Why yes, I have been ‘investing in my health’ again this month. Well I wouldn’t be able to do a healthy haul post if I didn’t, would I? (See how I justified my spendthrift ways there?!).

You’ll notice that I haven’t bought any workout wear despite the brilliant sales online and on the high street. However, if the prices drop any lower, I can’t see my resolve lasting much longer. Check back next month to see how I fared.

Without further ado, here’s my top healthy buys of June.

The Art Of Eating Well, Hemsley and Hemsley, £20, Amazon

I love everything about this cookbook. Every image is beautifully styled and shot (there’s not a single dish, plate or table covering that I don’t covet!). The recipes, which are high on nutrients and free from gluten, grains and refined sugar, are easy to follow and, without exception, have produced delicious results. In addition to the recipes the book is packed with advice on making healthier food choices, there’s advice on stocking your kitchen cupboards and menus for everything from packed lunches and snacks, to picnics and summer parties. I already know this is going to get a lot of use. The pristine white cover will not stay white for long.

Mega Omega Superseeds, around £4, Punch Foods

I’m woefully uncreative when it comes to constructing salads at home (although there are some great ideas in the Art Of Eating Well that I’ll definitely be trying this summer) but I’m making them taste more interesting by topping them with a sprinkling of this tasty tamari-flavoured Omega-packed mix of linseeds, pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds.

Lurch Spirali, £27.25, Amazon

As the owner of a relatively small kitchen I’m wary about investing in kitchen kit that I’ll use enthusiastically for a week, after which time I’ll never use it again and it’ll sit sadly on a shelf taking up space I don’t have. Whilst I liked the idea of a spriralizer I wasn’t sure if I really needed one. I mean how often can a person eat courgetti?! (Every other day it turns out!). Earlier this month, I had a lunch of courgetti tossed in pesto and topped with chopped tomatoes at Redemption. It was so good I went home and ordered this spiralizer immediately. It’s an easy way to add another portion of veg to a meal and, having avoided pasta in recent months as my body’s reaction to it has become increasingly uncomfortable, I’m happy that all my favourite pasta dishes are back on the menu.

Dr Bronner’s Castile Liquid Soap in Citrus Orange, £8.49, Content

Over the past few months as I’ve been putting an increasing amount of thought into the food that fuels my body, I’ve started to think more about the products I use on the outside of my body. I’m not about to stop washing my hair and start leaving the house make-up-free but, as I come to the end of a product, I’m going to give an organic alterative a try. First up, body wash. I can’t stop smelling the citrusy scent of this multipurpose product, which has turned my morning shower into an invigorating wakeup call. So far, so good!

Hair ties, £12, Barrecore

Most of the time I wear my hair down, unless I’m exercising, when I prefer to put it up and out of my way. I favour a swingy ponytail for running, for everything else a topknot does the job. I’m not sure where my hair bobbles go – the same place as odd socks, presumably – but my supplies were seriously low when I spotted this set of snag-free hair ties which included glittery and tie dye options. Resistance was futile.
If you’re not in London Ooh La Lara has some similarly pretty sets, which you can buy here
