Anyone who knows me knows I like a drink…and of course I am not talking H20, I’m talking alcohol. I started drinking regularly when I went to Uni, having only really drunk a few times in my teens, one time at my 16th birthday party resulting in puking over my neighbours fence and snogging the…

Everyday…and I do mean EVERY DAY I get emails from brands offering me money to partner with or endorse them in some way. Nine out of ten times these brands are completely inappropriate for me to partner with, despite there being huge financial incentive for me to do so. Sometimes these are just brands where there…

Thinking of reducing the amount of meat that you eat this year? Well apparently you’re in good company as around 1 in 3 Brits are cutting down on the amount of meat they eat (Source: NatCen 2016) and some of the biggest food stores are now even creating special sections that help make the ‘flexitarian’…

I love soup. I could live on soup (clearly I don’t, but I could) I love tinned soup, chilled soup, home made soup…although I draw the line at packet soup. I just find it so convenient, and I never get bored of it. I often make my own soup, but I’m not the greatest cook…

I never used to like drinking tea. Mainly because growing up I hated making it for people when they came over to visit…the same applied to when I worked in an office setting…I’m sure people made tea just to get out of doing any work. But then that all changed after having my daughter, and…

My fitness journey started for real back in 2006 after returning home from a week long weight loss bootcamp in Devon at a time when I couldn’t even run to the top of the road I lived at…I came home 6lbs lighter, with some new ideas for food and a surprising enjoyment of running up…

Oh no….it’s already happening. Easter is still a few weeks away yet the supermarket shelves have been stocked with eggs of the chocolate variety for months and over the weekend my daughter arrived home from her dads with a chocolate bunny…pester power at its most rampant hey? I am not a big chocolate fan myself,…

Well, that got your attention didn’t it? Which is ironic really because that’s kind of the point of this particular blog post rant. You may (or may not have seen) whats been going on via social media over the last few days in regards to a new online diet plan/book being launched by Australian Nutritionist…
