Let me start by saying I am not bashing anybody for their content creation methods, neither am I so obtuse I expect the world of blogging to stay the same for all time, but I am writing this merely as an observation, from somebody who has been blogging for over ten years now, and who remembers the old school style, where the name bloggers was used for people who you...
Features press samples I make no secret of the fact that I find autumn and winter a challenge. I suffer with Seasonal Affective Disorder, which means that as the daylight lessens and the Vitamin D levels drop, I tend to get low and my mental health is really affected. In order to combat this, I try and plan lots of things to keep me occupied and I also try and...

I am certainly not qualified to actually teach you how to spin properly, nor am I pretending too be… Read on if you are considering a Spin class, or if you just fancy a laugh at my...
Early this year I made the decision to come off of antidepressants and it was absolutely the best decision for me. Let me start by a) providing a little back story and b) providing a disclaimer that you should not come off any medication that has been prescribed to you cold turkey, as it can be incredibly dangerous.

Wow, this is the longest I have gone without posting for a long time, but the truth is, life has been going at 100 miles an hour since I went back to work following having Covid back in the autumn. I was thrown right back into things when I went back as I was shooting a winter video on location around the hotels. There are fifteen in total and, although...
Around a month ago, I became very poorly within a very short amount of time. It felt like a heavy cold, but one that knocked me out and left me reeling. I had a fever and became delirious one night, and the next day I could barely move out of bed. I felt shattered, kept falling asleep and had no energy at all. It felt like it had come out...
Over the past month I have gone through an intense period of stress in my life. It very much felt like one thing came after another and life just wouldn’t give me a break.
