Halal Supplements!

Hello, hope you are all well and enjoying 2016. We’re already half way through; I don’t know how time passes us by so fast. I have been meaning to write this blog post for a while, but haven’t had the time to just sit down and write it, the thoughts have been swirling around in my head and I have finally got round to putting my words on (virtual) paper….or screen if you will. So read on to hear my thoughts and review on something new I have been trying out.

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!

EVENT: Food Matters Live 2014

My Haul!

I went to my first ever Food Matters Live event. It's all about food, healthy and nutrition, run over 3 days with lots and lots of talks debating and discussing various hot topics we often hear about today. When I first read about it, I knew I had to be there! Here's a little overview of my day and what I got up to, the talks, what I learnt, the freebies and the event as a whole. 

Healthy Haul: Tiger

Hiya! How are you all? The weather is lovely so I hope you are feeling lovely too. I went for quick shopping trip and got excited about a few products I purchased from a cute new shop that I just had to share with you all. 

My sister told me about this new shop called Tiger, she told me I would love it. And I really did, I had to control myself from going over board. Its a quirky retro kind of shop with just about everything. It reminded me of a little Ikea. From household gear to art and crafts you will most probably find it here. 

Anyway this is what I bought; a fruity art tray, apron and some oven baked rye sticks. How cute and colourful do they look, I just couldn't walk away from them and leave them behind! ;-) I did pick up a big bag of pretzels which I was tempted to buy, but as it was the salted flavour I put it back. I don't need no extra salt. #selfcontrol #highbloodpressure. Like I said I could have got so much more, but every girl has to control herself and stick to a budget, especially as I know now that I will be making multiple trips to this place... Oh no! My mum won't be happy ;-)

She also won't be happy about the fact that I forgot to buy some dark chocolate...sorry. :-( 

And just FYI if you wanted to know what I had for lunch and coffee...  I went to try out Grind Coffee. I had the roasted veg and mozzarella cheese toasted sandwich with a flat white. It was ok, kind of bland, a nice portion for a light lunch. 

Let me know if you've been to Tiger. What did you buy?

REVIEW: Creperie Du Monde

A review of one of my fave places to eat and drink. My go to place when I want to escape and want some good food to make me feel better. With the nice rustic décor and very friendly staff it's always a lovely place to go. 

Review: E1 Restaurant

This new halal restaurant it's one I have been meaning to try as it serves halal breakfasts, including a full English. I went with my cousin for brunch, we both hadn’t been yet so it was a good chance to go and give it try. I was a little excited to try this new place out, well new to me anyway. Was I happy with my experience….ummmm well….read more to find out why I'm not rushing to go back.

Review: Le Pain Quotidien

It is hard to find a nice place to eat and have good choice of fresh healthy food. So when I stumbled upon Le Pain Quitidien, with the help of my sister, the ‘café directory’, I knew I had to write about it and share it with you all. Sometimes side streets are the best places, away from the hustle bustle of the main road and the crowds.

RECIPE: 3 Ingredient Snack Bars

After researching and writing up the product review on cereal bars/energy bars/snack bars, which are growing on our supermarket shelves, I was determined to find a healthy alternative. Many people have these high sugar high fat bars on a regular basis unaware of what is actually in them.

Food Review: Snack Bars

Snack bars, cereal bars, breakfast bars, energy bars, what ever you like to call them, they are taking over our supermarket shelves. We are always short on time, and looking for new ways to eat on the go when we don’t have time to sit down and have a meal or snack or just need a quick energy fix when we are going about our day. We all know those days. One of the quickest way to have chosen to have our energy fix is by having a cereal bar, it has become a convenience food. However, not all of them are as good as they seem. In this blog I am going to review just some the bars I found on the supermarket shelves.

Interactive Health Check

It's important to get a health check regularly and I have not had one in while, so when my mum told me about the machine at the Hackney Service Centre (behind the town hall), I knew I had to go! I went today and here is how it went. 

Health Awareness Event: Talks, Demos and Food!

I was invited to host and deliver a talk at a Health Awareness Event organised by NFA Foundation, founded by a lovely sister I met only a few months ago, Nazia Ali. The event was held on Friday 28th March 2014 from 3-6pm.  It was a short yet fun-filled event, gaining invaluable healthy tips from all the health professionals that attended. 

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.

Green Tea - Good or Bad?

The interest and consumption of green tea has shot up in the last couple of years and many people are having it every day now, and even replacing it with their normal mug of tea or coffee. I have to have my nice warm mug of green tea in the morning to wake myself up; otherwise I can’t function, it gives me my morning boost. It’s weird because before I started having my morning green tea I didn’t used to have tea or coffee in the morning, I didn’t feel the need to have it like other people do. Now, I NEED my green tea, I’m kind of addicted, I even take my own tea bags when I travel.

EVENT: Nutrition and Health Live 2013

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a lovely day. Last week Saturday on 2^nd November 2013, I went to my first ever Nutrition and Health Live conference & expo. It’s an event for health professional in the nutrition and health industry, so a nutritionist like myself. It has been running for 14 years now and it is one of the biggest nutrition events.

Food Review: Children's Yoghurts

With all the sugars we are exposed to we should really try to find ways to reduce it, especially as it’s not good for our healthy and only adds to our calorie intake. One way to start getting rid of the unnecessary sugars in our diet is by finding any hidden sugars in the food we are having already.
