Healthy summer snacks

 One of the nicest things in the summer months is a refreshing ice cream or a fresh sugary lemonade on a scorching hot day. If there are a lot of those kind of days well then I'm gonna be gaining some pounds and that is not what we want is it now? So I'm going to show you some of the snacks that I like eating in the summer time.



Frozen Grapes:

Some of you might think I'm crazy but let me explain: If you have a sweet tooth like me then you'll love these! They remind me of ice cream, the Callipso kind. Sweet, cold, refreshing,and very satisfying. Just put a bowl of them in the freezer and leave over night. The next day you'll be left with these small individual portions of goodness. After dinner put them on the table and they're a worthy replacement of ice cream. This will work well with green as blue grapes.

I've also used this 'technique' on blueberries and it worked just as well.


Vegetable Dip:

If you crave salty things then this one is for you. It's probably something you've already heard of but I really enjoy eating this, even for lunch. Chose your favorite raw vegetables and chop them up in strips so they are easily dippable. I really like carrots, cucumber, cauliflower and red or yellow peppers. Then for the dip: take cream cheese or mayonnaise ( the light version), and mix it with low fat or regular Greek yoghurt. To season you can add salt and pepper to taste also some chives would be nice.

                                                   Chocolate covered strawberries:

You might be thinking chocolate? Well yes, if you dip them in dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate they'll be healthier. Always a crowd pleaser these ones! Simple but effective.



Lemon/mint water:

Not technically a snack but it's still a taste-a-like of lemonade. Not really, but I'd like to think so. It's refreshing especially if you add ice cubes. Great during lunch/dinnertime or great for cooling down after a hot walk in the sunshine. Another thing to add to your jug of water is mint. With or without the lemon, it tastes great either way. Here I used mint as I didn't have any lemons in the house.


 So these are a couple of nice and simple things for you to snack on during the warmer months.


Hope you enjoyed reading this blogpost and I hope to see you guys soon.

My go-to perfumes


As a teenager I do sometimes worry about my body scent. Sounds weird huh, but I just do. All of the time I'm on guard to make sure I'm not getting smelly. A solution is deodorant or perfume.

Disclaimer: I'm by no means a professional perfume fragrance describer.


There are 2 perfumes I've been wearing constantly. Unfortunately they're not cheapest.
Marc Jacobs Honey
30 Ml



The first one is the Marc Jacobs Honey perfume. First of all the packaging of the M.J perfumes are adorable! The first time a got a whiff off this I knew I had to have it in my life and O my gaawwdd that stuff is addictive!  It's very fresh, but it has a sweet edge to it. It kind of reminds me of honey but not as sweet. I'm smelling it right now and I tell you, the next time you're in a place that sells this, take a whiff! You'll bee sold! I wear it in the day time and night
 time! I think it's more of a summer fragrance but if you wanted to you could wear it all year round. Sadly, I cannot afford to buy this immediately after I run out so I'll have to be extra sparing. 


A well loved Chanel perfume! 50Ml
The next one is again a perfume in the pricier side of the spectrum. It's the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette.
 Again, I'm completely head over heals about this perfume! So fresh, clean but yet young and sweet. It's a fragrance that shouts spring/ summer to me so perfect for this time of the year! (I would still wear this during the winter though!) 

These two perfumes will forever remind me of my teenage years. If I smell these in 10 years time I'll get a flashback to my secondary school years.

So if you're hunting down you're spring/summer fragrance then definitely check out these ones!
