Roo'bar // review

I recently bought a ROO'BAR Super Mix Box which contains 16 bars: 4x Goji Berry, 4x Cacao Nibs, 4x Maca Cranberry and 4x Chia Coconut. These are 50g bars, making them perfect for little snacks between meals. They are also raw, organic, gluten free and suitable for vegans.  Maca Cranberry contains Maca powder, cranberries, dates, almonds and maca powder. This bar is full of antioxidants from cranberries and it has a nutty taste. Cacao Nibs contains almonds, Peruvian cacao nibs, cacao powder and dates. I like the smooth, sweet taste and nutty flavour. The cacao nibs make this bar crunchy. It is definitely my favourite and actually tastes like a real chocolate bar. Chia Coconut contains dates, desiccated coconut, crispy chia seeds and lemon oil. This bar has a very strong taste which I am not a massive fan of. I'm usually a big fan of chia seeds but in raw bars they are not my favourite. Goji Berry contains Goji berries, dried coconut and raw cacao powder. I love Go

Goals for 2016

It is time to set another 9 goals I would like to achieve by the end of 2016. My resolutions in 2015 were pretty good, hopefully I'll be as successful this year. Save money - I need to get serious about money. This is my main goal for 2016 and to achieve it I have to get super organised. Maybe it's time to download a good budget app on my tablet? Exercise at least 6 times a week - Last year my goal was to ''get fit'' but I don't think I fully understood the meaning of it. This time I am going to approach it a bit differently. Instead of getting stressed with ''I have to get fit'', I am going to concentrate more being strong and healthy. To make my workouts more fun, I might try things like dancing, yoga, pilates or even trampoline fitness. Come up with healthy recipes - I eat healthy most of the time but once I get bored with the same recipes, I start craving bad foods (donuts and McDonald's). I've decided to keep track of wha

Photo Blogging Challenge // Holidays

The last theme in the Photo Blogging Challenge for 2015 was Holidays . I got very excited to take pictures, as it is one of my favourite times of the year and it was such an easy theme to follow. I went for a walk with my camera a couple of times and took some Christmasy shots around Manchester. It made me quite inspired again - I would love to take more photos outside!
