Exclusive interview with the Samantha Taylor: who started Life retreat and the Lifestyle shop online, which is like a personal shopping store. The products range from yoga mats, skin products and the latest fashion! Samantha has also recently started a Life Retreat studio at Lourensford wine estate; the events include yoga & wine evenings, yoga classes, meditation, and more.
Here is what Taylor had to say about a healthy lifestyle and her favorite health product!
What made you decide to start a healthy and lifestyle blog?
For many years I did a lot of research on how to use natural products for various things, instead of putting harmful chemicals in or on my body. I learnt a lot and wanted to share my tips and tricks with other people.
What do you think are the benefits of a healthy lifestyle?
Living a balanced, healthy lifestyle is essential in this day in age. We are surrounded by so many unhealthy habits and letting yourself go can happen over night. Having said this I don’t believe it is necessary to be so hard on yourself, you must still enjoy the essence of being able to indulge here and there. Benefits of living a healthy lifestyle include: less stress, more happiness!
Which product do you highly recommend that everyone needs?
Coconut Oil ! This is my absolute favourite product that will never ‘go out of fashion.’ I use it for pretty much everything from cooking, to baking, hair treatments, body lotion, cleaning detergent and many more. It has so many beautiful uses that could benefit you in your daily life.
Visit Life Retreat online, and embrace a fresh start into a healthy and exciting new lifestyle!
