3 tips
I’m always full of advice, I’m constantly reading this, reading that, chatting to trainers (or chatting up trainers!) I am an official health nut! This is part of the reason I started this blog, because I am so passionate about being healthy and more importantly looking my best. So here it goes, once a week I’ll dish out 3 tips that I think you could benefit from incorporating...
Raw Chocolate
When you first start paying attention to what you eat because of all the un-healthy stuff they put in the food, comes the biggest problem – the things you have to give up! Like chocolate… And then you start reading and searching and voila! It turns out you don’t have to give up on chocolate, the candy and the cakes… just eat them raw :)
1 cup raw cacao butter
2 table spoons coconut oil

Slim and Sniffly.
Okay, so I have been sick with the flu the past week. I felt so disgusting. I downed so much cough syrup I’m surprised someone didn’t find me swinging from the ceiling naked. Still I managed to do some Yoga every other day and go for a couple of gentle walk/jogs during the day when I was feeling alright. I’m heading back to the gym today going to do the strength routine I...

Baby Vegan.
I don’t like the word Veganism I think it makes being Vegan sound like a cult. If you’re new to being Vegan or thinking about making the switch, I have a few tips for you.
Why did you want to become Vegan? For ethical reasons? For health reasons? I became Vegan when I was recovering from eating disorders and I realized the only way I could eat and still be skinny would be if I cut out...

Decide for yourself.
Truly, we shouldn’t be eating tones of the stuff anyway, unless you generally want to be an unhealthy slob, I steer clear of the stuff to keep my bits inside my Calvin’s. But here it is, something I heard someone say about sugar not being Vegan, thus I investigated.

vegan pumpkin ice-cream.
I’m a HUGE Pumpkin lover. I love Pumpkin soup, scones, bread, muffins and now… Ice-Cream. In the Southern Hemisphere (where I reside) it’s coming up to Summer and being Vegan and an ice-cream addict. I’m constantly seraching for new and amazing recipes. You will need an ice-cream maker, which trust me, if you are a dedicated Vegan will be one of the best investments of...
