I see my Happy Balm as a bit of a miracle worker because it isn’t just for your skin - it’s packed with an uplifting blend of essential oils that will leave you feeling as refreshed as your newly pampered feet. Think of it as a happy little mood boost for your heels and toes. Ready to put your best foot forward this season? Let’s get into it! Morning: Start the Day with a Fresh Boost After your shower or bath, when your feet are still soft and damp, apply a generous amount of Happy Balm to your feet. Massage it in, focusing on dry spots and any tension you might have in your heels and arches. The uplifting blend of Bergamot, Red Mandarin, and Spearmint will not only hydrate and nourish your skin but also give you a mood-boosting kickstart to your day. Bonus Tip: Make it a mini morning ritual by applying a small amount of Happy Balm to your wrists or temples, too. The aromatherapy blend is perfect for giving you that "fresh start" feeling. I know, it’s easy to forget about our feet. They’ve been tucked away all winter, but now it’s time to give them some much-needed attention. Whether you're slipping into your favourite pair of heels or just planning a barefoot stroll when the sunshine returns, your feet deserve a little love—and I have to say, my Happy Balm delivers every single time. This miracle worker isn’t just for your skin—it’s packed with an uplifting blend of essential oils that will leave you feeling as refreshed as your newly pampered feet. Think of it as a happy little mood boost for your heels and toes. Ready to put your best foot forward this season? Let’s get into it!

Midday: Quick Foot Refresh Your feet are working hard in the middle of the day, whether you're running errands, attending meetings, or chasing after the kids. Happy Balm can give them the pick-me-up they need! Take a quick break, and apply a small amount of Happy Balm to your heels. The uplifting, citrusy scent will lift your spirits, and the nourishing oils will keep your feet feeling soft and comfortable. Bonus Tip: Use this moment to give your feet a mini massage. Gently rub the balm in with circular motions to improve circulation and relieve any tension that’s built up during the day. Evening: Wind Down with a Relaxing Foot Care Ritual After a long day on your feet, your feet need a little more TLC to help them relax and recover. Before bed, apply a thick layer of Happy Balm to your feet. Work it into the heels, toes, and any rough spots, and let the calming oils of Spearmint, Bergamot, and Red Mandarin work their magic. The scent will soothe both your feet and your mind, preparing you for a restful night. Bonus Tip: For extra softness, pop on a pair of socks after applying the balm. This will lock in the moisture and allow the balm to sink deeper into your skin overnight, leaving you with incredibly soft, hydrated feet come morning. Here's to loving our feet! Jodes.xx

Wellness with Jodes: The Benefits of Cold Water Therapy
AUDIO TRANSRIBED BELOW:"It's Jodes here! I am absolutely delighted to welcome you to this podcast. Together, let's explore the realm of wellness where I divulge the secrets that have kept me thriving, and perhaps a few that didn't quite hit the mark! From my days on the runway to my roles as a business owner and parent. I understand the vital role of maintaining health. So grab a cuppa and let's delve into all things wellness." The Benefits of Cold Water Therapy "The reason why I love getting or immersing myself into cold water is that it really reduces inflammation throughout your body. It’s amazing for muscle recovery, but it also turbocharges the dopamine and serotonin hormones and these are basically your happy hormones. You just get out of the water and you feel immediately much more elevated and much more in a happier state." "Getting into cold water, you're kind of going through controlled stress. So when you get out of it, anything that you might have thought was hard becomes a lot easier. Whether that's a difficult email or anything within that day that you thought would be hard - it just becomes a lot easier to deal with. I find it is amazing for focusing, you really have to focus when you get in that water as you have to control your breathing. You have to just drown everything out - not literally drown, thank you! - but drown everything out of your mind. You just become incredibly focused." "Cold Water Therapy is also really, really good for metabolism and really good for burning calories. There's so many incredible benefits and the science now is saying how beneficial it is for you - it's become part of our daily routine. Whenever we have time to do it, we will be in there - it really is something that's quite, quite amazing to do for your body and for your mind. I say to everyone, you've got to try it!"

Jodie Kidd: Balancing the Fast Lane and Skin Health with Skin & Tonic
Hey everyone, Life is a whirlwind, isn't it? Especially for us mums who seem to be juggling a million things at once... In my case, I've got a lively 12-year-old son who thinks I should be as enthusiastic about kicking a ball around as he is (and truth be told, I actually love it!). On top of that, I'm a model, a racing driver, a TV presenter, and, believe it or not, a country pub landlady. It's true that I thrive on the open air and the thunder of horsepower, but there's one thing that doesn't always love the great outdoors—my skin. 'No matter your age, we all deserve the best.' I live in the countryside which has its perks, but the bracing country air can take a toll on my skin. That's why I’ve always been a staunch advocate for the Skin & Tonic philosophy. It's all about replenishing your body with the essential goodness it deserves. No matter your age, we all deserve the best, and Skin & Tonic is precisely that – the very best. Skin Health with Skin & Tonic That's why I turn to Skin & Tonic - our formulations are simple, pure, and tailored to meet the needs of women who are always on the go. 'I understand the importance of skincare that not only works but also fits seamlessly into our busy lives.' Whether you're a model, a racing enthusiast, a fellow mum, or all of the above, the need for quality skincare remains constant. Skin & Tonic has been my go-to solution for maintaining healthy, radiant skin amidst the chaos of life (which is why I became part of the team). Our commitment to using natural and organic ingredients aligns perfectly with my love for the open air and all things horsepower. So, here's to embracing the chaos, kicking that ball with enthusiasm, and looking after our skin with the very best. Because, just like you, my skin deserves nothing less. Cheers,Jodes.x
