“Banana-Cake Batter” In-A-Jar Dessert

I don’t always use the phrase “BOMB DIGGITY”, but when I do it’s because of taste sensations like this super-easy dessert “parfait”.

It’s Not All Doom and Gloom

If you’re listening to health-conscious thought-leaders and paying attention to the media sources daring to inform us of  inconvenient truths, then chances are you’re at least vaguely aware that we are living in a pretty toxic world.

A Day On My Plate

I’ve always preferred outdoor sports; jogging, walking, hiking, swimming and team sports, such as netball and tennis.

Sneaky Work-outs

Two and a bit years ago I wrote this post about bringing the motivation and fun back to exercise. This was when I first started blogging and I sure could rave on (to the point where just reading the damn post was a work-out for the optic nerves!!!).

These days, where possible, I’m trying to cut my posts down so you can just read them – get the gist, implement what you want, and get on with your day.
