Nutrition & Hydration Week! There are several things we could have talked about today, but when I discovered that the coming week (11th March to 17th March 2024) is dedicated to nutrition and hydration, I realised this was a great opportunity to join in.

Looking back over the last 12 months! As we near the end of the year 2023, it is a great time to look back and see everything you have achieved. I am sure many of you will think of all the things you wish you had done, looking at your bucket list and rewriting it for next year! However, let’s…

Maybe you are all about you and have already had your ‘me’ time. Perhaps you are so busy at work, or looking after others, that…
A contradiction? Today, I am leaving this open for discussion! Positivity Are you a positive person or a negative person? Have you ever thought about it? How would your friends and family describe you? Do you see the good in everything? Do you always notice the bad things? Are you great at seeing both sides of the story? Language Your…
