When Jesus spoke about the pharisees, he said that they had received their reward, because it was seen of men. They were fasting with a sad countenance, instead of humbling themselves before the Lord. Serving God in secret is the way to be in this world, because even though the deeds may not been seen by others, it never goes unnoticed by God. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and whenCONTINUE READING…

Out of all of the exercise machines that I’ve purchased, I love the Nordic Track RX800 Rower, which is fold up and cost £499 on internet free monthly payments. It features 2o built in workouts – 10 watt training programmes, and 10 calorie training programmes, which certainly keep the heart rate up. I love high intensity interval training (HIIT), so I often use my tabata trainer app to complete 20 sets of 30 seconds rowingCONTINUE READING…

They contain cold pressed organic sesame seed oils, plus organic coconut oil, organic cacao butter, and organic castor oil. Although £4.99 might seem a bitCONTINUE READING…

I love cocoa, coffee, peanut butter cups, and roast potatoes cooked in plenty of goose fat. The usual chocolate subscriptions include Thorntons, Hotel Chocolate, and other luxury chocolate brands, but take a look at the great chocolate gift collections* at I Love Cocoa. These guys are ethical in how they source the chocolate that they sell. They work with suppliers who guarantee cocoa farmers a higher than average market place.

I’m not sure about you, but there’s this huge ploy to get us to reduce our plastic usage in the UK, and I see nothing getting done about plastic packaging on fruits and vegetables at the supermarkets. It’s surrounding carrots, turnips, cabbage, mushrooms, apples, sweaty bananas – you name it. What happened to good old brown paper bags? Why can’t supermarkets get rid of the plastic bags, that just cause our fruits and vegetables toCONTINUE READING…

In this day and age, the media has their ‘eye’ on almost every adult when it comes to the abuse of children. They suspect almost everyone of grooming or abusing kids. Even some parents are suspected or even questioned of abusing their kids, just because they use discipline. I was smacked on the bottom as a child for being naughty, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. I wasn’t abused and ICONTINUE READING…

The main liquid probiotics available at the supermarkets today include Actimel and Yakult, but are you aware that there are various strains of bacteria that can have a vast impact on health. There may only be one or two strains of bacteria in Yakult or Actimel, but BioLive liquid probiotics contains 14 live strains of bacteria. I pay only £12.50 per month for a subscription that I set up many months ago, so I thinkCONTINUE READING…

Football is loved all over the world, and yet I can’t understand the worship of it. It is a ball game, as is cricket, golf, snooker, basketball, rugby etc. This is not a case of my being covetous toward these players, as it’s just a job to these people, but sports like these are so unequal in terms of real life. The players get paid thousands of pounds per week, and yet most of usCONTINUE READING…

If you’re a Christian, have you ever come across condemning Christians who just frown or look down at you because you struggle with something that they would label a sin? Addiction is difficult. In all honesty, I don’t think anyone ever likes his or her addiction – I certainly don’t like mine. Dermatillomania  makes me feel guilty, shameful, suicidal, self-hating, rejected, overwhelmed, and very few Christians, except my partner, have any real understanding. I noCONTINUE READING…
