Being more active and healthier is one of my goals and New Year's resolutions for 2017, so when the lovely people from Curry's & PC World got in touch to ask if I was interested in checking out the Fitbit Charge 2, I was all game. I received my parcel just before Christmas and hid it - Christmas is for indulgence and lazing around under the Christmas tree, after all. In the New Year, however, ...

Getting kids active helps create healthy habits
Getting kids active is something really close to my heart. Not only for selfish reasons, they fall asleep so much quicker when you let them run off their energy, but also because it's so beneficial for your kids' development and health.

Before we dive in, I'd like to point out that I'm definitely no fitness expert or personal trainer and that I am yet to to lose my baby weight (yes, almost 5 years later!), but hey, in theory we all ...
My medical negligence story
I sat together with some of my friends the other week and we were discussing some crazy tenancy law question. I know, terribly grown-up, but what was even more grown-up was my friend Emma, who casually said "Oh I'll ask my lawyer about that next time I see her."
