Running in your union elections is one of the best, more rewarding things you can do, but boy is it hard work! I ran for VP of my union and I got it (yay!), but I’m by no means an expert, these are just a few things I’ve picked up along the way! I’ve compiled my top tips, for running the best election campaign – of course it’s super important to be aware of your own union’s rules whilst the reading this! These were just things that worked for me, there’s no guarantee, but they are some things I wish I’d known when I ran.

It suggests that our full time job is being a couple – which is weird and a little creepy. ‘Power Couple’ sounds much better, but you don’t want to be the losers who give that title to themselves…
Fit Girl’s Guide: Week One…
So how has my first week as a Fit Girl gone? Not well at all!

Fit Girl’s Guide – 28 Day Jumpstart!
Never before have I been so excited to start a health journey, than the Fit Girl’s Guide – 28 day Jumpstart. I say ‘health journey’ rather than ‘diet’ because that just doesn’t seem to do it justice!
