I you’re still not entirely convinced that the plant based diet is for you and think red meat is life, especially when it comes to building muscle and keeping lean, hold on a sec – just take a look at these vegan bodybuilders that prove you don’t need meat to bulk up.

Are you a mum of someone that falls into this all-important age group? Maybe your youngster is starting to experience the “joys” of oiliness and pimples? Getting an easy, healthy skincare regime down pat is paramount and can start teaching some great habits nice and early.

If only we were all blessed with perfectly clear skin—not a blemish, dry patch, or red spot in sight!
