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 [...]
Oh my! The Challenge has caused quite a buzz!
We are way too excited about it at FGHQ!
Hair Update: 10p sized blob only…
Today I thought I’d write about the joys of finally getting my hair to a sufficient growth that has taken YEARS. Literally. See, in my final year of uni (eep 10 years ago), I thought I would pay a visit to one of those student hairdresser places for a cheap colour and snip. Wrong. So [...]
If we are family…why aren’t all my sisters with me?
Let’s start looking after each other ladies…
Oh working out feels so good!!
So a good pal Karen, pilates teacher extraordinaire, and a damn good writer had a baby 6 months ago! Little man is beautiful and I could eat him all up in one go!! Anyways Karen has started training at my studio once a week to get back in shape post-baby. During her first session yesterday, [...]
Forgive me for getting all sentimental on your ass but…
Was just thinking about one of my favourite quotes. Now I’m not really a chick’s chick in many ways, my sisters will tell you I’m way behind on fashion and general street cred! Make up takes me 2 minutes in the morning and I still can’t walk in high heels. Don’t get me wrong, I [...]
Ladies, I pulled this weekend!! A man with a van no less…
Literally…It’s how one manages to spend Saturdays oddly!! Although one of the girls had fierce nails when pulling, so wished I had painted mine…I felt shameful about the lack of glamour when undertaking such a task!! Oh and, yes, there was in fact a man inside the van steering!!
I just maxed out on nutrients!
Phew a weekend spent in Yorkshire with my BFF means that old girl has returned R.E.F.R.E.S.H.E.D!!!! Favourite part of the weekend aside from much belly laughter and breathing in the fresh air? Veggies for dinner picked fresh from the veggie patch an hour before munch time!!!! Think they got bored of my shrieks of excitement [...]

Toot toot!! That’s the sound of me off on my hols!! Gonna go climb some mountains in Verbier – woot!!! Can’t wait!! So you little sistas are just gonna have to hold tight for a week before we come back to you with some bangin’ posts!! Be good!! xx
Early morning observations…I felt violated!!
I’m sorry! In the morning, when I’m on my way to work, I blearily look around at passers by going about their day. It is rare that someone catches my eye, but this morning, I got a triple whammy of how-the-hell-not-to-start-your-morning-itus!! Viewing no. 1 – Chap walking down the street, drinking redbull! Bleuch!!!! In fact [...]
I’m sorry, what? Spelt Honey Puffs!!
So I was with a friend the other day who was telling me about how she has stopped eating bread and generally wheat-iness since she wants to beat the bloat and shed a few pounds!! Proud as punch she was! Ooh yeah, got ridda that nasty wheat, mmm hmmm!! It was then that it caught [...]
