11am - Home facial - treat yourself to a little pampering. You will need to use a cleanser, exfoliant, toner and finally a moisturizer. This will leave your face feeling fresh and vibrant

1pm - Lunch - consisting of a fresh salad of raw vegetables topped with pumpkin seeds in an olive oil and lemon juice dressing

2pm - take some time out to rest and read a book or magazine.

3pm - take a brisk walk out in the fresh air. Try to find an open area that is away from congestion such as a park.

7pm - Evening meal - consisting of vegetables cooked lightly by either stir frying or steaming.
