Be Yourself and Find Real Happiness

The quote that inspired this post is "Remember, it's OK to be yourself" by Richard Branson. It is so simple but so important. Many of us don't tell ourselves this simple line often enough. And when I do, it takes me a moment to appreciate the power in saying it. Nowadays, it's difficult to not compare yourself to others. With people's lives displayed online in various forms, it's not easy to...

Workout Music: Groovy Tracks to add to your Mix

Music has the power to change your workout experience. In the last year, I have been trying quite a few different types of high-intensity workouts, from Betty Rocker to Fittlyss. And I have found that, when a groovy track comes on, tough exercises like burpees don’t seem as difficult anymore. The rhythm of funky tracks is often upbeat and motivating, but it’s more than that. Listening to feel-good groovy music just adds that something special to a workout, that get-down and enjoy it kind of feeling. Of course, music is personal, but here are some groovy tracks to add to your workout music mix, to inspire you to get down on it!

Rome Sightseeing Stroll at Sunrise (without the crowds)

One of my new favourite things to do, when I'm up for it, is stroll through the centre of Rome at the crack of dawn. The city is clean and fresh and quiet. It's also a totally different experience seeing the main sites. You get to actually SEE them in all their glory, without the masses of people covering them. Central Rome sightseeing at its best! This last stroll started at...

Have some Funtime

We've been busy little bees, navigating this new city. From the bigger things like finding a home and work, to the myriad of other smaller things. Pushing ourselves to the max, we've been all go go go! Sure, there's still lots to do, but as I've said before, a balanced life is a productive life. Before we burn out completely, we need some funtime! How hard have you been working lately? If you look at your...

Know what’s important to you

After our road trip, we were both glad to be back in Rome. It was a good sign, a sign that we'd made a good choice for our new home. Back in Rome, we both found ourselves eager to settle. We'd been on the road for 10 days, and even before that we'd been on the move, so to speak. We felt like we'd gone off track a bit, galavanting around, trying...

Go on a road trip

~~ Ciao ~~ Road tripping is one of the best things to do. Whether it's for two days or ten, it's so good to get up, get out, and go exploring. It doesn't matter if your destination is simply a couple hours away, it pulls you out of your normal life, and ignites your carefree spirit, where the journey to your destination is that much more part of the trip. When last...
