There are always jobs that sink to the bottom of our to-do lists and sometimes they stay there for a while but, with my versatile approach, I can help you tackle that list, get organised and be on top of your work again, whilst keeping costs low and not compromising on high standards....
Wouldn’t that be good?
I have a wealth of experience in administration, having worked for Senior Executives as a PA for the last 8 years.
Scheduling trips, arranging events, tidying up and organising lives... Some may say these are the mundane and time-consuming tasks we must all tackle, but luckily for you this is what I love to get involved in!
My work ethos is to add value to your day and make your life easier. Given the evolving COVID-19 situation and the challenges it continues to present to companies, I would like to help in any way I can.
If you feel that you/your company could benefit from my services, no matter how big or small you are as a business, please get in touch - I would love to work with you.

Staying Home and Staying Healthy
BY CLAIRE GRAY, RENU - HEALTH, BEAUTY & FITNESS
Staying home this much certainly takes some
getting used to! Just weeks ago, many of us were on the go, rushing from place to place from dawn till dusk. Now many of us are having to learn to slow down a little.
While we adjust to these temporary changes, it is important to incorporate some of our old lives into the new. We need to look after ourselves and stay healthy. Eating well, keeping up with exercise and keeping our minds active will make a big difference to how we feel as the days go by.
TIPS TO STAY ACTIVE
It might not be possible to exercise the way you are used to, but it is so important to keep moving! Exercise improves blood flow and memory, and stimulates chemical changes that enhance your mood. The good news is there are plenty of ways to stay active, while keeping social distancing and isolation requirements. 1 Join an online class. So many gyms, Pilates, yoga and dance studios have gone on-line and some are video links or live classes. You can also often access the live classes after the event, to do them in your own time in your own home. It’s a great chance to try something new, safely interact with other people outside your isolation boundaries, and fit things in at a time to suit you. Get your friends involved too so you can share the experience … the more the merrier! 2 Exercising This is one of the reasons we are currently allowed out and about, so make sure you get out in the fresh air and go for a walk. The fresh air and change of scenery will do wonders for your body and mind. Just thirty minutes of walking every day can increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat and boost muscle power and endurance. The best part is … it’s free !
It’s a great chance to try something new!
3Get the whole family involved Exercise is often more fun when you do it with others, so if you can get everyone in your house involved you may be able to stay motivated for longer. Go for a family bike ride or walk around the block. For those of you that are more competitive, start a family fitness challenge and encourage each other to keep moving!

TIPS FOR LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF
Whether you are working from home, not currently able to work, or at home with little ones trying to home school, the chances are that things can be a bit of a challenge. The situation may not be ideal and may even be causing a bit of stress or tension. Ensure you are looking after yourself and taking some time out to reset and recharge. It’s also important not to feel alone, so reach out to friends and family when you need some support, so we can all be in this together. 1 Make sure you schedule some time in the day to do something you enjoy. Whether it be reading a book, watching your favourite movie, knitting or crafting, make sure you find the time. It’s important to have little things to look forward to and relax from
other essential tasks that may not be as enjoyable. 2 Phone a friend. It’s so important to stay connected and feel that you are not alone. Reaching out to friends and family is vital to your well-being. We might not be able to grab a coffee with our bestie or go for drinks after work with our friends, but there are lots of ways of staying in touch. Apps such as ZOOM, Whatsapp and Facetime give you an opportunity to speak face-to-face. It may not be the real deal, but sharing your feelings or just having a good laugh can warm the soul. 3 Book in some activities. Normally have book club once a month? Book it in with a group video chat. Not in a book club? Great time to start one. Missing your monthly facial, manicure or pedicure? Schedule it in and do one at home. There are some great online tutorials where you can pick up some great tips! 4 Eat well! As tempting as it may be to reach for that packet of crisps, bar of chocolate or ice-cream, try to resist as much as you can. To make things a little easier, fill your cupboards with as many healthy snacks as possible to limit the temptation and provide some good alternatives to snacking. Nuts, fruits, healthy dips and cut-up vegetable sticks are great to have on hand for when hunger (or boredom) strikes.
Most of all STAY SAFE – STAY HOME – and help us all PROTECT THE NHS.
