Old me vs New Me 🎉🎊
I don’t understand how took me so long to try Juniper, but it is never too late. And if I can say something it has been the best decision I made to try Juniper. Weight loss medication + full support has been the best thing I did. I lost 23kgs and I feel incredible.
Wearing clothes that I definitely would NOT do before. I feel more active, energetic, I do feel incredible. Whenever someone asks me if it is worth?! I always say, it is the best decision you will make it. It is about confidence, about mindset and most important feeling good with ourselves after so many weight shifts struggles in the past.

Have questions about Juniper? Comment or DM me.

I takes time…

My weight loss didn’t happened in a second, as I always say it has been a journey. And what an incredible journey.
It started in August 24, after going back to work from maternity leave (9 months postpartum), and it is still ongoing.
I lost 22kg (sometimes you can say even 23kg) in 16 months.
I have been in maintenance since July and day by day I am just learning to live with my new weight and my NEW confidence!
It has been incredible this whole process, but it took time. It can take time, you just need to believe in the process, and in the outcome.
Juniper has been definitely a life changing and an incredible support on this whole process.
Medicated weight loss it is not a miracle, it is a process, and having a full team behind you to guide on the journey it makes everything easier.

Want to join a program that will change your life the way you will feel incredible.

💗 **World Menopause Day: let’s talk about the changes nobody prepares us for!**

Being in my 40s has made me more aware of my body and the changes I’m experiencing. Lately, I’ve noticed more gas and changes in my digestion, which has made me curious about the connection between gut health and hormonal changes.

Perimenopause is about so much more than hot flushes. It’s time we started talking openly about the symptoms, asking questions and learning how to support our bodies through this stage of life. 💕

I’m starting to explore **ProVen Biotics For Peri/Menopause** as part of that journey, and I’ll be sharing more along the way.

Because the more we talk, the less alone we feel. 🫶

💬 Have you noticed changes in your digestion or other unexpected symptoms in your 40s?

Grandpa bought him drums… 🥁😂 And just like that, peace was no longer an option!

My father was visiting us, and thought was a great idea to give his grandson a junior 🥁. LO has a baby drums and he has been enjoying playing it lately… but a Junior one 😩 OMG!!

Send help! 🤣💀

Check out at the end how amazing the LO did at his first trial.

We visited @garsonfarm_pyo Pumpkin Parade, just a 40-minute drive from us, and what a lovely family day out!

So many varieties of pumpkins (I’d never even seen a WHITE one before! 😱), cute photo spots, garden games and plenty of fun for little ones.

Our LO had a blast, and honestly, I think I enjoyed it just as much! 😂 My favourite part? Riding the wheelbarrow! 😅

We were also so lucky with the weather — perfect for family photos! ☀️📸

🎃 Highly recommend adding a pumpkin farm to your autumn bucket list!

Tickets cost £8 for a peak day. And we spent £13 buying pumpkins. 🎃 I can say I felt a bit stupid after going to @sainsburys and there were pumpkins 🎃 for £0.49. Well, there no way to go to the farm and not buying. Also, not the most expensive. Now I have some more Halloween decorations.

Have you visited one this autumn? 🍂🧡

When you realise that nothing is more important than that laugh, that little noise…

We haven’t had a beach holiday this year, and now that weather is getting colder I would love to scape to a beach somewhere.

The video is from November last year when we were in Koh Samui (Thailand)… could easily go back there.

We moved into a house with a garden… and honestly, we had no idea what we were doing! 😂🌿

We moved end of April, and we were so excited to finally have a little outdoor space for our family. 🏡🤍

But once summer came, the grass dried out and everything started growing like crazy. Before we knew it, our garden was completely overgrown!

We had to call the gardeners for a much-needed clear-out, and now it’s time for us to slowly make it our little family garden. 🌱
We even didn’t know we had a back door dor garden waste, as the Apple 🍎 🌴 was so big and it covered the whole back fence.

Our little one already LOVES the garden and wants to be involved in everything — so I have a feeling he’s going to be our smallest (and most enthusiastic) gardener. 🥹😂

This is just the beginning… let’s see what we can create together. 🌿🤍

Have any tips?👇👇

The garden series is slightly delayed… 😂🌿 but here’s a little sneak peek of what we discovered in our garden! 🍇

When we moved in, this was just a metal arch covered in leaves. We honestly had no idea what it was and then we realised we had a grape vine! 🍇😂

And look at it now — beautiful grapes, ready to eat straight from the vine. 😍

Now I just need to learn how to actually take care of it! From pruning and training to knowing when and how much to water… I clearly have some homework to do. 🌱

If you know about grape vines, please share your best tips with me! What’s the ONE thing I need to know to keep this beauty happy and producing grapes? 🍇👇

Consider this the beginning of my gardening era. 😂🌿

Have you heard of TDR? 👀

I hadn’t really come across it before, so I wanted to share my experience with the Adday products and how I’ve been incorporating them into my routine.

After more than 2 years on my weight-loss journey, I’m very much in a different phase now. I’m not looking for a quick fix or trying to completely change the way I eat. I’m focused on finding things that fit into my **real life** — especially on those busy days when I don’t have the time (or the energy!) to plan every meal.

I’ve been tracking my macros for a while, and I’ve found that some of the Adday products are really easy to incorporate into my day while still working with the macros I’m already tracking.

And there was one thing I genuinely didn’t expect… I actually like the powders!😂 If you know me, you know how much I usually dislike powdered drinks, so that was a surprise.

I’ve also found the full bundle useful for getting more fibre into my day, which is something I’ve been paying more attention to.

For me, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about finding small things that make looking after myself a little easier — one day at a time. 🤎

Have you heard of TDR before? And would you try it?
