Lockdown – from lavish lunching to decadent dining by way of serious snacking, we can safely say we have packed on a bit of what I like to fondly call “Pandemic Poundage” over the past few months. Yup, unfortunately there’s only so much all you can eat madness whilst binging on Netflix that a body can take sadly…and mine had seen a LOT of that over the last 5 months. So I decided it was time to start taking first steps towards getting my weight back to its usual comfort zone. I know part of getting back in control is food prep but heck, food prep can be tiresome, pricey and requires…thinking. I wanted quick, healthy, quality meals that were as convenient as they were tasty and at a good price to boot. So prepare to meet your food prep saviour in the form of Musclefood Prepped Pots!

So, we’re going through a pandemic…not exactly the best of times hey? When boy band Blue joyously sang about “having the city on Lockdown”, I doubt this is what they had in mind!

Sparking Joy: How To Bring Hygge To Your Garden

March 8, 2019March 8, 2019 Fashion Du Jour LDNLeave a comment

If you’re as much of a social media addict as us, chances are you’ve spied the word ‘hygge’ more than once on your daily scroll. Hygge is all about simplicity – the joy of achieving simple cosiness in the home. And isn’t that something we all want in our lives? Heck yes! The hygge way of life is all about making people feel comfortable, cosy, and enjoy the simple things. Through being minimalist, it in turn allows you to enjoy what you have to its fullest. But doesn’t that sound much like another trending social media craze? If you haven’t heard of Marie Kondo and her now-infamous KonMari – it’s time to become part of the “Tidying Up” revolution! In short, the KonMari method is about giving your house a jolly good tidying up, going through items one-by-one and only keeping those which ‘spark joy’. By the end of a long session of KonMari-ing, you will have no doubt picked up items you haven’t seen in years, eBayed a huge portion of clutter, and discovered a suddenly much more minimalist look to the home. So, once our homes are suitably minimalist, clean, tranquil, tidy, hygge’d and KonMari’d, what’s left to do? Well, we reckon these useful concepts could easily be taken outside and into the gardens of 2019. With spring in the air, now is the perfect time to get planning! So click this way and prepare to spark even more joy…

Breathe in and yup, you guessed it – the heavily perfumed whiff of all things “Valentine” is distinctly in the air. Now I don’t know if you are like us when it comes to contemplating what to get your special someone, but we just love to give memories, rather than chocolates and flowers.

Whether you are doing the surprising or you are the surprised…that age old dilemma is sure to come to mind: what DO I pack?!

Skin Deep: A 30 Something’s Guide To Laser vs Chemical Peels

I know! It’s really hard to believe but I am closer now to my 40s than I am to my 30s (You better be nodding your head right about now!!). The older I get, the more comfortable I am in my skin, mentally. But heck…it’s always nice to feel comfortable in it physically. Yes, beauty IS skin deep – but it’s a great place to start to feel more confident as a whole. In fact, with the skin being the largest organ of your whole body, it deserves to be looked after accordingly. I in NO WAY want invasive procedures but have started to research other non-invasive treatments. And among other things that kept popping up as an option? Laser vs. chemical peels. However, when anyone mentions the words laser or chemical “peel”, I don’t know about you, but my scaredy catness level goes to 11! But fear not fellow filly, click this way and discover this 30 something’s guide to all things laser vs chemical peels…
