Recent obsession; Pu-er tea!

I LOVE PU-ER TEA ( 普洱茶) !!  I've always told my family how I really like the taste of the tea we get served in Chinese restaurants, but I never knew what it was called... Until recently.  My Family and I were in a restaurant in Hong Kong and the waiter asked "What tea would you like to drink?"  "Pu-er" My grandmother replied. Then my eyes lit up with happiness! (I wonder why I just never asked...) My hometown, being a small town, had no Chinese or any Asian supermarkets nearby but now, being in Manchester, I have easy access to Chinese supermarkets!  This container full of tea cost me £3.30. Initially, I thought that it was pretty expensive and having other items to purchase as well, I had to keep count of how much I was spending as I had very limited cash on me (I'm a card carrying kind of gal ;P) and the supermarket only takes cash. (Are all Asian supermarkets like that?!)  Anyway, I now realized that the tea will last f...

Green smoothie & Fruit smoothie!

Hellloooooo! I must say, I have a love for fruit and also a big fan of vegetables too! So what better way to have them than putting them together and blending it up! YUM! (please say yum ahaa) Earlier today I went down to Tesco and bought a whole load of fruit and veg and decided that i'll just experiment and mash thing together in a blender and hopefully it'll taste good! Green smoothies are a great way to introduce or just get greens into your diet. (Especially if you have a fussy child who doesn't like to eat vegetables.) Imaged below, I have shown three smoothies but the two shots of the green smoothie look pretty similar T.T but the consistency was slightly different. Green Smoothie with scrambled egg. (It was my breakfast)  Berry Smoothie The green smoothieeeee All I have to say is that if you haven't tried it yet, GO TRY IT! They are absolutely delicious!! Look how pretty it looks too!  Smoothie 1: 1/2 avocado (Thickens whilst adding goo...

Kilo off *Review* My Fitness Pal APP!

Hello! I've been trying to loose weight for a super long time but never have been really committed to doing it because I'm pretty lazy =P ... Yesss, I bet your thinking the same thing ;) ... As I was in Hong Kong I saw tons and I mean TONS of weight loss supplements (darn should of taken a picture!) and after much consideration I decided to try some (because there was an offer ;D) I was drawn to kilo off as there was two type - pill form and sachet form. I went for the sachet form as it you only need to take it once a day and the pill one you get a morning pill, an evening pill and a night pill, they all do different things but I wasn't too keen on taking three as I'd probably forget. I thought this would be a great idea for starting off a weight loss programme! Before I tell you my story I will tell you the deets of the product. Each box comes with ten sachets so if you can so the math - three boxes will last you a month-ish! The instructions on the box say di...
