Om Yoga Studio, Cardiff I’ve always wanted to like yoga. I liked the idea of it more than anything. Everyone that does yoga seems lovely and eternally happy. Their skin is radiant and they always seem to have so much confidence in the bedroom – in the films, at least. So I signed up […]

A friend of mine started ’#40newthings’ this time last year and I absolutely loved watching all she got up to. This year Victoria is back with more and I decided to join her, with my very own take on Lent. No abstinence, just a commitment to embracing new things. What I quickly came to realise […]

Around the second anniversary of Mothership’s death, unbeknown to me, Andy wrote me a letter. Not only was it a truly beautiful gesture but it captured everything I felt – and felt I needed to say – but simply didn’t have the energy to do so. When Andy presented the letter to me, tears rolled with […]

I’m having a baby!!! And it feels nothing short of totally wonderful and pretty amazing. But it also felt like it was never going to happen. [skip the next nine paragraphs if you just want the key takeaway] At the beginning of 2013 after Mothership died I bizarrely didn’t really notice that my monthly period appeared […]

On Saturday I attended the rather brilliant Pop-Up Waste Café cooking class with Lia’s Kitchen, WRAP Cymru, Green City and Love Food Hate Waste.

Life all too often feels like a bit of a game, doesn’t it? You’ll win some days, lose others and sometimes just cut your losses and call it a draw. A freezing farewell to 2014 on Dunstable Downs I’ll never forget waking up on January 15th 2014. It was like coming off the back of […]

Christmas morning 2014 There’s a lot to be said for traditions that pass down through generations and Christmas traditions mean something to each of us. As a family we’ve always had a pretty straightforward December 25th that followed a very similar, lovely patten. Wake up, open the sacks that Santa has left (we were never […]

When the lovely folks at Foodies 100 asked me to write a guide to a healthy (ish – no one likes a kill joy, eh?) Christmas there was no doubt that dear Brussels sprouts would feature. These fellas are the unsung heroes of the festive season. I’m a huge fan of them roasted in coconut […]

I can’t remember when I first came across the Hemsley + Hemsley sisters’ column for Vogue but what I do remember distinctly is rolling my eyes. “Here we go again.” I thought. “Former model Jasmine presents smoothies and salads and not a lot else.” *sigh* But something kept me reading. And I’m glad that it did. […]
