Train SuperNatural

Last weekend I took part in the FREE!!! Nike 'Train Super Natural' event at Westfield London. Nike master trainers took to the stage to instruct hundreds of ladies! It was an intensive workout including cardio, core and strength drills, I even had to get on stage at one point and hold a squat position with trainer Sonja Moses which was quite scary seeing as i wanted to fall over!


I've been training with Nike Training Club for a couple of months now and already feel the difference, it's important my fitness levels are up for festival season as jumping around on stage like a crazy lady for 45 mins doesn't sound good when you're out of breath!!

Everyone received a 'Train SuperNatural' T-shirt (which I didn't, I'm quite upset about that) and some lucky exercisers got some free Trainers too :)

Here's a vid showing you what went down:



The lovely DJ Neev from KISS FM was DJing too, I also did an interview with her:



My mates and my mum even came down! and i went to Rinse at Fabric straight after and partied til 7am in the morning!! It really energised me. To celebrate I had 2 roast dinners that weekend and a Big Malteaser Bunny egg! (You can't say I didn't deserve it!!).
You can get the FREE Nike Training Club app from The App Store, get your mates down the park and give the drills a go, i've had fun doing them!

Zinc's 'Goin In' Video Riot

A few weeks a go i had the pleasure of being a cameo on the set of Zinc's 'Goin In' video shoot. It was shot in a (fake) supermarket which we didn't even name (I'm quite disappointed about this). I was a lady on the check-out so keep an eye out for me. All in all it was one of the funnest video shoots I've ever been involved with, especially getting to watch people trashing up a supermarket!

I was an unofficial photographer of the day...

Julie (Rinse Fm Drive w/Julie presenter) having fun eating yoghurt....


Roska (The Security guard) and Soulja...


Lovely Hair lady Jules and I promoting world peace!!...


My partner in crime on the tills Gigi (who's featuring on the next Zinc single)


 Roska, Shox and Jamie George loitering around...


Is it just me or does Skilliam look like he's a cardboard cutout here...


Gigi teaching Julie the classic heel, toe, moonwalkish slide dance move...


Maliki the amazing B-Boy!!! Look out for this guy!! Super talented! ....


At this point of the evening, the fire alarm went off and wouldn't stop, so Julie and Mark decided to created some interesting protective ear wear...

Then Julie started dancing to the beat of the fire alarm but then came to realise it was a bit offbeat, this is the point where she decided to use a metronome app to see if it really was irregular or if her dance moves weren't on point... she came to the conclusion that they were (oh the things you do, whilst bored on a video shoot)...


 This is the security man sleeping through the fire alarm!


Julie's toast of triumph when the alarm stopped!...


Me doing a gangster pose showing off my gangster nails courtesy of the legendary Wah Nails...


 The aftermath of the Rinse family, States of Emotion and the actors trashing the supermarket...

The End....

Sisters Are Doinggg it For themmmselvesssss #EqualsLive2012

Equals Live was definitely a highlight of my career, singing 'Sister, Are Doing It For Themselves' on stage with Annie Lennox!!! Emeli Sande!!! and Jess Mills!! was such an amazing experience.


Annie was an inspiring compere! and Emeli and Jess played inspiring sets as well!

It was a completely different gig to what I'm used to, everyone was seated!!! (eeeeek) So I did an acoustic version of 'Go Away', if you didn't catch it at Equals Live I'll be performing it on 'Womens Hour' on Radio 4 soon! I'll keep you posted.


I asked my followers on twitter when will we know #WeAreEquals and i got an amazing response, some funny;

Some interesting;


and Annie even read some out on stage! so thank you so much for your participation! :D



Here are some statistics that opened my eyes this International Womens Day:

-In 2011 we still live in a world where women perform 66% of the world’s work, produce 50% of the world’s food, earn 10% of world’s income and own 1% of the world’s property.

-In the UK 2 women die per week from domestic violence (mostly from current or former partners)

-1 in 4 women will also experience sexual harassment or rape of some kind in their lifetime.

-Women get paid on average one third less than men to do the same jobs

-a recent poll of young teenage girls in the daily mail showed that the huge majority of girls would rather have big boobs than a high IQ.

-In the UK, it’s easy to feel as if the fight for equality has been won, but at the current rate of progress, it will take 200 years to achieve an equal number of women in UK parliament, and 73 years to achieve equal numbers on FTSE 100 boards.




I've learned so much this last week and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to perform for such a purpose.
