BLOG
My aim with these Blogs is to pass on simple, easy, tips and hints for improved well-being. I avoid suggesting anything unpleasant or prohibitively expensive as I prefer the bang-for your-buck interventions; the ones that under-promise and over-deliver!
Good Health shouldn’t have to be an expensive or elusive quest. I don’t post too often either as excessive advice is just as annoying as not having enough information; there are only so many hours in a day to get everything done.
