Degustabox - May Box

I know we're already at the end of June but today I wanted to quickly review the Degustabox we received in May as our June box has just arrived. Degustabox is a subscription box which delivers 9 to 14 surprise products to your doorstep for only £12.99 a month (including delivery).

This box contained 10 goodies from a variety of companies. Most of the products were new to us, so it was fun to try out different things and discover new flavours.

Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Barbecue Sauce is the number one BBQ sauce in the US. Tristan and I like it a lot. The taste is sweet and smokey and it can be eaten with anything really. So far it has been really good with pasta, burgers and on sandwiches. A sample packet of BBQ sauce was also included but we've not yet tried it, I guess it will taste similar though.

Schwartz Grill Mates Marinade in a Bag
is ready-made, easy to use marinade. We got a delicious Asian-style blend with honey, soy sauce and garlic with a hint of black pepper. Ours was used with chicken with rice. We kept
the meat in the bag for about half an hour, then removed it and oven cooked it in the leftover marinade.

Maggi So Stir Fry
packets contain noodles and a seasoning sachet with blended herbs and spices. It makes a simple lunch or dinner but still leaves plenty of room to be creative and add some extra fresh ingredients to make your meal even tastier. I am not a big fan of instant noodles but Tristan eats them, so I am happy they are getting used.

Slim Pasta Lasagne is made from natural Konjac flour and oat fibre - it is a low calorie alternative to regular lasagne (carb-free and only 21 calories per 100g). It is gluten, fat and sugar free, perfect for my healthy lifestyle. I haven't had the chance to try this yet but luckily it will keep for a long time.

FUEL10K Protibrick
is a protein boosted wheat biscuit. It is perfect for people who want more protein in their diets and want to keep feeling fuller for longer. Made from 100% wholegrain, Protibricks are high in fibre, low in fat and sugar and are bigger than average wheat biscuits. Wheat biscuits offer a great meal at the start of the day - I usually have it in the mornings (with a bit of milk and some berries on top) but only when I am going to work out or run that day.


Daelmans Stroopwafels
are authentic Dutch soft, toasted waffles with sweet, creamy caramel fillings. I've bought these waffles before and they are so good. I could finish them in a day!

9Bar are small, healthy bars stacked with nutritious seeds (sunflower, sesame and pumpkin). The fruity bars we got include dried apricots, dates and are topped with carob, making them the perfect treat whenever I feel like snacking.


Fentimans Ginger Beer
is a soft drink made using Chinese ginger root. Tristan and I are not big fans of ginger drinks. It had such a strong taste and wasn't very enjoyable.

Sarsons Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is a 6% brewing quality malt vinegar which has been on the market since 1794. I love using balsamic vinegar for salads, meat or dipping.

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
