Laser Eye Surgery Diary| Consultation

It is not uncommon nowadays for people to wear glasses. In fact you’d be fairly lucky if you didn’t need glasses in some shape or form – whether that be reading glasses or permanently. Obviously there are also many different solutions to not needing glasses; you can opt for contact lenses which can be a temporary fix, or look for something a bit more permanent, like laser eye surgery. To some, any type of surgery can be nerve wrecking, which is a given. But for many, surgery can be viewed as a path to freedom .

VitaCoco | The Benefits Of Coconut Oil

VitaCoco | The Benefits Of Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has been one of those tings that has slowly become ever more popular. But it’s also been an old staple of mine that I’ve used since childhood. I remember my mum being adamant that I used coconut oil on my hair every weekend when I was younger. Coconut oil, however, has so many benefits, that can prove to be beneficial to your health. It is so versatile to use, and easy to get hold of. I recently purchased this Vita Coco Coconut Oil tub from Amazon for £8.50 (!). How amazing is that price? Coconut oil is the new “it” ingredient to use for so many things, and there are many people who swear by the benefits. So if you’re thinking of heading to your local health shop, or putting through your order online, you can be sure to have several uses for coconut oil. So here it…

Slim Fast| 3-2-1 # Slimfastchallenge Results

Slim Fast| 3-2-1 # Slimfastchallenge Results

I’ve been on the Slim Fast* challenge for almost two weeks now, which is the recommended length of time set by Slim Fast themselves for the 3-2-1 challenge. Now although my recent post was more than two weeks ago, I wanted to make sure any results wasn’t just temporary. Understandably there are people who are people who are skeptical of “fad” diets and diets such as the 3-2-1 challenge, so I was determined to stick to the challenge word for word to the plan details. As I mentioned in my previous post, I was sticking to 3 snacks a day, 2 replacement meals and 1 healthy 600 calorie meal a day. Alongside this, I ensured I drank 2 liters of water, and worked out for at least 30 minutes a day. Now by working out, I don’t mean slugging myself to the gym everyday, it could be a brisk 30…

Kayla Itsines BBG WK1 | I Don’t Sweat. I Sparkle

If you have’t heard of, or don’t know of Kayla Itsines, where exactly have you been? She is literally on every fitness magazine and health article around, and is taking the internet, and fitness world by storm. With thousands upon thousands of girls, and some men, following the Kayla Army working their way towards a body that they are confident with, named purely as the “Bikini Body“. Now there are some who are skeptical about the transformation photos posted within her Instagram page, however, these are quickly shrugged off as each girl is tagged into her own photo. From there, if you were smart enough you would almost “Instagram Stalk” those girls, who can evidently be seen transforming from one body shape to a confident, lean and enviable shape that they are proud of. I’ve decided to put myself to the challenge and really push myself. I’ve been following Kayla and…

#StockOurSnacks | New Health Snack

#StockOurSnacks | New Health Snack

We literally have the word “calorie” put in front of our faces on a daily basis. There’s always the need to watch what we eat, and the good ol’ calories in, calories out concept. But it isn’t always that easy though, is it? Especially the need to go to the supermarket, and quickly turn over the packet to count up how much of your daily intake you are sacrificing. But there are brands who actually want to take the pressure off and make it easy for you. And as a bonus, there are a lot of low calorie snacks that are also healthy and good for you. I was recently asked to take part in a top secret review for a new snack brand that was to be launched in the UK over the summer, as part of the Stock Our Snacks campaign. Usually when I am asked for feedback…
