Could Meditation be better than Sleep?
When all else fails…Meditate by Megan Faulkner I’m sure we have all had those nights before an important event, lying awake sleepless, thinking of things to do, to then check off in the morning.

Need some Calm in your Life?
Hi Gorgeous Things Fans, My name is Megan, and I am really excited about joining Lesley-Ann and the Gorgeous Things Team.

Diggin’ the Dancing Queen
“See that girl, watch that scene” – now that I’ve implanted Abba in your head, tell me, when was the last time you went dancing? Even it was the Nutbush at your cousin’s wedding last Spring, or your regular Step class at the gym - of course that still counts, but what I’m really getting at is [...]
