Hi Everyone,

If you happen to follow my blog you will know I am a huge fan of intermittent fasting. I recently discovered 16:8 intermittent fasting which incredibly, helps to lose weight while you sleep! I decided to give it a go and so far I have lost 2kg/4.4lbs by following the simple fasting basics for just over a week!

I have been doing the new 5:2 diet by Michael Mosley on and off for a while and am seeing some steady results, losing around 2lbs/.9kg a week which is a healthy progress. There are so many health benefits involved with intermittent fasting, apart from the obvious weight loss. I have wrote an extensive article on it here. read more

Hi Beauties,

I have been hearing great things about the Acure range for some time now. I happened to come across the Acure Brilliantly Brightening facial scrub recently and seen a few top reviews. I decided to check it out for myself and I have to say I am so impressed! I normally read the reviews on a certain product before buying just to see what other people are saying and if it will be good for my skin type and so on. I was amazed to see such a high volume of top ratings online, mainly 5 stars and lots of people singing their praises. The Brilliantly Brightening facial scrub was one particular product that appealed to me, so I went ahead and bought it. The range is reasonably priced so that is a huge plus point for starters. It is suitable for all skin types. read more
