Boots stocking 'delicious' plant protein powder to help women 'strengthen and tone' muscle

Daily Recorda day ago
Tammy Hembrow, Emilee Hembrow and Amy Hembrow are three Australian sisters who have made a name for themselves as fitness and wellness influencers - and they've just launched a new supplement range exclusive to Boots
Fitness isn't always just about hitting the gym or what we eat. Supplements and protein powders have long been popular with health buffs, but finding formulas that specifically support women's exercise routines, fitness goals, and general wellbeing has previously proven difficult.
However, a new female-founded fitness brand has just launched at Boots , making products designed by women, for women, more accessible. Aussie influencers, the Hembrow sisters - Tammy, Emilee, and Amy - have made a worldwide name for themselves in the fitness, wellness, and motherhood spheres, with their brand Selfish, now available on the high street.
Selfish markets itself as innovative sports nutrition for genuine women living real lives. Every item aims to assist women with their health and fitness journey, with protein being a cornerstone product in the fresh collection, featuring a Give Me Protein Water - which eliminates the hassle (and chaos) of thick protein shakes.
Internationally celebrated fitness personality Tammy explained the brand's philosophy, saying: "Fitness isn't just about hitting PBs or dropping dress sizes. It's about showing up for you."
The refreshing and rapidly-absorbed vegan Give Me Protein Water provides a moisturising hit of broken-down plant protein for strength building, muscle definition and recovery. Offered in VeryBerry and Tropical Crush varieties, the 300g container supplies 15 portions, reports Wales Online.
This product is acclaimed for promoting muscle tone, strength and repair, as well as fulfilling daily protein requirements. It offers a comprehensive amino acid profile, featuring lean hydrolysed plant protein in a non-gritty, rapidly-absorbing formula.
Another protein offering, Give Me Plant Protein, priced at £24.65, is characterised as a luxurious, smooth vegan protein powder that delivers 20g of lean plant protein per serving.
Available in French Vanilla and Rich Chocolate flavours, it's designed to assist women with strength, toning, and post-exercise recovery. For best results, users simply blend or shake one scoop into 250ml of water and consume post-workout, or whenever a protein boost is required.
For those exploring alternatives to mainstream brands, the Impact Whey Protein Powder from My Protein is priced at £13.99. It comes in various flavours and provides a significant 23g of protein per scoop.
There's also the Wellwoman Vitabiotics Wellwoman 50+ 30 Tablets available at Holland and Barrett for £10.49. This is an excellent choice for vegetarians looking to support their brain, heart, and vision health.
The Selfish brand boasts an impressive 4.9 out of five star review score on its website. As one reviewer noted: "I have tried so many gut powders and they all taste so gross. I have been taking this for the last week and am obsessed with the flavour. It's also really helped with my bloating. Love it."
Another said: "As someone who has tried a lot of vegan and plant proteins out there, this is by far the best. Both the vanilla and chocolate taste amazing in smoothies or just with water and ice. No chalky texture at all. I have it every day."
However, not every customer review was entirely glowing: "One scoop is a bit too selfish. It needs a couple for it to really make a difference in taste."
Another shared: "I've had this for just over a week, and I've been sipping it straight after lunch when I need that sweet hit. I find that it fills me up and takes away the craving. Also, it's completely delicious."
For ladies seeking to enhance their hectic, dynamic lifestyles, Selfish's collection of supplements crafted specifically for women might just be the ideal answer.

Shoppers race to buy 'magic' item with 8,000 strong waitlist: 'It's giving five-star hotel vibes'

Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more A 'sultry and provocative' new fragrance - so hotly anticipated it amassed a waitlist of 8,000 shoppers before its release - has just launched, to the delight of its eager fans. Aussie brand Recreation Beauty has taken the fragrance world by storm with the release of its sought-after new perfume, aptly named L'HÔTEL. The clean fragrance wasn't even on shelves yet when customers began pleading with the brand to find out when it would be available to buy. During its recent EOFY sale, Recreation Beauty teased fans with its new 'magic' scent by including samples of L'HÔTEL as a gift with purchase - a genius marketing move that sparked overwhelming demand. 'The best perfume scent I've ever smelled,' one shopper who received an early sample enthused - adding that they were 'setting an alarm to buy it.' Another fan compared the new fragrance to a high-end brand priced at $350, saying: 'I'm very picky but the L'HÔTEL is one of the best vanilla scents I've smelled, definitely the best 'clean beauty' vanilla. Hands down my favourite.' The day has finally arrived, and the new release - described as a modern floral vanilla fragrance, that is 'equal parts sophisticated and sweet' - is already selling fast. Priced at $124 for a 50mL bottle or $49 for a 12mL travel size, L'HÔTEL features top notes of whipped bergamot and velvety peony, layered with warm Tahitian vanilla, sun-drenched woods and a soft musky rose that lingers from day into night. L'HÔTEL 50mL by Recreation Inspired by the sensuality of a luxury hotel, this floral vanilla fragrance features top notes of whipped bergamot, musky rose and velvety peony. Heart notes of creamy Tahitian vanilla with sandalwood and cedarwood meet a seductive base of musk and amber. $124 'I wanted to create a luxury scent that feels like being wrapped in a cloud of pure, gorgeous indulgence. If L'HÔTEL was a celebrity, she would be Sabrina Carpenter - all sexy and soft, super glam and so luxe,' Recreation Beauty founder Nedahl Stelio told Daily Mail Australia. 'It's the kind of scent you want to wear in a hotel with fluffy slippers while drinking champagne, it's so delicious. L'HÔTEL was born from the idea that a scent can transport you - just like an incredible hotel. 'I wanted to capture that feeling of stepping into a beautiful space that's chic, luxe and a little bit mysterious. It's inspired by that luxurious feeling you can only get from a five-star hotel - that undone glamour you find in the world's most divine places. 'It's not just a perfume: it's a mood, a memory, a moment you want to stay in forever.' Not only does L'HÔTEL smell 'divine' but Nedahl also said the price point makes it affordable compared to designer brands on the market. 'We create our perfumes with world renowned perfumers so they are incredibly premium. You're getting a designer quality fragrance that is also clean,' she said. 'There are no nasties in our perfumes which means you can spray all over and feel good about wearing fragrance. And it's a gorgeous pinky purple colour, we wanted to recreate that luxury hotel room feeling in a bottle - and it really does that.' The former magazine editor said she couldn't believe the waitlist the perfume attracted in the weeks leading up to its launch. 'We're an Australian brand battling it out in a sea of giant designer brands, it's surreal to be able to say we have so many people around the world who are loving our scents,' Nedahl said. Shoppers who have already bought L'HÔTEL have given it a glowing five-star rating. ' L'HÔTEL is my new favourite. Delicious, fresh, feminine and young, but with a hint of mysterious complexity. I love that I can wear the perfume any time without worrying about the artificial fragrances or (harsh) chemicals, often found in luxury perfumes,' one customer raved. 'This fragrance feels like strolling through a hidden rose garden at Versailles. Smooth sweet vanilla and enchanting pink flowers. Heavenly,' another shared. Social media feedback has been overwhelmingly positive in the weeks leading up to the launch, with one fan raving: 'Such a beautiful scent. Smells so expensive… nailed this one.' L'HÔTEL 12mL Travel Size Take L'HÔTEL on the road with you with the compact 12mL travel size. Sultry, provocative and powerfully mysterious, L'HÔTEL is not just a fragrance…it's a mood. A presence. A little danger wrapped in silk… the quiet confidence of knowing you smell amazing. $49 Shop The award-winning clean fragrance house was inspired by the sensuality of a luxury hotel for their latest launch. 'This is the scent of late checkouts and whispered secrets. Feminine, refined, and effortlessly sensual - L'HÔTEL turns every moment into a five-star experience,' the brand said. 'Sultry, provocative and powerfully mysterious, L'HÔTEL is not just a fragrance… it's a mood. A presence. A little danger wrapped in silk… the quiet confidence of knowing you smell amazing.' The scent features top notes of bergamot, musky rose and peony, heart notes of creamy Tahitian vanilla with sandalwood and cedarwood, and a seductive base of musk and amber Recreation Beauty was launched in 2019 after Nedahl saw a gap in the market for clean, non-toxic luxury fragrance. 'Perfume is one of the worst offenders but there was no clean, luxury perfume on offer. That's when I knew I had to create something that was as safe as it was beautiful and luxurious,' she said. The award-winning fragrance house based in Bondi Beach, Sydney has grown rapidly over the years - with celebrities and Influencers amongst its fans. 'Our fragrances take more than two years to design because we spend a lot of time working with our perfumers and creating designer quality scents without the toxic chemicals,' she said. 'Everything is created with international perfumers and then we make the perfume here in Australia, manufacturing everything in our Sydney HQ.' The Aussie-born brand has become so popular that a UK warehouse was recently opened to meet growing global demand. 'We've just launched in the US and the UK and have had incredible reception so it's really just the beginning for us,' she said. Recreation Beauty is the brainchild of former magazine editor Nedahl Stelio, who launched the brand in 2019 to fill a gap in the market for clean, non-toxic luxury fragrance All of award-winning clean fragrance house Recreation's ingredients are ethically-sourced, vegan, and cruelty-free with no animal products used All of Recreation Beauty 's ingredients are ethically-sourced, vegan, and cruelty-free with no animal products used. 'If you've never tried Recreation Beauty, think of it as your invitation to experience fragrance differently,' Nedahl said. 'We're a clean fragrance house from Bondi Beach, creating perfumes that smell incredible - luxurious, addictive, unforgettable - without the toxins. Our scents are designed to make you feel amazing in your skin, and they last. 'It's for people who care about what goes on their body but refuse to compromise on smelling extraordinary.' One of their fragrances, At Night We Dance, a spicy musk with notes of orange, magnolia and vetiver, won Best Perfume at The Green Edit awards in 2022. Another standout, This Love of Mine, a summery white floral blend of jasmine, gardenia, sandalwood and vanilla, has earned nearly 400 five-star reviews and remains one of the brand's consistent bestsellers. Fans of the brand also love the discovery sets, where they can trial eight scents in 2.5ml sample sizes for $50, and receive a $20 credit to put towards their favourite when they're ready to purchase a full size bottle.

Australia's most pet-packed suburbs have just been revealed

No, you're not dreaming; your suburb really is being taken over by cavoodles, collies, cats and even cockatiels. If you live anywhere near a major city in Australia, chances are you, your neighbour or your barista has a furry (or feathered) friend. In fact, new research shows more than two-thirds (69 per cent) of Aussie households have one or more pets – putting Australia among the top pet-loving nations worldwide. Curious which Aussie suburbs are seriously pet-obsessed? Pet insurance provider Petsy has done the digging — read on to find out if your neighbourhood made the list! While Sydney might be known for its matchbox-sized apartments, it hasn't deterred city dwellers from getting a pet. The inner-city suburb of Rosebery tied with beachy Maroubra for first place, while the bustling 'burbs of Alexandria (second), North Sydney (fourth), and Marrickville (fifth) rounded out NSW's top five. Looks like high-rise apartment living hasn't put a 'paws' on pet ownership. In Victoria, it's a similar story, with Melbourne City and Berwick (just outside the CBD) tied for first with the highest dog and cat populations. Other trendy spots like Preston, St Kilda and South Yarra also cracked the list. Meanwhile, over in Queensland, the Goldy is where pets reign supreme – Pimpama, Southport and Coomera have claimed their spots on the pet ownership leaderboard. In South Australia and Western Australia, where space isn't tight, the trend flips – it's all about suburbs with big backyards and beach access when it comes to having doggies and moggies. You can check out the top five for each state below. The Australian suburbs with the biggest pet populations NSW Rosebery and Maroubra Alexandria Macquarie Park North Sydney Marrickville Victoria Melbourne and Berwick Point Cook Preston St Kilda and Pakenham South Yarra and Glen Iris Queensland Pimpama Southport and Coomera Upper Coomera and Cleveland Varsity Lakes, Nerang, Morningside, Moorooka, Riverview, Greenbank and Maudsland Buderim, Redbank Plains, Palm Beach and Nundah South Australia Woodcroft Mount Barker Prospect Aberfoyle Park Henley Beach Western Australia Scarborough Baldivis Waikiki and Port Kennedy Mount Lawley and Fremantle Rivervale Stay in the loop: sign up for our free Time Out Australia newsletter for more news, travel inspo and activity ideas, straight to your inbox. 🐕 ⭐️ The best pet-friendly hotels in Australia

I swapped injections for ‘Botox in a bottle' that costs less than a tenner – and you can buy it in Boots

A WOMAN has shared the cheap buy that acts like 'Botox' with no injections. Nina, from the UK, took to social media to share the beauty item that many say gets rid of wrinkles overnight. 3 BUY NOW In the clip, she said: "Big claims, but they call this Botox in a bottle. "They launched it on TikTok and it sold out within a week." The TikTok package comes with two products from The Ordinary, their Matrixyl 10% solution and the Argireline. This lightweight Matrixyl serum helps reduce the appearance of static and dynamic wrinkles and helps boost collagen. The Argireline solution lessens facial tension, relaxing and smoothing out skin to get rid of wrinkles. The product costs just £9.20 from Boots and is also available on TikTok shop. "I'm no stranger to Botox, but if you don't want needles in your face, this is definitely a great alternative," she explained. She shared her review on her TikTok account @ justnina_official which went viral with over 5,000 likes. But Nina isn't the only person who loves the Argireline solution. On the Boots website, the product has rave reviews from customers. 4 ways to banish wrinkles WITHOUT Botox or fillers One person wrote: "I have been using this for about 6 months. It has really made a difference in the"11" lines between my brows, they're barely visible now." Another commented: "After just a couple weeks I could see a difference in my forehead! Wonderful product!" "I've been using this product for about a month now and absolutely love the way it makes my skin look and feel. It has definitely softened out my fine lines on my forehead," penned a third. How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings. She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with. 'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us. 'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.' It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing. Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel. Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing. Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources. Meanwhile a fourth said: "This lightweight serum is like Botox in a bottle — no needles needed. I've been using it on my forehead + around the eyes, and the fine lines are noticeably softer." "Such an amazing product. Made my skin so smooth in just 2 weeks. No wonder it's Botox in a bottle,' claimed a fifth
