If you want to make sure you’re as healthy as you possibly can be, then you need to make sure you’re doing things for your healthy every day. Health isn’t something you should take care of sporadically, when you can be bothered or when you remember.

Trialling the Exante Diet & Toning Up Those Arms
So I’ve been trying to diet for like a month now, and I’ve been failing. It just seems to be everyone’s birthday or everyone suggests take away or I just want to eat my weight in chocolate. It’s like I’ve lost all my willpower despite knowing i’m off on holiday in 2 months and last time around I hated every single photo of myself. Well, I hated my arms. They just look huge in comparison to my body. Although I have bought dresses that cover my arms for this trip, I still want to loose a bit of weight and I have decided to do a bit of toning up..…

Recipe No.23 Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies

I decided to take a small break from my posts about Paris and share a dish I made last week when I was craving everything French (I also bought French brie & croissants!) Although I never ate it in Paris, I saw it many times on the menu in various restaurants so with the weather turning so cold, I thought I’d give it a go. I have in the past only ate in in restaurants in the UK and the recipe I adapted to suit me was one from a cook book by a British person, it was the Lisa Faulkner cookbook again, Recipes from my Mother for my Daughter,…

Recipe No.18 Homemade Katsu Chicken
The day I go for my big grocery shop always guarantees that I’ll feel more like experimenting in the kitchen. Last night of course was no exception. This is mainly because I make a list of new recipes to try and what ingredients I need to buy to make them. Topping my list for meals to make was Chicken Katsu. It’s been a while since I had my first and only chicken Katsu at Wagamamas back in May and there is the odd day when I crave it but with the nearest restaurant being well over an hour a way it’s not somewhere I can just pop to for lunch!…
