Hey guys and gals, Now the summer days are upon us (ish) I've been able to get back to running regularly. Run commutes in London have increased by 51% and there’s many a reason why us city folk are donning our trainers - and you should too. I run home from work once a week, …

Hi guys and girls, It was a few months back, when I was on holiday in Prague when my bestie took a picture of me in the spa and I thought damnnnn I need to get back on it in the gym - my bum looks like an actual pancake. And as much as I …

It was the first Bank Holiday Monday in May when I met up with my friend Colette back in Bristol for an early morning yoga session at Trika Yoga, followed by a healthy brekkie.

Hello my lovelies! As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week, I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and write a little bit about mental health. It’s okay for us to complain about an achy shoulder or go to the doctors about getting migraines (tick and tick), but it seems to take a lot more courage …
