The Ultimate Self-Care Tool Kit for Festive Fun & Wellbeing: Resilience

The last 22 months of living through a pandemic have pushed most of us to the limit at least once or twice. It has called for a huge amount of adaptation and resilience. Perhaps there are many aspects of this "new" way of living and working that you have embraced and enjoyed, and many of the "old ways" that you’ve missed. A sense of autonomy is absolutely crucial for humans to flourish and thrive. So if you feel you’ve lost some level of autonomy to make decisions about how y

The Ultimate Self-Care Tool Kit For Festive Fun & Wellbeing: Replenish

Hands up, when it comes to food and drink, who gets a bit carried away in December (or maybe even earlier)? Once you start seeing the mince pies and Christmas treats on the supermarket shelves do you start convincing yourself it's ok to overindulge as much as you want now because you're planning a big detox in January? Hands up, who gets to 1st January feeling sluggish, bloated and a few kilos heavier than you'd like to be, regretting at least half of the over-indulging with

The Ultimate Self-Care Tool Kit for Festive Fun & Wellbeing: Recharge

You might be thinking 'tis the season to be jolly and make merry so what more do you need to recharge? But let's get real here - how recharging are late nights, too much booze and sugar overloads (not to mention cramming in all the shopping, deadlines and all the other urgent stuff that suddenly comes up in December)? OK, I promised I wouldn't be the fun police. I'm not saying you can't have some of these indulgences in your festive schedule! But before the silly season runs

The Ultimate Self-Care Tool Kit for Festive Fun & Wellbeing: REST

One of the craziest things when it comes to celebrating Christmas is the amount of self-sabotage that takes place! In the name of making merry and embracing the silly season, so many of us over do it, get run down, stressed and burnt out. Sometimes so much so that by the time Christmas and the holidays arrive we're battling a cold or the flu and the celebrations are ruined. There have been many Christmases in the past when I felt lousy and regretted not taking better care of

Creating the Perfect Mix of Festive Fun & Wellbeing with The Ultimate Self-Care Tool Kit.

OK let's be honest, who has a tendency to say yes to everything in December (and maybe even November too), and before you know it, you're completely run down? Maybe you fall into the trap of trying to burn the candle at both ends to hit end of year deadlines at work and ordering last minute presents whilst suffering from late nights and too many over-indulges. By the time the holidays actually arrive, you're exhausted and maybe even feeling sorry for yourself with the sniffle

International Men's Day 2021

Today is International Men's Day so a big shout out to all you amazing and inspiring guys. To mark the occasion and help raise awareness of this incredibly important day I have written a blog in collaboration with #trapezeHR. My article focuses on men's health, a topic that isn't talked about enough by far, especially the startling facts and figures regarding the gender gap when it comes to mental health and suicide rates. If you'd like to spend a few moments reading more you

Self-Care for Immunity

This blog follows on from the previous one, a part two if you like, discussing how you can utilise The Ultimate Self-Care Tool Kit to boost your immunity. So let's talk about RELATIONSHIPS, RESILIENCE and RENOVATE.... RELATIONSHIPS If there was ever a time that our sense of connectivity and community has been tested, it's been this past 18 months.

What?! Battling Bugs Already!

What a start to our school experience. It’s week two of reception class for my son and guess what, he’s home sick with a snotty nose and grotty cold already, and I can feel myself fighting the early signs and symptoms too 🤧😏 To be fair, it was inevitable that our immune systems, (that haven’t been exposed to anything like the normal amount of germs that they normally would in life outside of lockdowns), would get a big wake up call once we started mingling again. As frust

Why Go Organic?

September is Organic Month here in the UK so I decided this was a good time to share a quick summary on Organic Farming and Produce, as well as some additional links if you'd like to dive into the topic further. Going organic has been growing in popularity in recent times. More and more people are getting back to the old ways of growing fresh produce at home, waiting lists for allotments are longer than ever, and organic markets are popping up everywhere. Even the range of or
