Now I know not many people have one but we have found it an incredibly valuable investment. Especially when cutting down for a bikini season or getting ready to squeeze back into the little black dress for party season. Whenever its visual over edible everyone always feels deprived and of…
Usually my baking creations are invented because of an impending event or request, but these Vegan Choco Krispies were born out of lust. A purely selfish bake – I wanted chocolate, I wanted coconut oil, I wanted something crunchy but fudgey and I didn’t want to feel too bad about…
Dairy Free Tropical Fruit Loaf by BakingBright Myself and my other half have given up a few indulgent treats for Lent, so I wanted to make something that will satisfy our sweet tooth, but, also something that we would actually look forward to eating too! I asked him what sort…
It probably feels like we bang on about Nutrition being key to any body shape changes or fat loss, but that’s because it is the truth! Yes these exercises will help work the muscles in the specific working area but it will not do anything about the amount of…
by Rosie Campbell What is too much training? When I was in the grips of the bulimic stage of my eating disorder, I was at university. I would hit the gym twice a day, every single day, with the goal to burn off as many calories as I could. I…
Pistachio Power Balls by BakingBright I love snacking. One of my fellow cast members on the tour I am on calls me a little rabbit – always in the corner munching on something (leave your dirty jokes at the door please…!). ‘Healthy’ snacking can be challenging sometimes, so here is…
Noir W1, a bar-come restaurant (right next to Selfridges, just off Oxford Street) invited me to come for a meal to check out their signature cocktails and different take on classic, cool foods. Like any excitable, impatient kid at Christmas, I couldn’t wait to see what awaited so I had…
Social Media Cleanse By Rosie Campbell I think it’s really important to surround ourselves with the right people. During the latter years of my eating disorder, I lived alone. I had a job that paid well and I valued my independence, but living alone meant that some of my obscure…
Double Chocolate Protein Cookies by BakingBright Double Chocolate PROTEIN cookies??? Why the extra protein I hear you ask? I’ve decided to venture out of my comfort zone at the gym – which would have usually consisted of a lot of running – and I have started to lift some weights….
DO YOU HAVE THE ENTREPRENEUR’S CHROMOSOME? by Karan Dennis I had an interesting encounter recently, with a lady I will call Frieda. Frieda is a young, single mother, who started her own business towards the end of last year. Frieda is immensely talented doing her thing, but was beginning to…
Deadpool I was asked to write this review as I’ve been a Deadpool fan for sometime. I have been waiting for this movie since Ryan Reynold’s (half) took on the role for Wolverine Origins in 2009 and since 2010 an IMDB page has been up declaring the movie in pre-production….
Hello, I’m Rosie, and I’m going to be doing a few posts here and on Those London chicks fitness adviser Sean Lerwill’s site. I will probably talk about all sorts of things, as my brain can be very random and go off on tangents, but the main purpose behind my…
If you are in need of an easy watch series then Pretty little Liars is it. It is also possible to follow the story whilst not paying complete attention but I would advise putting down your phone and closing your laptop as there are loads of little nuggets you will…
For those of you that aren’t aware, I spent the latter half of last year working on my own nutrition book. This hit the Amazon ebook shelves at the beginning of this month to allow anyone wanting to kick off 2016 with a health and fitness regime to do so…
In a previous lifetime I was a Team Building Instructor, and had the pleasure of working with some of the great corporate behemoths of our time: ING Group, PriceWaterhouse and GlaxoSmithKline, to name but a few. Once deployed on a mission, we would organise theatrical “corporate kidnappings”, where the Grande…

If you are in the mood for ridiculous then make Wet Hot American Summer your next feast. If you are some one who does not laugh at fart jokes or complete and utter stupidness then maybe scroll over this option. I however, am more often than not in the mood…
Jump to the beat…It’s Jumpsuit time! Au revoir 2015 and your bad-ass self! 2016, I’m ready for you, so let’s start you with a bang…New Year’s Eve aka Party, PARTY TIME!! I’ve been blessed to have experienced and celebrated New Years in a variety of ways. From romantic meals for…
How Long Should I Train For? by Sean Lerwill If you were following my ramblings last year on social media, you may be aware that from May – Sept I decided to stop using a gym; choosing instead to exercise at home/in the park with my bodyweight, rollout wheels, a…
The New Year’s Revolution! At midnight our previous year flashed before us as our New Year appeared as a welcoming window of hope. We hugged and kissed loved ones, chinked glasses and promised new resolutions. We do so for the sake of tradition but if we look at hard facts,…
