A change of scene

After some time off and a lot of soul searching I have decided to change direction with my blog...So what can you now expect?

A lot of posts about my journey from a couch potato to getting into shape and learning to love the gym (which is still a work in progress). Expect to see open and honest posts about the struggles we all have with trying to get that beach ready body (which does not actually exist).

The first thing I wanted to talk to you about was finding the correct sports bra. Now I have always had a bigger bust than most, but I have never really been that big around the waist.... Yet I struggle to find decent sports bras that come in big cup sizes but are small around the waist! It is either big ugly bras which do not look cute at all...or trying squeezing them in a small but pretty bra that does not offer ANY support!

After walking into so may sports stores and walking out disappointed I finally discovered the holy grail in sports bras in none other than M&S!!! Now I have three wonderful and supportive bras from M&S, a couple of quite old now which proves they do last! If you would like me to do a full write up please do comment below!

Hope to hear from you all soon :)

30 day money cleanse

We all start January off feeling full of hope and optimism and with many New Years resolutions, but a week into the year and many of those resolutions will have been broken. This is why this year I am taking part in Personal Capital's 30 day money cleanse. With these small changes I hope to take charge of my finances! It is so easy just to spend all your wages in one go, especially after the early pay day in December with so much extra money it is very hard to be restrained.

Cleanses are a great way to hit the reset button on certain areas of your life. They help you break your bad habits and flush money toxins and set you up with a powerful plan for the future. A money cleanse is no different than any time of food or juice cleanse. With the simple 30 day plan from Personal Capital it is easy to get started.

These are a few simple tips I am using to get started!

Oooh a Malia

Last month I visited the beautiful Greek island Crete. I stayed in the small town of Stalis which although small had plenty of restaurants and bars to explore. Stalis is close to the well known town of Malia, typically full of British teenagers on their first holiday away from their parents. Malia has built up a reputation of being a "trashy" and "tacky" resort my experience was rather different. "The strip" was not intimidating and full of restaurants and bars to relax in. The clubs did not open until 2am so if you want some of at atmosphere but want to avoid the party scene I would recommend going out earlier. With two cocktails for 7euros it is very cheap! Just before the strip we discovered Drossia..this is the best restaurant in the area, we liked it so much we ate there two nights! All the food was local and freshly prepared it was by far one of the best restaurants I have been to. We also found a beautiful local bakery at the end of the strip which has so many delicious looking cakes and baklava (traditional Greek desert) they were a little pricer than the supermarkets but well worth it.
