Meal Prep Sunday and Healthy living

After months of saying 'I'm going to start being more healthy' 'I want to lose a little bit of weight' and not doing anything about it, I have finally kicked my butt into action and got some fresh motivation. I've been noticing more and more lately just how much weight I have put on over the last few years and, honestly, I've never actively done anything about it until now. I genuinely love it when I see women who are so comfortable with their body and how they look (no matter what their size) but I'm just not one of those people and it's getting me down more and more as time goes by.

2017 trip to Finland

So as my new annual tradition I travelled to Finland to visit Tessa and Tara. I appear to be going there earlier and earlier in the year; 2015 was in July, 2016 was in June and this year was April-May.
This year I went there to celebrate Vappu which for those of you who don't know is May Day. The first of May is celebrated by everyone but especially the students, who past and present wear the white graduation caps (You'll see them in the pictures below)
The traditional drink (non-alcoholic) is called Sima, if you saw it you would not want to drink it, honestly it does not look appealing but tastes so much better than it looks and they also have a traditional snack which I do not know the name of or what it is but it tastes like deep fried sugary goodness and I loved it.

Book Review: The Girl Of Ink & Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

It was the cover that first made me want to read this book, then I read the blurb and felt compelled to buy the book. Boy am I glad I did.
