the 3-Step plan to Make
healthy habitS Stickn
Health and Wellness Coach Annabelle Matson gives us the means to lead a healthier life.
Add, modify and delete – it’s as easy as ABC.
When it comes to eating habits and making
improvements to our health in general, trying to
change absolutely everything about our lifestyle
overnight very rarely works. We often think: “If I can’t
eat/do things perfectly, I shouldn’t bother at all.” As a
recovering perfectionist, I totally get that. However,
this clearly doesn’t support success. It just keeps us
stuck right where we are, on the dieting rollercoaster,
never seeing results for the long term.
I always say to my clients, “over time not overnight”.
We want to do things gradually, because that’s
what results in permanent change. Why weight loss
and many health programmes often don’t work is
because we go from eating whatever we want, to
restricting everything.
So, instead of drastically restricting everything,
use my three-step tool – add, modify and delete.
Pick one thing you want to add
Pick one thing you want to modify
Pick one thing you want to delete
FOR ExAMPLE
Add: A morning meditation to centre you for
the day.
Modify: Refined sugar intake. Alcohol is a huge
source of sugar – so instead of drinking during the
week, stick to a few just on the weekends.
Delete: Eating after 8pm.
Commit to the add, modify, delete plan for 30 days.
Once that all becomes a habit – start a new add,
modify, delete plan.
When you do steps incrementally like that, it creates
new habits. You won’t feel overwhelmed and it feels
really manageable. Like magic, it all starts to become
a lifestyle that you LOVE and that are you motivated
to sustain.

Let’s talk lips with Koru Clinic
The features on a person’s face can change or determine how they
are perceived, and we are all subconsciously affected by these cues.
Every time we see a face, we make judgments on that person’s
character and personality, and all this happens instantly and
automatically in our brains.
Years spent talking, chewing, pouting,
smoking or smiling can lead to lines and
wrinkles around the lips. Lip fullness
can also be an indicator of aging, as
time spent biting or pursing the lips
can lead to deflated, thin lips over time.
Lips are also especially vulnerable to
environmental effects, as the skin on the
lips is less than a third of the thickness of
the skin on the rest of your face.
Many women really want to improve
the appearance of their lips but are
understandably very scared about
looking like a duck, especially after the
all too common publicised disasters
affecting some unfortunate celebrities.
These days we all recognise women are
looking for a natural appearance rather
than looking like a “Kardashian”.
Dermal fillers for the lips are one of
the most popular cosmetic medicine
treatments available, and are a very quick
and easy way to dramatically improve
your look. They typically last between
12 – 14 months, and are hyaluronic
acid based. Hyaluronic acid is a natural
component of the skin, meaning the risk
of adverse reactions to the procedure is
very, very small. Recovery time is usually
around 1 day.
There are generally 3 types of
requests for lip fillers at Koru Clinic,
clients who want to:
1. Boost Lip Volume
2. Minimise smokers lines
3. Define the lip border & reduce
lipstick bleed
Younger patients tend to go for larger
lip volumes, whilst more mature women
want a more natural lip augmentation.
At Koru Clinic we only recommend
using hyaluronic acid based fillers with
high safety profiles, and after assessing
each persons lips will decide on the most
appropriate filler for the augmentation.
