From the bottom of our hearts, wishing all lovers and dreamers a day full of happiness and unconditional love!
Rather than a day full of consumerism, marketing and excess packaging, have you thought to make today, Valentines Day, a day of simple pleasures?
Making a special meal, gifting an experience, making time to do something together, lighting candles and listening to music, a picnic in the park. So many wonderfully intimate, thoughtful things to do and share today, a day celebrated as a day to declare your love for someone, the special someone in your life.
We thought to share with you one of our fabulously delicious and favourite smoothie bowls made by vegan angel Alex Beckett, photographer, nature queen and foodie fan of Mayella Organics.
This is a recipe to impress, fan the fires of love and nourish your beautiful body to heights of happiness!

The Hidden Cost of Chronic Stress
The Skin Reflects the Health of the Whole Body
Perhaps one of the most exciting discoveries in modern dermatology is that skin has its own local stress-response system. Skin cells can synthesise cortisol and respond directly to stress hormones without waiting for signals from the brain. This means our skin isn't simply reacting to stressâit is actively participating in it.
What happens to your skin during chronic / ongoing stress? Problems arise when cortisol remains elevated for prolonged periods.

The Seven Pillars of the Mayella Facial Therapy Methodâ˘
What if your skincare ritual could do more than care for your skin?
We have always believed that skincare is about more than what you put on your face. It is about maintaining healthy movement within the fascia, connective tissue and facial muscles that naturally support facial contours and movement. It is also about reversing facial feedback loops where muscle tightness signals stress to the brain.
This daily ritual becomes a powerful moment of nervous system care, mindfulness and self-connection. A self care meditation and a radiant glow!
Nitric Oxide â The Molecule That Keeps You Moving
We have the choice to make this timeline much more empowering.
Ageing isn't simply something that happens to us.
Our biology is continually responding to our environment and our habits. As we age, our circulatory system naturally changes. Our blood vessels can become less flexible, and nitric oxide may become less available. But our biology isn't fixed. The foods we eat, the way we move, how we recover and the lifestyle we create around ourselves can all influence the environment in which our vascular system functions.
-
Movement encourages healthy blood flow and stimulates nitric oxide production.
-
Plant-rich foods provide nutrients and naturally occurring compounds involved in vascular health.
-
Dietary nitrate from foods such as beetroot and leafy greens can enter the nitrate â nitrite â nitric oxide pathway.
- Antioxidant-rich foods can help support the body's defences against oxidative stress.
- Rest, sleep, stress management and maintaining metabolic health all contribute to the environment in which our vascular system operates.
