Sometimes it can be hard to know if you are doing the right things you need to do to shift those stubborn pounds.

These tips can help you reach your weight-loss goal healthily.

1. Don’t skip meals
Skipping meals will mess with your metabolism. Think about nutritious foods you can give your body rather than taking them away.

2. Drink more water
Ensure you get your 8-10 glasses of water a day to clear your body, mind and skin.

3. Exercise
Working out is essential for maximising weight-loss as well as toning and shaping the body. Try to get 30 mins a day.

4. No alcohol
You may not want to hear it, but if you want to lose weight, alcohol needs to be avoided.

5. Plan ahead
You will eat healthier if you have prepared food beforehand and know what you are having for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is when you haven’t planned ahead that the junk food looks more appealing.

6. Get moving
Skip the lift and take the stairs. Walk to work instead of driving – there are lots of things you can do to get that body moving more!

7. Reduce portions
Rather than pile the food onto a dinner plate, choose a smaller plate and if you are hungry then go back for more rather than struggling to finish a piled plate of food.

These handy tips will make your time in the kitchen a breeze!

1. To freshen up wilted veg add it to some ice cold water. It will revive it in no time!

2. Mix up your spices. Instead of adding vanilla and cinnamon to everything, why not experiment with other sweet spices such as ginger or nutmeg?

3. If your butter is colder than it needs to be and you don’t have time to wait, grate it!

4. Always add some carmelization to your red meat when browning. It adds a depth of flavour when the dish is finished.

5. To avoid a soggy bottom on your tarts, pies and quiches ALWAYS blind bake first. This will help your pastry stay firm and crisp no matter the filling.

Before going on holidays, many ladies up their fitness levels and ditch the bad foods to get the beach body. Unfortunately, all their hard work goes out the window when they arrive at their destination; however, with a little bit of motivation you can maintain a healthy you.

Exercise each morning
True, the last thing you want to be doing on holidays is a bit of exercise, but there is no better way to start your day than a quick run or ten minute workout.

Explore on foot
Ditch the taxis and public transport and instead opt to explore the city on foot. Not only will it keep you trim and healthy you will also get to see a lot more of the area than you would behind a car.

Stay hydrated
Staying hydrated is the key to a healthy lifestyle and even more so when you are in a warm country and sweating a lot more than usual.

Stick with your fruit
Ditch the fry each morning and instead go for a bowl of fruit to start the day with.

Staying fit and healthy on holidays doesn’t mean you miss out or sacrifice fun, it just means you won’t come back with that bit of extra holiday weight.

Have that all important job interview coming up? Here are some great tips to ensure that it goes well:

  • Even though nerves can often get the best of us, make sure you stay on topic and answer the questions asked.
  • Maintain eye contact – it may feel a little strange, but it shows that you are focused as well as confident.
  • Don’t let your nerves take complete hold of you. Instead of thinking of the interview as a whole or zooming in on the interviewer’s reactions to your answers, just focus on each question asked and the time will fly.
  • Interviewers will often ask if you have any questions towards the end of your interview. Even though many of us prefer to say no, so we can get out of the interview as soon as possible, it is a good opportunity to show that you’ve researched the company and the role.
  • Most importantly, make sure that you are dressed appropriately for an interview. An interview only allows you a limited amount of time to make a great impression and the right outfit can show how serious you are about this position.

With the summer just around the corner, hay fever suffers are already bracing themselves for itching eyes and sneezing.

However, sticking to these top tips will help you to handle your hay fever with no problem at all.

  • Wash your hair and change your clothes before going into your bedroom. This will help prevent you sleeping on pollen.
  • Smear a little nasal balm along your nose to stop pollen getting in and invest in a pair of wraparound sunglasses
  • Don’t hang your washing out at dawn or dusk as this is when the pollen counts are at their highest.
  • Pollen is carried in diesel fumes so city dwellers are equally pone to it.
  • Combine an antihistamine with a spray. The spray has an anti-inflammatory effect while the antihistamine blocks the chemical histamine.
  • If all else fails or you find the tablets are not working, acupuncture could be your answer.

Get those tissues ready as summer is on its way.

It’s time to pull out that lonely container of baking soda from the back of your cupboard and put it to some good use.

Unclog your sink
Got a clogged sink? No problem. Pour your baking soda down the drain and leave to sit for about an hour before pouring boiled vinegar on top.

Freshen up stinky carpets
Sprinkle a little baking soda over your carpets and leave to sit for about a half an hour. Vacuum it up and voila, a nice smelling room.

Brighten your whites
Add a cup of baking soda into your next wash for bright, fresh smelling clothes.

Clean your grout (the bit between your tiles)
Cleaning your grout can be impossible but not when you have the aid of a little baking soda. Rub a little onto it, spray with water and leave to sit for ten minutes. Scrub away with a toothbrush… an old toothbrush.

Sunshine is the best way to get Vitamin D but unfortunately the sun rarely shines on our lovely green isle.

However, while the sun plays hide and seek with us, there are plenty of other ways to stock up on this essential vitamin.

Eat fish
Stock your cupboards with tins of salmon and tuna. You don’t have to eat them every day but try to have a fish dinner maybe once or twice a week

Have a few mushrooms
Portobello and shiitake mushrooms are a great source of vitamin D and are really nice in a stew or risotto.

Cod liver oil
It’s true – things that are good for you are normally not particularly nice. However, use this sparingly as it contains high levels of vitamin A that is not good for you.

Have cereal for your breakfast
Most cereals are fortified with vitamins, including vitamin D, and you can even increase your intake by using a milk that is fortified with it too.

A side bun is a great, low-maintenance hairstyle you can use for the next family wedding.

Many women think they need a hairdresser for a chic up-do, but you can quite easily recreate this style at home.

Grab yourself a hair doughnut and follow these simple tips:

  1. Make sure your hair is completely knot free by giving it a good brush.
  2. If you have flat hair, spritz some dry shampoo to the roots to give it added volume.
  3. Pull you hair over the side that you want your bun on.
  4. Tie the hair into a pony.
  5. Feed the entire ponytail through the doughnut and roll the hair around the piece until it is in a bun shape. It’s going to look slightly messy, but don’t worry.
  6. Secure the bun with a thin band, bobby pins and hair spray.

Have a go and see just how simple it is.
