As we roll into autumn, with the wild days of summer truly behind us, it’s an opportunity to take stock of ourselves – to take the time to become our best selves for the months ahead. To help keep your health and wellbeing in check over October, here are this week’s top 10 tips from Checklist.
WIN! 6-month supply of Noggin for you and a loved one, worth up to £360!
While many of us are used to taking vitamin-rich supplements to support our bodily functions, we often forget that the brain also requires nourishment. And forgetting? Not the best indicator of a healthy brain.
Luckily, UK general practitioner Dr Clara Russell MBBS MRCGP has devoted her time to Noggin, a range of advanced nootropic complexes – commonly referred to as “cognitive enhancers”. These comprehensive nutritional supplements only contain active ingredients at optimal levels, without the filler or bulking agents.
To support energy and focus, OOMPH features a unique combination of vitamins, minerals and botanicals that have been hand selected for their brain-supportive and nootropic properties. The formula includes ginseng that’s proven to improved mental performance, rhodiola to improve your response to stress and combined B vitamins to improve your energy and cognition.
Then, for when you want to relax and sleep, there’s PAUSE. Helping you unwind when you need to, the formula contains magnesium which contributes to normal psychological function with selected botanicals like lemon balm, rhodiola and lion’s mane mushroom.
If you’re experiencing perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, there’s FOGO. Helping to support your brain during what can be a frustrating time, the formula contains ingredients selected for their ability to help with typical symptoms, like red clover to help relieve hot flushes.
This month, they’re giving you and a friend the opportunity to win a six-month supply of the Noggin product of your choice – worth a combined total of up to £360. It’s the perfect way to look after your noggin and the noggin of someone you care about. Simply use your noggin to enter the competition via the link below.

Feel like a billion bucks
Have you ever wanted to light up a room just by cracking a smile? Having a dazzling set of pearly whites always makes a good impression, which is why giving your teeth a little TLC can go a long way.
Enter the Billion Dollar Smile – developed by dentists and designed to deliver professional whitening results in the comfort of your home without the use of peroxide. This teeth whitening kit has a formula that contains the latest developments in whitening technology and is still suitable for even for the most sensitive teeth!
Oxidising whitener PAP is clinically proven to deliver stronger and safer results than conventional peroxide. PAP breaks down stains without the release of any free radicals, which helps to avoid side-effects such as sensitivity, gum irritation and sores.
Also in the mix is a stain-breaking natural pineapple enzyme, in addition to extracts of soothing aloe vera and anti-bacterial pomegranate for additional care during your teeth whitening treatment.
Billion Dollar Smile’s unique formula also contains hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring mineral that is an essential component of teeth and bones, giving them their rigidity. Scientific evidence suggest that once deposited on teeth, hydroxyapatite can help build new layers of enamel making them healthier and whiter.
Each kit includes an LED light and mouth guard, three whitening gel syringes and a shade guide. They’re also vegan, cruelty free and the kit only takes six days to complete! What are you waiting for?
