Eating out

from 10th July 2013 by .

A couple of weeks back we took my Dad to the glorious Mint & Mustard for a Father’s Day supper. I’d heard great things about Cardiff’s ‘posher’ Indian restaurant and was looking forward to giving many of the dishes a go. Yep, they were this good: While I was there it got me thinking about […]

This week I (went freelance)…

from 5th July 2013 by .

A special edition that captures what freelance life has brought with it. I read some awesome things (started with that Guardian cover article  and chose Jay Rayner’s offering from my summer reading pile), I worked out (twice a day in some cases) – two of which were new work outs (spinning and a kettle bells session), […]

Do you suffer from FOMO?

from 1st July 2013 by .

It’s time to address my Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). I’m really starting to get on my own nerves. I’m wedded to my phone, glued to my social media feeds and constantly refreshing my stats page for my blog. My phone’s the last thing I put down at night, the first thing I pick up […]

This week I….

from 28th June 2013 by .

Number thirteen (unlucky for some, definitely not me!) in a series of Friday posts looking at a very quick snapshot of the week that was. Ate:  Well, drank, if we’re being particular about things. I arrived in London for the hand over of my last proper day in PR to a glorious selection of PLENISH […]

I hate my body, I love my life

from 26th June 2013 by .

If there’s one thing that gets on my (far from perfect) tits it’s this notion that women should feel obliged to celebrate their imperfections. Is it not ok to want to do something about the bits you hate? I wear leggings to the gym under my shorts because I hate my cellulite and varicose veins; […]

This week I….

from 21st June 2013 by .

Number twelve in a series of Friday posts looking at a very quick snapshot of the week that was. This week I… Ate:  Egg whites. I am the yolk’s closest friend, I extoll its virtues time and time again. But if all you want is whites and you’re not in the market for home made […]

Who’s the bad guy when it comes to GMO?

from 19th June 2013 by .

Ok, before I open the flood gates so wide as to potentially drown myself, let me make something absolutely clear here: I AM NOT PRO GMO. Right, onwards… Regular followers of this blog will know I love a Chipotle treat. I’ve been there twice this year already – pretty good going considering I made my […]

My first visit to CrossFit Hackney

from 19th June 2013 by .

The blow of having to be in London on a weekend to sit a bio-chemistry exam was cushioned by my first visit to CrossFit Hackney. Last Friday night I shut the revision books, stuck two fingers up to oxidative phosphorylation and the Bohr (bore…?) Effect and headed East to London’s hottest new workout ticket in […]

This week I….

from 14th June 2013 by .

Number eleven in a series of Friday posts looking at a very quick snapshot of the week that was. Ate:  Nothing hugely spectacular, I must admit BUT this week has been all about being organised. I’ve been working, spinning a thousand side project plates and prepping for my exam on Saturday. As such, food prep […]

Celebrating mini victories

from 12th June 2013 by .

Last week I did a wall walk. A proper one. My first proper one. Chest to floor to start, belly button to wall to finish. It felt so good. This wall walk got me thinking – amazing the kind of thoughts that whip through your mind as all the blood rushes to your head – […]
