Stress affects all of us in different ways and at different times. Whether it’s work, money, family, health (or, for our ancestors, being chased by a Tyrannosaurus rex!), stress has been part of our lives since, well, life began.
The good news is that because we’re so familiar with stress, we’ve also discovered lots of healthy ways to manage it. One way is with supplements.
October 10 helps to raise awareness of mental wellbeing on a global scale, encouraging dialogue and reducing stigma around mental health disorders. It highlights the fact that our minds need as much care and attention as the rest of our bodies, and that we all need to take time out for ourselves every now and then.
Going on a trip? Let's get you packed up!
With the world fully opened up for exploration once again, we Kiwis have been busy making up for lost time.
Whether you’re heading out of town, across the country, or to a different country altogether, a well-packed backpack can make all the difference to your trip. You don’t want to leave anything out, but you also don’t want to be weighed down by ‘stuff’.... and it can be tricky to get the balance just right!
No matter how big or small your household, a home first aid kit is a must. Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere - especially if you’ve got little ones about (or sports people, chefs, DIY enthusiasts… the list goes on!)
A well-equipped first aid kit means you can deal quickly with minor mishaps like cuts, burns, grazes, sprains, and strains, without having to rush off to the pharmacy. And the faster you can tend to an injury, the better.
First aid can also be invaluable in more serious situations such as natural disasters or medical emergencies, especially if there’s a wait for professional help.
So, now that you know you need one, what should you put in it?
Birthday, anniversary, Christmas, baby shower, or some other special occasion coming up? A gift set is a wonderful way to say that you care. (And, let’s face it - it makes your life easier, too!)
The great thing about a gift set is that all the hard work is done for you. Your recipient gets a selection of items all beautifully packaged together. From skincare and makeup gifts to luxury fragrance sets, Bargain Chemist has something to suit.
You’ll find these and other no-fail gift sets at Bargain Chemist. Check us out instore or online and take the hard work out of spoiling someone!
Need a natural mood boost?
Something to calm your mind? Invigorate your senses?
Or just help with cleaning the bathtub?
There’s an essential oil for that!
From the zesty to the herbaceous, the woody to the floral, essential oils have been rousing our olfactory glands for some five thousand years. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans were among the first to recognise essential oils for their aromatic and therapeutic properties and make them a part of their everyday lives. Various oils were used in religious ceremonies, as perfumes, in beauty rituals, and for their medicinal benefits.
Sleepness nights can make the days downright exhausting. Sleep is as necessary as food, air, and water: in other words, you can’t do without it. Your body needs a certain amount of solid rest every night in order to carry out its restorative functions.
While we all have the odd “bad” night, chronic lack of sleep can be severely detrimental to your physical and mental health. It can affect your productivity, relationships, learning, memory, and overall quality of life. That’s where some good sleep support tablets (the plant-based kind) can come in handy. So, if you’re struggling to get enough snooze time each night and looking for the best sleep supplement made with natural ingredients, read on.
The chilly, rainy, blowy winter season is here. It’s also the achy, sneezy, scratchy season!
As the cold and damp sets in, so too do winter health issues. Coughs, colds, winter flu, stiff joints, dry skin, low immune function - to name a few.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. A little care and attention to your wellbeing can make all the difference. Read on for some great wellness tips that can make these dull months of the year a little brighter - and healthier!
If there’s anything that makes a cold winter even less fun, it’s winter skin!
While we often think of summer as being the harshest season for skin, the winter months are no kinder. In fact, winter is the prime season for dehydration! We’re talking about itchy, dry, and irritated skin that results from cold air outdoors and heated air indoors. Fireplaces, central heating, wood-burning stoves, other indoor heating appliances all reduce the moisture in the air. The resulting dryness and irritation can affect all areas of the body, causing acne, chapped lips, windburn, and cracked heels.
Pregnancy is an exciting time in a woman’s life. Your body will feel like it’s changing every week - and it is! White many of these changes are going on internally, it’s the physical ones you’ll be most aware of. Like your baby bump! These and other physical changes are to prepare your body for the growing baby and the birth.
Good news: there are lots of ways you can support your skin health and elasticity during pregnancy. Let’s take a look at some great foods and moisturisers!
Trying to manage your weight?
Not getting the results you want?
For some of us, managing our weight can feel like a boring and unending battle. We follow a diet religiously and perhaps even get some results, but then we go back to eating normally and … the weight creeps back on. Pretty discouraging, right?
Long days, late nights, endless to-do lists, people to care for… is it any wonder that we sometimes forget to look after ourselves properly? Or that we feel run down from time to time?
Modern life can really take its toll on your health. Depending on your daily schedule, there may be all sorts of commitments and distractions that can get in the way of eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep. It’s in these cases that a multivitamin can help.
