UCook have menu two options available for Valentines Day: *The Vegetarian Box; which includes a starter of Tomato, Red Pepper & Camembert Bruschetta, followed by a main of Fig, Almond and Goat’s Cheese Salad, rounded off with a Marbled Raspberry Cheesecake. *The Non-vegetarian Box option boasts the same starter and desserts as the vegetarian box, but with the main course being a fragrant Sundried Tomato and Artichoke stuffed Chicken, with Herbed Potatoes. The UCook Valentines boxes above cost R545 for the vegetarian option and R595 for the meat option. These prices also include a bar of Honest Chocolate and a bottle of wine (red or white).

Start Your Journey to Financial Wellness with Multiply & Win!

Multiply Financial Wellness

Your Journey to Financial Wellness with Multiply

Hello lovely readers you may have read a post recently, where I discussed how important Financial Wellness is – if not please pop over and have a read! I know that some people would rather be doing something else, other than talking finances but it is vital to know where your future is headed! It is a New Year after all, so no better time to sort out finances and take charge of your financial well-being!

Multiply Rewards Wellness

One of the first things we did as a family, to start 2015 off on a positive note, was to sort out our budget. This is something which we have never been very good at doing. It was also one of the things, after completing the Multiply Wellness assessment, which was highlighted as a weak point for me! I must admit it felt great going through the process and having some sort of plan for the year ahead. We have also informed our girls, aged 11 and 13, of how budgeting works and the benefits of having a budget – you are never too young to start your journey to Financial Wellness!

Multiply, the wellness and rewards programme offered by Momentum, identifies that there are eight dimensions of wellness, which are:

  • Occupational wellness: enjoying your work environment, and feeling valued there.
  • Emotional wellness: understanding your feelings and coping well with stress.
  • Spiritual wellness: developing a set of values that help you seek meaning and purpose.
  • Environmental wellness: respecting the delicate balance between the environment and yourself.
  • Physical wellness: maintaining a healthy body, and seeking medical care when you’re ill or injured.
  • Social wellness: performing social roles effectively and comfortably and creating a support network.
  • Intellectual wellness: having an open mind to new ideas, and continuing to expand your knowledge.
  • Financial wellness: having the financial security to manage day-to-day expenses, and plan for long-term needs or unexpected life events

None of these dimensions are more important than the other, and paying due attention to them is likely to lead to ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity’ (World Health Organisation).

Multiply

To help encourage you to find out more about your financial wellness, the kind folk over at Multiply have decided to give away an awesome R2500 Dis-Chem Voucher, to one lucky reader. This will in-turn help keep your body healthy, while they concentrate on your financial well-being. The first step on your journey to Financial Wellness, is to pop over to the Momentum Website and complete the Wellness Assessment. Once you have completed this please leave a comment about your  results below, sharing your #MultiplyScore.

Once you have completed your assessment and commented below this post, please share the competition either on Facebook or Twitter. {please remember to let me know where you have shared below}

To recap:

  • Complete the Multiply Wellness Assessment. {Follow the link create a profile on the Momentum website, if you do not already have one. Login then Click ‘My Financial Wellness’ then click the ‘My Score’ tab. Please complete all eight surveys provided on the tool. Once you have completed the assessment, the tool will produce a report for you, highlighting the areas of your financial well-being that need attention.}

CocoZone Stay Healthy this Summer & Win!

Cocozone Coconut water

{Entries are Closed}

Stay Healthy with Cocozone

You may remember a post I did a while ago on The Health Benefits of Coconut. Coconut has been a staple dietary source for medicine and food of Pacific Islanders for thousands of years. They are among the healthiest and longest living people in the world, due to their healthy diet. Their healthy diet helps protect them against heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other degenerative conditions.

Coconut Water

I love coconut and use it often in cooking or even as a snack when I have a sweet craving and don’t want to dip into the chocolate! It is also my favourite ice cream flavour! Another way of enjoying the goodness of this amazing fruit is by drinking Cocozone, 100% pure coconut water.

Cocozone Coconut water

During the summer months, there are many things to keep in mind to ensure that your health is at an optimal level. CocoZone, 100% pure coconut water (the latest ‘big thing’ in the world of health drinks) offers a few tips to keep you healthy and happy this summer:

Keep hydrated

With temperatures reaching soaring heights in our South African summers, it is absolutely crucial for you to stay hydrated as dehydration may lead to fatigue, increased thirst and headaches. CocoZone is three times more hydrating than water, making hydration simple this summer. CocoZone is a natural source of electrolytes, and contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium – all of which contribute to making it the ultimate form of hydration and keep you full of energy so that you get the most out of life.

Exercise

As we welcome the warmer summer months, exercise becomes a daily part of our routine. Whether you are visiting the beach, hiking up a mountain or even gardening this summer, ensure that you keep a Tetra Pak of CocoZone by your side as it contains more potassium than found in two bananas – critical for muscle contraction, generating energy and also to counteract hypertension.

Control consumption

Ensuring you keep your body beach-ready this summer is easy with CocoZone. Avoid the urge to indulge in sugary drinks to quench the thirst – CocoZone is a natural, caffeine-free alternative to sugary, caffeine-loaded soft drinks, is fat and cholesterol free and is always pure and never from a concentrate – nothing is added or taken away in its journey from the coconut to you.

Avoid the summer flu

With the change of season, many of us tend to catch the dreaded ‘summer flu’. Give your immune system a boost with CocoZone, which contains natural ingredients that support healthy immune system functioning. The natural ingredients found in coconut water promote health and overall well-being when consumed regularly in a number of ways.

CocoZone coconut water is deliciously refreshing on its own, but can also be used to make tasty, healthy smoothies. This 100% pure coconut water is a healthy, low-calorie alternative to sugary drinks and the perfect thirst-quencher for summer. What are you waiting for? Keep yourself and your family healthy and hydrated with CocoZone.

I thought a great way to start off the new year and get healthy is by giving 2 lucky readers the chance to try CocoZone coconut water for themselves! We are giving away 2 six packs of CocoZone coconut water! All you need to do to enter is follow the simple steps below! Please remember to leave a comment telling me you have entered and where {e.g. around the pool, at the beach or after a run} you are going to enjoy your Cocozone Coconut Water this summer!
