LARGE FRIES WITH YOUR BIG MAC MCMINDFULNESS BURGER?!
Who doesn't love a bit of junk food, huh? Whilst I eat a plant based diet, so give a wide berth to Big Mac's, I'm a sucker for a crisps, chocolate, chips and a Big Coke. That combination of salt and sugar slips down a treat. My taste buds tingle. My tummy feels full...

DOES YOUR CAREER LIGHT YOU UP?
Many of us have fallen into careers that we started because we ‘had to’ or what others thought were ‘best for us’ and really we didn’t have much excitement for it from the start. Others might be at the stage where the roaring flame and love for what you do has now...
