Can you believe it’s October already? I read somewhere the other day that time your perception of time moves proportionally quicker as you get older. You know how when you were a kid a year was FOREVER, but now it’s gone in a flash. We all pretty much know that, right? But the scary thing…

Hi there, how is August treating you? I’m liking it a lot better than July so far, mostly because it’s been cooler. But enough about me, lets move on.  This month I’ve been sent a few nice things to try, and I’ve also splashed out on some nice things myself, so, today is my monthly round-up…

There’s advice everywhere on how to sleep well. We all know the drill, go to bed at a regular time, have a hot bath, cut out the light, don’t use your phone and drink some hot milk. But most of us forget the importance of the room and our bed in helping us to sleep…

Hi there!

I shan’t bore you with the details. Not in THIS post anyway. If you’re not a regular reader and you…

Did you know you’re an inspiration? Because you probably are. I’ve had a few conversations over the last week that have made me realise how damn important it is to get out there and do what you love doing, and not to hide away until you feel you’re somehow worthy. Last week for Sport Relief…

One of the things I’ve worked on really hard over the last few years is thinking about my mindset. You might have seen my post recently about how mindfulness helped me deal with anxiety. I’ve become fascinated with how much power our minds have over our bodies, and how much impact our mindset can really…
