10 things I learned at IAB UK's Social Shake Up! at Social Media Week London

A couple of weeks ago, I was at Social Media Week London and one of the most exciting events that I popped along to was the Internet Advertising Bureau UK’s Social Shake Up!, showcasing some of the best social media campaigns this year from the managers behind them. Up first was Martina Mattioni of TMWtalking about their Vanish Gold Oxi Action Influencer Challenge, followed by Nissan Pulsar,…

How to Train for a Half Marathon

How to Train for a Half Marathon #running

I completed my first half marathon last week. Just being able to type that feels like a huge accomplishment. When I first signed up, I did exactly what you have probably just done to find this page; I googled ‘how to train for a half marathon’. Now I’m sure that you will find a whole host of training plans written by people a helluva lotmore qualified than I am, which is why I am not about to…

Brunch at One Sixty, West Hampstead

Brunch at One Sixty, West Hampstead #brunch #review #london

A couple of weeks ago, the boyfriend and I decided to head down to West Hampstead’s latest foodie hotspot, One Sixty. It has been a welcome addition to West End Lane and a great place for an after-work drink with some pretty awesome ribs and mac and cheese. However, I had heard rumours that the brunch menu was something not to miss, so one Sunday morning, we headed over to check it out. And it…

Setting health and fitness goals

I was recently invited by Legacy Sportswear to set myself 4 health and fitness-related goals for a monthas part of their ‘Leave Your Legacy’ challenge. Health and fitness is obviously something very important to me, so it really was a great excuse to set some simple concrete goals for October. I ran my half marathon at the end of September so I was looking for something else to keep me…

Mexican Cooking Class with Old El Paso

I love a good cooking class, especially with a group of bloggers all on the same page (“Wait! Has everyone got a picture of that before we stick a fork in?!”) and level (“err… what are we doing?!”).

A couple of weeks ago it was Mexican Independence Day and Old El Paso invited a group of us over to do a little cooking with their new Stand and Stuff Soft Taco range, that I wrote about recentlyand…

Get the Glow: HIIT world record attempt

NEW BLOG POST: Get the Glow: HIIT world record attempt (PS it's #nationalfitnessday!)

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to go along to a World Record attempt for the largest HIIT workout hosted by Glow. I was intrigued, so headed down to Dulwich, where I was met by Jenny Ingleton, a well-known fitness instructor in South East London. The idea was that in order to launch Glow, a new nationwide fitness concept, every instructor would hold a short HIIT workout simultaneously across…

Ilumi review

I am not a fan of processed or packaged meals, I’ll be honest. But when I was offered the chance to review ilumi, a new gluten, nut and dairy free brand, I figured it was worth a try. Plus, this video below changed my mind – there are no unnatural ingredients in ilumi, so you can rest assured that this isn’t your average ‘ready meal’. They aren’t recreating meals with gluten and dairy…

A Long Weekend in Zurich, Switzerland

I’ve been to a lot of European countries, but somehow I had never made it to Switzerland. In August, I changed that as my mum’s best friend from school (who she hadn’t seen for about 20 years!) invited us out for a couple of days over Bank Holiday weekend to catch up and explore the area around Lake Zurich a little bit.

We flew from Heathrow to Zurich on Swiss Air, arriving mid-afternoon on the…

How many crunches can you do in a minute?! #1percentmore

How many crunches can you do in a minute?

I am proud to announce that I am hosting Spogo’s #1PercentMore Challenge this week. Spogo.co.uk are encouraging people to get up and do just 1% more activity each day (That’s just 15mins!).

Why? Because as a nation we have stopped moving:

Menton, France: A haven on the French Riviera

Menton, France: A haven on the French Riviera #travel

There’s something about Menton. From the moment we drove in, via Monaco and Monte Carlo, I knew I was going to love it. Still considered to be one of the best kept secrets on the French Riviera, Menton is the last stop on the French coast before Italy and as a result is a beautiful mix of the two cultures. The old town, with its winding streets and impressive Basilica is filled with pasta and…

Little Italy: Menton, France

Sometimes you just see a place and think it would be the perfect place to spend a little time. That’s how I felt about Little Italy in Menton. We walked past this charming little place the day before just as it was closing for lunch and made a mental note to come back. And we were so glad we did.

We ordered the house pizza ‘Little Italy‘ upon the recommendation of the waiter plus a salade…

A boat on Lake Malawi

On the last day of a recent work trip with Walkabout Foundation to Malawi, we decided to wake up super early and catch the break of dawn with a little boat ride on Lake Malawi to check out the scenery in the little time we had in our stopover at Njaya Lodge.

We were talked into the trip by Dixon, a lively character who has worked at the lodge for more than 20 years and somewhere along the way…

Bootcamp on the Heath with Spogo and BMF

Bootcamp on the Heath with @SpogoUK and @BritMilFit

When invited to try out a fitness class, I usually say yes. When you tell me it’s practically on my doorstep, I’ll definitely say yes. Which means that when you tell me I’ll be jogging alongside an Olympic athlete, I’ll probably already be there waiting for you.

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a British Military Fitness bootcamp on Hampstead Heath in association with Spogo. Spogo is a new…

Such a fun weekend!

I had such a fun weekend last weekend! Friday night, I had drinks and chats with a colleague before rushing home to find my friends at mine for a catch up!

Saturday was a chilled day. I went for a jog on Hampstead Heath and then I met my boyfriend and his sister at the farmers market. He had just got back from a week away with work and she was staying with us for the weekend. We bought some…

Whatever's Comfortable with Southern Comfort

Whatever’s Comfortable with Southern Comfort

When invited on a nice sunny day to enjoy some refreshing cocktails after work on day, it’s pretty hard to say no. When that day is a Monday following an illness over the weekend and with a heavy work week looming, you probably should say no. I did not say no.

Southern Comfort have just relaunched southerncomfort.comwith a brand new online cocktail recipe designer where you can essentially ‘win…
