Feeling FAF, What About You?

That’s fat-as-f*ck not fit-as-f*ck unfortunately but we have the answer to your problems….

What is it they say? “New Year New Me” (ugh)

Well we say “New Year, Same Me but just a bit better…maybe”

Not as catchy but much more realistic.

Having a brunch blog means trying to stay be holiday ready is very VERY hard, so when we were shown DoJo’s collection of…wait for it…wholesome brunches, well we sang Praise Lord Hallelujah as we felt we discovered how to not feel fucking obese every munching mouthful we take save a few calories and still brunch the shit out of January.

If you haven’t heard of DoJo, it’s a great app which basically lists loads of cool things to do, eat, see in certain cities. We would have it on our phones now but if we see that goddamn “Storage almost full” notification one more time we may set our mind on fire. They do however have a great function where you can see what you can do nearest to your location, love that.

Check out their list of wholesome brunches here.

Great right?
