6 Habits That Helped Me Get Lean.

Drink More Water. Okay, let’s get the most obvious one out of the way. Every website you visit, every fitness fanatic you talk to says you have to drink more water. And you know why?

My thoughts on The McCann Documentary, Netflix.

When I watched the McCann documentary on its release day in two feverish sittings, I had wanted to talk about it immediately. The topic, however, made me momentarily refrain from publishing as soon as I’d finished. I wasn’t about to write a review of something that is tackling a real, ongoing and desperately heartbreaking issue. […]

That being said, I have watched a whole lot of movies and read a whole lot of books, and now I think it’s about time I started boring everybody else with the niggling thoughts in my head. Welcome and enjoy, The Writer’s Block.
