Did you know what you eat doesn’t just affect your body—it impacts your mind too? 💭✨

Healthy eating isn’t about restriction, it’s about nourishment. When you fill your plate with whole foods—like vibrant veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats, and slow-burning carbs—you’re not just supporting weight loss or fitness goals. You’re giving your brain the nutrients it needs to feel focused, balanced, and energised. 🧠💪

🍓 More fruit and veg = better digestion + glowing skin
🥑 Healthy fats = hormone balance + stable mood
🥗 Balanced meals = steady energy + fewer cravings

Small swaps can make a BIG difference. Your body will thank you—and so will your mood. ❤️

Let’s eat to feel good, inside and out.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our latest cooking session — this time featuring the one and only Mini Eggs! 🌈✨

From baking delicious treats to getting creative in the kitchen, the room was full of smiles, laughter, and that unmistakable smell of melted chocolate! 🍪👩‍🍳 Whether you were a master chef or just there for the snacks, we loved seeing everyone get stuck in.

Here’s what some of you had to say:

🗣️ “So much fun, and the recipe was easy to follow!”
🗣️ “Can’t wait to try this on my own"
🗣️ “The best bit? Definitely eating them at the end!”

We’re already planning our next session, so keep your eyes peeled 👀 and your aprons ready!

Today we’re celebrating England’s patron saint, St George — a symbol of courage and honour. Known for the legendary tale of slaying a dragon, St George’s story has inspired generations with its message of bravery and standing up for what's right.

St George's Day has been marked in England since the 13th century, and while it’s rooted in history, it’s also a great opportunity to celebrate English culture, tradition, and community spirit.

Did you know.....

🛡️ St George wasn’t English – He was actually born in what is now modern-day Turkey, and he never visited England!

🐉 The dragon legend came later – The famous story of St George slaying a dragon was added centuries after his death. It’s a symbol of good triumphing over evil.

🏴 St George is not just England’s patron saint – He’s also the patron saint of several other places, including Georgia, Catalonia (Spain), Portugal, and Ethiopia.

📅 St George’s Day used to be a big deal – It was once as widely celebrated in England as St Patrick’s Day is in Ireland. It even used to be a national holiday!

🌹 The red rose is the symbol of the day – It’s traditional to wear a red rose on your lapel on St George’s Day, inspired by Shakespeare’s reference to it in Henry VI.
