Graze Box.

 

Towards the end of last year I subscribed to Graze - a company that sends you 4 carefully selected healthy alternative snacks in a box delivered straight to your door. Considering that one of my New Year's resolutions  (a link to 'My New Years Resolutions' will be below)was to start being healthier, I thought I'd share with you what the Graze box is also about and what I like about it.

 

I am subscribed to the 'Nibble Box' where you can choose from the maximum variety of snacks and it really gives you a chance to try out everything. I chose this one because I didn't have a clue what to pick at first as there are loads of different ones to pick from, e.g. chocolate box (balancing chocolate with wholesome snacks), Sugar count box (every snack is 10% under your RDA of sugar- so that it's easy to keep track of) and the breakfast box...well I think you'll be able to guess what's in that one :)

 

Graze is brilliant at being in control of when you want your boxes, for example my subscription is for every 2 weeks. However, sometimes I forget about them and I'm then swimming in Graze boxes for a week. When this happens I simply 'book a holiday'. No, unfortunately this doesn't mean that I pack my suitcase and travel to the Bahamas while my cat feasts on healthy snacks for a week. It means that I can tell Graze that I don't want my box being delivered for a couple of weeks (this is also great if you are actually going on holiday).

 

Graze's snacks are delicious. Being a real desert fiend I particularly like the flapjacks, Graze's heavenly brownie and the snacks that contain chocolate :) However, I have also been loving the 'Super Berries',  'Jalapeno Hot Chips' and 'Brilliant Banana Bread with Dates and Hazelnuts'. Mmm...

 

Also Graze always seem to be doing brilliant offers. Giving you vouchers and offers to try your first box for free is what they do. S keep an eye out in magazines and on television. I first tried my Graze box with a voucher out of a magazine.

 

Lastly, the box that your yummy snacks come in is so cute and 'natural' looking (idk) you can't help but give in to being healthy. Give Graze ago-trust me it isn't all seeds and nuts. There is a really wide variety of tasty things on offer. There's definitely something for everyone.

I love Graze because of it's wide variety and consistency of tasting fabulous. It also allows you to still snack throughout the day but with delicious alternatives that keep hunger at bay. And with you being able to pay through direct debit, it makes it very easy and consistent- no messing about with credit cards every 2 weeks.

Book Review| Girl Online by Zoe Sugg.

 

When Zoe Sugg a.k.a the amazing beauty blogger and vlogger Zoella, realised a book it was to be of no surprise that I would be purchasing it- and that I would love it.

 

I have literally just finished reading 'Girl Online'. Oh my goodness I am in awe. I love it!

Girl Online has given me a great insight as to what it is like for people who live with Anxiety and have panic attack on a constant basis. It has made me more aware of how bad it can make you feel and I am quite grateful of this.

 

Not only has it been educational but I really love Zoe's development of the main character 'Penny' throughout the book. I'm not going to go into full details about the plot and what happens because you should go and read it because it is brilliant. But the twists and turns of the unfolding plot is truly literary genius and I think I may have just failed my new years resolution of being positive and nicer to people because I have just thought of so many hateful things to say to Megan it is unreal.

 

I think it is safe to say that Noah has been added to my list of fictional characters I have fallen in love with as well as Elliot (yes I know he is gay).

 

There's something about this book- I don't know what it is. But every time I finished reading that part for the night it made me feel happier. I know this sounds stupid, but it made me feel grateful that I live a normal, healthy life. It made me feel more positive and that some things can't be changed and that's okay. It's okay if I may have failed my media mock exam today. I'm alive, I'm healthy, My family are fine, My friends are great. And that's all what matters.

 

Let me know below if this book made you feel this way. Or any book. I'd like to hear what you have to say,

Stars.

On New Years Day I wrote a poem called 'Stars', I don't know I couldn't think of a better title. If you can then please leave a comment below I'd love to here it. So here goes...

 

Stars.

 

Glittering in the night sky like wishes in a well,

They've heard a thousand secrets and a million spells.

They hold the key to so much history,

Whilst we hold the lock of pure consistency,

We look up to them in our hour of need,

But are they really all they seem?

Or do they clutch our unfolding story,

Of all our grief and all our glory.

 

 

That's all I've written so far but I'd be very happy for some feedback and some ideas for a better title. Thanks for reading,

Happiness Jar.

At the beginning of 2014 I started something called 'A Happiness Jar' which I saw on a blog in late December of 2013. It's a jar in which you write down things that make you laugh or smile throughout the year: good times. And then at the end of the year you open the jar and read about how much has happened over the year. All those brilliant, priceless times you've shared with family and friends and of course those ridiculous times, when you sit back at the start of January and laugh about what you wrote on the paper in front of you.

 

I have kept doing this throughout the year (surprisingly) and tonight I opened my jar. It was such a lovely thing to look back at; all the lovely times I had in 2014 including meeting 5 Seconds Of Summer, going to various concerts and gigs and laughing so hard it hurts with family and friends. It really helps to make you feel more positive about 2015, which was one of my New Years Resolutions.

 

It's really made me think that however I might be pessimistic there are good times in life that we have to look forward to. These are the times worth living for. Like that famous quote 'Remember the little things because one day you'll look back and realise they were the big things'.

 

I hope you try this in 2015. I really enjoyed doing it.

New Years Resolutions.

New Years Resolutions:

 

-Take more photos. I've just had a bridge camera for My Birthday (Nikon Coolpix L830) and I already love and study Photography as a GCSE and this year I want to document everything. From random long walks to holiday adventures. Your coming everywhere with me this year.

 

-Write more posts on here about my experiences and opinions. I think this would be a good opportunity for you guys to actually get to know me. So expect me to be more opinionated this year. Lets get talking about those big topics and controversial issues.

 

-To eat healthier. Isn't this one of everybody's resolutions every year? Seriously, though I am going to give it a good go at eating healthier and food types in the right proportions.

 

-To drink more water. This one kind of relates to the last one but it's just as important. Drinking more water can help your skin flush out impurities leaving it clear, clean and glowing, whilst also replenishing your energy so you can cope better with your busy schedule.

 

-To start jogging. I began jogging last year a bit whilst also walking. This year I want to become a lot more fitter and be able to go on jogs most nights.

 

-To be more positive. One of my best friends is always so positive and optimistic that has inspired me to try and be a bit more like her. Not everyone hates you. In fact I bet it's a very very small minority. 2015 is the year when I have to start being more positive. This year I want to put myself in situations where I don't feel comfortable. Stepping out of your comfort zone is good sometimes you know.    :)

 

I hope this has inspired you to think about what you want to accomplish in 2015.

Update..

Hi guys, I'm just posting to apologise how I didn't update that much over Christmas. This was because we had a bereavement in the family and I just didn't feel like updating. Well to be honest uploading  a post was the last thing on my mind. So I'm going to ignore them posts and start a fresh.

Anyway, Happy New Year beautiful creatures I hope you had an amazing night last night and I wish you all the best in this upcoming year, 2015. Where has the time gone?! All what I keep thinking about when somebody says 2015 is how Marty and Doc go to the future in this year and where the hell are all those cool inventions such as hover conversions, hover boards and hydrated pizza. I need these in my life. For any of you who don't know what I'm on about I'm making references to the 80s film Back To The Future. (comment if you want to fangirl with me about this amazing film).

This year I'm planning on making this blog even better. That means posting lots more, using more social media to interact with you brilliant readers and maybe, just maybe starting a Youtube channel (but that would be later in the year). Speaking of what I want to happen this year, I'm going to be sharing my ''New Year's Resolutions'' with you. In the hope that I can maybe persuade you to make a statement on the first day of January that by May you have completely forgotten about :)

Let's hope I stick to these ones more than I did last year,

Leah-Marie xo

 

Oooooh Guys over Christmas I have also made an Instagram account so you can go and follow me on that if you want, to see what I'm up to. My name and link will be below.
