I have had many interesting discussions about Cancer Research UK’s latest campaign with friends, family, mental health professionals, psychologists, nutritionists and other healthcare professionals.* If you have not yet seen CRUK’s new campaign, it features a cigarette packet stating, “obesity is a cause of cancer…like smoking, obesity puts millions of adults at greater risk of...

Having recently received yet another targeted ad inviting me to take part in an 'eight week summer fat blast challenge', I wanted to share my thoughts on why I will always say “no thanks” to diet culture. Diet culture is all around us. It’s plastered over social media, at the gym, on food packaging, in... Continue Reading →
I was asked to write this post by a friend who struggles with anxiety. I hope they find it helpful, and I hope that others do too. Earlier this year, I was encouraged to start journaling*. I made a half-hearted attempt at this a few months ago but, to put it bluntly, I didn't really... Continue Reading →

This is most definitely not the blog I thought I would be posting this week; in fact it was quite the opposite, as I had written a blog all about my next challenge (which I will explain in a later post, when I am no longer on crutches!) This is most definitely not the blog... Continue Reading →
It’s hard to put into words how much I enjoyed the VMLM (even though those who saw me in the latter stages of the marathon might think otherwise, so perhaps I will rephrase that and say that I enjoyed approx. 86% of VMLM). I don’t think I stopped smiling for the first 22 miles. I... Continue Reading →
Originally, this post was titled 28 thoughts on turning 28. Just before posting it, I realised that my list of 28 insights on turning 28 was cliché, dull, and probably not 100% honest. Therefore, here are my honest thoughts on turning the big 2-8 in a few days… When I was a young and foolish... Continue Reading →
