Explore New Workout Routines 

One of the best ways to take your exercise regime to new heights is by exploring a new workout routine. It’s easy to get bored of exercising if you’re doing the same things all of the time, and it may even lead to a plateau in your results. There are so many different sources that you can investigate to come across a variety of different exercise options, starting off by contacting a personal trainer. A personal trainer has a wealth of knowledge of multiple routines, moves and concepts that you can get involved with, and they can walk you through your new workout step by step to make sure you’re maintaining the right form to get the best results. You can also look online, as there are thousands of workout videos, tutorials, guides and more on the web that you can utilize! Whether you choose to perform a 3day leg split workout or follow a pilates video, or there are so many options to explore. Break free from your habit of the same old exercise routine and get excited about brand new concepts that put the spark back into your workouts. 

Get Some New Exercise Clothing 

Another brilliant option that you can explore to take your workout to new heights is to get yourself some new exercise clothing! The outfits that you wear to workout can actually have a surprising impact on the way that you exercise, as uncomfortable, dull and lifeless clothing can make you feel uninspired to say the very least. On the other hand, buying yourself a couple of new outfits can put some pep back in your step and motivate you to hit the gym harder than ever before! You’ll stride past the gym mirror with the greatest confidence thanks to your new clothing, and this might just be the boost that you need to push yourself to achieve a personal best you never thought was possible. There are so many places that you can buy great exercise clothes from, especially when you take the opportunity to look on the web, so be sure to spend some time browsing around to find the comfiest, most stylish exercise gear that can help you to take your workout routine to new heights!

Golden Touch*

18th August 2022

Ad|Post features gifted products

Up until a year or two ago I was strictly silver/white gold jewellery only. Yellow gold seemed too grown up for me, and perhaps even a little boring.

Well, I am a grown up now (apparently) and I find myself more and more drawn to yellow gold pieces of jewellery. I’ve recently added some beautiful pieces to my collection, hence why I’ve once again bought myself out of blogging hibernation to show them off.

rings c/o Astley Clarke

Astley Clarke, a brand I have admired for years, recently let me pick from their collection of gold rings and it was like letting a kid loose in a candy shop! I literally spent hours browsing their collection (because I kept getting side tracked and looking at the rest of their stunning jewellery too) before settling on these two beauties. These are perfect for wearing as standalone pieces and for stacking and the Amazonite ring especially is perfect for brightening up any outfit; ideal given that very soon I will be back in work wear as my maternity leave draws to an end. I’ll share how I’m styling my rings over on Instagram once I’m back “in office”…where has the last ten months gone?

The other item I’ve recently acquired was a lucky giveaway win on Instagram. I started following Walking Primrose as soon as I caught a glimpse of their pieces. I’d actually already put this necklace on my Christmas list (yeah, already!) when I took a chance and entered a giveaway- something I never do these days! Anyway, I was gobsmacked to have won the necklace of my dreams, it’s even more stunning in real life, and the owner of the company really goes above and beyond when it comes to packaging and delivering her products- if you follow me on instagram you’ll have seen how it arrives.

I cannot stress enough how much I love Walking Primrose and the ethos behind the brand. Please do check out the website and read up on them.

So now my Christmas list is lacking in an item, but I can pretty much guarantee it’ll be another yellow gold piece…or two, or three!

Can You Manage Your Money More Efficiently?*

05th August 2022

Have you been giving your finances some thought lately? Perhaps you have decided that you think you can manage your finances a little more efficiently, and it’s time to start taking some steps in this direction. If you’re struggling with how to do this though, it’s a good thing that you’ve come across this article. Down below, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that you can do in order to achieve this goal, so keep reading down below if you would like to find out more.

With Some Professional Help

First, we recommend that you get the help of a professional. You can look at a site like financialadvisers.co.uk if you think that this will be helpful to you. They are able to find the problems with your finances right now, recommend things that you can do to get them back on the right track, and even save you money in some places. It’s important sometimes to get expert help so that you know you are on the right track and doing all of the right things.

Finances are a tricky thing to manage, and having someone on your side with knowledge and expertise can be a huge help. The last thing that you want to do is struggle on your own when help is available.

Break It All Down

If you break down your finances into bite sized pieces, they become a lot easier to manage. For example, where you might be getting confused by all the numbers, write them out in a list and take a look at them this way. Make sure that you are matching up all of the bills to the amount you have to pay, what dates they need to be paid, and how much you get paid on payday. Having all of this information gives you power, and allows you to plan out exactly what you want to do.

Keep Everything Up To Date

The final thing that we are going to say is that you need to keep all of your finances up to date. If you have a budget then it needs to be updated whenever there is a financial change. Not taking the time to make the appropriate changes means that your budget is going to be useless to you, and you will be back at square one, super confused and not knowing which way is up in no time. It only takes a few minutes to update the necessary parts of your finances, but it makes a huge impact when you don’t do it.

You can find out more about budgets and why they are important on a site like https://www.investopedia.com if you are interested.

Hopefully, you have found this helpful, and now see some of the ways that you can manage your money more efficiently. It’s important that you are taking the time to keep your financial situation in order as much as you can, and that means looking after it as efficiently as you can. We wish you the very best of luck, and hope that you manage to get this sorted out sooner rather than later.
