Reader vision board share, have you made yours?
Lots of you have been emailing us excited about your vision boards, inspiring aren’t they! One of our lovely readers Leyla has shared hers, take a look! Since we have posted about the vision board we have been having so many conversations with people telling us how many things have come true on their vision [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
A personal share. I am ashamed, but thou shalt all learn from it.
This rather embarrassing share is to give you a magnified (literally) insight into what happens when one eats too much wheat. So my thirtieth birthday, was first spent holidaying for a week in Italy, Cinque Terre to be precise. Now, I’m not gonna lie, I had croissants for breakfast, pasta for lunch and pasta for [...]
