Every Little Swap...


As I snacked on my beetroot, celery and gem lettuce salad it got me thinking about how good it makes me feel to eat 'clean'.
For the last week I have swapped ordinary tea for green, given up bread (white and brown) and heavy things such as crumpets and soda.(Although I did sneak in a Flake...)
I no longer feel the guilt after eating of "which part of my body is THAT going to go". It has been hard not to go rummaging through the cupboards for a quick instant snack but I just keep reminding my self it will all be worth it when you stop looking like a pudgy dwarf and more like a long legged beach babe- wishful thinking indeed!

So with the help of the internet and it's nice icons I have made a small chart of swaps to try and give you and idea of how my mind is working with food.

Review: Origins A Perfect World


















Where do I begin?
I'm an Origins virgin for starters, bit of a Body Shop lover when it comes to facial creams. I've been through the vitamin c one, the vitamin e one... all very nice smelling and pricey but I've been kidding myself that they are doing my skin any good for the past two years. The vitamin c cream makes me break out occasionally and the vitamin e one stings. TIME FOR A CHANGE.

Why Origins?
I'm sure if you are familiar with this brand you will know how many good reviews it gets, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I also find the 'free from crap' ethos appealing.

What does it feel like on my skin?
My face is divided into sections: My forehead dry and flakey yet prone to break outs.
Cheeks and chin are normal and sensitive to perfumes/colour etc and my nose is dry at the tip.
I apply the moisturiser after wiping my face with a perfume free face wipe and apply in small sections, the cream is naturally fragrant and smooth. It leaves a slightly greasy finish but quickly gets absorbed by the time I go to apply a BB cream.

Also if you adore the scents Aveda products have chances are you'll love this too, it smells herby with a slash of cool mint through. Smells like earthy goodness!

I have been using Perfect World for a few months now and highly recommend it for those with dry skin who are looking for hydration and a bit of anti ageing.
