B's Bakes: Raw Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream

 

Is it just me or does ice cream stir up some serious flashbacks?

 

Maybe it's because it's such a seasonal delight; a nod to the sunshine filled summers of our childhood and windswept trips to the seaside with sand in hair and hair in mouth. Mushed up with jelly, at children's parties and trips to the ice cream parlours on visits to America where the toppings were more exciting than the flavour you chose!

Moisturising In-Shower Salt Scrub

Don't get me wrong, I love a good pamper night but, when the weather is this hot the last thing I want to be doing is sitting in a steaming bath and spending hours slathering on the lotions and potions when I could be sprawled on the grass outside in the sunshine.

However, the heat also calls for far more skin to be on show than usual and this requires some form of maintenance. Enter my In-Shower Salt Scrub. With just two ingredients this scrub is ridiculously simple to make and will leave your skin super silky soft with no further moisturise-ation required.

Let's Catch Up: A Letter From Me to You.

Hello everyone!

It has been some time since my last post and so I thought it only right that I fill you in on where I've been, what I've been up to and why I have been silent for so long...

A Foodie Trip to London: Day 2

Day two of our London trip was all about the shopping! So. Much. Shopping. Because, if you can't buy it in London, then where the hell can you?

A Foodie Trip to London: Day 1

Every year my mum and I head to London for a girl's trip away together involving a lot of shopping, gossiping and, of course, food. This year was no exception.

How to Drink Less and Still Party Hard

It is a bit of an ongoing debate: "To be truly healthy can you still include alcohol in your diet?" Certain diet plans say yes whilst others say absolutely not. Once I found out I had PCOS I did my research and the same advice kept coming from all angles - cut out sugar, in as many and all forms as you can and, yes, this includes alcohol. The problem was, and this was probably a massive contributing factor to my PCOS in the first place, I am an out-and-out party girl.

3 Oils and Different Daily Uses for Them

When I was a teenager I used to think oil was the devil. I hated the taste of it on my food, the texture of it on my face and couldn't BARE the idea of using it after a shower before getting dressed for the day. However, when I turned the meagre age of 12 I suddenly had a huge growth spurt (I know, young right?) and was one of the first people in my year to develop stretch marks, acne and well... everything else. It was around this time that I began to research what I could do to diminish the deep purple scars that were showing up all over my body and, thus, my love affair with oils began.
