Is comparison stealing your happiness and confidence? In today’s world we are bombarded with perfect images of bodies, lifestyles, homes, holidays, careers, relationships and it can quite frankly make your own little life feel a little poop right. In my new video this week, I just wanted to share with you how I felt about this silly little thing we do, comparing our lives to a snapshot of someone elses and then beating ourselves up for not being perfect…
Take a Nakd bar, it’s packaged, processed and shop bought but only contains two ingredients dates and cashews! For some people this is clean and super healthy but for others they would be insist on having to make it themselves with organic dates and activated cashews. Nothing is right, nothing is wrong but ultimately it’s about finding what works for you and balance!
When was the last time you really had fun? The other week, I went down to Cornwall with my four best friends and had so much fun. The week leading up to this trip, I was feeling quite run down, had an ulcer, was exhausted and was craving FUN!
Like a bad hair day, sometimes we can wake up a little down in the dumps for no reason at all! I haven’t really felt myself the last couple of days and have been a little down in the dumps on some days for the last few weeks. Some people have even noticed and asked if I’m okay which was at first making me feel really uneasy and defensive. I’d beat myself up for letting people see that I was a bit groggy and not my usual positive bright self but sometimes I just can’t help being a little subdued.
If you try to be something you’re not, you’ll end up being nothing.
I’ve recently had a little bit of a talking to myself. It happened after something my amazing boyfriend said to me after I posted something on instagram. It made me stop and question am I really staying true to me and showing who I really am on social media or am I being influenced by others, others with say more followers/more opportunities.
Okay, I admit sometimes I am not motivated to workout or even eat really healthy at all. Some of us might not even be gym bunnies, yogis or own spirulina and that’s okay. In my video this week, I tell you my lazy girls tips to a summer body.
I love drinking green tea, I find it so refreshing, cleansing and energising. As we heading towards Summer, I wanted to experiment with making a green tea smoothie and this baby was born. It’s so so delicious- trust me. Even if you don’t like green tea then you’ll still love this smoothie. I filmed how to make the smoothie on my Youtube
Everyone is always trying to do better and be better. Save more, workout more, stress less, sleep more, be kinder, think more positive, read more, drink more water, be less angry, more fun, more grateful, more motivated, the list goes on. It’s like we just aren’t good enough and constantly need fixing. Well I just want to say lovely, you don’t need fixing!
The thought of having three nourishing homemade meals a day prepared for me for a whole weekend was enough to get me on the Eurostar to Chateau de la Vigne, the fabulous nutritional therapist May Simpkin’s home away from home where she hosts Optimum Living Retreats with friend and fellow foodie, Colette Heneghan. Well I can truly say this retreat offers so much more than I could have dreamed of.
I don’t normally do blog posts on specific brands I love but I thought it was necessary for Neal’s Yard Remedies for a few reasons. I get asked a lot about my skincare routine so thought I’d update you on the newest products to my routine which are all Neal’s Yard and they have changed my skin in a matter of days!
