The Emma Guns Show

I hope I’m not alone in being the kind of person who buys things in the hope their purchase will be enough to make me fitter, brighter or more organised. 

I have a tendency to buy sports equipment for at-home gym sessions that then go on to gather dust in the corner, but I’ve also bought expensive notebooks, elaborate filing systems or apps that promise a more organise life that go un-used.

For this habit I’m going to put my last batch of sports kit to good use by creating an 8-minute tabata. Eight minutes is nothing, when you really think about it, and with the kit right there, you know, at the end of the sofa, it should be easy to incorporate into my day. Only one way to find out…

Here's another habit that was requested in the Facebook group for the show - not wearing makeup for a fortnight. I have to be honest, this feels weird, not just because I wear makeup every day, but because makeup and beauty are what I do for a living in my role as a beauty journalist. My instagram feed is full of the makeup I'm using, the products I think are worth spending your hard-earned money on and all the lovely new products that are about to launch. To take a step back feels like missing out a crucial part of my day and also like bypassing a vital part of my daily self-care. How will I get on..?

We talk about where anxiety begins, how to turn it into a positive and when it can spiral into depression, but how humour can play a vital role in taking control of your mental health.

In the second part of my conversation with Jo Fairley (@jofairley) we discuss how she created The Perfume Society, why tingles down her spine tell her she's had a 'eureka' moment and why cultivating resilience is so vital.

There's a slew of evidence out there to show that not only is sugar bad for us, but it's also addictive. The fact it tastes the delicious and serves as the flavour cornerstone of most of the food we eat makes it hard to avoid, even with the best of intentions, but when Ian Marber was on this podcast he said that if you want to stop eating sugar, it's really simple - you stop eating sugar.

With that in mind, I'm going to look away from all the scary statistics out there there essentially show how sugar is rotting my mind, body and spirit from the inside-out and just concentrate on not putting it in my mouth. Added sugar can take a hike, these next two weeks are going to be all about steering clear of all refined sugars and carbohydrates.

The Daily Recommended Allowance (RDA) for sugar in the UK is 30g, which is roughly equivalent to seven sugar cubes.
