Four epic smoothie toppings
It’s no secret that when you’re total healthnuts like us, you have a crazily close relationship with your morning smoothie. On the go, in a bowl, go go green or berry blast – pre and post work out nourishment never tasted so good. What’s not to love when you can have dessert, a meal or a…
Standing is the new sitting
It’s no secret we’re big believers in keeping active (every day, every where) even when it comes to sitting at our desks day-to-day. A little while ago, the standing desk movement became fashionable across offices everywhere; and sitting became ‘so 10 years ago’ due to it’s harmful effects that has dominated our modern lives (much like smoking…

Do you ever feel as though you want a health overhaul? Need to clear your skin? Feel blah? Low on energy? Focusing on your liver could be just what you need! And with the busiest part of the year ahead of us (parties, drinking and way too much pudding) there’s a few things that may be able to…

Why everyone needs YOU time
I consider myself a very busy person, but wholeheartedly admit I need to rein it in sometimes. Between working full time, commuting most weeknights, cooking, cleaning, pinning researching, exercising and spending my weekends travelling an hour away to see my loved ones, I’m hardly ever home. I don’t live in routine. I live a life of daily…
Epic Choc Peanut Butter Cups
Mention the word peanut butter in this office and you’re bound to start a frenzy. Add chocolate and raspberry chia jam into the mix? We’re all over it like honey on a hot biscuit. We were beside ourselves when we met Anett Velsberg, food photographer and chef from Estonia, and even more so when she shared her…
Why everyone can benefit from probiotics
Can you believe it’s mid November already? Yep, it’s only a hop, skip and a jump until Santa slims down our chimney. But for many, the celebrations of the silly season have well and truly started.

Help, do I buy fresh or frozen?
It’s a huge debate among the health industry right now: do I buy fresh or do I buy frozen? Which is better for me? Will I be judged in the office kitchen for buying a frozen meal for my on-the-go schedule? Or even, will I be judged and labelled a ‘health freak’ for growing my own…
How to eat healthy on a budget
Many people ask me what the perfect diet is. If I could live on organic cold pressed juice, wild salmon and superfood snacks every day, you can bet your cacao chocolate covered goji berries I would. But that’s not my reality – nor is it achievable for many of us. Living is expensive. Life happens. Bills need to…
