It’s the first day back at work after Easter and I’m sure everyone’s feeling the bloat!
So, I thought it would be a good time to post my review on the NOSH Detox Juice Fast, which I completed a few weeks ago. But after a long weekend in France eating/drinking far too much and the excesses of Easter weekend…I feel like I need another one! Read more
As New Year detoxing gets into full swing, I thought I’d re-post my Guide To The Ultimate Detox from this time last year. I’m doing pretty much exactly the same this year, but will be trying out a few new exercise classes which I’ll post about. Read more

Blow Bar has opened up blow dry hair salons in two London Virgin Active gyms (Moorgate and Mayfair). It’s such a brilliant idea and I’m suprised more gyms don’t offer it – perfect for the party season as well! Read more
'90's Cheese Party!
Last week, I headed to The Ivy, The River Cafe and The Beach Blanket Babylon for dinner (not on the same night I might add!), alongside a trip to the theatre to see The Mousetrap, a night out dancing to ’90′s cheese and an evening visit to the amazing Dennis Severs’ house in Shoreditch, followed by more drinks…apologies for the lack of posting but it was a busy/fun week!

At the start of the week, I was very excited to receive my 5 Day ‘Juice Master Cleanse’ from Soulmatefood. It is a 5 day, 6 juices a day detox which aims to totally cleanse the boy, kick-start your metabolism and lose you up to 6lbs! Read more
My beautiful, wonderful Aunt, Mel Seares, is taking part in the Great North Run next weekend, to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer – which constantly researches new treatments for Breast Cancer and how to prevent it in the future.
Very sadly, Mel was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 -with 3 young children to look after – and surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed. She has overcome it and is an inspiration to so many women out there.
Tragically, breast cancer is something that affects so many women and the more research we can do into preventing or curing this terrible disease the more we can do to help all those who are suffering and will suffer in the future.

Yesterday lunchtime I walked past a shop on a bustling Fitzrovia street to see five men, fully suited, sitting backwards in chairs, heads face down in pillows, getting rubbed up (and rather roughly too). They’d each paid £31 for the privilege.

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED.
Congratulations to Tracy Nixon from Tyne and Wear for winning!
FashionBite has a fab workout DVD for the XBox 360 to giveaway ‘Your Shape: Fitness Evolved’, courtesy of the lovely folks at Nivea, plus some glam goodies from Ann Summers…
With summer now fast approaching and an impending holiday to Tuscany in 6 weeks, the need to kick-start my body blitz is becoming quite apparent!
So a trip to the luxurious Ajala Spa in the 5* St. Paul’s Grange Hotel seemed like the perfect starting off point…

Amy Golding Tests Nike's New NTC App
Nike Blogging Event to Launch New App
GUEST BLOGGER: Freelance journalist and beauty writer Amy Golding
This January, I made the resolution not to buy a gym membership. So far I’ve succeeded. Yet I still want to keep fit and, as proof, have purchased a fab new gym kit, skipping rope, hula-hoop, exercise ball and handheld weights.
Now I am going to rely on Nike Training Club (NTC) to get me to use them. NTC is a new (free) app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, which offers 15, 30 and 45 minute training programmes in beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
Nike describes the App as like ‘having a personal trainer in your pocket’. This ‘trainer’ guides you though workouts with instructional and motivational messages, which play over your own music.
Different programmes aim to get you ‘lean’, ‘toned’, ‘strong’ and ‘focused’. As long as one of them gets me to do some exercise, I’ll be happy.
You can also watch demonstrational videos to see if you are performing an exercise, like a sit-up or squat, correctly. This is a plus for me. My biggest issue with exercising alone is that I don’t know whether anything I’m doing is actually beneficial.
If you are good and use the App regularly Nike rewards you by unlocking a range of ‘exclusive’ workouts. These include tennis superstar Maria Sharapova sharing her workout regime and revealing ‘secrets’ about her training.
In total, the App offers around 60 workouts and 90 drill combinations. I doubt I’ll ever compete them all, but it is nice to know they’re there if I need them.
You can download the App for free at iTunes.
