3 favourite things



So as October is drawing to a close and making way for the winter months and, more importantly, the build up to Christmas I thought I’d do a little round up of 3 of the things I am loving at the moment.

The best way to drink coffee



I’m going to say it… I like coffee. I really do.
It’s amazing how easy it is to attach guilt to certain foods or drinks, but as with anything – it’s all about balance - moderation people!

Last year in a nutshell


So, a couple of years ago I started writing, and then it sort of just trailed off. The last year and a half have been busy, eventful and well, I just haven’t felt the need to put pen to paper, or hand to keyboard or whatever you want to say.
2014 was mostly eventful because, well, we got married!

Let me introduce myself...




I’m Mel, proud to be blonde, equally proud to be from the North West of England with a passion for food, family, fashion and fitness.
I try my best to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle – emphasis on the word try, double emphasis on the word balanced – because there’s nothing at all wrong with allowing ourselves a treat, a slip up or even a week off every now and again.
And that right there is the reason for this blog – to highlight the fact that a balanced life is a healthy life, and here I’ll write about anything I see that will help to make healthy choices that feed the body, the mind and more importantly the soul!
Hope you enjoy and feel free to drop me a message, ask me a question, whatever!
