💛 A gentle reminder:

Life has a way of asking so much of us—work, family, responsibilities, the endless to-do list. It’s easy to put yourself at the very bottom (again). But when you do, the weight can quietly build until it feels too heavy to carry.

Self-care isn’t about grand gestures or picture-perfect routines. It’s the small, simple acts that keep you grounded—resting when you’re tired, saying no when you need to, reaching out when your heart feels full or heavy.

If you don’t give yourself that care now, life may not always leave space later. You deserve the same love and patience you give to everyone else. 🌿✨

🌟 Small Changes = Big Results 🌟

The other day at rugby, I overheard a mum say,

“I just can’t stop wanting something sweet after dinner.” 🍩

Here’s the truth:
That craving isn’t about being “weak” or “lacking willpower” — it’s your brain searching for a reward.

After a full day of juggling work, kids, house, emotions (and everyone else’s emotions 😅), your mind craves a signal that says: Day done. You can rest now.
And sugar? It’s the quickest, loudest signal around.

But here’s the exciting part…
💥 You don’t have to go cold turkey.
💥 You don’t have to give up all the things you love.

You just have to start tiny. Because small, consistent swaps can completely rewire that reward loop:

✨ Replace dessert with something naturally sweet — juicy berries, a square of dark chocolate, or a calming herbal tea.
✨ Go for a 5-minute walk and let your nervous system decompress.
✨ Brush your teeth straight after dinner so your brain gets a new “switch off” signal.

Every time you make one small change, you’re building a new habit…
and those tiny habits? They stack up.
They compound.
They create momentum.

💛 This is how big results are born.
Not through restriction. Not through guilt.
Through tiny, doable actions repeated with love.

🍭 Sugar & Your Mood: The Hidden Connection

We all know sugar can give us a quick “pick-me-up”… but here’s what happens behind the scenes 👀

🧠 When you eat sugary foods, your blood sugar spikes — giving you a burst of energy and releasing dopamine, the brain’s feel-good chemical. This is why sugary treats can feel comforting or even addictive.

⚡ But after the high comes the crash. Blood sugar levels drop rapidly, which can leave you feeling:

😴 Tired or sluggish

😡 Irritable or anxious

😢 Moody or low

📉 Over time, diets high in added sugar are linked to a higher risk of Depression and Anxiety. Constant sugar spikes and crashes can affect your brain’s ability to regulate emotions and stress.

💛 The good news? Choosing balanced meals (with protein, fibre and healthy fats) helps keep blood sugar steady — and your mood more stable too!

✨ Remember: you don’t have to cut sugar completely — just be mindful of how much you’re having and how it makes you feel.

🌿 A New Chapter Unlocked 🌿

Today marks my first day as a full-time Health Coach — something I’ve been aspiring towards since graduating in March 2023.

I’m so thankful for the 13 months I spent supporting patients at Royal United Hospitals Bath. That experience taught me so much, but it became clear that my skills, knowledge, and passion lie in preventative health care. It was time to take the leap and align my work with both my mind and soul.

And there’s no rest for the wicked…

Today, Aimee and I are heading to a beautiful organic working farm in Chew Valley to capture some photos and videos for the marketing of our FIRST EVER DAY RETREAT! 🌸

Believe me — you won’t want to miss this 💛
Join us for a day of self-care, surrounded by nature’s beauty. Let’s stretch, breathe, reflect, nourish our bodies, and gently set intentions for the winter to come.

We welcome you with open hearts and cannot wait to share this day with you.

✨ More details coming soon — follow our pages to stay updated! ✨

I am so excited! Eeks!

🍭 Sugar Fact 🍭

Did you know the average person now eats over 20 teaspoons of added sugar every day — that’s more than triple the recommended amount by World Health Organisation? 😱

Too much added sugar is linked to Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, and energy crashes ⚡ — even when it hides in “healthy” foods like yogurts, cereals, and sauces.

💡 Tip: Check nutrition labels — 4g of sugar = 1 teaspoon!

🌱 Remember, real transformation doesn’t happen overnight — it’s built through the small, consistent choices you make every single day. Something as simple as drinking enough water is one of the most powerful acts of self-care you can practice.

Every sip is a message to your body: I’m looking after you. I’m choosing health. I’m moving forward.

So keep that water bottle close, pause when you need to, and give yourself permission to refill — literally and figuratively. These small steps will carry you further than you think. You’re building momentum, and you’re stronger than you realise.

Clean living is a great way to lead a healthy lifestyle and enjoy the benefits of improved mental clarity, increased energy levels, better overall health, and more ✨

With clean living, you can make better choices when it comes to eating habits, exercise routine, and other activities.

Not only will you be able to stay fit and healthy, but you’ll also benefit from improved sleep patterns, reduced stress levels and an overall sense of wellbeing 💞

Clean living also helps reduce your risk of developing certain illnesses and increases your body’s ability to fight off infections.

It's a great way to get your life back on track as it encourages mindful behaviour that is beneficial for our body in so many ways 🎉

Not only does it provide physical benefits but it can also help improve mental well-being by enabling us to focus on our goals and be productive in our daily lives.
