This year I chose to undertake a long, slow prep for competition which has been great in some ways, cause I’ve still been eating loads and it’s been less intense. I also went on a 7 day holiday only 6 weeks out from my show. People were confused. Should you be going on holiday so […]
Recently in the gym, I was chatting to my trainer Mark who was paying tribute to his wife, Leigh. “I could never do what she does” he claimed. “She gets up and 6am and prepares breakfast for our four kids, and preps my food for the day. Then she wakes the kids and gets them […]
When Sarah Gallagher, blonde goddess owner of La Bella Vita Salon in Belfast, rang me to offer me a free set of Gold Class Hair Extensions, I have to admit I was skeptical. Do they ruin your hair? (I naively asked) Sarah laughed and said it was a common misconception. Hair extensions have been around […]
Being a vegan doesn’t mean that you need to supplement differently. Anyone (vegan or not) who trains consistently in the gym, in my opinion, should be maximising their results by intelligent supplementation. Are supplements necessary? No. But if they can help you to build more muscle and burn more fat, as well as promoting general […]
Your leg day workout should be heavy and hard. Even for a vegan. (Especially for a vegan, cause we is plant strrrrrrong!) It should be eye wateringly-pants peeingly-vomit inducingly-hard.

Last November, I finally took the plunge (after YEARS of soul searching and deliberation) and got a boob job. (see next day pic below!) And I am not ashamed to admit that the reason I agonised for years over the decision, was because I was ashamed! I was ashamed that I didn’t love my body […]
I remember the first time I ever stepped foot inside a gym. My older sister Kerry had been training and invited me to come along for a session with her. So I donned my cycling shorts and shell suit (yes, this was the 90’s) and hop-skip-hopped to the gym after her. Where, I. Died. […]
A sneak peak inside my life When I was younger I went for an interview at a fancy new school. The headmaster was terribly posh and my parents had warned me in advance to be on my best behaviour. I sat there for more of the interview trying to look interesting and intelligent… Until the […]
The C word…(Not the one you’re thinking!) For most of my life, I was on a diet. Felt fat? Tried a new diet. Saw a new “low fat!” book come out? Gave that a go. But, always hopping from one thing to the next… It created a massive problem. A wildly sporadic style of living, […]
