FITNESS: Getting Motivated to (Re)Start the Gym

Around January last year, I decided to start my fitness journey – if you can call it that. Basically, I decided to join the gym after a few months (if not years) of wanting to do so. A year and so after, I can admit that I haven’t been as consistent as I would wish but I have been sticking with it, not giving up and I can say that I do enjoy going and always try to find motivation to go. The thing is, for the past six months I have been on and off with colds and flu…

Things I Wish I Could Tell My Younger Self

I haven’t had the best experiences as a kid. Don’t get me wrong – I was a happy little girl/teenager but it wasn’t all flowers and butterflies. My younger self had quite a bit to go through and I guess that I probably overcame a few things so easily thanks to my beautiful and supportive family. Even though most of the times they had no idea of what was going on at school, they always had a good, positive thought to share with me everyday. I was made fun of since primary school. I guess you can call it bullying. First,…

Thoughts About Friendship

I am currently reading “The F Word” by Lily Pebbles. This is a book about female friendships and quite personal as Lily shares many of her own stories, friendship heartbreaks, fallouts and many other bad and good experiences that made her grow as a person and find what kind of friend she was or wanted to become. It is a very chilled read, very laid back and helps me disconnect from all the daily stresses of my job but it also makes me think, a lot. And during those days where my mood isn’t so great, this book can also…

My Favourite Joe Wicks Lean in 15 Recipes

Diets were never my forte. I love food – tasty food and that, sometimes, means very unhealthy food. I always ask myself why does fast food taste so nice. So to find recipe books that meet my expectations is pretty hard and at some point I thought it would be impossible. Then, I found Joe Wicks on YouTube as well as his books and I purchased the three of them. These books are different than any other fitness-healthy-dieting books you might find. Joe Wicks has built these books in a very wise and helpful way. He believes that a balanced diet…

Books I Read in 2017 & Recommend

2017 was the year I challenged myself to read 12 books – I managed to read 10. Not a bad achievement I don’t think. Specially when before I used to read just one a year. I have always loved reading but I never found the right book genre that would increase this passion but then I read a thriller, and another and one more and it all changed. I love thrillers, love the excitement and all the twists that can happen making you second guess everything that is happening. And the best is being surprised by a great finale. 2017…
