A Healthy Way To Start The Day

If you read my New Years Resolutions post, you will know I want to be healthier this year. Not that I eat that badly, but I want to think more about what I am eating and feel generally happier with my body. 

With this in mind, I have started by tackling breakfast; the most important meal of the day. Instead of  just having toast or skipping breakfast, I have started having granola with yoghurt (and sometimes a little bit of honey or some fruit), delicious

Breakfast: Granola with Yoghurt and Honey. Coffee.

I have discovered Rude Health 'The Ultimate' granola which is the perfect mix of oats/spelt/barley and nuts (almonds and hazelnuts). This granola doesn't contain any fruit and therefore has a low sugar level compared to most granolas. I like to have my granola with plain yoghurt; any type will do really, just whatever you prefer.

2. Dashing Santa // Bath Bomb (£1.45)
'The citrus essential oils in this satsuma-scented bath bomb will put a spring in your step. Drop into the water and watch Santa fly.'






3. Melting Snowman // Bath Melt (£1.10)
