Weight Loss

May 8th, 2023

Ladies, let’s talk about weight loss, shall we? It’s the eternal struggle, the never-ending battle, the Sisyphean task that we all know and love. But before you roll your eyes and click away, let me tell you this: hormones are the real culprit behind those stubborn pounds.

You see, our hormones are like the puppeteers of our bodies, pulling the strings and making us do things we don’t want to do (like eat a whole pint of ice cream in one sitting). And when it comes to weight loss, these hormones can either be our best friends or our worst enemies.

For example, cortisol (a.k.a the “stress hormone”) can cause weight gain by increasing our appetite and storing fat in the abdominal area. Then there’s estrogen, which can also lead to weight gain by slowing down our metabolism and causing water retention. But the real troublemaker is insulin, which regulates our blood sugar and can cause weight gain when it’s out of whack.

Age Is Not A Barrier

Sep 29th, 2021

Do you feel your age is a barrier? Have you ever set aside a dream you held because you believe you’re just too cheugy? Do you harbour regret that the opportunity has passed you by because you didn’t grab it when you were younger? Do you have a gammy knee and groan when you sit down? Well, I can tell you whilst some things have age restrictions, like alcohol, nothing in life says you are too old.

I always had a fear about growing older and eventually dying, whatever awaits us on the other side, perhaps a dreamless sleep or perhaps an eternal bliss filled with loved ones. That everything I wanted had a termination date. If I hadn’t accomplished something of significance by a certain age, I was prepared to forego it. This thought extended into all areas of my life too – exactly how much longer is it still acceptable for me to continue to shop on ASOS? Recently, I had an opportunity to reflect on all the countless examples of people I was aware of or associated with that weren’t letting their age get in their way.

Cryptocurrency

Sep 15th, 2021

So, if you are sitting here reading this, I can only imagine what type of activities you are planning to undertake. So, what is your poison? Gambling, criminal activity or are you just simply wanting to watch the world burn? Well, either way, I am going to tell you a little story about a concept called cryptocurrency, many believe it is a nefarious tool but like a knife it has many utilities for good just as much if not more than it does for bad. Deep dive into this blog and not only will you leave knowing more about the creation of bitcoin, the first and most famous crypto, you’ll know a little about its creator and why it was created, alongside the technology that was used to create it, Blockchain. Still reading? Well then let us not beat around the bush and jump right at the beginning like any good tale.

Sustainable Clothing

Sep 1st, 2021

If you were paying attention to fashion month (which undoubtedly you were as why else would you be reading this) which took place in New York City in the fall of 2019, you undoubtedly heard the echo of “sustainable fashion” used repeatedly. Clearly, the fashion industry is getting on board with the idea of creating more environmentally friendly clothing, about time too.

According to Wikipedia, “Sustainable fashion is a part of the growing design philosophy and movement towards environmental and social sustainability, the goal of which is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of human impact on the environment and social responsibility”.

I think we can all agree that we need to figure out how to be more sustainable in every aspect of our lives, and that includes fashion. From sourcing clothing from more sustainable sources to being more thoughtful in the ways we wear, wash, and discard our clothes, so here’s my take on everything you need to know about sustainable fashion and eco-friendly clothing.

Get Me A Tesla

May 5th, 2021

If you’re reading this then you’re probably already sweating in desperation to get that electric car and become the fully blown eco warrior that you know yourself to be. I’m sure you’re also a fan of Elon Musk given the title of this blog and your eagerness to click it and I suspect you have a tasty holding of dogecoin (daddy Elon will take us to the moon after all). Don’t worry I am not here to bash anyone or anything but simply give you a more informed perspective into the mad hysteria that surrounds the allure of having an electric car. Are they sustainable? Do they have the range I need? Can I charge it efficiently? And will it make me look pretentious or well established among my peers? The plan is to hopefully answer all of these with what is quintessentially going to be an informal pros and cons list written by your favourite blogger. You enjoy reading these because it sounds like a conversation within your third eye and you’re certifiably insane, but we move.
