#FITNESS | USN Nutrition range review

Since is quit the gym (because winter equals no motivation) i have been doing little workouts here and there at home but once spring is in full motion and the sun shows his face again the running will begin! USN sent me some bits to help me stay motivated and healthy during my workouts.  Im very much a milkshake gal so i find that the milkshakes benefit me more than anything. Keeping me full before or after a workout to help with snacking less. The website offers a wide range of items so i do recommend checking it out! here I havent tried the capsules as im not a big fan of tablets in general so i did some of my own research and read some reviews and a lot of people are saying they have used these without anything else and have lost small amounts of weight. Bring on summer 2017 for the summer bod!  

#BEAUTY | Beverly Hills Formula Toothpaste w/ activated charcoal

I have been secretly using this Beverly hills formula toothpaste which is called perfect white for a  while now, so its time for me to share my thoughts on it! As you may be aware it is actually a black coloured toothpaste! i know right, how cool is that! Although the first time i saw it i was slightly scared to use it as i have never used any dark coloured toothpastes before. So i was sitting there thinking "is this going to stain my teeth?" (of course it didnt) haha, the reason it is black is because it has activated charcoal in. Im sure you remember the latest craze of people buying elmers PVA glue and activated charcoal and making face masks that really pull the dirt from the pores?! Well now its in toothpaste!..not the glue...just the charcoal ;) So it is pretty much jet black in colour, but when applied to the teeth it is more a greyish colour, the more you brush the more you notice it and it also has a minty flavour which did suprise me...i...

#HEALTH & FITNESS | Loosing weight the fun way with Nutribuddy

From the title i know that you all must be thinking fun and loosing weight cant go in the same sentence, but you are wrong. There are a lot of diets out there and products that can help you to lose weight and i want to show you today that a diet doesnt have to be such a negative thought or thing to do!  What may work for one wont work for another BUT just have a read of my journey so far and see if you could do it for yourself. So, i got sent this beautiful looking bundle from Nutribuddy. It is a 14 day bundle. Which you can buy online for £34.99, there is also the option to buy a 7 day starter kit for £24.99 (recommened for anyone who wants to try it out before commiting to a bigger bundle to see if it works for you) you can also buy a bigger bundle for £62.99 which is a 30 day one.  I myself can be quite sceptical of meal replacement shakes as i think eating 3 meals a day and keeping snacking to the minimum is enough to help you stay at the weight of your cho...

#HEALTH | Getting your vitamins with Natures Well (Halal)

Normally im not a big fan of vitamins, not just because normally they come in some kind of capsule form and i sometimes feel like the percentage of actually getting any of the goodness it very low to what you would get if you ate the right amount of veggies and fruit. That being said i  thought i would give these ones a go because not only are the chewable but also because i have had a few bouts of illness so close together, it wouldnt do me no harm to just try and see what comes of it. They are from Natures Well which is a brand that specialising in halal supplements. This means the product has no alcohol or pork in.  It is worth having a browse through the vitamin list to see if there are any that you may think could be suitable for your needs as they actually have a very wide range of them! I choose the Vitamin C tabs because i feel like i needed the nourishment and to restore that particular issue after being ill. Why these vitamins are for me rather ...

#REVIEW | Lean Greens superfood drink

Health drinks are always at the very top of my list to try as there are always new flavours popping on to the market many carrying some helpful benefit. For this post we are going green! This drink is a green drink from Lean Greens involving foods like  Broccoli Green teea Spinich Chlorella Spirulina  The only problem with drinks of the green kind is the taste, they can famously taste like a cupful pond water! So i was hoping for the opposite with this drink. What does it do? It is basically a drink that will help you discover your natural enegery levels and cut out any uncomfortable bloating. A drink to make you feel alert and not have sugar crashes like you may get from those sweet snacks we tend to reach for. And hopefully put a stop to those cravings for all things sweet altogether . ...The taste? I really went in to this thinking it would be so yummy like those green shakes you see and want to devour, but it wasnt a taste i cou...

#FOOD | Matcha mint oreo milkshake recipe

Hello hello, this is going to be my first ever food post! eek, but it will be the best post because i am combining one of my ALL TIME favourite milkshak recipes with some healthy ingredients. So really it is a win - win situation for us! I have been super busy with interviews over the last couple of weeks and i have now started learning arabic properly! You know i always say on twitter i want to learn arabic or turkish or italian and i seem to learn the easiest sentences and then give up haha but i have knuckled down and really started to get a grasp on the arabic language! So i suppose you could say thats why i have kind of reduced my blog posts. Then came my obsession with oreo milkshakes...i slowly starting to wave goodbye to that summer body i was working so hard on getting.  It all began with a quick trip to skoops to grab a refreshing milkshake and then started becoming an obsession with me visting skoops, kaspas and desserts more than i visted my own home LOL, when it b...

#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 chris...

#REVIEW | Slendertoxtea daytox x sleeptox

Carrying on my fitness theme for the month of January i bring you, SLENDERTOXTEA! Im not going to go into detail about the ingredients and all that because you can see it for yourself on the website, here . I just want to let you guys know how i got on and my results. d-a-y-t-o-x s-l-e-e-p-t-o-x i am currently on day 4 of my detox so i am just going to give you a run through of those results. i followed the instructions to brew the tea bag in my cup for a minute or two - i brewed it less at the start as i didnt know how tolerant i would be. i did this lets say 20 mins after i got up. i didnt particualry like the taste so it was one of those hold your nose and gulp things, but as the days went on i have grown to tolerate it. i was also drinking the sleeptox tea, which is an every other night drink. i would brew it 2 hours before i felt like i wanted to sleep. but i would like you to bear in mind that i have tried to eat full meals and eat as healthy as i can, cutting o...
