I’ve noticed more and more nostalgia posts on my social media feeds recently.
“Remember these?!”
“Top 10 Trends every 90’s Girl Remembers!”
“Who remembers doing this?!”
We seem to love a throwback or a comeback.
With things seeming so bleak right now, I think we are all craving simpler times, fun times.
We could all do with a bit of cheering up right now so I thought it might be funny if I took a trip down memory lane. Sit back and let me entertain you with tales from my teenage years…
Well, this year WAS planned out to perfection with everything neatly scheduled in my diary. 2020 had other ideas though!
I am definitely a self-certified control freak but this year has been a harsh reminder that I can’t always be in control. Sometimes, no matter what you do, you are at the mercy of the world around you.
Dance Fit – It’s all about burning calories, toning up and ultimately getting fitter by dancing to your favourite chart hits! The dance element of the class makes it fun and because you are concentrating on following the moves you forget you’re exercising. You might call it exercise in disguise.
These are the basics but here’s the stuff you really need to know…
As the kids go back to school, I’m preparing to go back to Dance Fit.
After seeing so many posts on my news feed of friends’ children kitted out in their school uniform, I can’t help but think me and my class members should post ‘back to class’ photos of ourselves with all our workout gear on to mark the occasion!
We’re all human and for that reason I challenge anyone to score a clean sheet on this health and fitness themed version of ‘Never Have I Ever…’!
Here are some secrets I definitely don’t like to brag about! See how you fare with these questions –
It’s been a busy old week at Dance Fit with Helen HQ. There’s been lots of work going on behind the scenes to get classes back up and running very shortly (more info coming next week!) and we have been preparing to have a new carpet fitted in our bedroom (rock ‘n’ roll stuff or what?) Of course, having a new carpet fitted means emptying the entire room and moving it all to somewhere else in the house. I’m sure I don’t need to explain how much of a chore this was.
Here’s a little look at what’s been going on inside my brain over the last 7 days (if you’re interested of course.)
P.S This blog post may have been better titled, ‘A Week of Whinging,’ ‘Ramblings of an Over Thinker,’ or ‘This Week’s Worries.’
If you asked me what I missed most during lockdown, aside from seeing my family, friends and my classes, I would have to say my massages.
Back at the beginning of May I wrote a blog post entitled ‘My Lockdown in Pictures.’
Three months on, I thought it would be amusing to scroll back through my gallery and dig out some hilarious photos.
We love summer but summer doesn’t always love us.
Here are ten classic summertime struggles women know all too well. Why should we suffer in silence ladies?!
Next week I turn the big 30. It’s the end of an era.
At a small gathering for a friend’s 30th the other week, one of my friends (who’s already turned 30) asked if anyone else had noticed that they had gone up an age bracket when it came to filling in forms. At least that’s one thing I’ve got to look forward to!
