gift. This could be anything from a weekend retreat at a spa where she can have massages, pedicures, and uninterrupted sleep, to frontrow tickets for a performance she’s dying to see. Pooling resources means that no individual breaks the bank to make mum happy, but she’ll get to experience something gorgeous and remember all of you for having made that possible.

Treat Mum like a Queen this Mother’s Day 3 Simple tips to help you spoil your mum as much as she deserves!

1.

Take On Her Work Without Being Asked Chances are that unless you’re a mother, you really don’t know just how much your mum does on a daily basis. This Mother’s Day, consider being really aware of the goings-on in your mum’s home and take the initiative to take care of things that ordinarily fall on her plate. Do the washing up, take care of the hoovering, maybe even put a wash on. 2. Give Her Your Time Time flies really quickly, and we often don’t get around to doing what we’d like for/with those we care about. Let your mum know that you’d like to spend Mother’s Day with her, doing something that she’d love to do, and then make it happen, even if it’s just a pub lunch, she’ll love it. 3. Team Up for Lavish Pampering If you feel like splurging a little and would like to do something spectacular for your mum this year, consider teaming up with other family members for a more extravagant

When deciding what to do for your mother this year, remember that some of the greatest gifts have nothing to do with “stuff”, but instead consist of experiences that bring lasting memories. My best tip though is be prepared! Don’t leave it till the last minute to book a restaurant or order some of your mum’s favourite flowers. I hope you all spoil your mums rotten or get spoilt your self!

just one or two prime locations that you’ll never miss. Better yet, pick places where you spend a lot of time and can use the equipment, like by the TV.

2.

Turn your commute into a workout. You can cycle to work our run home from work. Both are fantastic workouts and can make your daily commute into a useful workout. Some working days its hard to carve out enough time for a run but this will make it much more efficient!

Get motivated, to get fit this year! We need to stop putting off getting fit. We need to start and not stop till we feel healthy. Here are some tips to keep yourself motivated this year to get fit this year!

1.

Don’t put away your gear. Leave your workout clothes and trainers by the bed. Have some dumbbells or an exercise ball strategically placed through-out your home, so there are no excuses and exercise is always on the brain. Visual cues are a wake-up call to your brain. We all have competing priorities like work, family, housework. Sometimes we need a reminder to keep exercise at the forefront. If you don’t have the space to display your gear (or if it’ll mess with your decor), choose

If you drive to work then it might be worth asking a colleague for a lift to work and pack your stuff into a rucksack for your run home.

3.

Log your workouts online. It’s surprising how much a simple facebook can push you to go another half mile or a minute quicker, and what’s even more surprising is the amount of support you can get from your impressed friends and family. Post your minutes, your miles, or whatever motivates you the most.

4.

Sign up for a fitness event. This way you are working towards something more than just a beach body or to get into that little black dress. Nobody who has signed up for a 5k run wants to walk 4k! Last year I signed upto a Nuclear Race just after my summer holiday and I think it was the first time I ever went for a run after I got back from the beach!
