It's surprisingly hard to grab hold of a hobby once you've had to stop for a while. For me it's both the blog and gym that have been missing for a while now. And I really think that the guilty feeling over losing the connection with both hobbies is making it even more difficult to get back into them. Since I started having...
Uni project finished and handed in! I've been under so much stress the past week, so it really felt like someone just pushed those 12,000 words and several experiments off my shoulders when I pressed "Submit" on Turnitin last night. A very relieved student. The stress really hit me in the way I didn't want it to - stress eating. The amount of...
I'm a sucker for a nice banana cake, and we happened to have a few incredibly ripe bananas hanging around. As I'm a part of alldishes.co.uk now, I decided to treat you guys a little bit! I've modified a basic banana cake recipe to a healthier one. I've substituted caster sugar with honey, and used wholemeal flour instead of white. I also threw...
Hey all, thank you for being so patient with this small break I've been having blogging wise. I am getting lots of rest and just having a small creative break from most things, and right now my head is near exploding with ideas to share with you all! So what's coming up in the next week or so? Well, I'm glad you asked!...
Like I mentioned earlier this week, I've really struggled getting out of bed since Wednesday. I really can't figure out what's causing it, and it's starting to bug me. I go to bed usual time (between 11 and 12), but I just can't seem to be able to find the energy to get out of bed after eight hours of sleep. Am I...
Well, this post is rather late! I was going to post this recipe yesterday, but I just had one of those days when I didn't feel like doing much! Ok, so! The original recipe is by The Good Morning, this incredible Finnish foodie blog I've followed for a while now. Thank you Kaisa for making it public, the pie was amazing! Simple &...
I've struggled with gym motivation this week. My messed up schedule last week has really affected my mood all week, and I nearly had to force myself to the gym today. Instead of getting up early and getting ready to go to before nine, I just kept hitting the snooze on my phone over and over and over again. I did the same...
I had such a bizarre craving for a milkshake tonight, and after dinner I finally gave in and made one! I just had no idea what to make it from, but thankfully we still had some strawberries in the fridge. Then again, I already tried a plain strawberry shake the other day, so wanted to add something else into it. I had a...
It's that time of the year again - first Tuesday of March! This means Pancake day! I really love pancakes, and I've posted about them a few times before.. :) Today was actually a double pancake day in a way, hah. This time I wanted to try something slightly different with the batter. Instead of going for my usual recipe, I decided to...
Time really flies! Only one more month left of my biotin experiment. The change in my hair is really obvious now. It's a lot easier to detangle, my ends look so much better and my hair has grown quite a bit! It is however a bit harder to see the roots coming through now, as the brown colour is starting to be quite...
I'm in the 60s!! What an amazing feeling! There's been massive progress both on the scales and off. :) I kid you not, I had a few checks on the scales during the week and my weight did not move even 100g in one way or another, I was worried that I had hit another plateau, hah! I've really caught up with being...
I've been looking to get a new leather jacket for a while now. The one I've been using is just simply starting to be far too big, I can actually grab both sides with my hands without touching any skin! Well fitting clothes are so important to me now that I've actually got a nice figure, it really got to the point where...
