Keep Your Squats Low and Standards High

I’ve always wanted to become a personal trainer. I’m into fitness and health and the gym etc etc but I always had a little goal at the back of my head of becoming a PT. So, I have done exactly that. I’m officially a level 3 qualified personal trainer. It was one of my little…

Get To Know Me

I asked my followers to send me questions, and I was surprisingly met with a lot. I didn’t/don’t intend to make this an extremely long post so I’ve selected a hand full. What’s the reason behind your blog name, what’s the purpose of your blog, what motivates you to continue? @withloveyossy At the start of making this…

Dear Millennials

Dear Millennials, Those of all ages, genders and identities. Whether you fit into the ‘generation y’ or ‘generation z’. This one is for you. We’ve grown up around smartphones and gadgets, tablets and apps. Our whole societal identity is based on technology. Bookmarked as problematic. Unsocial. Selfish.

Like A Girl

#InternationalWomensDay Today is a vital day in continuing to recognise the fundamental importance of standing strong as a women, supporting others and keeping a voice. One of the reasons why I exercise my freedom of expression is to fulfil the privilege I have of simply obtaining one. I’m free to express myself, vocally, physically, creatively…

More Than a Pretty Face

We’re a distracted society. We place value and attention on materialism and consumerism, yet discard the things that hold meaning – our values, nature and character. In a society so distracted we praise the most, with the most. The most in followers, attention, wealth, assets. We’re so busy chasing this idealistic notion of life, we…
