A Food Blog
When you’re trying to maintain a healthy diet, a lot of people try counting calories, avoiding alcohol, and passing up all junk food. It seems simple to lose weight, if you can stick to a super strict diet, right? That used to be me, until I started working in the food industry. As a food blo
I go out to eat a lot, making my seven-day vegan challenge a bit more… challenging…than those who prefer to cook and dine at home. I found this to be a bit stressful, as I could tell my friends were starting to judge me for not eating animals and probably beginning to consider banning me from go
About a month ago I was doing a bit of facebook stalking when I randomly came across some beautiful photographs of food. The pictures really caught my eye and before I knew it was scrolling through an album from a company called “Pura Vida Food.” All of the food in the photos looked delicious an

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and if you’re like me sometimes you just don’t have time to fit it in before you leave the house for work in the morning. You may not have time to whip up an egg white omelette, but you can grab a healthy filling breakfast from a shop or in a trai
The holidays are in full swing and it is a fantastic time of year filled with parties, cocktails, canapes and lots of chocolate and mince pies… and usually very little exercise. Although it is a time to be enjoyed, overdoing it with a few extra glasses of wine and the cheeky bites of chocolate in
Everyone has that one thing that really makes them feel as though Christmas has begun. For some, it’s the lights going on at Regent Street and maybe for others it’s seeing the first festive advert on TV, or perhaps it’s that first chocolate from your advent calendar. For me, it’s the red cup
It’s that time of year when eating healthy is a bit trickier – something I learned the hard way (about 5 pounds worth!) after moving from an always sunny climate to London a few years ago. I have since lost those few pounds and found ways to eat warm, filling food during the cold months that is
