🌟 New to running? Here are my top 5 tips to get you started! 🌟
With the weather warming up, the days getting longer, and maybe some friends gearing up for the London Marathon, it’s the perfect time to start running. No matter what’s inspiring you, get ready for those runner highs that come with each step! 👣
After 6 weeks of rest and recovery, I’ll be following this advice myself. Since I haven’t exercised since February, I’ll be starting from scratch. 💪 I’ll be using the NHS Couch to 5k app, a fantastic FREE tool that helps you build stamina gradually with run-walk intervals. And if you’re unfamiliar, ‘Jeffing’ (named after @jeffgallowayolympian ) is a popular run-walk method many runners swear by for all distances. The key takeaway: it’s not about how you cross the finish line, it’s about getting started!
🌱 Setting realistic goals is crucial for staying motivated and celebrating your progress. Grab my free SMART goal worksheet via the link in my bio—it doesn’t just have to be for running! 😊
Starting an exercise routine can feel intimidating, but trust me—you’ve got this! I’m here cheering you on, and I’m confident you’ll keep moving forward toward your goals. Here’s to your health, happiness, and all the small wins along the way! 🙌

I have really been enjoying my mandatory rest post-out patient procedure. Each weekend, I have been treating myself to a little something. Last weekend, @themassageworks_ came over to my house for a 60 minute deep tissue massage #gifted 🎁
Having a massage in my home is my ideal way to relax. Before Covid, I would often have someone come to my home for a massage rather than going to a clinic. By having the masseuse come to me, I don`t have to worry about being on time, public transport or rushing home to Maple. One of the best pieces of advice my mom ever gave me was to schedule time to relax after a massage. She is 100% correct. 💯
The benefits of massage include:
✔️Stress reduction
✔️Muscle tension release
✔️Pain relief
✔️Better range of motion
✔️Improved circulation
✔️Increased relaxation
✔️Lymphatic drainage
✔️Enhanced immune function
✔️Better sleep
Ricky, founder of #themassageworks , is very friendly and professional. He brought everything he needed for my massage and even threw in some assisted stretching for my tight hamstrings during my session. The pressure he applied was perfect for me (he did check early on if it was acceptable). I slept so well that night! 😴
Just starting out, Ricky is a mobile and also has a clinic in High Barnet. Book now to take advantage of his introductory pricing. You will not be disappointed! 💆🏻♀️

Are you open to trying new healing therapies? I am always curious about different technologies and techniques (as well as read the research papers). The Human Regenerator can reduce
inflammation and put the body into a relaxation state. Both of these things my body could use so when @regenifyhealth invited me over to try their therapeutic electromagnetic bed, I organized my husband to drop me off at the clinic.*
As soon as I entered the space, I was immediately put to ease. Everything was explained to me, from how to sit on the bed, what to expect while I received my treatment, and how I would feel afterwards (see their feed to see an immediate interview). Relaxing music played as I laid on the bed and nearly drifted off.
Within a few hours of the treatment, I noticed my right arm (which I injured when skiing in Italy) had a slightly better range of motion. The ROM has continued to improve since the treatment too.
In talking with Helen, the owner, people can respond differently to the treatment. She has many testimonials explaining the effects people have experienced. Feel free to reach out to her if you have any questions.
*My treatment was provided at a discounted rate.

The ultimate Netflix and chill
With the house to myself and chores done, I broke out my @hydroflask.eu travel tumbler #gifted for time on the couch with Maple over the weekend. Of course, I need my snacks handy so I used this cool bowl to keep everything with easy reach.
I used this tumbler every day when recovering from my kidney infection. The straw makes it so much easier to stay hydrated and I smile every time I put my shark cap on the straw. Many people paint their tumblers to personalize them so I need to find some stickers to make it more `me.`
Hydroflask products keep drinks hot or cold for hours on end. I can confidently sip my Diet Coke knowing that the ice is only keeping it cold, not diluting out the taste. Plus the metal lining avoids quick bacterial build up which can affect the taste.
IMO, you can never go wrong investing in a Hydroflask. I have a half a dozen different products now and they are always my go to. Which bottle or cup is your favorite?

Mother`s Day (in the UK) is just around the corner 💐
If your mum lives in or near London, why not skip the flowers and book her in for a massage or facial at @thewellnessandbeautyclinic_ in West Hampstead?
To thank all the mothers out there for everything they do, the Wellness and Beauty Clinic is offering 50% off sports massages and facials.
The sports massage doesn`t need to be painful. Mum just needs to tell the therapist what she is after (deep tissue vs light and relaxing). I can assure you that the clinic space easily transforms into a relaxing space with salt lamps, fairy lights, and calming music. These things don`t make for great videos, however!
Premium brand skincare products and treatments mean mum will come out looking refreshed after her facial.
The good news is that if Mum enjoys her treatment so much, she can continue to receive 10% off future bookings using PTMWBC10.
Let`s support small businesses this Mother`s Day. Book an appointment or purchase a gift voucher today!

Everybody loves the sunshine!
☀️ Spring skiing is like the best of both worlds. Imagine blue skies, warm temps, and endless sunshine while you carve through stunning slopes. 🎿 A ski getaway with a beach vacation vibe? Yes, please! 🌊🍹
This was not what I was expecting when we headed to Cervinia, Italy, in the Aosta Valley in February. It is your perfect spring ski destination—reliable snow, breathtaking views, and plenty of sunshine to boost your mood. Don’t forget the sunscreen! 😉
Check out my latest blog post via link in bio for all the reasons why Cervinia is perfect for both families and duos to visit.
Big thanks to @cervinoskiparadise @axistravelmarketing #gifted lift tickets and lunch x2

One the hardest thing about having skiing was a hobby is how expensive it is. If you aren`t lucky enough to live within driving distance of a mountain, you probably have to fly to get there. ✈️
Investing in your own skis and boots can potentially save you some money, but airlines now charging for luggage, sometimes the fee negates packing your own gear. 🧳
Taking a tip from @weekendskier I decide to upgrade my single ski bag to a double. By checking maximum ski bag luggage size with my airline (British Airways), my aim is to never have to use a regular suitcase on a ski trip ever again. ⛷️
For a 5 day ski trip (2 days for travel, 3 days of skiing), the double bag worked perfectly (until the airline ripped my bag). I realized I need a rucksack-style boot bag to make it easier to haul both bags at the same time. That is on my list to buy for next ski season. 🎿
Remember, each airline will have different baggage allowances, so please check before you fly.
What other packing tips do you have for ski season?

🏔️Dreaming of hitting the slopes, but don’t live near the Alps? 🏂 Skiing in the UK is possible, and you don’t even need to wait for the snow to fall! ❄️
Whether you`re a complete beginner or just looking to refresh your skills, there are some fantastic options across the country to learn and practice skiing all year round. Here’s where you can learn to ski in the UK:
@southwiltsski (SWSC) - Located near Stonehenge, SWSC offers a unique Infinity Slope, a giant treadmill that simulates the real skiing experience without any lift queues or weather interruptions. I had a blast during my session, and the personalized coaching helped me progress so quickly. 🏅
Dry Slopes - Not near SWSC? Don’t worry! Dry slopes like the one at @bettergoslingsportspark are great budget-friendly alternatives for learning how to ski. It`s an excellent way to get your ski legs without having to travel far! ⛷️
Indoor Ski Centres - For a more realistic snowy experience, check out Snozone in Milton Keynes, Europe’s largest indoor snow centre. 🎿
The UK may not have towering mountains like the Alps, but these centres are a great way to boost your skills before your next ski trip. 🏔️
Click on the link in my bio to make sure you are ready to hit the slopes by next ski season.
