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. 

WORKSHOP: Healthy Food Art

In my mission to promote healthy eating to the younger generation and help children build healthy habits from a young age, I got a great opportunity to deliver a healthy workshop and I decided to do it on healthy food art. It was a great success and so much fun. 

Calories Misunderstood

Calories….calories….calories. We see it everywhere now. If you count your calories or not, it is something we see on all our food packaging and now even on the menu when we go out for a meal. I’m not saying that is a bad thing, we should be aware of how much we eat and drink. But I find that it is a problem when we become obsessed with the figures.

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. 

Normal Girl Nutritionist

Hi!! How are you all? I thought I would write a post letting you know a little bit more about me and my thoughts and my life as a nutritionist. Yes, my name is Ayshabibi, I am a nutritionist and I love it! I just stumbled upon this course when looking through UCAS a few months before starting university; I was looking through the course list deciding which one to do and I saw human nutrition, I was intrigued and didn't even know such a course existed and once I read the course description I knew I wanted to do it. And I have never regretted it one bit... (except when having to do stats at university).
