This year I turn 40, and honestly, I want to become the best version of myself,in all aspects, but especially physically. As a mum of three, my goal is simple: to be as healthy and strong as I can be so I can watch them grow, keep up with them, and be here for as long as possible.
I have started Self-Care Sundays, where I slow things down, plan the week ahead, have a proper pamper session, stick something easy on Netflix, and just take time out for me. No guilt. Just reset.
I train at the gym regularly, lifting heavy is my absolute favourite. Strength training gives me confidence, makes me feel powerful, and honestly does wonders for my mental health. Add in a few spin classes, and I feel my gym split is perfect.
I’ve also swapped doom scrolling for reading. Something that genuinely fills my cup rather than drains it. One book that I loved was I took her first by Samantha Hayes.
At the start of 2026, I started making my own turmeric shots, and I’ve had one every single morning since. The health benefits are endless: anti-inflammatory support, immune health, digestion, energy, all the good stuff.
Batch-making them on the weekend sets me up perfectly for the week ahead and makes mornings feel that little bit easier.
Are there times when life gets busy, and I just can't be bothered with cleaning the blender?
Absolutely!!
That is where The Turmeric Co. comes in.
I was kindly sent a batch of The Turmeric Co. shots, and I am officially hooked.
They make fresh, cold-pressed turmeric shots using real, whole ingredients, no added sugar, no preservatives, no nasties.
What I love most is the variety. There’s genuinely something for everyone, depending on what your body needs:
Turmeric Original, a classic daily wellness shot
Turmeric & Ginger, perfect for recovery and inflammation
Turmeric & Beetroot, great for performance and endurance
Turmeric with Vitamin C & D3, ideal for immune support
Plus mixed boxes if, like me, you want a bit of everything
Each shot contains a huge amount of fresh raw turmeric root, so you are still getting that powerful hit, just without the prepping!.
They don’t replace my homemade shots forever, but they are an amazing alternative when life gets hectic and busy, and as a mum of three, hectic is basically my default setting :)
I've seen so many of these drink shots and really think that I need to look into some for myself as I need to take better care of myself. Definitely something for me to look into x
ReplyDeleteI've been reading a lot about the health benefits of turmeric, and there are a ton of them. Having turmeric shots seems practical and helps with better absorption. I will check the Turmeric Co. shots package, it is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have to get this! I'm a BIG believer in turmeric, and I love how Best Shot combines it with other ingredients for better effect.
ReplyDeleteI've known about Turmeric Co for a while now as the CEO of the company is an Welsh ex-footballer, so I'm all for Welsh-run businesses! I like that this is a great alternative to what you normally use. I wouldn't be able to try these as one of the medications I take for my illness prevents me from having anything with turmeric in. But it sounds like these shots work for you and I like they have a variety of flavours!
ReplyDelete40 always gets here before you know it. It's imporant to take are of you.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see that you have a completely positive outlook towards turning 40. Being healthy is critical for people of any age in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMy partner loves taking turmeric shots. They can really boost your immune system.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of turmeric and beetroot before. Is that special edition? Where can I find it?
