Check out Bobbi Brown’s ultimate beauty advice…
Whilst innocently perusing the February edition of Easy Living Magazine, we were delighted to read about Bobbi Brown’s ultimate beauty advice upon reading and we quote: “My ultimate beauty advice is exercise. It makes you look and feel better. That along with eating lots of vegetables, high-fibre foods and drinking loads of water, is the [...]
I think I’m in love with my vision board!
To say I was sceptical about this vision board thing is an overstatement! Really? I put pictures on the things I want on a bit of board and they come true? Well my friend was insistent on my doing one, and now, it is in fact the love of my life. I cannot get enough [...]
Food myth number 1 – “my portions are too big!”
If you’re not eating crap, we’re pretty sure you’re portion sizes are not too big. So many people use the “portion size” excuse for why they are a little weightier than they might like. Well we hate to break it to ya, but it’s the smaller portions of bad things that sneak into your day [...]
The Fit Girl Monthly Challenge – January
Ladies, we were so proud of your commitment during the 12 Week Challenge and knew that some of you were wanting to have a gentle nudge (read swift boot) to launch you into 2012. So in the spirit of setting challenges, we thought we should invite you to set some goals or habits that contribute [...]
Goals and Resolutions…oh wait, Dreams too!
Is it wrong that we have multitasked and given you not one, not two, but three options to crack on into 2012? Well, we have you cheeky little things, just in case any of you slip out of the net with only one of the above. First, let’s just clarify according to the Cambridge online [...]
What I learned in 2011 about goal setting…
I spent the last 3 months of 2011 making myself accountable for my goals to my good friend Rosa, most of you will know here as Rocofit. Basically we meet once a week to set small goals to help ourselves reach our bigger goals and make sure that by meeting each week we are progressing. [...]
Right now, I’m mostly into big, pretty books…
So my Christmas list this year is rather same-y, it’s books, books and more books! And not in a literary way, more just, big and pretty! I love a coffee table book, particularly photography books or books about home design. One day I might train a little less and become a fabric designer…oh wait, I’ll [...]
How not to get your phone stolen
A rather unfortunate thing happened to me last week, my mobile got snatched clean outta my hands, when I was sitting at a bus stop, texting. I was aware that phone snatching was on the up recently, but was very much caught by surprise. It happened at 10am, at a full bus stop, in a [...]
“Spaces not faces” – a rugby application that is useful for crowd dodging.
Get through the shopping crowds right here!
I bought me some new shizz!
Every airport visit is a purchase opportunity, no? Well I found myself in Stansted airport a few weekends ago with some time to kill and what better way to kill time than to have a wee browse in the shops! So in I went to Kurt Geiger, only to see the little make up pouch [...]
Green Energy on my plate!
Who knew that one could actually feel energised from eating greens? I mean I’m all about a little spinach and broccoli love and have it daily, but much to my dismay, I needed more, a lot more. Why the sudden green obsession? Well I went on a little (by little I mean I could barely [...]
Who inspires me? You do!
So a few weeks ago I write about what motivates me. This week I was inspired. Inspired by you. I took a bunch of like minded girls for an NTC session at Nike Town London. They absolutely smashed the session. Nothing pleases me more than seeing a bunch of girls giving it their all in [...]
Prioritise YOU this week FGs
Make a promise to yourself this week FGs. Prioritise you! Just pick one area of your life that you are going to commit to and do it! This week I have a busy one, so my first priority is sleep! At least 7 hours a night, always aiming for 8!! I just end up exhausted [...]
How to annoy your trainer.
Really annoy her.
Call me old fashioned but…
Ok I have done my best to get techy. It took me a good year to get used to my iPhone, feeling I had fully cheated on my BB (also techy but doesn’t have a store where you can buy an app for every living second of the day, so in this case less techy). [...]
Gym preeners, coming to a gym near you…
You walk into the changing room at the gym and there you find three girls lined up in front of the mirror, in their perfectly matched, lacy underwear, usually drying their hair, or moisturising. In fact the moisturisers are the most common culprits. Except they’re not just mindlessly engaging in getting ready, there’s definitely some [...]
Fun Friday antics with yours truly!
Got that Friday feeling FGs? I hope so, well I’m here to give your Friday a bit more shine, in a Touche Éclat way, y’know a good perk up! So, you know the way I’m always trying to fill you with fitness goodness knowing well that you are turning into Fit Girl minxes as I [...]
Nice little surprises…
So this weekend marked the annual weekend away I have with my girlies where we spend most of the weekend talking. A lot. You may remember our chat hindered us from barely leaving our apartment when we were in Edinburgh last year in my post ?. This year we decided to stay at my best [...]
Somebody asked me what motivates me. Here’s my answer…
It’s pretty short and sweet FGs. If I’m not doing it, nobody else is gonna do it for me. I came into this world by myself and it’s only myself I have to answer to if I don’t make the place I want in competition, if I’m not happy in my job, if I don’t feel [...]
I just received the best gift ever! A tea tree no less!
I’m a gifter! I love givin’ gifts, namely because I think I’ve got damn good taste (hmm either that or I’m really crap at reading fake I-love-it faces) and love to see the surprise on my giftee’s face when they open it. Anyways, yesterday I was that very joyful giftee when I became the proud [...]
