World Diabetes Day
November 14th marks World Diabetes Day. Diabetes is something close to my heart, as I have Type 2 diabetes. It’s not something I’m super proud of. I could have prevented this if I wasn’t an idiot and ignored medical advice. But here we are several years later and I am managing it well! Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Take it from me, please don’t ignore or brush off medical advice, it typically doesn’t end well. Diabetes runs in my family, so there was a very high chance that I’d develop this anyway. But living an unhealthy lifestyle for several years did not help the situation. As cheesy as this sounds…

It’s Spooky Season – Happy Halloween!
I have really mixed emotions when it comes to Halloween. I’m not particularly fond of horror movies, especially the ones that have supernatural elements in them (like the exorcist 🤢). However, I don’t mind the gory stuff like Saw or The Purge. Though they’re scary in their own right! I could totally imagine scenarios where both of those stories could come true, yikes! The thing I love most of all though is the season. It’s deep into Autumn when Halloween strikes, and you know what that means right? Hot chocolate and marshmallows in front of the fire! Being all cosy in your Oodie, and setting the world to rights while…

Happy International Podcast Day!
Happy International Podcast Day! When we first launched our humble podcast in May 2022, we had a simple mission. That mission was to put a smile on your face! Since then our little podcast has been streamed and downloaded from all 6 continents and listened to by hundreds of people (almost 500 to be precise). While we may not be one of the biggest podcasts around (with thousands of listeners), we’ve never changed our goal. No matter how big or small our community may be, we can promise to always take you away from the doom and gloom of the everyday world, and distract you through the rough (and the…

World Chocolate Day
Happy world chocolate day! What’s your weapon of choice? For me, it’s good old classic Dairy Milk, and Dylan is partial to galaxy. We both absolutely love Lindt chocolate. If you don’t know what this is, have you been living under a rock? You NEED to try it if you haven’t already! Anyway, I thought that world choccy day deserved a blog post of its own. You know what goes well with a nice choccy? An episode of Happy Distraction, of course. Player not working? Try clicking here to be taken directly to the website podcast page.

It’s National Hamburger Day
If there is one thing that deserves its own blog post, it’s hamburgers! We absolutely love burgers, we’re pretty much obsessed at this stage. I know what you’re thinking, too much grease, too much fat, too unhealthy, blah blah blah. Let me tell you, they taste good! My go to is a meaty burger. With bacon, cheese and onions, and a bit of mayo, pickles and lettuce (but never tomato, eww). Kirsty’s go to is pretty much a plain Jane burger in a bun with some cheese and ketchup (booooring). Our absolute favourite burger place is Byron. Though sadly, there aren’t may of them around any more. Our nearest is…

Saint Patrick’s Day
March 17th marks Saint Patrick’s Day! If you don’t know what this is, it is a cultural/religious holiday that honours a bloke named St. Patrick (the patron saint of Ireland). Basically, he brought Christianity to Ireland in the 5th Century. According to legend, he used a shamrock (think 3 leaf clover) to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) to the Irish peeps. St. Paddies day is basically a celebration of his death, which is believed to have occurred on March 17th, 461 AD. Realistically, though, it’s just an excuse to have a good old knees-up, get pissed, drink copious amounts of alcohol and…
