HEALTH & BEAUTY: Mind Apples ~ love your mind
Most of us know that we need to get our 5 fruit and veg each day to keep our bodies strong and healthy, but how many of us neglect our minds? Today, we want to introduce you to Mind Apples: 5 a day for your mind ~ 5 things you do each day to keep your mind healthy!
Here's what they say, "Mind Apples is a social enterprise that helps us all take better care of our minds through simple daily activities. We want to make looking after our minds as natural as brushing our teeth, by asking everyone: “What's the 5-a-day for your mind?” We all know how to take care of our bodies - we can eat healthy food, try to keep fit, brush our teeth and worry about our waistlines. Yet when it comes to our minds, have very little idea what to do. We take terrible care of ourselves and leave it to the experts to fix us if things go wrong. But experts can only do so much. We need to take better care of ourselves. So, if we can look after our bodies by going for a run, or eating an apple, then what’s the equivalent for our minds?"

You can also get inspiration by reading other people's mind apples which are published anonymously on the website each day. Some of UK Handmade's favourite mind apples are:
- Taking the time to do something creative each day, this can be something crafty, cooking, reading, singing, dancing around the living room...it all counts!
- Spending time with loved ones (human or of the fur kind) ~ there's simply nothing better.
- Noticing and appreciating the little things in life; the kindness of strangers, the scent of the rain, a friendly smile, the wind in the trees, the texture of a flower.
- Cooking and eating a good meal.
- Laughing out loud until our stomachs hurt!
