A lot of you have realised recently that I've been really invested in improving my health, more specifically my diet and my exercise routine... or lack thereof. It's been about 6 weeks now that I've made wellness a priority and so I thought I would share with you a...
Let's be honest, 2020 was probably one of the most testing years for most of us when it came to our mental health, and I'm pretty positive that 2021 is going to be very similar. Mental health is something I've always spoken very openly about here (I'll link some at...
Being a parent is hard work; not only are you trying to keep a small human alive, but when you pop that kid out, you automatically open yourself up to a whole new world of criticism and judgement. And not only from other people, but from yourself as well! I know this...
If there is one thing that I have never been shy to speak about, it’s my struggle with post natal depression. It took me by complete surprise after I had Aria; not because I didn’t think that I would get it, but more because the symptoms weren’t what I expected. You...
Two weekends ago we hosted a MamaMeetUp at the Discovery Vitality HealthyFood Studio and once again, I was reminded how amazing it is. The MeetUp was the third time I had cooked in the state of the art kitchen, each time was so much fun and I learnt so much from the...
Body positivity is without a doubt, one of the new buzz words, it really does seem to be everywhere we look. Don’t get me wrong, it’s such an important message to spread, and I am so glad that it is finally getting some airtime. What I do wish though, is that I could...
Towards the end of last year I was just feeling a bit sluggish, probably end of the year burn out. I had read quite a bit about IV infusions, they seemed to be all the rage and the benefits sounded incredible. I was thrilled when Skin Renewal invited me to have some...
Well January flew by in what felt like a second, and here I sit writing out my February goals. I thought a nice addition to these monthly goal posts would be to reflect on the previous month and it's highlights, let me know if you enjoyed this addition in the comments...
Ah January, back to healthy eating and sweating it out in the gym, amirite? I'm planning a "what I wear to work out" post for sometime soon-ish but for today, I wanted to chat about three products for your gym routine; two from Mama Mio and one from Mio (okay, they're...
Here I go again... I had such a wonderful response to this original article and then my website went BOOM! and everything disappeared. So many of you sent me emails and DM's asking for the link to the article so I decided to rewrite the whole thing. This version might...
Some people just seem to love exercise, I am just not one of them. I've never been one to wake up in the morning ready to hit gym, climb a mountain or go for a run. To be honest, there are a ton of other things that I would prefer to do... like snuggle in bed with a...
Breakfast has always been my most difficult meal, I find it tough to feel inspired to whip something up that I will enjoy, without it being ridiculously unhealthy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good fry up here and there but on a day to day basis, I like to have...
I wouldn't go as far as calling myself cynical, but the idea of self care and being mindful always seemed a bit too far out for me, and I could only imagine feeling awkward if I tried it out. But as we began 2017 and I took stock of my life and decided that a detox...
I try to keep things open and honest over here as much as I can, I like to think that we can all learn from each others experiences, whether good or bad. Post natal depression is something I have been wanting to write about for a while but the time never seemed right....
This is is a bit of a switch up from the normal type of posts that I do – usually the blog is filled with beauty and skincare but every now and then I like to throw something different into the mix to keep things interesting. I love coffe. I love take away...
I have always had the firm belief that the quality of our skin is determined not only by what we apply topically but also by our diet. If we eat a Big Mac three times a week, we can’t really expect to have perfectly healthy, glowing, blemish free skin - unless...
