Sian Toop – 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher
One thing I definitely learnt during lock down is; it’s OK not to be busy 100% of the day. September 2019 to March 2020 I juggled being a full time student and a full time yoga teacher, whilst dabbling in blogging, public speaking and program development. Not to mention attempting to add a social…
I was kindly gifted these amazing leaf wraps by BeeBee Wraps and I was so excited to try them out! I am usually rushing about between various places, university, teaching, work and 99.9% of the time have some sort of snack with me.

I have been so excited to share my review of BAM Bamboo Clothing with you all! I was approached by the brand a couple of weeks ago and asked if I wanted to write a product review of a top and a pair of leggings and of course my answer was YES! I was spoilt…
