My “Summer Body” & a Healthy Approach to the Gym

Since starting this blog, I've had an ongoing series called My Food Mentality, in which I document my journey from unhealthy food patterns and disordered thinking to finally feeling comfortable in my own skin.  However, it has been a while since I gave an update on everything, and I thought I'd explain why... In all honesty, …

Foodie Finds | Rosa Tapas

Today I'm back for another addition to my Foodie Finds series, where I review a foodie place, rating them on: Their story What I ate Stand out features (If any) Likelihood of me returning This time, the culprit is Rosa Tapas Bristol; an international Tapas place on Whiteladies Road in Bristol... Their Story... Rosa Tapas have been around …

Michelin to Kitchen | Sweet Potato & Feta Taquitos (Wahaca)

I am a massive fan of restaurants; I love trying different foods and finding new favourites, and being able to eat things I never even would have thought of cooking.  I'm lucky enough that as a blogger I get to experience quite a few new places...  However, on a student budget, it's not always possible …

Getting Back Into the Gym (AD)

It's been a while since I've spoken about my relationship with exercise, so it's about time I provided you with an update! As you may know if you've been a long term reader, I've gone through many phases of unhealthiness, constant exercise, no exercise, and around this time last year I found my feet.  I was thriving …

Foodie Finds | Las Iguanas

So, I'm back from Uni for Easter, all set to relax, revise, and release another addition to my Foodie Finds series, in which I review some cool restaurants I go to, from the perspective of your average, food loving girl.  In these, I break down my experience of the restaurant, and note: The restaurant’s story What …

Recipe | Fancy Pie – The Student Interpretation

I said that this year I was going to do a lot more recipe posts on my blog, so here I am back at it again with another!  So far, the two that I've done have been very quick and easy student recipes, however sometimes you want something a little fancier... A little more homely... …

Foodie Finds | The Parlour Bristol

I love food.  As far as I’m concerned, most people do.  This year I really want to expand the places I eat at because I find that it’s really easy to get stuck in a rut with your beloved favourites.  Don’t get me wrong – I’ll always return to places I love the most, but …

Quick & Healthy Chorizo Couscous Recipe

So as I mentioned here, I've really been into feeding my body healthy but tasty and balanced foods recently.  It's been really great being back at Uni and shopping for myself, as well as cooking fresh meals everyday, but as a student I don't really have the time or money to cook big, fancy things in the …

Sisters Take On… Alcoholic Desserts

At the time I'm writing this, it's a few weeks after Christmas: the time of the year where people take the festivities as a reason to put alcohol in anything possible.  So, it makes sense that by the end of the holidays we were left with a multitude of different alcoholic desserts just sitting around our kitchen... …

My Food Mentality | My Foodie Feelings

It's officially that post-Christmas, post-New Year season where diet companies go crazy and convince you that everything you ate over Christmas was evil and you need to instantly drop ten pounds.  As I' mentioned in the first ever post of this series, I used to have a relatively toxic relationship with food; in fact, 15 …
