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 …

My Food Mentality | Acceptance & New Routines

I haven’t done a post on my food/body positivity journey in a while… In all honesty I had a post that was supposed to come out in October on "5 of my favourite student meals" but I wanted to include pictures and, well, I kept eating the food before I took them… So that will …

Sisters Take On… “Healthy” Smoothie Recipes

So, this happens to be the start of a brand new series called "Sisters Take On..." - a review series with a twist!  In this series, I will bring my sister in to review try something with me and we'll each give our opinions.  Why?  Because we're two very different people...

My Food Mentality | Bikini Bodies…

I have now moved out of University and back at home for the next 4 months, so I can officially say that summer has started!  However, with summer comes a pressing underlying pressure to partake in crash diets and intense workout schemes in an attempt to get that highly spoken about "bikini body".   Trust me, I've …

My Food Mentality | My 4 Favourite (Healthy) Summer Snacks

Snacking seems to often be portrayed as a bad thing... when people try to lose weight one of the first things they try to cut out is snacking.  But honestly, snacking isn't a bad thing at all!  I've been trying really hard to listen to my body recently; eat when I'm hungry, stop when I'm …

My Food Mentality | Accepting My Body…

Recently I've been feeling a lot better about the way I look. Have I been dieting? Nope. Lost weight? Not considerably. Finally sorted out my hair? Maybe one day... Honestly, nothing about my appearance has really changed at all, and yet I'm able to look in the mirror and feel 10 times better about myself …

My Food Mentality | March Food Diary (for students)

After how well received my February food diary was, I decided I'd make this a monthly feature so welcome to the March edition!   As it has been mentioned loads of times now, I was feeling really insecure in February and it would have been so easy to slip back into my old unhealthy eating habits by …

My Food Mentality| Feb Food Diary (for Students)

As I mentioned in my food mentality post, I am trying to eat healthily (NOTE: not diet, just eat 3 balanced meals a day) while also not spending a ridiculous amount of money on food.  I change my meals weekly because I like variety and I get bored of the same thing very quickly, but …

Clean Eating – My Food Mentality

For as long as I can remember I haven't been happy with my weight.  I don't think I've ever been remarkably overweight, or overweight at all... I've always been within the "healthy" BMI category (granted, towards the higher end of it... but still within it) but I was never happy.  I've never had a flat …
