Before all this *indicates the current pandemic mess* we’d both committed to trying to reduce our environmental impact. Admittedly, the current situation has made it harder. We recycle, but now along with everyone else, we’re aware of how much cardboard we’re using (and the number of times I’ve watched those collecting just chuck it in…

Product Review: Inspired Life CBD
If you’re thinking of trying, or even dipping your toes in the world of CBD it can be pretty daunting. What do you try? How much? What strength? Will it work for me? For the most part, it’s a bit of trial and error. I’ve written before about using the products from Green Stem – and…
That Time of Life
It has many different names doesn’t it, the change, the menopause. I started feeling… Not myself about four years ago. I get I’m hyperaware of my body, and not everyone is, so maybe I detected changes earlier than others will. It began with tiredness. For no reason at all, I was tired. All the damn…
Product Review: Face Masks from Treat Republic
I’m starting to gather a collection of face masks. Sure, we know they’re not true PPE. But they are reassuring in a supermarket where the bloke near the tins of tomatoes really doesn’t have any idea of what 6 feet looks like. Or where the kiddie with her parents still runs off to look at…
Life, Lately: 13 March 2020
And now for something a little different. This post takes it’s inspiration from Lisa Valentine. She’s brought back her Life Update posts, a round up of the day to day stuff that’s happened over the last few weeks, or months. It was something that was quite popular in the early days of blogging, and even…

The M Word
Over the last few years, things have changed. Mentally, physically. Whilst I’ve not hit the menopause yet, I’m becoming more and more aware that it’s around the corner. I mean, we expect it don’t we? Lines, grey hairs, your period stops and then you get the hot flushes and stuff, right? Wrong. So wrong. It’s…
Product Review: Green Stem CBD
Mention CBD, and there are still raised eyebrows. Even though it’s in health shops, chemists, on the high street. I know a number of lifters who use CBD in some form for recovery. I know some people who use it for sleep. I know some who use it for chronic pain. I know some who…
Christmas Push Pull Extravaganza
Before I continue, this is a lifting related blog post. Not a big fancy Christmas thing I’m doing. Sorry. But while I’m on the subject of Christmas, I have been giving away treats on Instagram, so that might pique your interest? Just saying. Back to lifting, for those of you still here. This weekend was…
