SHAKE YOUR WAY PAST 5 A-DAY WITH FOGA’S PLANTSHAKES
FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM
It’s time to discover the easiest way to soar past your 5-a-day, with the launch of FOGA Plantshakes, a delicious range of instant whole plant smoothies made from freeze-dried fruits and vegetables.
Created to help busy people ensure their diets are rich in a diverse range of whole plants, FOGA Plantshakes are a convenient and delicious way to up your plant intake, which is scientifically proven to help you feel better.*
Fed up with ready-made smoothies which are really just sugary juices, FOGA use whole (mainly organic) freeze dried produce that preserves all the gut boosting fibre and energising vitamins of fresh fruit and vegetables. FOGA’s blends focus as much on flavour as nutrition, creating delicious and nutritious smoothies for people looking to boost their diet and improve health and energy levels. Shake a pouch with water or your favourite milk for a smoothie you’d think you made in a blender.
FOGA believe that the food we eat should grow, and as such have created a range which includes no juices, sweeteners, or anything artificial. Each of the 13 mouth-watering blends, which include Peach & Cayenne, Beetroot & Ginger and Kiwi & Greens will enhance your fruit and vegetable intake in a matter of minutes.
Whether you want to enjoy them as a mid-morning snack, or to energise pre or post workout, FOGA Plantshakes contain just 100 calories* per 250ml serving, and are conveniently portioned into 30g pouches, perfect for keeping in your bag or at your desk.
Packed full of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to optimise your health and wellbeing, a box of 10 Plantshakes boasts as many as 24 different fruit and vegetables. Each pouch contains about two portions of whole fruit and vegetables, as well as seeds, spices, superfoods and adaptogens. Build your own box and select your favourite flavours, and either opt for a one-off box, or subscribe for a regular supply which the whole family can enjoy.
Brimming with health benefits, FOGA uses the same freeze-drying process as NASA to preserve the full nutritional content of each ingredient, including the important micronutrients, phytochemicals and polyphenols, from the moment the fruit and vegetables are flash frozen at harvest. This innovative process ensures that each pouch is more nutritious than a regular shop bought smoothie, or even the fruit and vegetables you buy from the supermarket and avoids any unnecessary wastage, helping to reduce the 7 million tonnes of food wasted in UK homes each year.
Believing that businesses should be a force for good, FOGA includes a pre-paid envelope in every box so that used pouches can be sent back and recycled, ensuring nothing goes to landfill. Additionally, when you sign up to FOGA’s mailing list you will have a tree planted on your behalf in an area affected by deforestation, making that all important step towards offsetting the impact of their deliveries.

The winter months are coming, and for many this means weeks and weeks of dry, irritated skin, and applying enormous amounts of creams with no visible effect.
Mesotherapy has been long considered a go-to treatment for skin rejuvenation, but another, possibly even bigger benefit, is that several sessions of the Mesotherapy can leave the skin glowing and hydrated for weeks. Dr.Numb, the leading topical anesthetic cream brand, explores the benefits of the treatment and the precautions that need to be taken.
The aggressive environmental factors, like cold wind, rain and snow, result in that the skin starts looking dull and gets overly dry, which may lead to irritations. The creams and serums penetrate only the upper layers of skin, which in case of extreme dryness is simply not enough.
This is when the mesotherapy comes in. This skin treatment uses a cocktail of products, such as hyaluronic acid, to improve different aspects of the skin. For long-lasting hydratation effect, it is usually recommended to take a course of 4 sessions on a weekly basis. The treatment then can be repeated after several months to maintain the effect.
During the treatment, the cocktail is injected into the skin at around 1mm depth using a needle or a mesogun. This drastically improves the effect of the active ingredients, first because they are delivered to the optimal depth for a skin to absorb, and secondly because slight poking of the skin provokes the production of collagen, which enhances the overall rejuvenating effect.
What are the risks?
In general, mesotherapy is referred as a safe procedure, although just as any skincare treatment that involves injections or skin poking, some extra safety measures need to be taken.
Before the start of the treatment, the skin needs to be thoroughly disinfected to prevent any possibility of the inflammation. Dr.Numb Disinfectant Foam Soap has a balanced formula of 4% Lidocaine, 0.25% of Benzethonium Chloride and other inactive ingredients. It contains cleansing and anti-infective properties to wash away dirt and bacteria, to prevent any kind of skin infection, making it even better than just being clean
After the skin was disinfected, the numbing cream needs to be applied to the whole area. The injection process can be a bit painful, and keeping in mind the aesthetician will make several hundreds of those microscopic injections, the topical anesthetic is a must. The strong formula of Dr.Numb Numbing Cream makes effect already after 10-20 minutes, and can last for up to an hour.
The aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself: at the end of the session, the aesthetician will apply a healing cream and strong SPF cream and consult on any aftercare precautions.
new razr: reinvention of an icon
available exclusively with EE in the UK
For immediate release, 14th November 2019: Motorola unveils an evolution of the iconic flippable cell phone that marked a generation: RAZR, a fashion icon that defined a part of pop culture. The new motorola razrTM is the first-ever clamshell-style flexible display smartphone that, impossibly, folds completely, bringing an instantly familiar yet totally unique, mobile consumer experience. The new razr will be available in the UK to consumers via an exclusive partnership with EE.
Motorola set out to understand how flexible screens could improve the way people use their smartphones. So, Motorola developed and tested over 20 different prototypes during initial consumer research phases. As it turns out, the clamshell design we all know and love was the perfect solution. It addresses a real consumers pain point, portability, without compromising the big screen experience consumers highly value.
Motorola razr brings style and craftsmanship to smartphones in a new way. Constructed utilising premium stainless steel and 3D Gorilla Glass, the outer shell is protective yet premium in-hand. Like the original RAZR, the new motorola razr is slim and sleek, avoiding stark contrast in colours and materials so as to not detract from the seamless design.
During the development of razr, when the limitations of available technology stood in the way, Motorola created its own path. It architected an industry first, patent-protected zero-gap hinge that allows both sides of the customised polymer flexible display system to remain perfectly flush when closed and protects the display from debris and dust; it re-engineered antenna’s to fit in a space twice as small as today’s smartphones; and coated the device to offer water resistance and splash-proof protection 1. With this breakthrough engineering approach and design it is ushering in the next stage of mobility.
As smartphones get bigger and bigger, razr’s going compact. When you need a more immersive experience, the 6.2-inch Flex View display with 21:9 aspect ratio offers the functionality you’re used to. When it’s time to go, simply flip razr shut and enjoy its sleek, portable design that makes it the perfect size to slip in your pocket.
On razr’s external 2.7-inch interactive Quick View display, you can interact with important information on the go, making it easy to stay connected while remaining present in the moment. You can make calls, reply to messages, pay with a tap, control your music, take stunning selfies, use Google assistant and access customised settings, like turning on or off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, your Hotspot and more, all without ever opening your phone.
Enjoy a totally new and unique smartphone experience that you simply can’t get anywhere else. The iconic brand, breakthrough technology and stylish design make razr the upgraded smartphone experience you need. Motorola razr is the smartphone that finally brings back that satisfying feeling of hanging up your phone by flipping it closed once again.
EE is the UK’s biggest and fastest 4G network providing superfast speeds in more places than any other – so it is the perfect match for the new razr. EE’s award-winning network offers advanced network functionality which will help razr customers make the most from their smartphone, including features such as WiFi Calling and 4G Calling as well as eSIM support. EE also offers Smart Plans that provide customers with a wide array of Swappable benefits such as Amazon Prime Video, BT Sport and the Roam Further Pass as well as Service Packs which include an annual device and account MOT.
Sharon Meadows, Director of Devices, Partnerships & Business Development, at EE “As the UK’s number one network, we always look to provide customers with the latest technology and experiences – whether that’s the fastest speeds, or ground-breaking smartphones. By partnering with Motorola on the new razr, our customers will get exclusive access to what already promises to be an iconic new smartphone. Only on EE will customers get the most out of the new razr with the UK’s best network, best in class unlimited plans and great swappable benefits.”

Baum says “her goal is to share lessons that she has learned throughout her career with others so they can learn about those subtle mistakes that can determine their future- the things others won’t tell you, but definitely notice.” She wrote the book to share common small mistakes that people make that prevent them from being successful and to emphasize the fact that our body language and most importantly behavior can have a major impact on how we are perceived by others.
She has spent years serving in leadership roles and teaching leadership to high potential employees on their way to the C Suite. She is a certified protocol and etiquette consultant and has run programs on perfecting your professional image, leadership and executive coaching, how to succeed in the international arena, and dining at the corporate table. She has also led programs for young adults including interviewing and job skills and etiquette and dining programs for children and teens.
Baum states “the book profiles the personality types you inevitably will encounter on your path to success and offers practical solutions to responding to them. Additionally, she sees the book as an indispensable guide to those just starting out in the business world and for those already in the workforce. It’s an accessible, warm and friendly way to identify the common character mistakes that can make or break relationships.
Readers will discover how to:
· Be perceived as sincere and trustworthy
· Empower your team for greater success
· Help team members take accountability for their actions
· Encourage others to listen to your perspective
· Present your best, most professional self.
Facts, data and technical knowledge are only one set of factors that lead to success. Equally crucial is your behavior and how it is perceived by others. “It take time, patience and practice to get it right, but once you have mastered it, your career path is wide open” says Baum.
