I don’t know your thoughts on Valentine’s Day but mine are that it’s all a very overrated ploy. A huge love campaign to make men and women spend a colossal amount of money all for the sake of “affirming” their love. Restaurants double or even triple their…

Sunday’s for me are all about relaxation. Where I grew up in South Wales Sunday’s always followed a similar structure of roast lunch, board games a long walk and an early night ready for school the next day. Everything for miles was closed and unless…

Back before I gave up gluten, dairy and grains I used to think, somewhat naively, that having a bowl of granola with skimmed milk was a good start to the day. By 11am I would be craving a diet coke and by 3pm I would…

Growing up my brother and I used to love Angel Delight, he would always go for the strawberry (which I thought tasted like chemicals) and I would have the chocolate. Although we had a pretty competitive and tumultuous childhood relationship, we were in fact very…

For the last couple of weeks I have really been putting my new Nutribullet through its paces. Anything that can be smoothied, has been smoothied! It’s so simple to use, easy to clean and blends everything to smooth perfection. Every green smoothie I seem to…

Now I’m not going to lie to you, I’m going to be brutally honest. I have not been to the gym in five weeks… Ok I suppose it’s technically six. There, I’ve said it, I’ve confessed. My body is so unused to movement that after…

If you fancy a bowl full of soup packed with vitamins that’s super quick, cheap and utterly delicious then look no further. This is a soup that I can guarantee you will want seconds and thirds from and before you know it you will be…

Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a pretty rocky start for me, having been struck down with flu just after Christmas I then ended up in hospital over new year! It seems diabetes + flu = medical chaos , I wouldn’t recommend it! So, having…

It’s finally here, the night before Christmas. The streets are deserted, windows glowing with festive warmth, there’s a winter chill in the air and an impending sense of magic. Tree’s are sparkling and laden below them brightly covered packages ready to be flung open, loved and enjoyed.…
