To all my curly girls, here’s 5 tips which have helped me throughout my curly hair struggles! 1. Deep conditioning – this is such an important step to achieving healthy, strong hair. I like to deep condition my hair once a week with coconut oil. I apply coconut oil all over my hair and tie it in a bun overnight. This allows my hair to really lock in the moisture and promotes growth. 2. DITCH THE…

When trying to reach a specific goal which involves having a ‘clean diet’ or healthy lifestyle, it’s easy to slip into the mindset of feeling guilty after eating a pizza or the odd chocolate – Am I right? I completely get this, BUT it’s so important that you remain in control. When referring to the term healthy I believe our mindset is the most important aspect in achieving a healthy lifestyle.…

Mexico – Isla Holbox

Isla Holbox – what a place! I really can’t begin to explain to you guys how beautiful and unique this island was. My pictures don’t even do it justice but I hope I can give you an understanding and incentive to visit. We travelled to the island by coach and ferry from Cancún. From Downtown Cancún we caught a bus from the main coach station to a place called ‘Chiquilá. The journey itself takes…

Mexico – Cancún

I’m back with a travel blog, finallyyyy!! This was a long awaited trip that I am so sad is over. I honestly can say this is one of the most amazing places I have visited and I had an incredible time with my love! Cancún is such a beautiful place. When we first stepped off the plane I couldn’t believe the weather, for late October it was gorgeous!! It was around 28-30 degrees every day and no…

The past five weeks have been interesting. Back in June I put it on myself that I was going to try ‘veganism’ for a week and see how long it would last. Initially I was setting out to treat it as a lifestyle, after doing some research and watching a few YouTube videos, I was pretty convinced this was what I wanted to do. This was before realising I had not done my research and was on the verge of…

I have to admit the best thing I ever did was start running again. Don’t get me wrong, I love the gym and I definitely feel the benefits from weight training, but already after a couple of months of dedicated running I’m seeing changes in my fitness and overall health. Although it isn’t for everyone I feel like I’m in such a good place right now, and I genuinely believe running has played a huge…

Okay, so we all know how easy it is too put off that bit of work that needs finishing, or ignore that deadline which is only around the corner but why? Why do we constantly make excuses? I know the feeling of not wanting to go to the gym or go on that run because, well… I can't be bothered. It's so easy to say "I'll do it tomorrow" but tomorrow rarely comes and we end up pushing it off to the…

While I've recently been slacking in the gym I'm trying to incorporate a lot more running into my fitness regime. I know a lot of people find it difficult to find an exercise they enjoy or something they can stick too – don't get me wrong I'm the same but I have a strange love/hate relationship with running. I used to run all the time, almost every day to be exact. Unfortunately due to…
