Oh So Nice Cream

Ohhhhh Yeah.  Nice Cream.

Picture some palm trees, salted, frazzled, windswept hair and that moment of satisfaction, when a creamy coconut mango ice cream delicately hits those tastebuds. Well picture no more because Nice Cream can give you that momentary satisfaction *palm trees, salted, frazzled, windswept hair not included ;)

For those of you who don't know what i'm talking about, it's an ice cream that's nice.
Who am I kidding there's more to it than that! Nice cream is created by the lovely Tommy & James and although I don't know them personally, i'm sure their lovely because their ice creams are lovely and it's kinda in the title, so lets just roll with that.... I tried my first EVER Nice Cream today and it was such a refreshing sweet taste after a good Thai lunch. MmmmMMMmm s o m u c h f o o d ! ! !

Back to the ice cream though, it's dairy free, gluten free and egg free. Did someone say perfect? No but I just did! It's also "ethically produced using natural and organic ingredients." Can we please just take a moment to appreciate that. Although I'm trying to eat as less refined sugars as possible, I decided I'd let myself have this one because at least it's fair-trade, so I think I made a pretty fair call (pun definitely intended).

But hey if you're not into mangos that's cool too because they have a range of different flavours that includes chocolate and vanilla bean... and yes they all have coconut, which is great because everyone needs more coconuts in their life!

What's your favourite ice cream? I'd love to know! Anyone know of a great 'whole foods' one?

Annnnd study procrastination... done ;(

Clean Eating.. I'm sorry clean what??

Eeek first off I want to say so sorry for not having posted in a while! I didn't intend on this happening, been pretty swamped with Uni lately.. oh the joys of student life haha.

Now that that's all cleared up lets get straight to business... Clean eating.

I'm definitely no clean eating saint, I have my days where I have good intentions on eating well through out the day but then I usually hit a wall somewhere along the way and slip up. Especially when you're busy you can feel that it's hard to make time to actually prepare your meals properly.

I have been trying to get more into clean eating and what that basically means is eating real, wholesome foods a.k.a not processed crap. Im trying to eat as less refined sugars and less foods that have been stripped from their natural nutrients.

I thought eating clean would be really boring and bland but oh boy that is so wrong! You can still make a lot of the same meals and snacks but just substituting some products for healthier alternatives. Also there are sooooo many nicer foods that are so good for you that you wouldn't even realise, it's actually all so exciting. I literally feel so happy right now just writing about it... what a weirdo I know.

Also I would just like to make a point that for me this whole healthy eating  is not to make people to be 'skinny'. Everyone is built differently so it's about being healthy and strong on the inside out, looking after yourself and being the best you that you can be in every way. Why would you want to put something damaging into you? And the effects really do show up as a result, whether it be health issues, skin issues or your energy.

So along with healthy eating this lifestyle journey is about things that affect your mind, body and spirit as a whole.
