Christian Benedict Shirts Online Shirt Retailer.


Christian Benedict Shirts is an online shirt retailer with a difference; they operate through a recurring service. Customers can opt to have a shirt sent to their desk or door monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. The service is entirely flexible so customers can skip a delivery, change frequency of delivery and amend their details as often as they like. You can cancel any time.

Shirt selection is really easy, with an e-mail asking a customer to pick his next shirt going out shortly before he is due each delivery. In that e-mail customers can select their preferred shirt by simply clicking on an image of it. Two clicks and they're done. The e-mail also ensures customers don't forget to skip a delivery if they intend to.

With demands on the time of professionals constantly increasing, our service is more than just providing quality shirts. It is also the opportunity for our customers to forget about a small, but fairly boring and inconvenient task, leaving them instead to spend their time on what they enjoy. It is this aspect of our offering that we believe is driving the terrific feedback we're receiving and the great success we're enjoying.

Ordering A Shirt.

Heading over to the Christian Benedict website you will find an easy-to-navigate website, that provides all the information you need and how to get started.
Pressing the "Get Started" button will take you to the first option of how regular would u like a shirt delivered, three options give you the choice of 30, 60 or 90 days with free delivery.

Selecting A Shirt.

Moving on to stage two your presented to select your first shirt from the Christian Benedict core three. Then around two weeks before you're due another shirt, they will send an e-mail showing you their entire range. Within that e-mail you'll be able to pick another shirt by clicking on the appropriate image. The three shirts available which are also 100% cotton are;
  1. Light Blue Button Cuff Shirt.
  2. White Button Cuff Shirt.
  3. Pink Button Cuff Shirt.
Clicking on the image of the shirt of your choice will then take you onto the next stage.

Take Your Measurements.

Using the drop down menus to take your measurements is fairly simple. You can change the measurements anytime once your signed in and if your not happy, Consequently, if you know your measurements for one of our competitors, then a Christian Benedict shirt in that size is likely to fit you as well.  Christian Benedict have a no questions asked returns policy - if you’re not happy with a shirt, you can return it for free.

Don't panic if you do not know your measurements, the size guides will help you achieve that perfect fitting shirt and are really easy to follow to discover your measurements. Discovering your fit is the general size of the shirt and will determine how closely the material hugs your torso.
Christian Benedict generous fit is their 'Regular', whilst they call their medium 'Slim Fit'. 'Extra Slim' size is their smallest size. 

Taking a tape measure and measuring your chest and then your waist, you can then check their size chart guide to see what fit might suit you best - you'll need to know your collar size to start with, as you will want to compare the chest and waist sizes of the appropriate collar size to your own chest and waist measurement. To work out your collar size take a tape measure and hold it flush around your neck, then loosen to allow two fingers to slip in between your neck and the tape. Have a friend tell you what the measurement is or use a mirror. Christian Benedict offer collar sizes starting at 15" and increasing in increments of 0.5" to 17.5", they are hoping to increase this range in the future.

Three separate measurements are needed to work out your sleeve length and you may need some help.
To start, stand with your arm raised at just under right angles to your body. Then bend your arm at the elbow so your hand moves towards your chest. Now ask you friend to measure from the centre of your back to your shoulder and note down the result. Secondly, measure from your shoulder to your elbow, again noting the result. Finally, measure from your elbow to your wrist bone. Add all three results together to get your sleeve length.

Following the size guides really is easy to find out which shirt is suitable and available for you.

Your Details.

The last stage is filling your details into the boxes provided.
Your name and surname, whilst providing an email address and a password to set up a profile on the Christian Benedict website. Once you have completed all the stages you will be ready to receive your brand new shirt, there's no commitment so you can cancel any time and you only pay around the time that you receive each shirt.
What i really like about ordering a shirt from Christian Benedict is the whole process is really easy.
A user friendly website with clear pictures and understandable text, guides the customer through a stress-free process, why cant all clothes shopping be like that!

Arrival Of Shirt.

Your package arrives with speed and is packaged safely and securely, inside includes:
  1. a 100% cotton formal shirt;
  2. a small gift (these change monthly);
  3. an insert detailing our referral program;
  4. an insert and pre-paid address label relating to the returns process; 
  5. and a gift box.
Like any customer, should your shirt not fit you can use the pre-paid address label and insert to send it back and they will arrange for a better fitting shirt to be sent to you.
Taking the lid off the well presented box, you will find your brand new shirt sitting inside, the box can be used to store your shirts until your ready to wear them and can easily be stored away. I received a pair of high quality socks that were included along with the pre-address label. The insert to send back, lists three options for you to choose why your sending back the shirt making the whole process easy and stress-free.
You can never have enough shirts, whether you want to wear a shirt casually paired with a pair of jeans or if you want a more formal look that can be worn day or night.

Senocalm - IBS Relief From Gas Related Symptoms - Top Stress Busting Tips.

Senocalm understands how embarrassing, unpleasant and often debilitating symptoms such as painful cramps, bloating, constipation and/or diarrhoea can be. It can have a detrimental effect on people’s lives impacting everyday activities such as socialising, travelling and even work. These symptoms may arise because the digestive system and mind are linked. Emotions, such as stress and anxiety, can therefore affect our gut health, potentially triggering a flare up.

What Is IBS?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can affect up to one in five Brits at some stage of their life, and twice as many women as men. It’s not always easy to diagnose and it can be difficult to pinpoint the triggers which commonly include stress, anxiety and certain foods and drinks.

  • IBS is a common, long-term condition of the digestive system. It can cause bouts of stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and/or constipation.
  • The symptoms vary between individuals and affect some people more severely than others.
  • Symptoms tend to come and go in periods lasting a few days to a few months at a time.
  • IBS symptoms can be triggered by certain foods (e.g. fatty and processed foods) and drinks (e.g. alcohol, caffeine and fizzy drinks) as well as stress and anxiety.
  • The symptoms of IBS can also have a significant impact on a person's day-to-day life and can have a deep psychological impact. As a result, many people with the condition have feelings of depression and anxiety.

To launch Senocalm, IBS Relief from Gas Related Symptoms, the brand has teamed up with meditation and mindfulness expert, Emma Mills to give you coping mechanisms to help alleviate stress whilst at home, work, or on-the-go and in turn, assist in minimising the risk of digestive flare-ups.
Emma Mills says: “Stress can be detrimental to your mental and physical wellbeing and for many IBS sufferers it can be a key trigger of their symptoms. Taking time out for a few minutes a day for meditation and mindfulness helps ease the emotional tension that hinders our everyday routines and can help to re-balance the digestive system.”

Emma Mills’ Top Stress Busting ‘Gutfulness’ Tips.

Top Stress Busting Tips from meditation and mindfulness expert Emma Mills to help prevent IBS stopping you in your tracks.
  1. Create a mindfulness toolkit: Have items with you that you know will help you feel good and relaxed while on-the-go, such as a favourite book, essential oils or herbal teas. 
  2. Belly Breathing: When daily pressures begin to pile up, take five minutes to focus on your breathing. Lying down, place both hands on your tummy, covering your belly button. When you breathe in, imagine there is a little balloon inside your tummy. As it expands, lift your hands as you breathe in, lower as you breathe out.
  3. Visualisation: Picture your digestive tract as a long, calm river that flows gently, passing through the throat and into the tummy. Feel the ‘river’ gently cooling the soft walls of your tummy and system, cleansing, healing and helping your body to feel full of energy and life.
  4. Humming: Sit comfortably and on your next out breath, close your mouth and make a little humming sound. This can be very relaxing on the digestive system and restore a sense of harmony. Don’t over breathe, as the aim is nice, gentle easy relaxation.
  5. Focus in: Take three minutes to focus on a flower. Put all your attention on this; its petals, fragrance, shape etc. Notice how it feels to be engaged and ask yourself what starts to feel different.
  6. Tapping: Gently tap using your knuckles around the rib cage, across the back of the ribs and around the hips, use 20 percent of your effort while you say, ‘I can trust my body, I can feel relaxed’.
  7. Sound the AUM (om): First breathe in gently and on your next out breath, let out a little AUM sound. Do this three to four times a day.
  8. Play with opposites in self talk: In your mind play with the opposites to reduce negative thoughts which can have an impact on your stress levels and could trigger your IBS. For example: ‘I feel anxious vs. what if I don't have to feel anxious’, ‘I’m stressed vs. I’m at peace’, ‘I’m all uptight vs. but I can be relaxed’.

Senocalm IBS Relief.

Senocalm for IBS Relief from Gas Related Symptoms Contains anti-foaming agent simethicone to help people with IBS relief from IBS gas related symptoms, including bloating and discomfort whilst also helping with painful spasms and cramps. The senocalm capsules are easy to swallow, thanks to their small size and also help prevent IBS Symptoms reoccurring whilst relieving the symptoms you may be feeling.

  • Contains simethicone which works by causing gas bubbles to collapse and collect together forming larger gas bubbles that can pass more easily out of the intestines. This allows the body to process gas in a natural way helping to relieve gas related symptoms

Always Read The Leaflet.

Reading through the leaflet and the back of the packaging, details all the information you need to know, Senocalm is really easy to take and the directions state the recommended dose to take:

  • Adults and Children aged 14 years and over: 2 - 3 capsules per dose 
  • (maximum capsules per day - 9 capsules).
  • Children aged 6 to 14 years: 1 capsules.
  • (Maximum capsules per day - 3 capsules).

Taking a dose with a glass of water, either after a meal or before bed.
Senocalm is not intended to relieve constipation or diarrhoea, it works extremely well to relieve your uncomfortable symptoms whilst being gentle on the body. Suffering with IBS does not have to be an embarrassing condition to live as Senocalm helps you get back on track and to face any task that needs completing. Easy to take, compact to carry in your bag and settles your symptoms quickly.

HAPS SuperFruits + Boosters Serotonin Boosting Nutritional Drink.

HAPS SuperFruits + Boosters launched on 28th Feb 2017. It contains whole fruit powders + boosters to naturally increase serotonin production, rehydrate, revitalise and improve mental wellbeing.
A groundbreaking nutritional drink powder designed to boost low mood has been created by WE ARE HAPS founder Rik Turner, in collaboration with Brighton based nutritional therapist Kirsten Chick and the supplement specialists fuelling Team GB athletes, Team Nutrition.

Main Benefits.

  • Help regulate mood, appetite and sleep by naturally boosting serotonin
  • Improve your response to stress with vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D & Zinc
  • Support your immune system & skin health with superfruit Baobab
  • Stay alert throughout the day with sustained energy from Coconut healthy fats
  • Keep hydrated with added electrolytes to aid the flow of nutrients in the body

Mental Health & Nutrition.

The latest scientific research has found that nutrition is fundamental to mental health.
“We don’t always associate mental health with nutrition, but actually, there’s where we need to begin.
Your ability to respond healthily to situations – whether with joy, laughter, sadness, anger or fear – and then reset to a calmer place, involves a whole cascade of chemical reactions. For each of those chemical steps to occur, you need specific vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. If you don’t have enough of them, it becomes incredibly difficult to reset and find your happy place. If you can find a good quality, easy-to take and even delicious supplement – well, for me it’s a no-brainer.”
Kirsten Chick, nutritional therapist (D.N.N., mFNTP, mBSIO)

Rik. The founder of We Are HAPS.

So, what’s my story? Well, I've experienced first hand the impact of poor mental health. Growing up I watched my mum go through depression. I personally suffer from anxiety and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). A few years ago, during a typically dark English January, my mum had a spinal stroke, my grandad died and I really hit rock bottom. Initially I tried to avoid my emotions by keeping busy - working all hours during the week and partying all weekend but that just made things worse. So, I slowed down and started focussing on my wellbeing, particularly nutrition. Supplements massively helped me, but I didn't like taking a load of different, individual pills everyday. Also, these are full of various bulking agents and cheap chemicals to increase corporate profits, not my wellbeing. I thought “I could create a better, more ethical solution than this”, so I have.
I now love my life and all it’s highs and lows. I’ve learnt so much studying the science of happiness and wellbeing that I can't not take action to help others. So, I’ve quit a secure, well paid job, got rid of almost everything I own and am currently living in India to cut my living costs while I self fund We Are HAPS. I’ve sacrificed a very comfortable life because although I’m much better now, I need to help others. It kills me to see more people than ever feeling low, despite all the scientific advances over the past decade.

The Problem.

The latest stats are that 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. Globally, more people die from suicide than from wars & natural disasters combined and it’s a growing problem.
The primary treatment for depression is antidepressant drugs which is by far the most effective treatment in the short term. However, the latest research studies have found that drugs are not a long term solution. Nutrition is.

The Solution.

To get all the nutrients the body needs, a healthy diet is often not enough because some nutrients can’t be sourced from food. So, we’ve developed HAPS SuperFruits + Boosters to give you a boost of the specific nutrients that improve mental health.

Unlike most supplements, we use no bulking agents or fillers. Instead, we just use whole fruit powders. We have also sourced the finest quality boosters that naturally increase serotonin production, rehydrate, re-energise and revitalise the body.

So please, help me help others. It's so much more than a nutritional supplement. It's a movement dedicated to empowering people to take control of their happiness & wellbeing. Buy a pack for you, or for someone else and support the mission.
Cheers, Rik

HAPS SuperFruits + Boosters - My Experience.

I was lucky enough to be sent three sachets to experience and blog about from HAPS. The bright yellow sachets feature all the information you need, printed on them from how to take, ingredients and a warning. 

How to take is fairly simple to follow; open the sachet, mix with 250ml water and you can either blend/shake or stir the natural ingredients. You must consume within 12 hours.

Ingredients are as listed: HAPS fruits (83%) Mango, Pear, Pineapple, Guava, Banana, Baobab (4%)],
Coconut MCTs (11%), Griffonia Seed Extracts [5-HTP] (1%), Natural Flavours , 
Vitamin Mix [Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Niacin (B3), Pantothenic Acid (B5),
Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Zinc], Ionic Electrolytes (0.8%), Stevia.

Warning; Do not consume if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking antidepressants.

Taking the HAPS SuperFruits + Boosters in the morning is a great way to start your day. You can either enjoy your drink to have with your breakfast or you could prepare your drink in a bottle, to enjoy on your way to work or throughout your morning.
Pouring the sachet into the 250ml water whilst stirring, took minimal effort for the contents to be blended. One of the important things is taste, no matter what benefits a product claims, if it doesn't taste nice your not going to take it again. The HAPS SuperFruits + Boosters taste extremely well and are a really nice drink to experience. Obviously if your not a fan of a fruity taste you may not like these, but its worth a try,
The other beneficial benefit by taking the HAPS SuperFruits + Boosters is they give you a natural energy boost, ditching the sugar filled energy drinks you may drinking now or if you are trying to cut down on sugar from your diet, the HAPS SuperFruits + Boosters are a great replacement alternative.
You do feel your mood has been lifted. like on a sunny day when the sunshine is beaming and so is your smile. Find out more on these great tasting Serotonin Boosting Nutrional Drink by We Are HAPS. X Neil.

Beauty Kitchen - Affordable Skincare You Can Trust.

Beauty Kitchen always make 100% effective, natural and affordable products. Their recipes only contain 100% pure essential oils plus naturally derived ingredients that will never cost the earth.

The Beauty Kitchen Motto - People tested never animal tested.

When Beauty Kitchen spoke to women who love beauty products they all wanted products to work, smell great, look great and be good value. Few would sacrifice any of these for the environment, so Beauty Kitchen set out to find some products where they didn’t have to make that compromise. What they found was astounding! Products which were not as natural as they liked us to believe, plus they were uninspiring and over-priced.

Jo-Anne Chidley opened the first Beauty Kitchen in Glasgow to create 100% effective, natural, everyday luxury beauty products - with a sprinkle of fun and a big dollop of transparency!

Beauty Kitchen has continued to source innovative Sustainable Beauty ingredients to create effective natural products and has taught over 5,000 people how to make their own along the way! Only a few billion people left to reach to make Sustainable Beauty a reality for everyone!

Jo-Anne Chidley - The Flounder.

I’m called the Flounder because no one is perfect and I wanted everyone to know that. One of our favourite lines, and a line that you will see on many of our products is "I may not be perfect but at least I'm not fake", it applies to our products but also our employees, suppliers and customers. People like honest, humble people and at Beauty Kitchen we believe in being transparent but brave and admitting you're not perfect is a pretty good start!

When I scratched beneath the surface of the hype on many beauty products I found that so few were as natural as they claimed or that the claims they bamboozle you with are just clever marketing. When I didn't find much truth it motivated me to start Beauty Kitchen.

I opened Beauty Kitchen’s first store in Glasgow. Noticing a gap in the market for truly 100% natural products, 100% effective and affordable. Beauty Kitchen has now grown from a shop in Glasgow to being stocked in Holland & Barrett stores nationwide and being featured on ITV’s This Morning.

I originally studied Chemistry at university and went on to become a qualified herbal botanist, my passion for using natural ingredients stemmed from there. I continue to take inspiration from reading about scientific advancement in this area as well as talking to other members of the local bee keeping association.

The natural world provides us with so many great sustainable resources (as long as we look after it and give it a helping hand when needed) and 9 times out of 10 the natural ingredients work as well if not better than synthetic ones. That's why I’m passionate about 100% natural and no less!

Also, being green in the 21st century is all about being aware, making the right choices and doing what you can. I'm a bit of a Womble, making good use of the things that I find! Overall, it's the everyday things that matter and we can all make a difference.With plenty of inspiration in the world and a great Beauty Kitchen team we will continue to develop 100% natural, 100% effective and affordable products.

Beauty Kitchen Are So Kind.

The Beauty Kitchen were so kind to send me some products to try and blog about and i couldn't wait to try them! If you are not aware of the brand then i highly recommend you type in their web address and head on over there. The website not only displays high quality products with information about them to make it easier for the consumer to buy, but there is also interesting factual articles for you to make wiser choices for your next beauty purchases. I love that in a brand where their informing consumers with knowledge that you may not be aware of, the What is natural? is a great read.

Beauty Kitchen also hold workshops in Glasgow or you can purchase
Create your own kits with full instructions, the bath bombs kit looks great!

I was not only surprised on just how easy the beauty kitchen products are to use, i was also surprised with how well they work on your skin. Directions are clear and easy to follow, whilst applying the products is a luxurious moment. Using any beauty product should be special, not only for your skin but also for your well-being,
Beauty kitchen not only offers both but they are also a skincare brand you can trust.

From solving scalp problems through nourishing hair to promoting growth, our new range will help condition and protect hair as well as boost scalp health.”

*Ayurvedic medicine -- also known as Ayurveda -- is one of the world's oldest holistic (whole-body) healing systems, developed thousands of years ago in India. It is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit.

Cedarwood Atlas oil naturally soothes and protects against scalp irritations as well as helps to minimise hair loss. Lemon oil adds shine and balance. Grapeseed oil contains linoleic acid and helps to lock in moisture.

Antioxidant-rich Geranium, together with Brahi powder help nourish and repair damaged hair. Palmorosa oil hydrates hair.
Ylang Ylang, Argan & Rosemary Reviving Conditioner – nutrient rich to help repair split ends and encourage softness, shine and volume for dry hair. Nourishing and balancing Ylang Ylang encourages a healthy scalp. Conditioning Argan oil and nutrient-rich Cucumber extract help repair split ends. Rosemary oil and Moroccan Lava clay – used for centuries as a natural cleanser – work to boost volume with Tulsi powder, which also helps treat dry scalps.
Cedarwood & Peppermint Deep Cleansing Conditioner – invigorating, naturally antimicrobial conditioner for oily hair, which also adds volume and shine. Contains hydrolysed wheat, soy and corn protein - all rich in amino acids to strengthen, condition and add shine to hair as well as to help retain moisture and boost growth. Also contains anti-microbial Corn Mint oil to treat irritated scalps and Brazil Nut oil with Vitamin E to nourish and condition. Murumuru Seed Butter is packed with essential fatty acids to restore sheen and softness.
I was kindly sent the Ylang Ylang, Argan & Rosemary Reviving Conditioner as being a blond my hair can suffer from dryness and anything that helps with split ends is a blessing. The conditioner smells beautifully whilst each strand is saturated in the nutrient-rich ingredients. I tend to leave a conditioner on my hair for more than five minutes so it really can work its wonders and i could tell throughout the washing out stage my hair had been treated to a hair treat. Moisturised with softness without your hair feeling weighed down this conditioner is a must have for anyone's hair care routine. You only need a little of the conditioner to work its magic, so i can see this 250ml bottle lasting over a month or more.
