High End Beauty Haul Alert!

I've realised that beauty posts have been lacking on Beauty and the Bake recently. Tut-tut to me. I don't know if it was the guilt of not blogging about beauty for a while or quite simply that I hadn't really been buying a lot of new products that led me to an almighty splurge not once but twice in Space.NK over the past few weeks....eeek!

Motivational Monday: Chocolate Cravings, the alternatives

I have a sweet tooth like you wouldn’t believe. I joke about going out just for dessert for dinner instead of eating anything savoury. I say I joke, but I’m deadly serious. But now that I’ve given up processed sugar for a while, yes I know you’re probably bored of me telling you this every Monday, shop bought dessert and in particular a Cadbury’s chocolate bar is out of the question – ahh!

The 4pm slump can be pretty tough when it’s not fuelled by a whispa, or jelly sweet of some sort, so, I thought today’s post could focus on a couple of healthier alternatives I’ve been enjoying snacking on that give me that sweet, sweet satisfaction.

Well.....Hello Fresh!

I love cooking. Whether that be baking a cake, rustling up a lasagne, or making my own truffle gnocchi to go with a sage and butter roast chicken, I just love the satisfaction you get from taking a few standard ingredients and making it into something beautifully yummy. 

I love cooking...when I have time...when I can be bothered...oh and when I'm organised enough to plan all the ingredients I need for each recipe.

Muffins you say? On a Motivational Monday? One word...YES! 

Motivational Monday: The People

It’s fair to say that with only two Motivational Monday posts then a four week break, I have been lacking a wee bit of motivation myself. I fell off the band wagon coming back from holiday, and got into some pretty bad eating habits. So, for today’s post, I thought I would talk about two people who have inspired me to follow the road of a truly healthy, and nourished lifestyle once again, and hope they do the same for you too.
