Tips for Summer weight loss

It is officially summer time and what better reminder to start looking after yourself than muffin tops and cellulite Sally! I have been on my own lil weight loss journey since putting on weight over December/January a year ago. This was due to a bad reaction to 'the pill' and eating and drinking too much over the festive season (I can't blame it all on the pill you guys).

What every girl thinks at the gym

Lets talk about the gym. The air-conditioned building full of complicated equipment, dampened t-shirts, water bottles and colourful mini towels. Everyone is there for one reason and one reason only, for their bodies to look better than they already do. Since summer is fast approaching us South Africans, I thought it only fitting to delve into what goes through the mind of an average female whilst at the gym. Its a non-stop analysis of everything and everyone around us, and this is barely scratching the surface.

My first corporate event

I was asked to organise a Wellness Day event for the printing company I'm working for, which took place a few days ago after weeks of planning. Hence being too busy to write this blog post until now! Because the staff work in a heavily mechanised environment, events like these are considerably important to each individual working in the company.


The service providers I invited to the event were the Fort Napier team (blood pressure, aids test, mental health), Virgin Active (fitness tests), Capitec Bank (financial planning), the Eye Wellness Group and a private dietitian. We provided healthy goodie bags for each attendee and lucky draw prizes such as gym towels, caps, water bottles and pedometers to name a few. There were still questions from the guys as to where the braai meat, biltong and beer was, but it was 'Wellness Day' hello!
