The new year bring with it the promise of fresh starts and new beginnings. In fact, many of us start to look forward to this time of year mid-December after one too many boozy Christmas parties, buffet tables bursting with cheese and sleeping way too little. Come the first of January, we are bombarded with … Read More
For the past year I’ve had a little secret weapon in my back pocket. Something that is helping me keep my cool, get better sleep, handle stress and boost my mood. What if I told you you could have it too? Even better, it would only take 1% of your day… I’m talking about meditation. … Read More
Pumpkins, Hocus Pocus, crunching leaves, glorious weather and autumnal food – October has all the markings of the best month of the year. Except, it’s a tough one for me too. The first week of October I dreamt of my mum – we were just having a chat in the kitchen like always and I … Read More
“So, what IS the deal with booze?” my gorgeous fizz-friendly mate Emma asked whilst pouring a glass of red over our weekly get together. This is a sticky one for me. It’s the one thing I find more difficult than others to be balanced about – even though I know the health issues and nutritional … Read More
I’ve been a little quiet in the blogosphere for well the PAST YEAR and I apologise. I could tell you what I’ve been telling myself for the whole time; I’ve been waaaaaay too busy. Training to be a nutritional therapist is no piece of cake (well only if it’s made with sugar alternatives that don’t … Read More
I might just be speaking for myself (although I doubt it) but I actually feel like a real functioning HUMAN during the summer holidays. For a few weeks I get to live as if I don’t have a job, much like a Real Housewife of Brighton or something like that. I see friends I have … Read More
It doesn’t happen very often, but last night I suffered from ‘what-the-fuck-am-I-doing-itis’. I’ve been so focused these past few months on study and work that I was sure the path I was on was the right one but this feeling crept up on me like the morning sun on a bender. I suddenly realised I’m … Read More
How has the start of the year been for you? An odd question I guess (now we’re a quarter of the way in) but for me, it’s felt like a slow start. I don’t know, I’ve felt a little… stuck. Nothing terrible has happened, but my energy definitely slowed down over the last couple of … Read More
March is almost done and with it comes along Mothers Day. I know so many wonderful Mums – friends, family – I’m surrounded by inspiring, strong women who manage not only to keep other humans alive, but guide and nurture them. I am always in awe of how mums ‘do it’ and it’s so very … Read More
It’s not a secret – January isn’t everyone’s favourite month. I feel a bit sorry for it in a way, everyone grunting ‘ugh, January is the worst’ must do nothing for it’s self esteem… if it was a person. which it’s not. ANYWAY -in all honesty, I’ve been finding January pretty tough this year – … Read More
Autumn is quickly becoming my favourite season. I must warn you though, I’m fickle when it comes to this. During most changes of seasons I’ll declare “I JUST LOVE (insert current season)!!” and then continue listing all the awesome things about said season. (I need to stop saying season) I’m a huge fan of autumnal … Read More
“How are you feeling about this weekend?” my beaut of a friend Sarah asked me last week. “Yeah ok… a bit nervous maybe” I replied. “Don’t worry about it lovely” Sarah soothed, “it’s natural when you’re starting something new”. I hesitated, “….I know…. but thats not exactly what I’m nervous about. Well…. it’s more…. I … Read More
