Keeping up my healthy habits in the New Year

Cathy — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 15:55:07 +0000

To be fair, I’m a reasonably fit and active person all year round, but I do love the clean, fresh slate of a new year to give me that extra nudge to keep those healthy habits going and to start new ones. And if that clean, fresh slate of a

Overnight Oats: The Breakfast That Saved My Mornings

Cathy — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 15:27:38 +0000

Right. Let’s talk about overnight oats, because they’ve genuinely changed my life, and I’m not even being dramatic. I am absolutely terrible at mornings. Like, properly awful. The sort of person who sets seven alarms, hits snooze on all of them, then wonders why I’m always running late and leaving

Davincified Paint by Numbers Kits review

Cathy — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 12:09:45 +0000

Last Christmas, a friend gave me a colouring book called ‘Cats Being Dicks‘, in which I spent many happy hours colouring in cats being dicks in various ways. This whetted my appetite for more arty stuff, so when Davincified asked me if I wanted to review their paint by numbers

Garmin Forerunner 165 Review: What more could you want in wearable tech?

Cathy — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 11:45:16 +0000

When I started running in 2006, I didn’t have anything near as fancy as a Garmin Forerunner 165. In fact, I didn’t have anything fancier than a printed-off beginners schedule and a stopwatch. I soon upgraded my running tech though and became the proud owner of a Garmin Forerunner 301.

The Wolf in Socks Review + Giveaway: Win two pairs of fun, colourful socks

Cathy — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 12:45:51 +0000

The feel of a pair of new socks on your feet is right up there with the feel of fresh bedding, isn’t it? I have dozens of pairs of socks and I usually only buy more when a pair gets a hole in them, as the feel of a toe

Ion8 Luma Flask Review: My New Favourite Flask

Cathy — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 11:00:00 +0000

I recently bought the ION8 Luma Flask even though I have more flasks than shoes. I know this isn’t an exaggeration because I don’t actually own any shoes. I own trainers, boots and sneakers but no shoes. Ah, hang on a sec – I’ve just realised this isn’t actually true.

Vegan Protein Bar Recipe

Cathy — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 11:00:00 +0000

This vegan protein bar recipe makes the most oaty, seedy and delicious protein bars you’ve ever had (probably)! I’ve been on a bit of a health kick recently and upping my protein to aid muscle recovery after exercise, so I thought I’d make some vegan protein bars instead of buying

Fresh Strawberry & Nectarine Mocktail

Cathy — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 16:40:56 +0000

I never knew fresh apricots were extinct. I wanted to make the apricot appetiser mocktail from The Virgin Cocktail Garden as it looked simple, with just a few ingredients easily found in the shops. Or so I thought. Could I find fresh apricots? Could I bollocks. I looked online at Sainsbury’s,

Crispy Air Fried Smoked Paprika Chickpeas

Cathy — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 10:21:19 +0000

I’ve been attempting to up my exercise lately, which is all well and good but, with exercise comes appetite and if I burn off 300 calories, it makes me want to eat 1,000, so some healthy snacks were needed to stop me munching on crisps and chocolate. I bought a

Free Soul Protein Powder Review

Cathy — Wed, 28 May 2025 11:00:00 +0000

I have absolutely no idea where I first heard about Free Soul Protein Powder but I remember liking the sound of it because it was formulated especially for women. To be honest, things marketed towards women don’t usually appeal but now I’m into the menopause and feeling the effects of
