Quick Diet Tips

If you are thinking of trying to loose weight, here are some tips to help you. I don't want this to be seen as promoting being skinny but if you have decided that you would like to loose a bit of weight for whatever reason it is. Remember all shapes and sizes are beautiful and you shouldn't be forced into dieting if that's not what you want to do or if your happy, your happiness is what's most important.

1) Start to slowly reduce your daily intake and increase your exercise. In order to successfully loose weight, unfortunately you have to do exercise and change your diet. Firstly, if you snack a lot then reduce it by a small amount then the next week reduce it a bit more and if you don't exercise then start by doing small bits, like walking for 5ish minutes or running so far that is achievable then the next week increase it a bit more.

2) Don't skip meals and make sure your meals have enough energy until you next eat. Skipping meals will make you hungry and will make you snack and it could lead you to gaining weight or not loosing any. Many people in the mornings don't feel like eating but it is important to because of this reason, try to have something very simple such as toast or cereal to get you back into a habit of eating in the morning.

3) Don't think starving yourself will make you loose weight. As soon as you next eat you will just put it all back on, I'm not too sure of the reason why this is but what is the use when you will just put the weight back on?

4) Moving from your normal body temperature to either hot or cold. It hasn't been completely proven that this will help you to loose weight, but for example simply sitting in the cold for a few hours has been said by some people to make them loose weight. This is because your body is changing to try to keep your body temperature normal and so it can help you loose weight. If you're always in the cold your body will eventually get used to it so it will no longer be effective but every once in a while it can be.

5) If you're bad at dieting then have one day a week where you can eat more or not exercise so you can look forward to something so it makes it a bit more achievable.

I hope these tips were useful

Yankee Candle Review : Lavender Vanilla Travel Scent and Pink Hibiscus Candle

(I want to firstly apologize for the low quality of my photo's, I didn't have my camera so I had to use my phone, I'm so sorry because they look terrible)

Lavender Vanilla Travel Scent 
I'm not too sure whether it's actually called a travel scent but it's a scent and it's for travelling so why not?






















I'm not actually going to use this for travelling but just to give my room a bit more of a nicer smell (I'm not going to go into details but the sink in my room has become blocked and gives a stale smell to my room)

I love lavender and vanilla smells so I thought that this would be such a lovely smell and it is! It's so great because when you smell it, you can smell both lavender and vanilla clearly and it actually confused me a bit at first because I didn't think it would be like that. To me it smells as though the vanilla is a bit stronger than the lavender but it's such a nice smell.

You have to slide it open and there is this clear gel-like substance which the smell is coming from and I had read that it is for small places when you're travelling, however my room is quite big and I can smell it when I walk in but it is much stronger when you are near it.

Pink Hibiscus Candle
This is going to be a present for a friend so I can't review it when I have lit it, but just simply on it's smell.






















When I smelt it I had to basically put my whole face in it to smell it and I must have looked weird in the shop.... but anyway. I was thinking for ages how to describe the smell because it is quite a sharp but pretty smell and I realised that it is a bit similar when you taste a raspberry, it is sweet but it also has a sharp taste. I can imagine that when this is lit and the smell fills the room that it will help to bring a simple smile to your face because it is a pretty smell to lighten your spirits a bit.

Hope you enjoyed this review~

Pick of the Month: Korean Brand Heeum

Recently I discovered this Korean brand called Heeum (pronounced like: hee oom) and I found out that they employ former comfort women to help create the artwork for their products and around 70% of the profits are donated to former sex slaves in the Korean district of Gwangju. Heeum the Classic was brought around to remind other's of the comfort women's stories and to help bring attention to all women's issues.

This sweater is my favourite and I'm hoping to order this somehow, I'm not sure if they will ship anywhere out of Korea let alone the UK. This is from another website which sells their products.






















I love styles of clothing that usually have a main point but are relatively plain which is why I love this so much. Navy and white are colours that, to me, really go well together which is another reason why I'm really into this style. It also comes in 2 other colours which you can find here

I found out from this as Youngjae from the kpop group B.A.P wore it in a recent video they filmed (far right)













The website which sells Heeum the Classic item is here , clothing is not on this website but they do have bracelets, bags etc.


Hope you enjoyed~
