Regular readers will know that I’m constantly at Aldi, and I’m constantly on the hunt for new and exciting products to share on You Well.

Lockdown was a shock for many people, and it’s no wonder that alcohol consumption skyrocketed during this period. I know this too well myself – the first week of lockdown was basically a non-stop bender for me. I was drinking every day, and because I was stressed and on my own, I had no reason or desire to stay sober….

Aldi continues to impress me with how many high protein products they’re pumping out, seemingly on a weekly basis.

Or do you believe kooky YouTubers who eat nothing but meat, butter and eggs – and somehow have made…

It’s a fact; it often seems like a full-time job to keep healthy in 2026! Self-care often ends up last on the list while you juggle endless video calls, constant pings from your phone, and the usual chaos of life.

A classic. A UK household favourite that spans generations: sticky toffee pudding.  I can tell you – warm sticky toffee pudding with a generous helping of cold vanilla iced cream is the stuff of dreams.
