It can be quite frustrating to hear when you’re not as fit as you’d like to be, but it’s the truth. Once you get used to working out regularly, you become uncomfortable with not working out.

Exante Diet Have Had a Rebrand!
Just over 2 year’s ago I started looking at various diet plans and tried to find out just how sustainable they are long-term and the benefits of each one. During that time I have worked with quite a few diet companies and learnt a lot about myself and my ‘issues’ with food. As well as everything I have learnt, I have healthily lost 1st 9lbs which I’m over the moon about as I feel great and back to how I felt before I had the girls!

Creating The Perfect Date Night When You Have Kids!
Since having Mia, like every other parent out there, our nights out on the town have become a long distant memory! We are lucky enough to have my mum and stepdad who have Mia for us once a month so we can go out for a meal or go to the cinema but it’s definitely not the same. It took us about 2 years to get back into the ‘swing’ of going out and when we have moved house, we especially wanted to spend some time together as Becca and Mario as opposed to just Mummy and Daddy all the time. So how do you go about creating the perfect…

Modibodi: The Reusable Leakproof Underwear for Protected Periods
I have written about reusables previously and about 18months ago made the switch to reusable make up pads, wipes for Lottie and reusable period products. It took me a while to get used to each set of products, but I can definitely see the benefit of using reusables and cutting down hugely on our plastic use! The products that have taken me until the last few months to use are the period products. I wasn’t sure about using them solely during my periods for a long, long while. I was happy to use them at the start and end of each period but wasn’t so confident about using them all…

Growing Plants with the I’m a Genius Botanical Laboratory
We have always had an interest in plants and flowers as well as trying to grow our own mushrooms, tomatoes and lettuce. When we have our own house, we definitely would love to have a garden big enough to have a veggie patch so we could start growing as many fruit and vegetables as we can!
