I couldn’t make up my mind this morning: wake up an hour early to exercise before work or carry on sleeping? Realizing that I have a week of late nights ahead of me, I decided to go with the latter. Chances are I won’t be able to indulge in 8 hours of sleep a night until next …
Cereal, to me, is the equivalent of crack. OK that might be a slight exaggeration but I actually love the stuff. There’s something about eating it which is so satisfying. Topping it with some fruit, milk/yogurt, and nuts makes it a delicious, filling, and balanced breakfast option: wholegrain carbs, protein, healthy fats, fruit, dairy…and the …
When I did the International Baccalaureate, one of the higher level modules I selected was psychology. To be honest, I don’t even know why I took it as I had no interest whatsoever in the field. Now that I look back, I’m kind of glad I did. All the concepts and theories have so much …
Real women don’t sweat, they glow! Potayto Potato. Sweat, glow, call it whatever you like but it’s something that feels great! Ok just a little clarification before I go on: involuntary sweating due to exorbitant temperatures or claustrophobia is kinda nasty especially when a shower isn’t in your near future.

As catty as females can be, there’s one bond that we all share- a love for chocolate. I mean who doesn’t like chocolate?? White, dark, milk: you must have a soft spot for at least one…or, if you’re like me, all. In no specific order, the ones that hold a special place in my heart …
One thing that does my head in is when people say that “eating healthy is expensive” or “it is so difficult to stick to”. Depending on what you define as ‘healthy’, these statements may hold some truth. If your idea of healthy living involves popping weight-loss pills/meal supplements or severely restricting your calorie/carb intake, sticking …
Considering it features on my blog header, I’ve devoted a post to it in the past, and I haven’t gone a day without it since April, there is no doubt that I love peanut butter. Forget alcohol and cigarettes: this is an addiction for me. I do prefer the smooth variety but the crunchy option …
WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER: A medium fries from McDonalds (380 calories) OR Mixed salad Boursin, grated carrot, & rocket sandwich on rye bread Mixed fruit (apple and strawberries) with one teaspoon of dark chocolate peanut butter –> all for 330 calories?? A little food for …
I’m not really a butter person…peanut butter, most definitely, but not so much of that yellow stick. I find it more mentally and physically satisfying to top a piece of bread with fruit preserves, boursin, or mashed avocado. Considering butter’s high saturated fat content, that’s probably a good thing. The other day, I baked a …
