September slow your own – autumn clean

Hi all and Happy September! I can't believe how much more autumnal it suddenly feels. Not gonna lie, I kinda like it! So a new month means a new Slow Your Own trial (can I get a hell yeah?!) and this month I'm changing up the seasons and doing an "autumn clean". We've been in...

Plastic fantastic (or not) – how to help

Last time I talked about how plastics are causing a problem, and it was all a bit doom and gloom. So for any of you who are thinking "this is awful, what can I do to help?!" then I wanted to provide some solutions. Take your own coffee cup and water bottle. These are some...

Slow your own – get your zzzzs week 4

So there are still a few days left of August, but I'm going to make this the last of my Get Your Zzzzs summaries. Mostly because I feel like I'm becoming a broken record. This has just been such a game changer! For something that is actually a pretty simple change - and something I...

Slow your own – get your zzzzs week 3

My realisation over the last 3 weeks:: you just can't beat a good night's sleep. Last week I was talking about how my sleep was so much better and how much more energised and just generally able to cope with life I was feeling. When you're having sleep difficulties, I really don't think you realise...

Slow you own – get your zzzzs week 1

Hi guys! This week I started my second slow your own trial of getting some zzzzzs. And boy was it needed. I don't think I realised how much I needed it until, on the first day of the trial, I got a twitchy eyelid. You know the really annoying thing where your eyelid is dancing...

Brain ready to explode

Have you ever been in one of those stages of your life where you seem to be hitting on hidden knowledge around every corner you take? This past year has been one of those stages for me. And I hope it continues. Where normally I get frustrated at the amount of time we all spend...

August slow your own – get the zzzzzs

HOW IS IT AUGUST ALREADY?! Could time please just slow. down. On the plus side it means its time for a new slow your own trial! Can I get a woop woop?! So last month I did a trial around screen free eating. It meant getting up a bit earlier, and along with some sleepless...
