#HEALTH | Why eat crickets? Lets talk superfoods w/ CROBAR

Admittedly eating crickets isnt something common unless you are on a game show ....or are a lizard. If you are a lizard and are somehow reading this then i guess you already know the benefits.....but for those of the less scaley kind i will explain! As you may know from my previous posts and most probably my twitter :') i attended the blogger hangout LFW event and that is where i discovered CROBAR.

Aside from the crickets which catch your attention i also think the packaging has been well thought out. It is really pleasing and fresh and the actual packet seems to keep the bar really fresh inside. So lets talk a little more about crickets are why you should eat them.

The bars -

✓ Protein Packed
✓ Gluten-Free
✓ Soy-Free
✓ Paleo-Friendly
✓ Dairy-Free
✓ No added sugar
 
 You would think with no sugar it might taste like a wet sock but you are wrong, the taste actually reminds me of dark chocolate and dried fruit with a similar texture to christmas pudding!! haha, bizarre right. I myself, will give anything a taste cos if you dont taste something how will you know if you like it or not?? Now im not saying i am in love with the taste but it is a lot more bearable than some health bars i have tasted.
 
 
The fact it is full of protein and has so many benefits really spurs me on to eat the bar.
It is not something you have to eat everyday, i think even you start with once a week or every 2 weeks you could end up eating them more often. 

This is why they are good for you :

High quality protein
Animal sourced dietary protein is superior to that derived from plants. Unlike plants, animal protein contains all 9 essential amino acids

 Iron
Crickets contain more than twice as much iron as spinach

 (yay to no spinach) lol im kidding i love spinach but
yay for all you spinach haters!

 Vitamin B12
10 g crickets contain your daily dose of Vitamin B12

 Fat
Crickets contain half the amount of fat than beef

Omega 3 & 6 ratio
Crickets have an omega 3 & 6 ratio of 1:2.2, which is better than that of hemp, soy and whey


If you do not like the taste or texture of the bars you can also buy cricket powder to add to your own recipies like pancakes! check it out here  


Have i changed your mind and persauded you to eat crickets?? I know you looked at the title and thought i was mad to even suggest eating crickets, but its all for your health ;) so swap a chocolate bar for a cricket bar and dont feel the guilt of eating something you shouldnt!

 xoxo

#BEAUTY | MY favourite lashes....like ever!

Yesss i am a lash addict...even if im not wearing them i am hoarding them. Here are a few of my faves, most of them will be wispy, invisi band lashes with the odd OTT lashes as i do like my lashes to look as real as possible. Huda Beauty : Scarlett lash - h'omg, these lashes are the ultimate out there lash. They really give me the old hollywood glamour feels and really make your eyes pop. I love these as a high end, luxury lash as they are very pricey!! But 100% worth it. Lash Unlimited : DBL range - i always loved the original range from this brand  the #7 and #9 are so so pretty so when they brought out the DBL range i was really blown away, the lashes are more thicker and have like a double layer and some of the styles remind me of the lilly ghalichi lashes! These lashes are great quality for the low price! Nouveau Lashes : Natural/ Style 3 - Being a member of the #LashGang makes me a little biased here! Well, i say that but im not re

#REVIEW | Ammonia FREE hair dye w/ NATURIGIN

There are a lot of hair dyes on the current market and when i am shopping for one i tend to normally stick to one or two brands, more than anything it is to do with price rather than being about a brand i love. All hair dyes have a variety of colours and there ist much else that sets them apart, so for me i am easily swayed and will give most brands a go! Enter... NATURIGIN . This posts is actually a little overdue, sorry guys! I met the lovely people behind the brand at the blogger hangout event which you can read HERE and they told me the wonders about the hair dye. Basically the biggest selling point or best asset shall i say of this product is the fact that it is ammonia free and organic based! The dye itself is free of ammonia, which means it doesnt have the smell of a chemical lab!! I was so pleased and pleasently suprised with the smell of the dye. I really had no idea what to expect but it wasnt at all that strong bleachy smell it was so much more toned down.
