Did you know what we put on our skin, we absorb?

Our skin is our largest organ — so why would we put anything on it that isn’t clean, natural and good for our health?

That’s one of the many reasons I’m loving this Beauty Balm. I finally got to meet lovely Kerry, the founder of in person at the networking event after previously connecting on Zoom, and it made me love the brand even more.

I am all about supporting local businesses that truly care about what goes into their products.

Clean skincare matters, and this beauty balm is such a gorgeous example of why. Treat your skin like it deserves — with ingredients you can feel good about absorbing.

Did you know gut health is one of the most powerful ways to improve your overall well-being?

Your gut does far more than digest food — it impacts your energy, immunity, mood, skin, weight and even how well you handle stress. When it’s out of balance, your whole body feels it.

Supporting your gut can lead to better digestion, clearer skin, improved mood, weight loss and more consistent energy throughout the day. It’s amazing what can change when your gut is happy.

And honestly, my Thermomix has been a game changer in helping us eat better and support a happier gut. From fresh whole-food meals to quick nutrient-dense recipes, it makes healthy eating so much easier. And chopping veg has never been easier. It only took 3 seconds to chop my veg😆

If you would like to learn simple, effective ways to support your gut health, I can share a link to a webinar happening tonight at 7pm.

Just let me know and I’ll send it over!

Exciting New Study: Creatine for Brain Health in Peri- and Menopausal Women

Creatine is best known for boosting athletic performance, but this latest study explored its cognitive benefits in women. While research is still limited, here’s what they found:

✅ Faster reaction times – a cognitive boost
✅ Higher frontal-lobe brain creatine – better brain energy support
✅ Improved lipid profile – supports heart and metabolic health
✅ Trend toward fewer mood swings – very common during peri-menopause
✅ Well tolerated – no serious side effects reported

Creatine is found in animal-based foods like meat and fish. While our bodies produce some creatine naturally, it’s often not enough for optimal health, so supplementation or dietary sources like meat or fish can help.

Yes, it’s a small study with early findings, but it’s exciting to see more research focusing on women’s brain and metabolic health!

Personally, I have been taking creatine for a few months and can honestly say the benefits are noticeable. It’s also one of the most researched and safest supplements out there.

Half term vibes are in full swing over here 😅 The kids are off, work still needs to be done, and honestly… something had to give — and it’s been social media this week!

Running a business while keeping up with mum life is no small thing. My clients still need looking after, the snacks are endless, and the juggle is very real. I’ve also been solo parenting for two days, but somehow still managed to squeeze in 3 gym sessions (with the kids in tow, of course 💪😂).

But you know what? You can’t get this time back. So we are making memories — even if it means emails get answered a little slower and posts have to wait.

Tomorrow we are off to Manchester and we are so excited to see everyone!

How are all the other self-employed parents managing this week? Are you powering through or pressing pause for some family time?

The clocks changed today, but my body woke up early at 5:50am and ready to go. So I listened and went out for an early walk *in my pjs and coat on😅, and it felt amazing.

My first sunrise on the beach since we moved here… soft light, quiet waves, and that fresh morning air reminding me how healing simple moments can be.

No screens. No rush. No coffee needed (I had one later) — just daylight, deep breaths and gratitude. These little choices are the real “health hacks.” There is no magic pill to stay disease-free — it’s the daily rhythm that matters: good nutrition, sleep, stress management, movement, targeted supplementation, and connection with our community and nature.

Tiny shifts. Big change. And it all starts with how you greet the morning.

Have a beautiful Sunday everyone😊

Quick, Delicious, Gut-Loving: Pudla!

This savoury chickpea (gram flour) pancake is my go-to for a fast, nourishing lunch that keeps my gut happy and energy steady.

Why It is Great for Your Gut:

·        Prebiotic fibre feeds healthy gut bacteria

·        Plant-based protein for lasting energy

·        Naturally gluten-free and easy to digest

·        Anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric & cumin support gut lining health

Quick Recipe:

·        Mix 200g chickpea flour + 250ml water + ½ tsp turmeric + 1 tsp cumin + 1 tsp salt + grated veggies (optional)

·        Let rest 30 mins

·        Pan-fry in a little coconut or olive oil for 2–3 mins each side

·        Serve with your favourite filling (I had it instead of bread!)

Why Chickpea Flour Beats Wheat for Gut Health:

1.     Higher fibre content = feeds beneficial gut bacteria

2.     Lower glycemic index = steadier blood sugar

3.     Gluten-free = suitable alternative for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease

4.     Lower in calories than refined wheat

5.     More protein = supports muscles & overall health

6.     Richer in vitamins, minerals, and fibre, but fewer carbs

Did my gut test this morning – finally!

Despite being terrified of needles, I managed it… though it did take me a solid 15 minutes to work up the courage to prick my finger. Such a wuss 😂 But hey, I got there in the end!

Feeling more tired, bloated or anxious lately? It could be your gut talking.

Hormonal shifts during perimenopause don’t just affect mood and energy — they also impact your gut microbiome, immune response and intestinal barrier.

As oestrogen levels decline, microbial diversity decreases and gut permeability increases — leading to inflammation, digestive issues and mood changes.

Your estrobolome — the community of gut bacteria involved in oestrogen metabolism — plays a key role here. When there is dysbiosis (an imbalance in gut bacteria), hormonal symptoms can feel even worse.

Supporting your gut means supporting your hormones.

Our gut is our hidden superpower 💥

❤️ Eostrogen & Testosterone: Impacts cycles, mood & libido

Signs your gut may need support:

Why My Thermomix Is Worth Every Penny

Yes, it’s an investment — but honestly, it’s one that keeps paying me back every single day. The amount of time it saves (and the quality of food we get as a result) is incredible.

This morning before 8:15am — while getting the kids ready for school — I managed to make protein waffles for breakfast, apple muffins for the lunch boxes, and curried beef (which was meant for dinner but I couldn’t resist having some for breakfast 😄).

All done, cooked, and ready for the day before most people have even had their first coffee! ☕

Freshly cooked, real food… every day. No takeout, no stress, and way less time in the kitchen than you’d think.

And it doesn’t stop there — this afternoon I’m planning to whip up burgers, soup, and some spiced red cabbage once the kids are home.

Honestly, the Thermomix has become my secret weapon for keeping our meals healthy, varied, and homemade — without spending hours cooking.

If you have ever thought about getting one, or you are curious about how you can get a discount or even earn it for free, I’d love to show you how! I offer 1:1 cooking demos (f2f or zoom) where I walk you through how it works and what it can do — no pressure, just good food and fun.

If you are already a Thermomix owner, hit me with your favourite recipe — I love trying new ones!

Did you know muscle is our Longevity Organ 💪 (Especially in Perimenopause!)

If you are in your 40s or 50s and noticing changes in energy, metabolism, or mood—listen up. Muscle isn't just for looks. It’s a vital organ of longevity, and here’s why every woman should prioritise strength training:

🔥 Muscle burns fat even at rest – more lean muscle = a faster metabolism. Yes, even while we sleep!

🦴 Stronger bones – crucial as estrogen drops and bone density declines during perimenopause.

⚖️ Balances blood sugar – reduces risk of insulin resistance and supports hormonal health.

🧠 Boosts mood & brain function – strength training is linked to better mental clarity and reduced anxiety.

💤 Improves sleep – quality workouts lead to deeper, more restorative sleep.

💪 Supports aging – resistance training is one of the most powerful tools we have to slow down physical aging.

🔥 Reduces belly fat – especially the stubborn kind that creeps in during hormonal shifts.

👑 Increases confidence & resilience – feeling physically strong builds mental and emotional strength
It’s not about getting bulky. It’s about getting STRONG, energised, and empowered through every stage of life.

Ladies, your muscle is your metabolic engine, hormone ally and anti-aging secret weapon.
Start building it—and protect your future.

I managed 40kg power clean yesterday , great coaching by Josh! Yay!💪💪💪
