I heard the sound before I felt the pain 😬 I was so excited that I could finally get into full splits after years of yoga. The problem was in my excitement I’d rushed into it this time without my usual stretching routine - argh! I jumped up (as quickly as I could given I’d just torn my hamstrings!) Five minutes is all it would have taken to prepare properly but this would cost me a month in injury time
HI love I usually write giving you wellness tips, 3 tips for gut health and that kind of thing, but I was thinking that although those emails can be helpful, the emails, podcasts and content I really love is when people share what’s actually happening with them. Im not planning to turn this blog into some kind of a self involved journal, I’ve got enough of those in my bedside drawer ☺️ but I thought that this week, for a change, I’d share something I’m personally struggling withand what I’m trying to do about it. And, if you have any advice for me - please reply back and share! Phone addiction- I can’t switch off in the evening! In...

For those of us who’ve got through health and/or weight issues by changing our diets celebrations where we feel socially obliged to eat things we wouldn’t normally can be a bit stressful. I try to avoid being too restrictive or controlling around food so I’m fairly relaxed and have learnt to trust myself to eat what I fancy, but if I have time I do like to make some...
Hey love it’s my birthday today! (or it will be when you get this as I’m writing this in advance) We have a pretty set view of what birthday celebrations look like in our culture, lots of refined sugar, alcohol and big groups of people. This is fine if you love all that but on my 43rd trip around the sun I feel more self acceptance than ever and less interest in following the culture than ever so I’ll be celebrating by spending the day with my love going for a walk and then brunch probably here and seeing my friends in smaller groups for dinners.So no big meet ups, overspending, drinking more than I want or refined sugar hangovers...
