    Gym Beer – great idea or waste of money?

    Published by Finn Hayden I'm no stranger to weird products - just recently I published an article about the "protein fruit puree" I found in Lidl, which I'm still confused by. So when I spotted 'Gym Beer by Iguana' at my local Morrisons, I knew I'd have to write an article about it. I've been loving non-alcoholic beer recently, and I've been happily trying lots of different alcohol free beers to try and figure out which I like best. So I was definitely up for trying Gym Beer. But before I get into the taste, let's first of all address the obvious thing about this alcohol free beer - the…

    Zapply T1 – Is this ‘All in one” testosterone support legit? Or a waste of your time and money? Our full Review

    The UFC, like all major sports in America, is a huge marketing opportunity. It’s always been that way, but since the social media age, our tolerance for marketing waterboarding is being tested.  The most recent trending product is Zapply T1 – an “all-in-one” male health and testosterone support supplement. It appears to be heavily marketed to male audiences who like the UFC, and the product has some superstar endorsements from past legends, and they are partners of the Ricky Hatton Foundation.  Their marketing copy tells you all you need to know about what it is they are trying to sell us.  “Tired by 3pm. Flat in the gym. Losing your…

    The Slow Rise of the Home Barista in the Age of Remote Work

    Photo: unsplash.com, Fahmi Fakhrudin Published by Finn Hayden Why did the home barista become such a natural part of remote work culture? The answer has less to do with coffee trends and more to do with time. When work moved into the home, the home itself changed. It became an office, a meeting room, a place for deadlines and a space where people had to stay focused for hours without the natural breaks of a shared workplace.    The Shortcut to Better Coffee at Home    In the office, coffee used to have a clear role. It was a reason to stand up, walk to the kitchen, speak to a…

    Combining Wellness and Sports: The Ultimate Active City Break in Liverpool

    Published by Finn Hayden The New Wave of Experience-Led Travel For years, the traditional weekend break was often a passive affair, limited to hotel stays and quiet museum visits. Today, however, travelers are increasingly seeking active itineraries that engage both the body and mind.

Rather than completely switching off, engaging in stimulating activities creates lasting memories and resets the nervous system.

    Dying to be kind, but I wont be! | Gad Saad – Suicidal Empathy book review

    Gad Saad, like Jordan Peterson, has transformed from an out-and-out academic to somewhat of a cultural icon. Like Peterson, Saad sits in a strange space between a university library and a podcast studio: a university professor who has broken into the consciousness of normal people.  Saad’s more recent addition to his literary catalogue, Suicidal Empathy, follows a similar theme to his breakthrough smash-hit bestseller The Parasitic Mind. Saad’s wicked sense of humour, offbeat wisecracks, and satirical role-play make him one of the few authors who can make a civilizational existential crisis funny. Buy the book here So, to the rub – what is Suicidal Empathy about? If you’re on X/Twitter,…

    This might be the weirdest high protein product I’ve found in Lidl so far

    Published by Finn Hayden Regular readers know that I'm often scouring the shelves at my local supermarkets to find new high protein products, and over the years I've found some pretty interesting things. From high protein cheesecake to high protein pizzas, it seems that nothing is off limits when it comes to making it "high protein". But a recent high protein find at my local Lidl really left me a bit speechless. It's these high protein puree pouches: As my wife said to me - "what would you use it for?" It's a great question. I suggested it's the type of thing you could add to plain yoghurt or skyr…

    Beauty trip to Turkey: Noteworthy spas to visit

    Published by Finn Hayden Turkey has sunshine, ancient ruins, and spectacular food — but it’s also one of the best places on earth to plan a trip around pure, unapologetic pampering. Nowhere else quite mixes centuries-old hammams (traditional steam bathhouses) with gleaming hotel spas, thermal baths, and coastal wellness retreats.  A hammam is far more than somewhere to book a massage: it’s a ritual of heat, water, exfoliation, and cleansing that’s been part of Turkish life since the Ottoman era, when the empire ruled from 1299 to 1922 — and one that’s still going strong today. If you’re going to travel somewhere to be scrubbed, steamed, and restored to factory…
