I was six months postpartum and ready to prioritise my health again. I needed something to get me back to lifting weights, eating more protein and fibre and feeling comfortable in my new body, post two babies. I had heard about Everlab from my best friend and so I decided to start there. My goals […]

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month, Oil Garden shares how to take control of your hair health. Let’s speak about something rarely given the space it deserves: hair loss in women.

I’d been walking past it for weeks. The grey linen MV Skintherapy beauty bag sitting quietly on my bathroom bench, patient and unhurried in a way that I absolutely was not. Every night I’d glance at it and think, tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll do it. Tomorrow when I’m less tired, when my baby goes down earlier, […]

What’s not top of mind for many people is that a number of familiar daily struggles are classic signs of iron deficiency. Persistent fatigue, restless sleep, anxious moods, palpitations, brain fog, heavy periods, hair loss, joint aches and mood swings — which we tend to normalise as just part of being human in the modern […]
