Now I know it might sound like I’m stating the obvious, but I believe in Active Living, it’s the way I live my life no matter what time of year it is. Personally, my mornings are too important for me to spend my nights partying. But I do love to socialise, especially around the holiday season. I’m also realistic; I know this time of year is tricky; but can be amazingly guilt-free and fabulous — when done right. That’s why I have put together this guide. To give you fun solutions & ideas on how to approach the festive season, without losing your FIT or compromising your Move Nourish Believe way of life.

Are you ready to live your best season yet?
