How To Stay Connected When Your Friends Are Far Away
Have you got a best friend that, due to circumstances out of your control, lives far away from you? Maybe you're in different cities, states, or maybe there's an ocean separating you? Whatever the case, we know you love and miss your bestie, and we know it can be hard to maintain those relationships when you don't get to see someone face to face as often as you'd like.  Is it 'out of sight, out of mind', or 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'? In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how to maintain those special friendships even when you're not in the same postcode.  And a quick shout out to team Quicky's long distance besties, Sharna and Anna.  Click here to take the latest Mamamia survey and you’ll go in the running to win one of five $100 gift vouchers Want to try our new exercise app?

How Tired Is Normal?
If you ask any of your friends, family or colleagues how they are on any given day, chances are a number of them will respond with 'tired'.  We get it. Between work, families, keeping up a household, thinking of the menu for the week, exercising, self care and everything else you've got going on...it's no wonder we're all tired. But just how tired is normal? At what point does it tip into chronic fatigue territory?  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak with a medical professional to see if our tiredness is normal, and what can be done about it.  Click here to take the latest Mamamia survey and you’ll go in the running to win one of five $100 gift vouchers Want to try our new exercise app?
