Every Winter, my usually combination skin gets SO dry. The cold air coupled with central heating plays havoc with my skin and it’s no fun. The best way to combat dry skin is through your diet. I’ve said this before in my clear skin post but the skin really is a mirror reflection of what’s being… Read more »
This has got to be one of the most beautiful looking plates of food. I love the vibrancy of it and you can just tell by looking at it that it’s going to be good for you.

This way I can still get all the benefits… Read more »

Ah the ‘Masala dabba’ – a mandatory piece of kit in any Indian person’s home. It literally translates to spice (masala) tin (dabba) and contains all the essential Indian spices. With this tin in hand you can pretty much cook any Indian dish. Now, there are a host of different dishes and cultures within India,… Read more »
Breakfast is genuinely my favourite meal of the day. Eggs, porridge, smoothies, pancakes… the options are endless. Granola is scrumptious (I’m a big fan of all the crunchy deliciousness), but the store bought versions are full of sugar – no good. I never eat it apart from on holiday where I’m a little more relaxed… Read more »
