A Sunday well spent brings a week of content and that is certainly how I felt after attending Live Well London at the beginning of March. "...everything you need to know about wellbeing, health and fitness under one roof." Based at Old Billingsgate, this was an amazing chance to meet and listen to some inspirational voices, especially for me figures from the health and beauty industry.
What struck me most was the positive upbeat energy that I felt walking around. Once I got given an outline of what was happening that day I selected 2 main talks that I knew interested me and hoped I would learn more from these knowledgeable women. The rest of the time I got to talk and meet some really admirable entrepreneurs.
Angelique Panagos spoke about how modern day life is taking it's toll on our hormones and how nutrition can help balance this. Her talk was fascinating, drawing on her own personal experiences and giving insight to how she battled with many challenges that inspired her to look at the way our hormones function from a nutritional aspect. Intrigued to learn more I purchased her book - The Balance Plan - Six ways to Optimise your Hormonal Health, at the quaint little book stall. The second half of the book focuses on recipe ideas to support her findings in the book. An interesting read that I have already recommended it to a number of friends and family!
Jo Fairley, co - author of The Beauty Bible, one of the first ever books I was bought, hosted a talk with Anjali Mahto, author of The Skincare Bible and Angelique Panagos dispelling beauty myths and embracing skin positivity. They spoke about different ingredients and how effective they are at penetrating the skin. The importance of knowing your active ingredients and in what form you should be applying them. The hour talk flew by I could have easily listened to them all day and soak up their knowledge. It has inspired the focuses of some of my upcoming journal entries, so keep a look out for those.
I can not wait for next years event now, and who they will have from the beauty and skincare industry to do their inspirational key talks!
