So I've had this blog for a while now (read, 3 and a half years!!) and throughout the entirety of this blog I have umm-ed and ahhh-ed over whether or not to become vegan, frequently posting vegan recipes and meal ideas and admiring all those vegans out there with their huge plates of plant-based goodness... And so it might seem shocking as to why I didn't go vegan a long, long time ago. But I think there was this tiny part of my brain that doubted whether or not i could/ should give up all animal products entirely. But the other thing was, I was basically vegan anyway (especially throughout ..read more

If you didn't guess from the title my friends, I did something awesome on Sunday the 28th of May... Something I've wanted to do for quite a few years now and have finally achieved. Something I've trained for for quite a while now and have finally completed. Something that makes me smile now just thinking of it. I RAN A HALF MARATHON!!!!! And it was awesome. Anywho, I thought i might do a little recap for you of the day, how it went, how I felt and all the fun stuff in between that made up THE DAY I RAN A HALF MARATHON. So, I began training for this half about 4-5 months before... yeah ..read more

Hidy-ho there friendly friends and happy Wednesday! Today the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, I had a lovely lie-in rest-morning (brutal PT training sesh 10:30am coming up though!!) and just came back from a gorgeous beach walk with the mother. To say life is pretty good would be an understatement! It's the little things in life that truly bring us the most pleasure overall and I think truly acknowledging them and thanking the world for them each and every day is what fills our hearts and warms our souls. Ok, enough with the deep stuff that makes our bodies feel amazing. Onto someth ..read more

Hi friends!! I know I've been a little absent on the blog front lately- but if you follow me on Instagram you would know i'm still alive and thriving! :D :D Nope, just bogged down with the hectic-ness that we call the beautiful life and whilst I love blogging and it brings me so much joy, I have had to put it on a bit of a back burner for now as I simply do not have the time to sustain a consistent blogging schedule! So to keep up with the daily consumptions of moi, I literally post it all on Insta with recipes, so that's where you can get all those delicious inspirations for your next meal ..read more

Hidy-ho friendly friends and... Sorry for being so M.I.A. recently!! Life has just been happening, you know?? I've been working a lot and then uni started up (and there is a heck of a lot of stuff to organise before you even get into week 1 of university! CRAZY!) and well, ya girl had to prioritise life in order to make the most of each day and unfortunately that meant posting all the delicious foods to Instagram instead of this lovely space as it was simply quicker, more convenient and let's be real; easier! :P Anywho, I am back today and this time with a real serious post to get the brain ..read more

Hi there friendly friends and welcome to another Week In Workouts post! Rest day is scheduled in for tomorrow and thus I thought I'd share with you what the previous working out days have looked like and a typical working out week for me at the moment! Now I'm the type of person who needs to keep things changing and interesting to keep my motivation up. Last week my way of doing that was completing this insane Weekend Warrior Workout by Lifting Revolution that nearly killed me. Honestly it was one of the hardest workouts I've ever done. And it was awesome. :P This week was a little less cra ..read more

Hi there friendly faces and brace yourselves for a recipe that will change your life. A recipe so delicious it will make you question your sanity in choosing to waste so many years of your life starting your day with a bowl of bland cereal, or dry toast with jam, or- and this pains me to even think about- no breakfast at all!! This recipe will fill you with so many emotions that you won't know what to do with yourself and leave you with the kind of skepticism that can only be associated with the question; Can this really be good for me? This recipe is a recipe for hot, gooey, chocolate brow ..read more

Hi there friendly friends and welcome back to what seems to be the theme of the past week or so- TURMERIC!! I have been absolutely loving this spice lately- and, oh my goodness, why has no one ever told me how utterly amazing the mango/turmeric combo is?? I mean I whipped up a creamy dreamy green mango smoothie the other day and added a few dashes of the golden spice and voila! Soooo delicious!! What is that!?!  Simply 1 frozen banana, 1 massive handful frozen zucchini chunks, 5 chunks frozen spinach, 1 handful frozen mango, 3 scoops greek yoghurt, 3/4 cup rolled oats soaked in 1 cup al ..read more

Hi there friendly friends and happy Thursday- the day before the day when everyone gets excited for the weekend! You excited yet?? Anywho, today I have a recipe for you!! Yay! I love exercise- it makes me feel good, sets me up for the day with a positive mindset and a really good feeling of exhaustion that's buzzing with endorphins and a fighting attitude to crush the day! However, as I am one of those people who can't crush said workouts with food in the belly (when I had to do track and races at school following lunch/ breakfast etc. I definitely did not feel/ perform my best my friends- a ..read more

Hidy-ho friendly friends and Happy SUNDAY!! Sundays for most might mean a bit more of a sleep-in followed by an easy-going restful day... for others it might mean running 17km before 8am, like I did, today :P  This is my, I'm finally home face!! ^^  And this is my; did I actually just do that?? What kind of crazy person am I, face ^^ And these are my legs... they don't really show too much emotion. Anywho, it was a lovely run, running against the wind was a bit of a battle at times, but luckily the last few km's back were with the wind (honestly, when I was running against it I ..read more
