How old am I? Biological age versus actual age Last week I took a biological age test. For the uninitiated, this test gives an approximation of biological age or how old my body seems, versus my actual (or chronological) age.

Balance - everything in moderation January is often a good time to look at where we are, and to try to bring things back into balance. This is because the New Year is a great chance to form new habits, and because it is an (often welcome) opportunity to recover from overindulgence over the holiday [...]

I love massage and it has been a regular (albeit periodic) feature of my life for many years. I’ll be sharing some of my experiences, including [...]
Benefits of Magnet Therapy I’ve recently started wearing magnetic jewellery. I must confess that I hadn’t actually heard of this until recently when I acquired a magnetic bracelet and Power Heart. I’m now wearing these daily and admit I have experienced some rather positive results. Why the need? Several months ago, I started experiencing some [...]

Well, I’ve just had it done, so I thought you may be interested to hear how it went. In the 6 weeks between the decision and the [...]
Life changing journey - Getting rid of excess weight This week, I met up for a long-overdue chat with a lady I’d met at the beginning of the year. We initially met through a mutual friend and had got chatting about this and that. Pam is a bubbly, attractive looking lady in her mid-50s. I [...]
