What I eat in a day!

Hey dolls,

It can be hard to eat healthy when you have a super busy life, so I thought I’d share what I eat in a day! Obviously it varies but most days are similar to this! I also try to drink 2-3 litres of water a day.

Breakfast for me is so important, if I don’t start the day right it is unlikely my day will be productive. Breakfast can vary from scrambled eggs to overnight oats or my fave quick and easy yoghurt, fruit and granola. I love the Light & Free yoghurts, grab whatever fruit I have in the fridge or fruit bowl and top it with a handful of Jordan’s low sugar granola for a bit of crunch.

Lunch is always the meal I struggle with because I get bored of eating the same thing, throughout the winter I had soup pretty much everyday but now the sun is out salad season is back!

This is my absolute favourite salad (apart from your classic caesar!) and so simple. To make my Chicken Pesto salad I just fry some chicken in fry lite with salt and pepper, mix 1tsp of pesto with the same of light mayo, chop some cucumber, throw some salad leaves in a bowl and add a few croutons. I also needed to use up my strawberries so chopped them up with an apple for a sweet treat!

 

At work I always get peckish in the afternoon so have a range of snacks in my snack drawer from rice cakes to Fibre One bars! I recently discovered Fibre One popcorn bars and OMG they are amazing!

Cooking dinner is definitely my favourite meal, I love mixing different flavours. One of my go to meals is Soy, ginger and garlic salmon with brown rice and greens. Again the greens always change depending on what is in the fridge. Sometimes, I will make some extra and have the rest for lunch the next day!

Travel with me: 21st birthday trip to Iceland

Hey Dolls,

To kick start my 21st birthday celebrations I headed to Iceland with my parents! The weekend was amazing and I highly recommend, so here’s what we got up to!

We landed around lunchtime and decided to go exploring the city centre after adding a few extra layers! We enjoyed a wander about and stopped off at a lovely little coffee shop to warm up!

On Saturday, we had an early start and got picked up from our hotel at 8.30am! It was all worth it though as we headed out on the Golden Circle tour. Our first stop was Thingvellir National Park, a place rich with Icelandic history. Despite the bitter wind the view was beautiful and we also enjoyed out tour guide Wally’s tails.

Next stop was the Geyser, a geothermal spouting spring. This was great to watch as it is a natural phenomenon. We also stopped here for lunch, the food was nice but be prepared because it is expensive!

Our final stop was the beautiful  Gullfoss Waterfall, a natural waterfall with amazing views! We didn’t spend as much time looking at the waterfall as it started snowing really heavily so after taking some lovely picture, headed to the cafe for one of the best hot chocolates I have ever had!

Sunday was a day to relax, how could I visit Iceland and not go to the Blue Lagoon! The Blue Lagoon was one of the oddest but most amazing experiences. It is not often you are in a swimming costume in a natural hot lagoon whilst it is snowing! We also took advantage of the face mask bar and I have to say my skin felt incredible afterwards!

After a very relaxing day it was time for dinner. Recommended to us by our lovely concierge Greta, we went to Apotex and OMG it was the best meal I have ever eaten! We indulged in the 7 course tasting menu full of Icelandic cuisine with a modern twist. Highly recommend this one!

My Top Picks:

-Golden Circle tour, an easy way to explore Iceland

-Blue Lagoon, a must if you visit this beautiful country

-Apotex, delicious modern Icelandic food- best meal ever!

-Balthasar, yummy rustic food

-Grand Hotel, lovely hotel with friendly staff

Iceland is definitely in my top 5 countries I have visited and I would recommend it to anyone!

I will be filling you in on the rest of my 21st celebrations in my next post!

Travel with me:Ibiza!

Hey Dolls,

After a long absence from my blog, I’m back! There have been lots of reasons I haven’t had time to blog properly but now I’m ready to get going again!

I thought for my first blog back I’d fill you all in on my holiday with my bestie to Ibiza!

We went to Ibiza for a week, it was Soph’s first girls holiday and we were both really looking forward to it.

We booked our holiday through jet2.com and were really happy with our hotel (despite the food being very repetitive and not the best). It was a cute room, kind of like a mini villa with a nice garden area.

 

Our week was really nice and relaxing but we did enjoy a night out with a bunch of German’s from our hotel which meant a classic Soph and Sabs dance floor takeover!

We also decided to splash out and hit Nikki Beach for their Amazing Sunday’s, and it was a delicious brunch buffet with unlimited champagne plus a saxophonist and violist! Highly recommend and was definitely worth the money!

We have already started planning out next holiday and had an amazing time!

Ciao Bellas,
