I’m A Grown Up & I Have Braces
It’s probably a lot more common than I think for adults to have braces but it’s taken me a few years to really take the plunge. Something triggered me to actually go, yeah, OK I’m going to treat myself to a new set of teeth because I hate them and I’m sick of trying to kid myself I don’t!

Multipower Review
Today, I’ve got a little protein-fuelled review for you! The Multipower 100% Pure Whey Protein in the Coffee Caramel flavour has 24g of pure protein pure serving as well as only 1.4g of carbs and 5.7g of BCAAs. This mega tub is 67 portions which is going to last me absolutely ages. This tastes so good, if you’ve used The Protein Works protein in the same flavour, it’s almost identical to that so is really nice. I love to make a protein coffee cooler with this protein plus a teaspoon of instant coffee and a little milk and water blitzed up with a load of ice! Try it, trust me.
How To Get Fit When You Hate The Gym
There are so many alternatives to joining the gym nowadays. It often makes more sense to get fit in your own home than to spend all that money on a gym membership.
Get Your Walk On
It’s often the smallest things that can have the biggest impact on your overall health. One of the things that you should do more of is walking. It doesn’t cost a penny to walk about more often. In fact, it can actually save you money if it means that you take the car a little less. Paying for fuel is not cheap, and that’s before you start adding up the other costs like car insurance. You could even ditch the car altogether. Simply walking to the shop a couple of times a week, or being the person who takes the dog for a walk can improve your fitness levels dramatically.
3 Winter Allergies & How To Overcome Them
Allergies are common. In fact, according to Allergy UK, a quarter of Brits suffer from these reactions at some stage in their lives. In winter, things can get even worse for those prone to these immune system responses. When temperatures tumble and we’re forced to spend more time in our homes, indoor allergens can wreak havoc on our bodies, causing sneezing, watery eyes, congestion and a range of other symptoms.

There are a few things women need to do, in my opinion to ensure they get the best body they’ve ever had, and it probably goes against everything they’ve ever learned!
#SwearByIt With Vita Coco Oil
Hands up who loves coconut oil? *Insert emoji girl here*
For me, coconut oil is a must for cooking with, I especially like it when I’m making Asian food like stir-fry or curries! I also love it when my skin’s playing up as a moisturiser when I don’t want to use any harsh chemicals or artificial products.
