So I got into work around 8.50am and I’m eating my hazelnut & almond clusters (with unsweetened almond milk, can’t forget that ;)) as I would do every morning. As I’m doing my leisurely pursuit of the internet, I come across this video on the Guardian website entitled ‘How to run 100m like an Olympian’. Now as […]
Lover boy Lover boy: Hellooo missy, how are you today? Girl: (giggles and bats eye lids in embarrassment) I’m fine thank you Lover boy: wow you look amazing, where are you off to? In fact scratch that, where are you from? Cause there is no way someone as beautiful as you can be from around […]
Tough Mudder is a 10-12 mile mud and obstacle course designed to drag you out of your comfort zone by testing your physical strength, stamina, and mental grit.

Before going into that big meeting, before taking an important test, before speaking to that beautiful girl or boy you’ve had a crush on for ages. It’s a part of human nature, the beautiful thing about it is, when harnessed correctly, anxiety […]
You were born to win. So I started off the talk by asking a room full of 5 – 11 year olds the following question, if I squeeze this orange, what do I get? And quite rightly so, there response was to scream; ‘ORANGE JUICE’! And they are right, if you squeeze an orange, you […]
