This is ‘Why’…Summer Stories 2019

Posted on by lucia.mee

Honestly, I’m not too sure where to start with this blog. Sat here now, it feels like there is too much to say to even begin. But hey ho…here we are, so I’ll try and do it anyways.

This summer, although it seems like it has been far too short, has been incredibly busy and incredibly…incredible. The two main things which happened this summer are the British Transplant Games and the World Transplant Games. It seems as though for the past two-ish months I have been living in a ‘games bubble’ and I’m not mad about it at all.  I would quite like to move in permanently to be honest.

(First of all, if you didn’t start sing Monty Python’s ‘always look on the bright side of life,’ after reading the title…then I’m not sure we can be friends, sorry.)

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women in this big bad world of ours. Today is to celebrate you. Your achievements, triumphs, the things you have overcome, the barriers you have broken down.

If anyone is in any doubt of why we celebrate International Women’s Day, if you think there’s no need, if you think we have reached equality and there’s nothing left to fight for…first off – I would like to welcome you to a little place called ‘The Real World.’  I would love to know where you live, cause it definitely aint any place near me.  Read More »

New year, New You? No thank you…12 Days of Christmas

Posted on by lucia.mee

January. The month of the detox. The cleanse. The flat tummy tea. The diet. The gym rush.

The thing is, in essence, I actually really like the whole new year, new goals concept. I love a fresh start, a plan and feeling motivated to go for my goals.

What I really hate though, is when the diet industry hijacks the entire thing. They profit off making people feel guilty about the perceived ‘over indulgence’ of the Christmas period. Read More »
