Lifestyle | Mimosa Filled Breakfast Bash

I love eating out and brunch is particularly exciting as it is something I rarely ever do. It's like a special occasion meal so when Paperless post reached out to me asking what my ideal brunch would entail, I was excited to get planning!

If I was planning a brunch for more of a special occasion as opposed to a standard weekend get together, I would first send out invitations. Paperless Post has a great range of invites that you can customise and download or print. There are even invitations by designers such as Kate Spade which is exciting as she is a big favourite of mine. I particularly liked these 4 designs as they were all very simple yet quirky and classy. If I was having a girls brunch, I would definitely use the bottom two designs, as the top two are more gender neutral. Don't come along to any of these brunches though as you will disappointed when no one is there!

       

Lifestyle | Healthy Dipping Alternatives

I love dips, sauces and any foods along those lines so I'm delighted to collaborate with Chobani again to share healthy ways to mix up the original 'chips and dip'! The options for suitable dipping foods are pretty much endless, even more so with sweet and savoury flavours. I have chose all savoury this time round as it's just that little bit easier to keep on the healthy side. 

Lifestyle | My Morning Tips!

For this week's post, I was given the fantastic opportunity to collaborate with Rachel's Yoghurt! I am very much interested in healthy eating so I highly recommend Rachel's products as they are not only organic but they contain no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. I love when I have a day off and I can take my time to start my day. Here is a little insight to my 'lazy morning' routine and my tips to to get your day off to a great start. 

Lifestyle | Healthy Snacks to Achieve that Coveted Summer Glow

I have to admit, I love a good snack. There is nothing I absolutely love more than shopping for healthy snacks. I'm not entirely sure that I can claim they are guilt free as they are so good that I usually eat twice as much...

I have loved dabbling with trying alternative vegan snacks lately so for this post, I am delighted to collaborate with Nuts.com who have plenty of ideas for healthy snack inspiration. They offer nutritional facts and recipes for you to try. Here are my own healthy snack ideas to try in order to achieve that summer glow:

I love savoury snacks and there is a great selection of healthier crisps out there.  A particular summer favourite of mine this year has been Trafo's Potato Chips. They are baked in coconut oil which has tonnes of benefit for your overall health. (You can even incorporate it into your beauty routine!) I have recommended them to friends who weren't overly keen as they do taste slightly oilier than regular crisps but I think they are a great product. I would be lying if I said I hadn't eaten a whole bag of these in one sitting before...

Lifestyle | How To Throw An Indoor Summer BBQ

It is officially BBQ season and for this post I have collaborated with Chobani to share some tips on how to throw a great BBQ! As I live in the UK, it can be very seldom that we actually get a proper summer to have BBQ's. Therefore, I am going to share a family BBQ recipe that you can cook indoors incase the weather takes a nasty turn on your BBQ plans!

Lifestyle | Graze Sharing Bags.

I'm back! I feel like I have been disconnected from my blog for quite sometime now so thought it was about time I got writing again! In this post, I am going to share a little goldmine I came across last week (thanks to Gabriella Lindley) which are Graze sharing bags. I love the idea of Graze boxes but in all honestly, for the money I didn't think there were enough snacks that I enjoyed as I am a pretty fussy eater. The portion sizes were also rather small which truly makes the sharing bags a game changer.

American Food Thoughts!

My sister and I recently stumbled across some absolute bargains when we found an American Candy range in Poundland! If you are reading this outside the UK, Poundland is a store where everything costs £1 which is around $1.56 in the States. We literally were so excited to find these items as all imported foods in the UK are ridiculously overpriced. Therefore, we went a little overboard on stocking up on some snacks... Similar to the American Candy videos on YouTube, I thought I would share what I thought of each one! I am yet to try the Marshmallow spread as I rarely eat toast and if I do I usually spread butter on it but I have summed the rest up for you all:
