Making the Switch to a Healthy Lifestyle*
When it comes to food, I’m lazy. I never used to be, I used to love cooking but since living on my own the thrill of that has gone and it’s too easy to eat at my mum’s house and when I don’t, it’s too easy to get quick food such as a takeaway or something to bung into the oven. But my clothes aren’t fitting anymore and I can’t afford new. It’s a sad situation and one only I can take action with to live a more healthy lifestyle. As I’m someone who can’t stick to a conventional diet, I’ve decided to make small changes that will hopefully help…

The Restored, Helping Me Improve My Health & Wellbeing*
Today I’m going to be talking about how plan to improve my health with The Restored. If you follow my personal Instagram, you’ll know i’ve been trying to lose weight for the last 3 weeks by changing and tracking my eating habits. This isn’t something I’ve decided on a whim and I’m still very body positive especially with LM, but I want to do this for me, so I can be positive about my own body. Last year I discovered I suffered from PCOS and it definitely lead me into a spiral of bad habits. I felt bad so I ate bad. I piled on the weight so my joints…

Why I’m Trying to Lose Weight & How I’m Doing It*
If you follow me over on Instagram you’ll know last week I started a diet. Over the years I’ve started many diets such as 5:2, Slimming World, but only one has stuck and that’s calorie counting, so that’s what I’m doing. I’ve had comments from family and friends telling me I’m beautiful and don’t need to do it, but I do. I really do need to loose weight. To put into perspective, when I was full term with LM I didn’t weigh as much as I currently do. I went into my pregnancy with an eating disorder (long long story) but knowing that carrying on how I did would harm…

Ideas to Get More Protein in Your Kid’s Diet*
Getting Little Miss to eat a balance diet has been one of the biggest challenges of being a parent. Everytime I think I’m doing well she turns her nose up at something else. She goes through phases of being happy to try new things and other times she won’t even eat what she’s been eating for months. I’m pretty sure my biggest challenge is not too far down the line, you see LM is an animal lover. A huge animal lover. And as I keep putting it, she’s one farm visit away from becoming a vegetarian. At the moment she doesn’t have any idea where meat comes from so every…

Simple Dish Ideas for Valentines Day*
On Valentines day, some people love nothing more than the idea of slaving away in the kitchen to create a slap up meal for the other half but some couples just don’t like to do that, the idea of wasting valuable time with their loved one by being in the kitchen just doesn’t appeal.

Here are a few of my suggestions; Antipasti Board I love Antipasti and it requires pretty much no work and tastes so good. And…
