Apparently, by the end of January, a third of those people who joined the gym as part of their New Years Resolution to get fit will have already stopped going* and that in the UK we wasted £37 million every year on unused gym memberships.**I thought about joining the gym myself a few weeks ago but I decided against it as I'd already joined Slimming World which is just under £5 a week so an extra £20-£30 a month didn't really appeal to me.Not that a gym membership is a bad thing - it's an investment in yourself and if you know you're going to stick to it then more power to you. … [Read more...]

Homemade ginger and lime body scrub….
I first learnt how to make this a few years ago at a blogging event and I loved it so much that I ordered the ginger and lime essential oils from eBay I think it was as soon as I got home.I made it regularly after than but then my oils ran out and I never got around to buying more until recently when our local chemist had a selection on sale.
