Things that make me happy at the moment are:

• Eatings loads of strawberries
• Being pregnant & healthy
• Attending our first anti-natal class
• Lola our new puppy 
• House hunting
• Listening to Lana del Ray
• Looking for baby stuff
• Catching up with friends
• Baking

Healthy Juicing Tips

HEALTHY JUICING TIPS

I got a bit tired of smoothies, plus bannanas started making me feel sick at times so I opted for something that taste a bit more summery and fresh and I found juicing! I'm only a beginner at this but apparently you can get anti-aging juice recipes, immune booster recipes and lots more from here.

Grab my recipe if you like, it's really fresh, and helped me fight my cold:
1 pear
5 prunes
2 oranges
2 kiwi's

Enjoy and let me know what your thoughts are.

Chai Tea Recipe

I'm not so much of coffee person and would way rather choose a pot of hot chai over an espresso coffee believe it or not. Some people think I am a tad odd because of it, I just call it intelligent taste buds. I am much more of a tea girl. Name them, I have drank them all...rooibos, elderflower, green tea, white tea, peach nectar and of course my all time favourite has to be chai tea.

CHAI TEA RECIPE 

(4 cups of tea)

Ingredients

• 8 cardamom seeds
• 8 cloves
• 4 black peppercorns
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 cups whole milk
• 8 teaspoons sugar or more, to taste
• (I use brown sugar to give that caramel taste)

Directions

1. Place all spices in a saucepan on the stove and add your milk. Let steep for 10minutes. 

2. Pour into mugs and add sugar to taste. Enjoy!

Breakfast For A Blogger | Healthy Eating

Eating healthy is a New Year's resolution for most people entering into 2013. Everybody is trying to loose weight they seemed to have packed on over the festive season and so am I. 

For me personally, I am just trying to tweak my everyday eating and just replace some of the junk I use to eat with some fruit and vegetables that I actually like. 

I still enjoy my coffee with sugar and milk but try to have skim milk instead of full cream and instead of having a full teaspoon of sugar I have half a teaspoon. I just call it tweaking instead of dieting. The word DIET scares me..
