The Evolution of Self-care
SAKRID is a UK-based self-care brand on a mission to lovingly remove harmful toxins and chemical ingredients from the lives of women & men who are taking ownership of their own health and wellness, but still want high-quality products.
We are becoming increasingly conscious. About our wellbeing. Our food. Our planet. Our mental health. Our impact on our environment and our communities. Likewise, an increasing number of us are becoming aware of the impact the products we use on our bodies can have on the future of our health.
Natalie Elliott, Campaigner & Global Speaker on Toxic Beauty, founded SAKRID after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and she made the startling realisation that she and her family were using products filled with potentially harmful toxins and chemicals every day.
Years spent researching product ingredients revealed a potential link to a host of serious conditions from skin irritations, infertility, respiratory issues, birth defects and hormone disruption. âFor decades the cosmetics and beauty industry has relied upon formulas that include a heady mix of chemicals that are at best questionable and at worst, downright harmful.â Within this time, our knowledge of our health and wellbeing has advanced significantly, whilst the formulas have changed very little.
Natalie has created a range of self-care products that simply removes all harmful chemicals and toxins without compromising on quality. âIt is entirely possible to take care of your body and look good using natural products.” We make good products, using good ingredients, that are good for you and good for our planet. All good things – We are Sakrid. Get 20% off your first purchase using code: KMUMS20.

Supercharged new multivitamin to help you reach peak you!
Nutrient balance is the most important thing for a healthy body and mind, and one of the most powerful anti-aging methods. GobiGold Daily BalancerÂź, a new daily nutrient balancer out of Switzerland, is specifically formulated to assist one in achieving nutrient balance. A single daily dose delivers a complete synthesis of high-quality nutrients, for optimum body and mind function.
Extensive research into nutrient content of food, over the past 50 years has shown foodâs nutrients to be steadily declining. The nutrient decline, along with modern diet and dietary choices, are the main causes for not being able to achieve nutrient balance status and reduce life expectancy. Epidemiological studies have repeatedly shown associations between food and nutrient intake and the incidence and severity of chronic diseases.
GobiGold is a new scientifically advanced daily multivitamin which contains 12 essential vitamins, 6 key minerals and supremely pure Omega 3 in a new capsule technology for maximum efficacy. GobiGold helps you to achieve a balanced diet which means so much to your body and mind from a health point of view. Taken alongside a healthy diet, GobiGold will ensure that you’re receiving all of the body’s necessary daily nutrients.

A short guide to meditating like a Buddhist
âMeditation changed my life.â
You might have heard these words before and felt just an ounce of incredulity. The effects of meditation vary according to an individualâs personal experiences and this can have a huge impact on the practitioner.
For diligent practitioners, meditation helps alleviate suffering by ceding attempts to control and force things to be the way they want and instead accept and live with the way it is. In the process the practitioner becomes kinder, more compassionate and less angry. Does it sound amazing? Itâs kind of ideal. Big question: how to practice it?
Buddhism provides a simple method for meditation. âSit in the quiet room and close your eyes. Focus on your breathing and observe.â Thatâs it. Strengthen your mind by trying to bring your focus on your breathing. Anytime you think about the past or the future, just bring it back!! The 5 enemies of meditation or the five hindrances are sensory desire, vengefulness, apathy, restlessness and remorse or doubt.
How to apply in real life: when you face unpleasant moments, take several big inhalations, use those moments to realise you cannot control things, just accept it the way it is and move on.

Regular Girl â a Gut Feeling You Can Trust
Derived from the guar bean, Regular Girlâs unique SunfiberÂź is a perfect food source for the good bacteria in your gut, helping them thrive. It moves through your system at just the right pace, without creating excess gas or bloating and is easy on the tummy. It also helps manage appetite by keeping you feeling fuller for longer and helps to reduce that aggravating post-meal glucose spike by moderating the glycaemic index of foods.
Regular Girl does more than keep you regular. One serving also contains eight billion clinically proven probiotics in its Bifidobacterium lactis (B. lactis). These good bacteria work in harmony with the fibre, supporting your microbiome and promoting overall wellness. Probiotics are not only important for our digestive system, but also for our immune health, our mood and other bodily functions. B. lactis has a long history of safe use and has been clinically shown to improve immune functions and protect against inflammation.
Just sprinkle one serving of Regular Girl into your favourite cold beverage or food and the comfort of a balanced day is yours. You won’t taste the difference, as it is flavourless, but you’ll feel the benefits. Regular Girl can be taken at any time of the day, but it works best for you first thing in the morning, to get your digestive system on track for a comfortable and healthy day.

At Jitterbug, we believe that taste and quality should never be compromised in the pursuit of wellness.
Why ACV Seltzers?
We became super excited about the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar in controlling blood glucose levels, its efficacy in promoting good gut health, speeding up digestion and general vitality and wanted to share its goodness with the world. In fact, in the 18th century, Samurai warriors of Japan used Vinegar as a tonic they believed that vinegar gave them power and strength.
Jitterbug Seltzers were artisan created as a purposeful blend of Natural fruit juices with Apple Cider Vinegar and sparkling water because we believe that everyone should have access to healthier alternatives to sugar-loaded sodas awash in the soft drinks industry.
