FRUITEATOX REVIEW

i wanted to start the new year off with a 'new me', like everyone does, but this time do it properly.
i started off quite poorly actually, as i was having a month off i had planned all these productive activies to do but obviouly thought lazying about would be better off for me...how wrong was i. at the end of the month i knew i was going up to edinburgh and also knew for a fact i would be drinking quite a bit up there, so i decided to purchase my fruiteatox just before i travelled and started my teatox straight after i came back.



i decided to purchase the 14 day teatox as i didn't want to invest in a longer teatox just in case it made no difference to my lifestyle. sadly i didn't keep up with the free online eating plan as i am quite fussy, but i did start eating a little better including substantial meals, drinking lots of water as advised to and ate less sugary treats.

after day 7 i did sort of become rebellious, i woke up late and forgot to take my morning lemon tea and had to pop out and by the time i came back it was too late, so the next day i started again.


the real reason i went on this was because i was lacking motivation plus i read that it helped your skin, not that i had bad skin to begin with but staying up 'til 3am watching copious amounts of tv was not good for my health in any way. i also wanted to lose a bit of weight, don't get me wrong i am a healthy size 10/12 but i was in need of losing a bit of the tum area.

the bedtime cleanse does in fact have senna leaves in it which are suppose to get rid of all toxins in your body and act as a laxative. i experienced this twice after drinking it. it's not a great experience to be writing down but i guess that's a part of the cleanse and i guess it shows that it works, right?

why fruiteatox? i don't know why i chose fruiteatox as i saw quite a few similar teatoxs out there but i think when i decided to do a detox, fruiteatox was in sight, plus lemon is one of my favourite herbal teas.

i didn't feel any initial difference but after drinking the morning cleanse i felt more awake, perhaps that was my mind convincing me that the cleanse was working? i don't know. i won't be buying it again any time soon but if so then it will be more towards the summer and to do it properly with the eating plan this time. i did in fact lose 4 pounds which is good but like i said i never had a strict eating plan, i sort of just ate normal foods with a bit of luxury here and there.
             
have you tried teatox? how was it for you? please share your experiences with me for similar or in fact the same teatox.

FEELS LIKE SPRING

i woke up to a fresh morning and decided i wanted to bake as i had nothing better to do with my day.
the sun was shining so i had the door open and cranked up spotify whilst i baked my sponge cake with a bit of decorating here and there. also it was just an excuse to wear my cute apron i received from a friend for christmas!

 


hundred and thousands all around the edges and cute daisies around the edge of the cake, the butter icing on top is actually a pastel blue but the photo doesn't actually justify that unfortunately.
as you can see i was feeling quite S/S...

JANUARY HAPPINESS.

every month i like to gather everything that has made me laugh until i cry, cry until i laugh but most of all just made me feel generally happy.
this could be anything from a song to a gif i saw on tumblr...
here goes;

so, you may all be thinking why the latest One Direction album? well, i knew i needed to listen to it but never got round to it and whilst i was up in Edinburgh i listened to this album, non stop but simply because my best friend is obsessed! i can't even stop listening to it now; 18, stockholm syndrome, girl almighty and clouds are my absolute faves!

the best thing spotify ever did was 3 months premium for 99p!!! 
i hopped on that purchase straight away, currently enjoying non ad music.

little words of encouragement, who doesn't need them ey?

i have always been extremely slow with keeping up to date with new music or films but eventually i do end up jumping on the bandwagon and catch up. 
so, since i had a whole month off from work i decided to watch American Horror Story from season 1 right up until the last episode of Freakshow....WOW, why did i not watch these to start off with? i could be here all day explaining my love for all 4 seasons but i shan't bore you, but if you have not seen them yet, then do so! 

what has made you happy this last month? was it the same as my above, if so please share your thoughts on AHS or if not, please share your happy thoughts and links if you have.
