It’s exciting to be at the development stage again … in the next month we have 2 new group classes being launched through the business Origins Wellness Tenerife.
First a special blast Called Operation Verano… a 4 week fat blasting, muscle shaping boot camp group exercise session.
Also Baby Boot Camp for mums and babies to come together to have fun whilst getting fit and dropping fat.
I have been running my business Origins Wellness from Jazzy Salon over at Pearly Grey Callao Salvaje for just over 18 months now.
Yesterday I was duped and made a mistake on a web page which was a malicious page set up to directly attack timeshare accomodation and it’s staff, I thought it was a joke to poke back at people being negative about the services.. I was wrong!!
But it got me to thinking, people are always happy to shout about negatives but never the positives. So I decided to write about my experience of Pearly Grey..
I had purposely avoided working with holiday makers as I like to build relationships with my clients and really help them to recover from their, injuries, health issues rather than just giving a massage and never seeing them again.
When I started at Pearly Grey I had heard all the horror stories of timeshare, scratch cards, con artists etc etc. When I realised Pearly Grey was timeshare I thought oooh … ok.
However, after just a few weeks it started to be very, very obvious that Pearly Grey was nothing like all the stories you hear!! The staff and guests have great relationships, many of the owners come out several times a year and have been owners for 14, 18 and 20 + years!!!
Now to me that said something WAY different to the timeshare horror stories!! These people were happy with their investment!! They LOVE coming to Pearly Grey and many of them have family members that join, children and grandchildren that join…
I met a lovely lady last week who was 78 and has been an RCI Pearly Grey Member for over 22 years and has travelled the world exchanging her weeks and points for trips to various locations. She was an amazing intelligent lady and very happy with her investment!!
So I guess what I’m saying is that don’t judge all timeshare by the same cover!!
Pearly Grey is a happy, quality resort in a lovely location on the coast of Tenerife.
Sitting at nearly 33 weeks pregnant, I filmed a quick mobility video to give some ideas of how to keep yourself moving during pregnancy. I have 
continued my training throughout pregnancy, still lifting weights at the gym and doing interval training. (all be it a little lighter than usual) Dany would have chopped my legs off if I had continued leg pressing 200 kg 
Have a quick look at the video- Mobility in Pregnancy it’s suitable for all special populations or just to use as a nice mobility session a few times a week to keep the body moving or even just to get the body moving in the morning.
You could do one round of ten repetitions or use it as a circuit and repeat the whole sequence two or three times.
So even if you’re not in the pregnancy club, check it out and leave your feedback.
Mooncup....Safer, healthier, better periods!
Women all over the world suffer from menstrual related issues. Some just the time of their period, others the week before, others the week after and some, very unfortunate, for more or less the entire month!!
I say menstrual related issues bacuse this includes a whole host of things from cramps, headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, to thrush.
I have to say that for me it has varied over the years from severe mood swings to recurring thrush due to reactions to the products that we all use from the local chemists and supermarkets.
I discovered a wonderful product called the moooncup and I will admit that I procrastinated on buying my Mooncup for quite some months I had however switched to organic non bleached sanitary products which did help, but in the end I could take no more as the thrush was so bad and pretty much constant. So, I bought myMoonCup, invested in some specific supplements and made the switch…. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!
I no longer got cramps before or during my period, I no longer got irritations, or thrush! It was easy, comfortable and so much cheaper and more ecologically freindly.
My mood swings had been improved before I purchased the Moon Cup through my other forms of self help in nutrition and supplementation but there was further improvement after I started using the Mooncup, to the extent I can honestly say that I felt like the same woman all month.
The Mooncup web site has loads of information on benefits and info on the nasty stuff that we use in the form of tampons and towels every month. Go over and have a read to inform yourself more.. but honestly… Buy a Mooncup!!!! It will be one of the best things you can do for your health as a woman!!!
I love this – I hope you do to.
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.
‘I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.’
The old woman smiled, ‘Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?’
‘That’s because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.’
‘For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.’
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You’ve just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

So, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!
And send this to any or all of your Crack Pot friends within 5 minutes and see what happens! Don’t forget the Crack Pot that sent it to you!!

I receieved this little gem in my inbox from a good friend yesterday… I wanted to share it with you all, I think It’s fab!
The Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem, Almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee. Read the rest of this entry »
Something I used to have on the fridge!! Found it buried amongst some papers today… now re-printed and framed !! Motivational, Inspirational and just plain nice!
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to manifest the glory and wonder that is within us.
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give those around us permission to do the same.
Not getting enough items on your To-Do list checked off?
Do you feel guilty because you’re not doing enough? I’ll be the first one to admit that I don’t always remain calm, zen and un-phased when I don’t get everything done.
Sometimes I get distracted; sometimes unforeseen events happen which get in the way of my ambitions. Sometimes I have a hard time not caring about unimportant things. I want the dishes to be clean and the house spotless, all my errands to be finished and everything neat and tidy.
My 14 year old daughter has been writing away for years.
Shannon Kennedy - Freefall
When we arranged for her to have guitar lessons earlier this year with one of my clients, Phil who is a Musician with Crush, she turned her stories into songs….
They recorded her first song, written with her friend Frankii arranging chords, played and sung by her…. a few weeks ago..they are now on to song number 2… I thought I’d share it with you.
