Eat Your Way Fit

EAT YOUR WAY FIT


Bonjuer you beauties,

So this post is all about eating clean and keeping keen!  Spring is the perfect time to overhaul your food and exercise routine. I've always been in love with being completely make up free, healthy skin and hair and that requires effort!


Illness & Me

It's no secret that since I was a teenager I've battled like crazy with being pretty darn I'll and feeling stupidly tired. (This has brought bouts of feeling down as unfortunately its been a blooming long time.) I do know though that if your eating really healthy it does have a big affect on us though inside and out, so if your similar to me and struggling with illness or well just wanna improve your heath, here is a helpful read and tips!


KNOW YOUR FOOD FACTS

They say knowledge is power and it really is... for me learning that the average person has 20,000 chemicals that are unable to ever be broken down in the stomach....it scared me....a lot!  See a lot of people don't realise that eating processed foods like microwave meals and having food allergies is filling your body with inflammation. Your basically poisoning yourself every time you eat processed foods. It is very heavily linked with things like anxiety,mental health,chronic illness,hormonal problems,cancer,diabetes and literally the list goes on... I'm not saying your be completely healed by eatting good foo but it can help, so if your feeling a bit pants, try some of these tips and see if it helps.

WHERE TO START AND JUICING

Buy a juicer and try a juice fast. Sometimes people feel pretty ill in the first 3 days of trying this but sometimes it's just the body trying to adjust. If you feel really rough and like you can't hack it you may have a slightly weaker immune system like me and you may need to ease your way in. Eat real meals and juice one meal a day. This is what I do. Usually juicing my breakfast. Remember this is still prob wayyyyyy more fruit and veg then you would eat usually.

So I know what your thinking you said about no processed food...that's like nearly all food.
True it is more effort eating healthy and it takes more thinking and time but if you feel rough enough  and you wanna improve your body enough and you start seeing you stomach stop blotting you can DO it! If I can you can do it you can....I literally used to eat 2 chocolate trifles for breakfast and cake for lunch. HELP!

Who knows you may even see an ab or two.gulp!  Maybe try a new sport. In the last week I've been jogging for the first time. It's killing me but its fun to try new sports.  Don't expect results straight away though..it takes 6 weeks to see changes!

How to spot if 'YOUR A MERMAID IN THE CITY' & 'DRESS LIKE ONE TOO'

HOW TO SPOT IF YOUR A MERMAID IN A CITY!

Sadly not all mermaid's can live by the sea...(Just mainly those lucky Australian girls you see on Insta with those perfect six packs, green smoothies for lunch,strawberries for breakfast being fed by their romantic surfer boyfriends and that perfect sunshine!) Help Me I can't cope with it...
but of course we all follow one or two... Our insta motivation on another pants grey weather day in London, Paris,New York or wherever you are................? 

So anyhow's how to spot if 'YOUR A MERMAID IN A CITY'?! 

(Answer these questions below 
and see if you find yourself going YES YES YES!)


1. You have dyed hair that's trying to be red like Ariel or maybe it's pink or blue or its gone a kinda 
weird brown colour where its been dyed so much!

2. People get sick of you moaning about summer...

3. All your wardrobe consists of Hot Pants and bikini's which you keep just in case you get that           ' Record Heatwave summer' that the radio presenter has been promising for the last 5 years.

4. You spend half your life stalking hot surfers Instagram's.

5. You've put lemon on your hair before because you have heard it goes blonder in the sun.

6. When your at peoples house's and you spend half your time sat on the nearest radiator.

7. You can't concentrate at work or school because your planning when is the quickest time you can earn enough money to leave your job and go on your next travelling trip...(another excuse to stalk instagram for *cough* places to go surfing!)

8. You don't brush your hair and its full of knots because you just don't see the point, I mean did Ariel brush her hair? I think not!

9. Your hair, getting to your waist is your ultimate life goal.

10. Your hair has gone green before because you spent so much time in the local swimming pool practing kicking with your legs together like a fish!

11. Water is the ultimate lifesaver, you can't drink enough of it and your paranoid of getting old if don't drink 2 litres a day.

12.  Being barefoot is how you spend as much time as possible and these days you can't even be bothered to wear heels out.

13. People sometimes describe you or your clothing as,"wacky,out there, bright, unusual," or use expressions like "Hmm wow, only you could get away that".

14. You response is usually, "your lucky I'm wearing clothes as i'd rather not be."

15. Right now, your dreaming of a white beach, drinking water out of a coconut, in a shell bra...


HOW TO DRESS LIKE A MERMAID IN A CITY!


I've included my favourite bits from www.adventurelanduk.com this week and how to add a bit of mermaidness to your outfit!


MERMAID HANDS AND ARMS

Our vintage Starfishy Bracelet and ring is a must and lets like its just been found on the ocean floor! £13 for the set

I have teamed them with our Under The Sea Stick On Jewels in Mermaid Aqua. You can get two sheets of these for £6.00. These really are gorgeous and you can cut,size and stick where you like. 


You will just need to peel off the front, use a wet cloth and stick down. Perfect for festivals or jazzing up your outfit for a night out.
Lastly, I am wearing our little Seahorse Rings to complete the look. Our deal at the moment is you can get 2 of them for £7.00.

MERMAID HAIR AND EARS

Hair is important when pretending we're mermaids and our cute Shell and Starfish sets which are only £4.50 set just the right spot! I teamed them with my disco Dolphin earrings which look not quite perfect as I only have my earrings pierced at the top but are so cute and sparkly £7.00. The whole look is completely with our mermlife leotard which is completely durable and can be worn on a night out out or doing sport or is even made so you can go swimming!

Hope you enjoyed my MERMBLOG and had a little giggle and now all have serious MERMMAIDVIBES!

Love and sparkles!

GUYBROWS AND WINTER SKIN

So todays blog,I chose to write about two things that I like to think I know about and love! I love eyebrows and thanks to Cara everyone is loving them too!





1. How To Deal With Unruly Eyebrows.

This kit is from Collection and is 5.99 and honestly I think its awesome. I use the middle shade, the lighter brown but not the lightest shade.

I also discovered, Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara which is pictured next to it. 4.99

http://www.boots.com

Honestly, if you have eyebrows and you wanna enhance them or you just want some eyebrow's, I can not recommend these products enough. I give 5/5 stars for both these products. I 100 % won't recommend any products in any of my blogs, I don't believe in and use myself.

SKIN TIPS

"Skin oh Skin,"... my favourite subject.. having had, pretty good skin through out my teenage years, yes  I was one of those annoying lucky ones... (although I was always seriously careful what I used on it) THEN 2 or 3 years ago ..BAM! Hormonal acne...! HELP!

In the last 12 months I've managed to combat this and now I'm not really having any breakouts apart from a couple, of spots at that horrible time of the month for us girls.

I really do feel, you have to make your skin good from the inside. For me personally,
St Johns Wart and Acidophilus tablets have saved my life and skin.....(yay no more moody slightly depressed Lo!!!)

You can grab St Johns Wart for 6.50 from Tesco http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=268307066

I also make sure I take acidophilus every day. Seriously full of good bacteria .... Provides 3 billion active cultures per capsule!!!!!  
http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/holland-barrett-mega-potency-acidophilus-capsules-60001540 Its 11.99 and worth every penny.

Aside from this, I swear by green tea and green smoothies.


CLEANSE,MOISTURISER AND OIL ME UP!!!!



So every day, I start the day with my Boots Tea Tree Foaming Face Wash! I love it and notice if I don't use it for a few days I then start getting a few pimples pretty quick. 3.59  http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Tea-Tree-Witch-Hazel-Foaming-Face-Wash-150ml_1213604/

I then use L'Oreal Intense moisturiser
http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-Triple-Active-Nourish-Intense-Hydrating-Moisturiser-Dry-to-Very-Dry-Skin-50ml_1222356/        4.33

& three times a week,  I use this little star buy! I LOOOOOVE IT!  Trilogy ROSEHIP OIL 16.99 http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/trilogy-rosehip-oil-100-organic-60076391?c=triogy

And then twice a week I also use this.....Decleor Aroma Cleanse which is pictured next to it. 20.63 It's my investment product and seems to last forever. I've given the link to the place I found it for the cheapest to buy. (I LOVE seeing all my dead skin come off!) haha! http://www.allbeauty.com/productPaging.php?productId=6370&ref=%7Badtype%7D&utm_source=%7Badtype%7D&utm_medium=FREE&cm_mmc=%7Badtype%7D-_-Free-_-Listing-_-6370&currency=GBP&country=48&&gclid=CMPm0ZKrtMMCFQgcwwodeCEAQA



    WAKE UP AND MAKE UP DAT FACE!

On my skin if I'm going on a night out or going for lunch with the girls, I usually use BB CREAM (in Shade (Light/Clari)  9.99 http://www.boots.com/en/Garnier-BB-Cream-Skin-Perfector-For-Sensitive-Skin-Light-50ml_1277270/

Under the eyes...in the winter I've been using Maybelline Fit ME. 5.99 (My bags are much worse in winter and in summer I can't actually use this shade but while I'm so pale it's perfect!)  http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Fit-Me-Concealer_1279343/

Every make up artist has these two in their kit....their 100 % must haves... I can't get enough of MAC SOFT AND GENTLE SKIN FINISH
 http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/products/spp/shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT159&PRODUCT_ID=PROD30735&SKU_ID=SKU55526

And SLEEK CONTOUR KIT IN SHADE LIGHT  6.49
http://www.boots.com/en/Sleek-MakeUp-Face-Contour-Kit_1395740/
I usually use these two products together. I only use the bronzer out of the kit and mix it with soft and gentle!

Thats about it for this blog post, I enjoyed getting some vitamin D this morning in the garden to take these little shots! All products featured have the links to where to buy and are pictured. 
Let me know, if you find any of these little tips helpful and if you want me to write about anything in particular! I've got the next blog post lined up to be about WEEEERK OUT/FITNESS TIPS.

                                                           Love and sparkles!

New Beginnings

Hey, Hola, Ciao,

Im Lo :-) and welcome to my new blog! 

I want to write about:

Outfit ideas OTTD
Places To Travel
My adventurelanduk item of the week.
Work Out Ideas,Tips And Sports
Healthy Food
Women that inspire me 
 I'm also happy to write about things you would like me to write about?? Let me know


Here's a really quick history lesson on who I am (YAWN!)

I own a little company called www.adventurelanduk.com

I grew up on a little holiday island called Tenerife.This fed my fascination with the ocean and its creatures. I was a total wild beach girl and my nickname was Mowgli. As a teenager we moved back to London where I was signed as an Agency model. I have currently been working as a model and in marketing for about 6 years! I adore all sorts of sport and think sporty girls are so motivating! From skiing to horseriding to football seriously can't get enough of it.

"Adventureland was thought up while I was on a job shooting a princess fairytale book. I thought about how much I would like all girls to have that feeling that you get when you dress up and feel like a princess!!"

I like to think of Adventureland as a affordable place where you can live out part of your own fairytales.

My next blog post and my 1st proper post will be on fitness,health and workout.

Lots of Love & Sparkles

Lo xoxo
