We often associate January with being the time of year for reflection for making new plans and resolving to do things better. But my point of reflection is during these Summer months. Summer is often when we have more time to reflect that after the hectic festive period and the bright and sunny days make everything seem more possible
So I hope you are enjoying this summer as much as I am and what a summer it has been! I hope you will find time for you, remember self-care is so important and we all need it.
And finally Good Luck to all of you receiving exam results this week and next. No matter whether you use your own prep materials or review the Studocu community lecture notes, taking an exam is always so thrilling.What an exciting time with new challenges on the horizon. If you have a rising star in the family why not show them some appreciation, our Summer snack gift box makes a lovely gift and if you have a loved one going off to University for the first time we have created a super Student Survival Pack full of essentials and a few goodies - limited edition, so grab yours now!
Love

Quite often in times of stress, worry or lethargy at work we can be left reaching for snacks. And whilst those snacks may give us a sugar rush and taste good in the moment, the likelihood is that they’re only a temporary high and soon we’ll come crashing down, back to where we started.
We will be celebrating Father’s Day later this month and it got me thinking about how men feel about veganism. I think there is a general preconception and very much outdated concept of meat being linked with masculinity. Meat eating it would seem is still seen very much as a part of a man’s identity. The Vegan Society's survey on this made interesting reading with 63 percent of people who identified as vegan being female, while only 37 percent were male. And this year for Veganuary just 14% of men took up the challenge, this was, however, a 4% rise on the previous year, so not all doom and gloom.
We are all aware of how challenging it may be to eat well while working. It takes too much willpower to resist the steady supply of sugary, trans-fat-filled healthy snacks for the office that are kept out on the breakroom table. If only the human brain was programmed to feel this way about fresh fruit and trail mix!
