I’m flat chat ATM finishing the year off with my amazing and inspiring Royale Fitness girls and also planning a new Wellness venture (stay tuned!) so a) writers block has well and truely kicked in and b) I’m just not finding the hours in the day to get a post out to you – I can’t believe I missed a week last week!!
When writers block kicks in I love reading through all my old work – I wanted to share this short one with you all again because I think it’s not only super important but relevant to well, everything!!
Enjoy, I promise to get back into my old nagging self ASAP ๐

A friend of mine was explaining to me this equation she uses when she buys new clothes, it is
“value divided by amount of wears”โฆ.
For example if you buy a cheap $40 pair of cotton on jeans that you wear once then wash and they shrink and you never wear it again its value is $40 per wear (40/1=40).
If you buy a pair of Bardot jeans at $200 and wear them over 50 times thatโs $4 per wear (200/50=4).
Although the Bardot jeans are more expensive up front you get more wear out of them and they work out to be cheaper over all as you donโt need to go out and buy a new pair.
This simple mathematical equation got me thinking; it cannot only be put towards clothes it can be put to ANYTHING including your health.
Lets take this example:
You pay casually to use a gym for $5, you use the gym twice a week, walk on the treadmill for one hour and maybe take a couple selfies. (Guilty!)
You pay a membership at an exclusive training facility at $45 per week where youโre not only entering specifically programmed training sessions 4 -5 times a week to reach your goals you are acquiring knowledge, skills, motivation and support from the trainers and people around you.
So although the casually gym session is cheaper is it getting you any closer to where you want to be or are you just wasting money?
Clothes, health, holidays, food, and beautyโฆ you name it this simple principle bloody works!
Apply the VAULE DIVIDED BY USE principle into your life and see where you are investing and where you are wasting time &/or money!
