You know me, I will never tell you a product is perfect if it isn’t, partner or not. So today, I’m giving you my honest opinion on my Prozis pick of the month, a little bit of indulgence, a little bit of care, a little bit of well-being. I’m actually sipping a delicious collagen creamer with oat milk, a touch of cocoa and pecan pieces, as I talk to you. A little reminder close to my heart, the brand is Portuguese, everything is made in Porto, and the value for money remains one of the best in Europe. Let’s go.
Well-being, managing stress and sleep
Let’s start with what interests me most right now, calm.
Ginkgo biloba and ashwagandha
I’m quite a stressed person, I find it hard to relax, so I look for gentle alternatives. I took a course of ginkgo biloba, known to help with calm, and I already use ashwagandha powder, which I slip into a golden milk, oat milk, turmeric, cinnamon, a pinch of pepper. The taste isn’t extraordinary on its own, but prepared this way it goes down very well, and for the past few days, I have been sleeping noticeably better. I take it at the end of the day so as not to weigh down my productivity.
Skincare, looking after your skin at gentle prices
On to cosmetics, an area where I keep things simple.
The face cream that changes everything
I have dry, tight skin, and I was using a face cream from a French brand at twenty-five euros a jar. I found the vitamin C equivalent for under ten euros, with the same result on my skin, so the switch was quickly made. I have also adopted a collagen body cream and a shea butter, and I admit, the conditioner for coloured hair blew me away, I hadn’t felt my hair this soft in a long time.
Indulgence, smarter alternatives
And because I’m a real foodie, I tend to swap rather than deprive myself.
Burger buns, granola and cookies
Cereal burger buns, more protein-rich and less sugary than the classics, for a homemade burger without the guilt, my forever choco-hazelnut granola and its apple-cinnamon muesli version, and my creamy cookies, bigger and more protein-rich than their famous cousin. Not forgetting the Brazil nuts and premium peanuts for little cravings. Pleasure, but thought through.
My opinion, unfiltered
So there’s my pick of the month and my sincere take, between what I love and what wins me over less. Deep down, taking care of yourself is also about listening to what truly suits you, and daring to say it. My code is CAROFIT10 for -10% across the whole site, combinable with the current offers, I leave it with you with no pressure.
