Quips of an Angel: Welcome to Peppermint Teal!

If you've come here looking for Frengellica, don't go away! You've absolutely come to the right place. Yes Frengellica has undergone something of a revamp. It now has a new look and a new name. From now on, we will be known as Peppermint Teal! We won't say that Frengellica is no more exactly because the content and subject matter are still very much the same. We're still all about well-being and our own brand of healthy living. The subjects we used to post about - natural hair and skincare; narcissistic abuse awareness; expat living, and anything connected to better living - are still here.

At Peppermint Teal, we're really big on transformation; personal growth; motivating yourself to do better; getting out of a rut you've found yourself in; and not being afraid to make positive changes when necessary. So it was probably a good idea for us to take our own advice and give this site a bit of a revamp! Even though we're barely a year old, we felt that we were in need of a change and go in a slightly different direction. But we didn't know where we were going or how we were going to get there. A bit like me behind the wheel of a car!

So here we are! We hope that you enjoy the new-look Peppermint Teal, and we're open to your comments and suggestions.

So what's in the new look Peppermint Teal?

15 WAYS TO... GET BACK INTO READING

Reading is a fun and relaxing activity. Perhaps you were an avid reader when you were at school - or maybe the only thing you read as a kid were the opening credits for your fave TV show! But as we get older and we all lead such busy, hectic lives, pursuits such as reading can fall by the wayside. Check out - or better still read - our post for ways in which you can get back into the habit of becoming a regular reader again.

WHITE TEA AND YOGURT FACE MASK

There's nothing quite like a bit of pampering, and we've got the perfect exfoliating face mask that gets your skin all dewy, glowy, and feels deliciously moisturizing - which is just as well because it's good enough to eat (though we'd rather you slathered it all over your face instead!)

THE BENEMINT CUCUMBERPATCH COCKTAIL

Summer is just a around the corner which means that we're all up for refreshingly cool drinks - and if that means cocktails then that's even better! Check out our recipe for the sub-lime (yes, there's a clue there) Benemint Cucumberpatch which is basically all the things that Angel loves in a cocktail (although grapefruit isn't in there but that's a good enough reason to create another cocktail later at some point!)

THE LOVES AND LOATHES OF AN EX-PAT: PART 2 - THE LOATHES

Back in a past life when we were Frengellica, we did a post as part of our Ex-Pat Files feature where we looked at all the wonderful and magical things that life in another country can bring. Well in the second part of the post, we look at the not-so-wonderful-and-magical side of being an ex-pat which some of you who have lived/are living in another country might have experienced. Check out our post which includes stories from those who have experienced these problems, as well as suggestions as to how you might overcome them.

WORLD NARCISSISTIC ABUSE AWARENESS SUMMIT

June 1st marks World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day and the fourth annual virtual summit will begin on the same day ending on June 2nd. So if you haven't booked your place, you can do so here. And it's free!

PEPPERMINT CHOC TRUFFLE MOUSSE CAKE

For Peppermint Teal's first Wake Me Up Before Your Cocoa, we decided to make a decadent chocolate mousse cake flavoured with mint for a winning flavour combination. Don't feel guilty if you don't want to share it - we didn't want to either!

Enjoy!
