I recently turned 37 and it’s always nice to take stock of a few lessons life has taught me over the years.

Before writing this, I talked with a friend about how naively we thought things would return to normal within a fortnight after the first lockdown. Now, several weeks later, this new "normal" feels very different. I reflect on those early days of wearing leggings and hoodies and finding a sort of novelty in the pause from reality.

The lymphatic system is essential for draining fluids, detoxifying the body, regenerating tissues, filtering out toxins, and maintaining a healthy immune system; any dysfunction can impact overall health.

As we enter another month of quarantine, staying home, canceling travel, and simplifying our social circles, I’ve had a chance to reflect on many aspects of my life.

We're currently in an unprecedented and challenging time that is both physically and emotionally taxing. With so much beyond our control, I've struggled with the need to let go, and it's uncertain how long this situation will last or what the future holds.

One of the perks of being self-employed is that as long as I have internet I can take my work with me wherever I go, so if an opportunity presents itself to travel I try to take it. However I’ve a sensitive digestion and too much change, flights and different foods can leave me feeling exhausted. Years ago I would finish a trip craving a return to my routine but now I’ve tweaked things and am able to enjoy being away so much more.

If someone suggests playing a team sport, I'm not interested. I've never enjoyed them and only participated in school activities when necessary. Sports like hockey, netball, and rounders filled me with dread, so I often avoided them and sought refuge in the library instead!

Apple Cider Vinegar is a pantry essential due to its versatility—perfect for baking, cleaning, salad dressings, and even drinking in water.

Adopting a vegan lifestyle five years ago was one of my best decisions. Though the start was confusing, I gradually adapted, learning through vegan cooking classes and earning certifications in Plant-Based Nutrition and general nutrition to maintain my health and energy.

Since the average person sleeps for about 8 hours a day, they will spend approximately 229,961 hours sleeping over their lifetime, which is about one-third of their life. Therefore, investing time and resources to make your bedroom as comfortable as possible is a worthwhile decision.

One thing is certain: we will all encounter challenging times. Our hopes and dreams may not always come true, people will disappoint us, and random, painful events can occur for no reason. While we can't avoid certain circumstances, I've embraced my own challenges and learned valuable lessons that I'd like to share.

When it comes to beauty, I believe in prioritising the fundamentals, with dental care being a key element. There are countless quotes stating that your smile is your best accessory, and that’s true—as long as you’re happy with your smile.

A few months ago, I attended a meditation morning and realised I needed to address my sleep issues. After sharing this on Instagram, I received numerous helpful tips.

I'm writing this nearly a week on from when Vegan-ish first launched and it's quite surreal as so much has happened! 

As many of you know, I’ve been vegan for almost four years now. My decision was driven by environmental and animal welfare concerns.

These past few years have been incredible as I’ve navigated the journey, constantly learning and educating myself. So far, I’ve completed...

LA is a city I love, though I understand it's not for everyone. Jack Kerouac once called it the "loneliest and most brutal of American cities." While it's a place of dreams, it's also one of disappointments.

I'm familiar with detoxing, having attended several retreats both locally and abroad, and I find it benefits me throughout the year. This year, I wanted a retreat in a warm location without traveling too far. Moinhos Velhos kept appearing in my searches, and many aspects of it caught my attention.

After being vegan for almost four years, I've completely removed animal products from my diet. While many people understand avoiding meat, they often find the idea of cutting out dairy more confusing.

I had a terrible experience at a salon (which I won’t name) where they roughly removed a two-week-old polish, leaving my nails sore and marked with white spots.
