I’m an avid believer in carving out a good life for yourself. I’m not talking about anything material here. I’m talking about looking after your physical, spiritual and mental health and viciously guarding it. We were created to live a full and joyful life, but if we don’t take care […]
I did a full review of the Sirtfood Diet several years ago. If you are interested in that you can read it here. I don’t usually “diets”, per say, but I can highly recommend this one if you need to shift some weight rather quickly…..and safely. It works. (And did […]
I’ve really been turning over a new leaf out here during our lockdown. Well……..maybe it’s an old leaf- but it needed turning over again just the same! In the struggle to organize my life and set my self up for health and fitness success, I thought I’d share with you […]
