I know what you’re thinking….Sarah you’ve just been telling us how much you love the gym and you’ve gone and cancelled your membership? Why!? Well, I’ve decided to swap gyms so I’ve ended my membership at Anytime Fitness Dunedin Central in order to change to Moana Pool Gym. I’ve done this for a number of reasons…. First…
Sometimes I find myself getting a bit of back pain, especially in my lower back and my neck and shoulders. It’s no surprise really, when you see how much time I spend on the computer every day. While I try to retain correct posture, it’s really really hard to sit correctly and the body tends to just…
Before I started going to the gym, I didn’t really own any activewear. When I was mucking around the house, I’d just usually wear a pair of PJ pants or jeans, and if I went for a walk I’d wear my one pair of leggings that I owned. When I started working out, I wanted to look…
So it’s been about two and a half months since I joined the gym, and I’ve been trying to go 4-5 times a week at the moment, and I’ve actually managed this most weeks! I’ve really surprised myself with how dedicated I’ve become to going, and how much fun I’m actually having as I am definitely not a…
I’ve never been much of a breakfast person. I don’t really enjoy eating cereals and toast on a regular basis, and while I do love a cooked breakfast, that’s more of a weekend thing. For years I’d miss breakfast completely, and as a result I’d just end up eating filler foods like muesli bars or muffins mid-morning…
I’m on a serious candle craze at the moment and I think it must have something to do with the fact that it’s getting darker faster at night and it’s also getting much colder. There’s something nice and cozy about lighting a candle, putting on the heater, and snuggling up with a good book. It’s so relaxing…
For the past six months I’ve been making my own natural hand soap. Ever since I realised what was in the store brought soaps I was using, I’ve been giving them a wide berth. Natural hand soap isn’t something that is easily available with only a very few brands selling them. Those that are available are often…
When I wrote my first couple of fitness blog posts, I wasn’t really planning to make them a regular thing however they’ve been so well received by you all (in fact, they’re some of my most popular posts!), so I’ve decided to keep this series going. I’m by no means good at the gym, I’m a total…
I pride myself on having a clean and organised home, but something we can often forget about is the scent in the home. Home scents instantly set the mood and the tone right from when you walk through the door, and I think it’s such an important first impression. When it comes to finding scents for my…
It’s now been three weeks since I joined the gym and in that time I’ve been really good and have pretty much stuck with my 3 times a week thing. The first week and a half I really had no idea what I was doing, so I stuck to cardio and some dumbbells. I’ve discovered that I…
