I have completed 4 days of eating non processed, low carb food and I must say I am pretty happy! The HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) sessions had to be skipped though due to injury which is a pity as I think they would yield some great results. I'm looking forward to seeing the back of … Continue reading 4 days down – Lean in 15 update
You know that first day of the diet when you are determined to make a change and stick to it this time? The day where you are bursting with enthusiasm and energy, ready to take the bull by the horns?

Everyone is talking about Joe Wicks, the Lean in 15 guy and the kind of incredibly hot looking guy! I have been following Joe on Instagram for quite a while now and was going to sign up to his plan (90 day SSS) a while ago but found out I was pregnant soon after. (Saved … Continue reading Joe Wicks – Lean in 15

If there was one part of me that I could change, it would be my eyebrows! Well, actually I'd start with my nose (lol) and then my brows. Mine are the brows of beauticians nightmares - over plucked, sparse and they grow downward. I've had a consultation for high definition brows and told I was … Continue reading Browtastic!
This will not come as a shock to most of you, but we definitely do not eat enough fish in our diets. It is recommended to have at least 2 portions a week, which is not that hard really, it's just not a habit that most of us are in. By the way, let's not … Continue reading Eat Fish!
Red cheeked baby, wash basket full of bibs, Mammy and Daddy sleep deprived - just another day in the life of the family with the teething baba. Just when you have them settled and out of the 'colicky phase' the next era of grumpy, crying baby begins. And this one lasts a lot longer. We … Continue reading Battle of the Teething Gels
When you see someone walking like John Wayne, it doesn't always mean that they've just done their fake tan. With lots of us returning to or starting various exercise regimes, there are a lot of sore bum muscles hobbling about! I'm one of them as I've just gone back to training post Xmas and post … Continue reading Post Workout Soreness – the ‘I cannot walk’ syndrome
You've all heard them; that thing your mother/grandmother says that makes you roll your eyes. (But you secretly do as they say in case it is true). Some are outrageous, some just make good sense. I've rounded up some of the ones I've been told over the years from the various, 'wiser' ladies in my … Continue reading Ah that’s an Old Wives tale!
After I cleaned out the hot press (which remains in order so far!) I began using toy rotation for my toddler. My little guy has a very short attention span, and I noticed that a toy was very quickly gathering dust after it had been left in his reach for a few days. Now when … Continue reading Toy Rotation – keeping little minds busy
It's that time of year when we all have over indulged. Muffin tops are more prevalent, bra straps a pinchin and the odd biscuit or two makes it into 'breakfast'. Personal trainers start rubbing their hands together in anticipation of our hard earned cash. Every diet drink and program starts rearing its familiar head. Pressure … Continue reading Put down the chocolate digestive.
Our hair can really take a bashing over xmas, from straightening and styling to outside elements of late! I'm always on the look out for products to give my hair a boost and I think the Lee Stafford range is a winner.
