Reebok EasyTone…er not so much!
Now FGs, we know that the words ‘easy’ and ‘tone’ should not really be in the same sentence anyway, since if it’s easy, there ain’t gonna be no tone and vice versa. We ain’t gonna lie, any shoe that claims to tone you just by wearing them doesn’t really wash. We’re hoping that none of [...]
Things I thought I knew, before I knew #3: The inner thigh toner!
Remember this bad boy FGs! This little pink inner thigh toner! Yeah baby, in just ten minutes a day as I slightly uncomfortably squeeze my thighs in and out, hoping not to do myself an injury, I dreamed of firm inner thighs! My brother had the male version, the big chest expander, that would have [...]
Why I’ve already opened all of my Christmas presents…
There are many reasons that I can think of to explain why with more than a few sleeps ’til Chrissy, I have unwrapped all that can be unwrapped. Is it my impatience? Maybe. Did I get the date wrong? Perhaps. Have I got rip-present-open-immediately syndrome? Not impossible. Can I not bring all of my presents [...]
Molsekin, you have excelled yourself. Ridiculously.
I love a notebook, in fact I love ten!! I oft find myself loitering in stationary shops with intent, searching for a reason to buy yet another one! So you can imagine my delight when I happened upon the Moleskin Colour a Month Daily Diary Planner. Now I’ve always loved how chic moleskin stuff looks [...]
The thing about being healthy over the holidays…
It’s only gonna hurt in January honey…
All I want for Christmas is a $500 KFC voucher…we don’t think so!
OK, so we all like to make a gift list right? Or at least I do. Hell my list starts on December 26th for the following year. If somebody asks me what I want for Christmas, girl fires her list right at ‘em! If you don’t ask, you don’t get! Oh and as FG readers [...]
Designing your own shoes is easy, no?
Have I told you about my new line of clothing? JT1978? I just finished the first piece on Friday. Ok so maybe it’s not a line of clothing, it’s just a little pair of shoesies that I designed all by myself! So you’ve probably heard of NIKEiD where you get to design your own shoe, [...]

Cooeee FGs, this post is by one of our inspiring readers Charlotte Freestone who is sharing her story about how far she has come with her fitness. Take it away Freest… It never used to be like this. I used to be able to enjoy myself without the need for endorphins running through my body. [...]

Things I thought I knew, before I knew #2: Supplement, not substitute!!
Ok so my next tale brings me back to university. Y’know, just a few years ago…ok,ok, the late bloody nineties and early noughties dammit! Now a beverage is a fairly cheap commodity for students (my taste for champagne had not yet developed) and despite being skint most of the time there was never a tipple-shortage!! [...]
December Must Haves: For the party girl in you!
Pass me the champagne honey!
Grandma knows best when it comes to cooking!
We’re not sure about you FGs but some of the best recipes that we know are hand-me-down ones. Y’know, a little bit of this and a dash of that, as suggested by your mother, who got it from her mother, who got it from her mother and so on! Well Innocent have come up with [...]
Lessons learnt from an annual trip away with my girlies
So this weekend marked the second anniversary of the annual weekend away with my girls. Last year was Paris, this year, Edinburgh. Now it must be noted that the four of us NEVER run out of things to say, if we were stranded on a desert island for two weeks, we would not notice the [...]

Yummy home-made muesli from the FG kitchen
You don’t ever have to worry about the secret sugar stashed in your cereal ever again!
Is it too early to start thinking about gifts? Cos we’ve found the perfect one!
Ok FGs, this may annoy you but I have been rather organised this year and am almost done with my Christmas shopping. Depressing I know if you haven’t done yours yet, I’d be depressed too, but let’s not wallow in your inefficiency! So I was having lunch with a friend the other day and she [...]
Get stuck in, you’ll be a whole lot happier!!
Researchers at Harvard University have told us that staying focused can keep us happy! Letting thine mind wonder when undertaking a task comes at a cost it seems! “A human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind,” state study authors, Matthew A. Killingsworth and Daniel T. Gilberta. Although we feel [...]
Sporting gals need a little recognition already!
Sisters, we have a crisis on our hands!! Remember a few months back when we were talking about our bad ass women’s rugby team and how they all still have full time jobs and stuff while the men are like the nation’s heroes! Now I don’t like to take anything away from the men, I [...]
