Raising girls can be a torment. They face pressures from all directions: sexism, pornography, the diet industry and on and on. We brought together some great posts on how parents – male and female – can help raise their daughters to be comfortable in their own skin. A pleasant side effect – by emulating the…
Harewood House Half Marathon Race Report
Harewood House Half Marathon was amazing. That’s it. The race report. I genuinely could happily stop there and say no more. However, I suppose that in the interests of writing a blog post that behaves like a blog post, I could explain why. It’s small enough to feel like a social run It’s well-organised – British…
Vegan Green Smoothie with Basil
What’s so wonderful about smoothies? Well, there are infinite varieties, you can make them sweet or savoury and experiment endlessly with flavours, plus they’re the quickest way to get fresh, healthy food into your body. Plus, if you get the balance of ingredients right, they’re delicious. Oh, and you can make them in less time…
What To Wear On Your Bike
We’re called Veggie Runners for a reason. We’re good at running. Cycling, not so much but we’re getting there. The soggy-bottomed bike ride has always been the trickiest bit of triathlon for us and we’ve written before about the uncomfortable feeling of being the only woman on the road at times. Thankfully clever Halfords Cycling have…
Vegan Cacao and Maple Smoothie
Move over coconut water, there’s a new, cool plant water kid on the block. I speak, of course, of maple water, which is popping up all over the place lately. Hell, if Vogue magazine can feature it, so can we… I’ll be honest, maple water doesn’t taste of much really but that has its benefits….
Mango and Goji Berry Smoothie
What do you get if you add mangoes, goji berries and chia seeds to a smoothie? A stack of amazing nutrients in a glass, that’s what! This smoothie has anti-oxidants up the wazoo – both the mango and the berries are good sources. Both have plenty of Vitamin C too and, if you’re still…
Setting Our Intentions
What does setting an intention mean? The idea can sound a bit vague and woolly, as if saying ‘my intention is to be happy today’ will actually make you happy. But, hey, guess what? It can! The whole idea behind setting an intention is to generate a mindset that you apply throughout a particular period of time…
Vegan Cranberry Tiffin
Tiffin is a sweet little treat made with chocolate and broken biscuits. It originated in Scotland (I’ll admit I’ve just learned this) but came into its own when it met my kitchen. Ha, not really, but this quick and easy recipe definitely gives traditional tiffin recipes a kick in the butt. I won’t even go…
The No-Effort Resolution That Will Change Your Life in 2016
Experience less stress, sleep more deeply and improve your relationship in 2016 with one, simple act? It IS possible, I swear. Ready? Ban your smartphone from your bedroom. Believe me, it will change your life. You’ll be more present, have a little more thinking space, and (if you’re anything like me at least) turn off your light…
Pistachio and Cardamom Marzipan
These vegan treats are delicious, super simple to make and would be lovely Christmas gifts. I don’t think I can really pretend that a food containing nearly a quarter sugar is healthy, but pistachios are great sources of mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin E and iron. Just make sure you share them around and don’t eat them all. (Believe…
