Balancing out on holiday - Dubai 2015

I was truly blessed and fortunate enough to go on holiday recently to sunny Dubai with my mum. We had a nice break (away from cold London) filled with shopping, food and fun!

Barcelona Blog - Day 4 (and overall review)

It was our last (half) day in Barcelona - We didn’t plan anything for today apart from pack, have breakfast, get ready and leave for the airport. We did however, pop into the local market, my mum couldn’t resist.

Hola! Had another great day in Barcelona, all the days went more or less according to my pre-planned itinerary. We jam-packed a lot in the three days visiting all the main sites. Success! 

Barcelona Blog - Day 2

Hola! Day 2 in Barcelona has made my feet ache. Again lots and lots of walking its a good thing that the weather is just right, it's about 18'C so not too hot to tire you out and pleasent enough that you know you are not in the UK. ;-p

Barcelona Blog - Day 1

Hi everyone!! Hope you are all well, happy and healthy. I thought I would try and do daily blogs of my Barcelona trip, I'm not a video person so can't do vlogs (sorry). Enjoy! 

Keeping Healthy in India

Going on holiday can put a strain on your diet, you have to keep head strong and make the right choices. It’s hard to keep within your limits when you are out of the house let alone being in a different country. I went on holiday to a country known for its unhealthy diet with food being high in fat, salt and sugar, India.

It was a family trip to visit family and relatives and while I was there I got my eye laser surgery done as well, so I’m getting used to life without contact lenses and glasses. Yay!

As it was the first time I have gone back to India as a nutritionist, I was more aware of the food and eating habits. I made lots of observations and got chatting to some locals as well about trying to be healthy eating. They told me what they ate in their typical day and I gave them realistic changes to make in the following week. I was a little bit amazed that they were interested in trying to be healthy, as I am all too familiar with their motto of: eat, live and die. So, how did I keep healthy in a place which is known to be laden with oil, fat and sugar?
