75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
So… I don’t meal plan. I actually did when we were in lockdown briefly and it was great, less food waste and time wasted every week. Sometimes when we’re super busy I don’t cook at all for weeks at a time. In the winter I cook at least 2 meals a day at home but... Continue Reading →
Ultimately conspiracies come from the fact that historically some information was suppressed or maybe unknown. I’m not a conspiracy believer as a whole but for a time I did watch a few of those ‘inside job’ films. They did make me question stuff too for a time, so I see how people do go down...
