Whether it’s a potent oil that elevates your spirit, a blended formula that promotes mental clarity or culinary essential oils you rely on to enhance your recipes, you will find your companion in wellness.

These tacos are fresh and perfect for a delicious light lunch or a fun family dinner. There are a few steps but it all comes together easily once prepped. We recommend making the mayo sauce and salsa before you cook the prawns. It’s fun to set everything up and let everyone assemble their own, especially for a gathering or family dinner.

Chocolate and mint are the perfect combination. The peppermint essential oil gives a vibrant and fresh pop of mint flavour in the smoothie. Young Living’s Pure Protein Complete adds even more of a nutritional kick and it tastes great too.

Taking a break from drinking alcohol during July? There isn’t a better time to commit to lowering your alcohol intake, particularly when Giesen has just launched a 0% wine range that is full of flavour and made from their finest New Zealand Wines. Its sell-out 0% Sauvignon Blanc also includes a Rosé, Pinot Gris and a Merlot – something for everyone’s tastes. 

It is always best to use fresh ingredients in your cooking where you can, but in a busy life, sometimes you just don’t have them on hand. Maybe you haven’t had time to get your fresh veg or perhaps you just forgot because the day was so busy. On those occasions, frozen food from the freezer can be a blessing.

Follow these tips to make sure you get the best-tasting brownie: use the right size browning tin — 20cm x 20cm — and don’t overbake your brownie.

I always keep chicken wings in my freezer; they are the ultimate weeknight dinner or fun weekend fare. As long as you have staple marinating ingredients in your pantry and chicken wings in the freezer, you will always have a tasty dinner!

Grab a handful of frozen ingredients and you can have lunches for a week or an easy dinner. Flaky and crispy pastry is wrapped around a filling of cheesy vegetables in a moreish dish that is straight outta the freezer.

Stir-fry is a huge favourite in our house, but I loathe the hour of prep time it takes to cut up all of those vegetables for a “quick meal”, not to mention remembering to buy them all! Using a bag of stir-fry vegetables and frozen pineapple means you can have this delicious sweet and spicy stir-fry on the table in a fraction of the time – without a four-page shopping list!
