Have you ever felt, that losing weight seems like an uphill battle? This is totally accurate, because it is. The body is in fact programmed to slow down it’s metabolism if it thinks the body is going into starvation (scarcity of food). So as an obese person starts to cut calories (on purpose in its […]
Away in Mauritius for 3 weeks eating with the locals and traveling with the locals. Also our baby was running on less sleep than she’s used to, and eating a different diet and exposed to all the elements. Happy to report that we and our 1 year old Luca, are healthy and didn’t fall ill […]
People think that when you say CORE, you mean the abs. But really, it’s not just the abs, that make up the core. The core makes up nearly half the body and includes all muscles that attach to the pelvis and spine. Run, jump, twist, bend, or brace, and those muscles must fire in concert. […]
So, the most important thing for parents to realise is that as with everything else, picky eating is just a passing phase. Some phases go on for longer than other, so to that I say, stay cool – stay relaxed.. and find that happy place. It takes a lot of self-control to not smack the […]
After giving birth one of the things that headed south, was my butt! So, in order to give my husband something nice to look at, I decided to take matters into my own hands and do these exercises every single day, twice a day, till I got back my round butt. It worked! Here they […]

This month has been hectic with travels, and next month will be no different! We have Mauritius on the cards and possibly Reunion Island as well. Work (i.e. travel blogging) is just not slowing time anytime soon. Good and Bad. Good because it’s always fun to travel and get paid for it. Bad because, our […]
So the life of a travel blogger, a fitness nutritionist and a mom, is no easy task. And definitely not as semi-charmed as some might believe. It’s great that I get to live the life I love, yes. But it also means extra hard work trying to keep my shit together my family’s health, daily […]
I’ve never been a huge fan of running gels. Some give me the runs (not make me run better LOL) and some are just too sweet leaving me feeling wired and yet tired all at the same time. Now I’ve found a new running buddy. Ningxia Nitro from Young Living. It is a quick pick-me-up […]
11 months postpartum and the Abs situation is a far cry from 5 months ago. Slowly but surely, things are falling back in place. This wasn’t the case, after I gave birth to Luca. The first sign of complete lack of core strength comes when your back starts to ache even after carrying your 7KG […]
