If you’re searching for a salon that combines the power of nature with personalised care, look no further than GA Salons. Their philosophy is rooted in a profound understanding of natural, curative products, and they truly stand out in an industry dominated by harsh chemicals. At GA Salons, the emphasis is on nurturing your hair rather than masking its problems.

What sets GA Salons apart is their dedication to using 100% natural and organic ingredients. Each of their 20 signature blends is crafted from a rich assortment of herbs, roots, and flowers, ensuring that your hair receives nothing but the best. But it doesn’t stop there—GA Salons takes personalisation to the next level by tailoring each blend to your unique hair type and needs, providing a bespoke service as individual as you are.

The staff are experts in their craft and passionate about helping you achieve beautiful, healthy hair that continues to improve over time.

The real magic of GA Salons lies in the results. Unlike traditional methods that can weaken your hair and create a cycle of dependency on treatments, GA’s approach strengthens your hair naturally. Over time, you’ll notice your hair becoming healthier, more luxurious and easier to manage. It’s a commitment to long-term beauty that is both refreshing and effective.

Roast Potato Seasoning, Just Spices

Who doesn’t love a great roastie?! When done properly, golden brown and crispy on the outside, fluffy and steaming hot on the inside, well they are a thing of absolute perfection. Excitingly, the brilliant Just Spices, have taken things up a notch – when you thought roast potatoes couldn’t get any better, well they can!

Newly launched into Tesco stores, and available on the Just Spices website is the (in our mind) ultimate Roast Potato Seasoning. Filled with bucketloads of flavours, think fenugreek, garlic, paprika, fennel, nutmeg, and so many more carefully crafted spices, this is an absolute winner.

Just sprinkle over the potatoes towards the end of cooking for a roast potato experience you’ll never forget.

The team at Just Spices are well known for creating delicious, natural, spice blends for everything from avocado on toast, to spaghetti bolognese. They know how to add layers of wonderful flavour to every dish, sweet or savoury. With four other spice blends just launched into Tesco stores (Avocado Topping; Chicken Seasoning; Vegetable Seasoning and Egg Topping) and an array of spice blends available directly from their website, we advise you run, don’t walk!!

The Mum Ribbon Movement, Pippeta

Breastfeeding advocate and celebrity mum of two Ferne McCann is currently working with breastfeeding accessories brand, Pippeta, and supports the company’s continuation of The Mum Ribbon Movement (created by @annamathur ).

Pippeta invites all families from all walks of life to participate in its Mum Ribbon Movement by tying a ribbon in a meaningful location – a handbag or pram, (for example), sharing stories on social media with the hashtag #PippetaMumRibbonMovement, together with tagging @mypippeta and @annamathur, in order to facilitate strong and supportive community.

Driving the message that breastfeeding should not be ‘just about mums’, the brand intends to expand the ribbon’s influence to encourage partners, grandparents, wider family members, friends and caregivers to show support, share experiences and encourage connections.
