Weight Loss Journey
Orlistat is a fat-blocking drug designed to treat obesity and i’m taking it as part of my weight loss journey to get down from 135KG to less than 100KG. Orlistat works by blocking the enzyme that breaks down fats in your diet. This undigested fat then passes out of your body in your bowel movement. Orlistat does not block the absorption of calories from sugar and other non-fat foods, so you still need to restrict your total intake of calories. So I am currently eating 3 meals a day (some days I do have snacks and try my best to make them as healthy as…

Things to do in the North East
This is my first post in a series of cafe reviews I’ll be bringing to my blog! We are now visiting a lot more of them than before and I thought why not add them to my blog! If you’re a fan of good cafe food, you need to visit Cake Stories at Hoults Yard. You might have already heard of Cake Stories as they have another cafe in Jesmond, Newcastle and one in Gateshead. They also do pretty epic looking “Letterbox Bakes’– where you can get brownies and cakes through your door! Which I have to admit sounds an…

Dog Friendly Reviews
Are you looking to buy a backpack harness for your adventures with your dog? We have wanted to for awhile and decided to opt for the Trespaws small dog backpack harness. Albie is an adventurous little dog who loves nothing more than being down the woods sniffing and exploring. We normally carry everything in our bags but sometimes it’s easier for Albie to carry his stuff when we’re out adventuring. So Rob decided he needed to get him his own adventure backpack. Whilst shopping in Trespass for his own gear, he saw the Trespaws small dog backpack harness and brought…

So let me share with you two of my favourite eco friendly products that they have released.

The Aldi Lacura Silicone Facial Cleanser has to be one of my favourite purchases of 2021. We all know Aldi are infamous for their dupes of far more expensive brands and I knew it wouldn’t be long until I found something I’d been looking for. My skincare routine has become more important to me in the past couple of years. I’m really trying to take better care of my skin, so I decided to take a leap and purchase the Foreo Fofo (the name still makes me chuckle). It was an expensive investment for me, but I thought my skin…

*Trigger warning* this blog post talks about eating issues, weight loss, mental health issues and suicidal thoughts. Please note this blog entry is a 4am ramble from the heart. True words that I’ve never written before. I know there will be others who feel similar. I’ve been wanting to lose weight ever since I was a teenager. I always felt overweight and massive compared to other girls, looking back on my size 10/12 frame, what I didn’t realise at the time, was that I simply matured quicker than others and had a curvier figure. What I would give to have…
