    🌿 Fuel Your Body, Lift Your Mood 🌿

    supporting image

    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.

    🐉 Happy St George’s Day! 🐉

    supporting image

    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.

    Let's talk about Period poverty - because no one should have to chose between food and pads.

    supporting image

    Period poverty is real - and more common than people think. It's not just about affording pads or tampons; it's about feeling clean, comfortable, and confident.

    If you've ever had to stretch a product too far, felt awkward asking for help, or had to go without - you're not alone.

    Here's the good news:

    There are places that can help with free or low cost period products - no judgment, just support.

    Where to get help:

    • Local food banks: Many food banks now include period products. Find your nearest one here: https://isleofwight.foodbank.org.uk/
    • My period app: Where there's everything you need to know about periods, period education, and where to find free products:. https://myperiod.org.uk/
    • Ask at your local GP or sexual health clinic - they may have free products available or know where you can get them locally.

    It's ok to ask. You're not alone. Periods are natural - struggling to afford products shouldn't be.

    Let's keep the conversation open and support each other without shame.
