Buyagift spa treat in the hottub with prosecco

Buyagift for great Christmas 2018 gift experiences: Imagine receiving a surprise gift that you ‘live’.   It’s so much better to have an experience rather than more ‘stuff’ you probably don’t want and have to pack away to store!  With the festive season approaching fast, I was lucky enough to be offered the chance to […]

The 5-2 Diet – a Lifestyle Choice? When Michael Mosley’s Horizon TV programme about the 5-2 Diet first aired, some months ago now I watched, fascinated.  Many of the diet and nutrition ideas I’d grown up with, like eating three balanced meals a day and never eating less than 1000 calories a day, seemed to […]
