Recently, I’ve become more aware that I am ageing. My skin is not as plump as it once was, I think I have rosacea and my chin feels like it’s getting far too friendly with my neck! With my 42nd birthday looming, I thought it was time to do something…

I started following someone on Tik Tok recently. Her videos around hormones really resonated with me, so much so that I started following her on Instagram as well, mainly because Tik Tok is a black hole and I want to limit my time on there. She recently shared a cycle…

Last week I wrote about my horror of feeling old. I spent a lot of time feeling regret about my past behaviours; why did I not get myself into a gym routine when I was 20? Why did I eat all those takeaways instead of salads when I first met…

Not only am I beginning to feel old, but I’m also beginning to look it! Recently, I needed to use a photo for something and I absolutely hate photos of myself. I know that hate is a strong word, but I really do. I’m just not photogenic. I know that…

My first reflection of 2023. I had hoped to be looking back on January and saying that I had lost a stone and had an abundance of new clients, but it didn’t quite go that way. That being said, it was a positive month overall and here’s why. Self Reflection…
