I don’t feel like posting today.

But apparently consistency is important, the algorithm needs feeding and disappearing off Instagram because I can’t think of anything interesting to say is not the plan. 😂

So here you go…

Some pictures of me smiling. 😁

No wellness wisdom.
No life-changing revelation.
No carefully constructed message.

Just me, smiling, turning up and ticking the “posted something today” box. ✔️

Some days that is quite enough.

A little morning grounding 🌿 Bare feet, fresh air and a few minutes to reconnect before the day gets properly underway.

Why do I keep coming back to it?

🌱 Grounding • that lovely feeling of being connected to the earth and back in your body.

🌿 Nature • gets me away from screens, noise and the never-ending to-do list.

⚡️ Energy • a few minutes outside can leave me feeling refreshed, awake and ready to get moving.

🤍 Calm • slowing down, breathing and simply being outside helps shift me into a much more peaceful gear.

Nothing complicated. No equipment. Just shoes off, phone down and feet on the earth.

One of my favourite little hits of happiness 💚

Pulsetto people… where are you? 👀

Who else is using a Pulsetto vagus nerve device and, more importantly, what are you actually finding from it?

When I first got mine, it became part of my morning routine. Coffee in hand, shoes off, grounding in the garden and Pulsetto on. ☕️🌿

More recently I’ve naturally shifted towards using it at bedtime while I read, which actually feels like a lovely little signal to my body that we’re winding things down for the day.

But I’m really interested in everyone else’s N of 1 experience.

When do you use yours? Morning or night? Which programme do you use most? Are you using it for sleep, stress, relaxation, recovery or just generally trying to give your nervous system a little TLC?

And the big one… have you genuinely noticed a difference?

I don’t want the marketing claims, I want the real-life Pulsetto chat! Good, bad, brilliant or completely underwhelmed 😂

And… I am DONE. 😂🙌

Hair washed and currently drying naturally into what can only be described as a frizz bomb 💥 Bare face. Sofa. Comfies firmly ON.

Today I finished an event I absolutely loved ❤️ while the brilliant Fig & Fromage crew somehow managed TWO pop-ups in ONE day alongside everything else. Quite the Saturday!

So tonight I am feeling very thankful, very tired and very happy to be exactly where I am… on the sofa, embracing the frizz and watching The Devil Wears Prada 2 for the first time 🍿

And perhaps the biggest plot twist of all…

Tomorrow I am having an ACTUAL DAY OFF.

No radios. No stalls. No logistics. No “quick questions”. No being responsible for where anyone needs to be 😂

Just me, coffee, probably the garden and absolutely nowhere I have to be.

Little hits of happiness indeed ❤️

🌿 When did you last actually lie down in the grass?

Not sit on it. Not walk barefoot across it. Actually lie down, close your eyes and just… be there.

I did exactly that today and immediately felt like my inner child had appeared. 💚

The feel of the grass beneath me.
The smell of the earth.
The sounds you only seem to notice when you stop moving.
That feeling of being completely surrounded by green.

It took me straight back to being a child, when lying on the grass staring at the sky was just something we did. No phone. No agenda. No need to make it productive.

There’s something rather lovely about finding those tiny moments again as an adult.

So here’s your little hit of happiness for today…

Find yourself a safe patch of green, lie down, close your eyes and stay there for a few minutes.

I bet you’ll know exactly what I mean. 🌿💚

My eyes are officially screaming ENOUGH SCREEN TIME 👀💻

The last few days have been very laptop, phone, laptop, phone, repeat… and tonight I can absolutely feel it.

So this evening’s little hit of happiness is going to involve my eye patches firmly in place, followed by the rather delightful NIOD copper peptide I’ve just started using around my eyes. ✨

And yes, the eye patches will almost certainly be making another appearance tomorrow morning too!

Sometimes wellness isn’t another big routine or complicated biohack. Sometimes it’s simply noticing what your body is telling you and giving it a little bit of TLC.

Although perhaps the actual biohack here would be putting the bloody laptop down… 😂

48. Perimenopausal. Running businesses. Travelling all over the place. Carrying approximately 47 supplements at any given moment and increasingly likely to take my shoes off and stand on the grass. 😂

Coffee in hand, cosy cardigan on and straight out into the garden. ☕🌿

One of the simplest habits I’ve built into my mornings is grounding. No fancy equipment, no expensive membership. Just bare feet on the grass, a few quiet moments and a chance to slow down before the day gathers pace.

Whether the science is still evolving or not, I know my own “N of 1”. I feel calmer, more present and more connected after just a few minutes outside. It has become one of those tiny daily habits that helps set the tone for everything that follows.

I’ve also been really enjoying the wellness content from Liz Earle recently. She’s a passionate advocate for getting outside, reconnecting with nature and making grounding part of everyday wellbeing. Her podcast on the subject is well worth a listen and has some fascinating insights into why so many people find it beneficial.

If you’re curious and would like somewhere to start…

Sometimes the biggest changes come from the smallest daily habits.

Not everyone gets excited about a coffee… but this one is doing a lot more than just waking me up. ☕🧠

My morning coffee is a bit of a ritual and, yes, I always take a cheeky extra swig before I head out the door. 😄

What’s in mine?

🥥 C8 MCT oil
🧈 Grass fed butter
🤍 Grass fed collagen peptides
☕ Fresh coffee

Why?

The star of the show for me is the C8 MCT oil. Unlike most fats, C8 is rapidly converted by your liver into ketones, which can be used as an alternative fuel source for your brain. I find it gives me smooth, sustained mental energy without the crash that can come from relying on sugar.

The grass fed butter adds healthy fats that help make the coffee satisfying and keeps me feeling fuller for longer.

The collagen is there because, whilst it’s not a complete protein, it’s a simple way to support healthy skin, joints and connective tissue. As someone in perimenopause, I’m always looking for small daily habits that support me in the background.

I’ve been making my coffee this way for well over six years now, so for me this definitely isn’t a fad. It’s one of those habits that has stood the test of time. We all have our own “N of 1” experiment, and this one consistently works for me. Better focus, more stable energy and one small ritual that sets me up for the day.

This isn’t about replacing breakfast or saying everyone should drink bulletproof coffee. It’s simply one of the little habits that works brilliantly for me, especially on busy mornings when I need clear thinking and steady energy.

And yes… there will always be that one extra cheeky swig before I put the lid on. 😉
