Healthy Lifestyle Advice

Society these days controls our idea of being 'healthy' more than we know it. Each day we scroll social media and we see influencers with these amazing toned bodies claiming they have the 'Quickest ways to loose weight'. Society has painted the picture that to have a healthy body a women has to have toned muscles and a perfect hour glass figure.For a man they must have these big biceps and predominant 6 pack. Also that this can be achieved in a matter of days.

But I believe this is simply not the case. - These bodies are not realistic - They are not sustainable.
We cannot believe that after drinking these Detox teas or eating a protein bar and doing a 5 minute Abb blast that this is going to keep us healthy in the long run. We should be adopting healthy habits that are going to last for our whole lives - Not just for the 'Summer body'.

A healthy lifestyle is for me -

Is eating a balanced diet that fuels our body - Full of nutrients and energy - Enjoying the food we are eating and not restricting ourselves - Food should be enjoyable and we should love creating strong fuel for our bodies.

It is enjoying being active - Exercising our bodies should be fun and not a chore or simply a habit- But a time in our day in which we look forward too .

It is being happy with yourself - enjoying your daily life - eating nutrious foods and keeping active -but not feeling like it is a CHORE but something you ENJOY doing.

/This will all take time - To be truely positive within yourself does not happen over night but over a period you will see a change - A happy one.

A happy mind leads to a happy heart➹

A healthy lifestyle has to be sustainable for life - not just for a quick weight loss fix which in the long run will just catch you up again. So please dont compare yourself to those online. Create your OWN healthy lifestyle. One that is natural and works for you. - No one else matters

Favourite Brunch and Coffee Spots

My absolute favourite thing to do is go for out for coffee or brunch at a cute little cafe. I love to explore all the different cafes and coffee stops near me with my friends and family or just by myself. Sitting down, having a catch up and eating some delicious food is such a good way to spend quality time (well that's what I think). Even if I'm on my own I can get some much needed work done on my laptop or just sit and take in my surroundings. Here I have complied some of my favourite places, the perfect places to go for a wee coffee or brunch and of course it's always a great photo opportunity! I am a sucker for cute presentation and I literally take photos of everything I eat, whoops.... But I honestly could not care. It makes me happy and as I've said a million times on this blog, that is all that really matters.   Little Things Cafe  instagram - littlethingscafe This cafe has the cosiest setting. I visited here on my own and just sat with my laptop ...

Routine in Isolation

As we all know this is a really weird time to be alive - all this uncertainty is causing all of us some added stress. I am finding it myself so hard to keep in a healthy routine when I feel so restricted in what I can do. Keeping myself busy is something I always struggle with and can become really flustered if I feel I have not been productive enough on a particular day. So in this post I am going to be sharing some tips that I will be using to try and keep myself in a healthy routine. 1. Follow your class/work schedule - Yes this sounds awfully simple and one in which you are probably trying to do. But it is so important. For me in my university career I have classes and work I need to be doing daily, therefore I am trying to follow these class timetables even when I'm not on campus. For example on a Monday morning I have my nutrition class therefore at that time at home I will look over my lecturers and do my work for that class. This is so important to ensure you don't...

5 Easy Self Care Ideas

The start of a new year and we all want to be the best versions of ourselves on the outside. Set ourselves these big challenges that few of us stick. However I challenge you to make more time for YOU, more time spent on YOURSELF on the INSIDE. These 5 little steps can be implemented into your daily routine. That might just lift you into positive mindset we all aim for. Idea 1 : Write down 3 things you are grateful for each day OR say them aloud to yourself each night before you go to sleep. This will end your day thinking of the POSITIVE things letting your mind rest with happy thoughts. - There can ALWAYS be some positives. Idea 2 : Take pride in your daily outfits.   Try and where outfits that you feel good in, be comfy and where you own style. Another idea which can be so small is add something to your outfit that you really love every day. It could be a little bracelet you love or a big cosy scarf. Something that you feel good about and that you feel comfortable i...
