OUR LATEST NEWS AND THOUGHTS

I’ve worked in dentistry for 19 years this year.  This in itself will never fail to amuse me, because I still consider myself to be one of the ‘young ones’.  However, as I reflect on my time supporting the dental industry, never before have I seen such a reliance on – and the importance of – PR.…

I’ve now done two weeks sugar free. And I need to be honest about two things. Firstly, I’ve cheated. Secondly, I’m struggling. There we go – now that’s out can I eat something sweet please? Well it’s not like I’ve eaten a bar of chocolate or an ice cream but last week I did crave…

When Gemma and I embarked on this sugar-free adventure, little did we know we’d actually be coming at this from very different directions. Whilst Gemma was a social butterfly, hung out with Peppa Pig and successfully avoided ice cream and cake, I stayed at home for the best part of a fortnight with a pretty…

Right, I won’t lie, this giving up sugar is hard. Giving up sugar when the sun comes out and everyone is eating ice creams and lollies is even harder. And giving up sugar the same week your youngest son turns two years old and everyone is eating chocolate cake and cupcakes is just about the…

Sometimes, as part of your job, you don’t know what’s around the corner. Certainly, last week I hadn’t anticipated Gemma’s invitation to join her on a sugar-free 8-week challenge, but I love the idea. Perhaps not as much as I love sugar…. …but as someone very recently diagnosed with a mind-boggling number of skin allergies, and…

New choices. Three weeks ago today, I quit alcohol. I’m not quite sure yet if it’s for good or just to give my body an extended rest but either way I am super proud of myself so far and have intentions to continue for a little while yet. My decision to remove alcohol from my…
