I've always wanted to do a juice cleanse but ironically like being vegan, I'd put into the too hard basket. I'd read a lot about the benefits of juice fasting, from the obvious weight loss to improved sleep, improved blood sugar levels and a general diet restart. To be honest, the diet re-start was the … Continue reading My experience with a 5 day juice cleanse
When I talk to my non running friends about running a common theme bubbles to the surface; ‘don’t you get bored?’, ‘how do you keep going?’ I certainly didn’t wake up one morning and say to myself, ‘I’m going to run for 3 hours this morning’, it’s been a slow and gradual process over about … Continue reading What I listen to on a run
Welcome to the first installment 'Get out there' trail review posts. As a beginner trail runner, there were few things I found more daunting than finding somewhere to run.

But I have been continuing my little experiment which bloody Netflix keeps corrupting by adding more and more documentaries. Are you kidding me? How am I … Continue reading #PlasticFreeJuly
Hello enviro lovers! Well I'm feeling quite a little bit impressed with myself. Now when you open my over sized hand bag, not only to lip balm, credit cards and organizers fly out, but so do re-usable shopping bags, a re-usable coffee cup and a water bottle! Everything but the kitchen sink. It's been working … Continue reading Got my keep cup!
Don't worry I'm not being slack, I haven't disappeared or given up. In a minor deviation from the Netflix documentaries, I started watching The War on Waste which has become some what of a phenomenon here in Australia over the past couple of weeks. The first installment of the three part series, talked about food … Continue reading Tackling the War on Waste
So I have been a little MIA lately, but my challenge is still going. The True Cost challenge was a great start for me. I'm sorry I was slack on the sharing end. After my initial running gear audit, I had a look at the rest of my wardrobe and made a substantial donation to … Continue reading Sustainable running gear review
