Read articleBuddha Bowl Recipe
I love Buddha Bowls, they are nutritious, easy to make (essentially I just look at what I’ve got in the fridge and cupboards and create my Buddha Bowls from there) and I love the vibrant colours on the plate once you have ‘built’ your Buddha Bowl. I also think my OCD likes how each element […]

Read articleThe Benefits of Exercise on Mental Health
The mental health benefits we get from exercise far outweigh any others in my opinion.
