Never again... by admin
You know those old friends in your life that are good only in very small doses? Well my advice is to keep that in mind when meeting up with them - small doses!
I met up with an old friend this week and it was a bit of a disaster. I'd bumped into him on a night out last week and he seemed great, and insisted we meet for a coffee and a catch up this week, and while it started well, he bored the absolute living daylights out of me.

I Heart My Bike... by admin
I love cycling. I never thought I'd love cycling in the city, but since I got my bike last year I've used it almost every single day.
It has raised my fitness levels so much. I now have way more stamina and my legs got really toned really quickly, riding up hills is a breeze for me now!
You have so much freedom on a bike, you can go anywhere without having to worry about tube strikes, buses full of people with questionable hygiene, and soaring transport prices. You just have to worry about keeping your bike in tip top condition
But you have to be careful and make sure you don't get caught out. I had to get a quick Wonga.com loan last week when my crank set needed replacing days before pay day, if I'd have taken better care of it and kept a close eye I wouldn't have gotten caught out in the middle of an eight mile cycle!

Grown Your Own Facial by admin
Now I love to use organic and natural beauty products. I think they improve your skin and I don’t like smearing toxins all over my body.
So when I recently discovered a recipe for a grow your own facial on handbag.com, I had to try it!
It involved 3 strawberries, 1 cup of mashed papaya, 1 tsp honey and 2 slices of cucumber – which is great as I grow my own strawberries and cucumber.
It was so simple to make, all you do is pop all the ingredients (a part from the cucumber) into a blender and mix! Then cover your face in it and put two slices of cucumber over your eyes.
This mixture is ideal for oily skin, which I have, but there are other options for dry and combination skin. Afterwards it made my skin feel great and it is so much cheaper than buying a facial mixture from a cosmetic brand, which is full of toxins and artificial ingredients!
I highly recommend making it, although don’t sit in the garden with it on – your may attract unwanted attention from wasps!

Get Fit by admin
Wanting to get fit but you don’t know how to go about it? Or lack the motivation? Or worse you are motivated and you are already doing it but for some reason it just doesn’t seem to be working.....maybe you need Adidas miCoach.
This app available for both the blackberry and the iphone is one my best investments in recent months. I had been wanting to get fit for a while but it just never seemed to work and my motivation levels just kept going up and down.
With miCoach, it makes it easy for you. The app will design your work out based on your current levels of fitness and allow you to track your own progress it will also motivate you with it’s own virtual trainer – you can choose a man or a woman!- and it will email you and message you when you are being lazy and not exercising to give you a cyber guilt trip.
It’s like having your own personal trainer in your pocket.
I have only been using this for a few months and have already started to notice the difference, I have even got what you might call the fitness bug!
