Dreamy Skin with Skin Renewal

October 23, 2017 1 Comment

Since I wrote my post about Leaky Gut and how I have been managing it with the help of Dr. Graham at Skin Renewal, I have been getting tons of questions on what I have been doing to decrease my breakouts and keep my skin as clear as possible. While changing my lifestyle and diet played a huge role in easing my symptoms and all-round unhappy skin-tone, I have also been going for regular treatments at Skin Renewal which has made the world of difference in fighting existing spots and lightening stubborn pigmentation. Today’s post is a bit of a mix of my top 5 treatments from the clinic and how they can make the world of difference to you.

Crunchy gluten-free goodness bowl & chicken quinoa stir-fry

September 30, 2017 No Comments

Maintaining a social life, boxing, blogging, working and studying full time while taking care of my diet has perhaps been one of the most challenging things I have ever done. Because I am constantly busy, I don’t always have the time to make something healthy every day and, since having to cut out as much gluten from my diet, thinking about what to eat has been causing more harm than good. Since being forced to be creative with my food choices, I have found myself making various kinds of health bowls and stir fry’s during the week which I can conveniently grab and get on with my day. The two I have been making the most however is a crunchy gluten-free goodness bowl & chicken quinoa stir-fry simply because they each take less than 30 minutes to throw together and you only have to wash one pot!

Since making the effort to cut out processed foods and sugars, I have been trying to come up with as many healthy treats as possible to keep me going when the 3pm slump hits. One of my absolutes favorites so far has been these amazing quinoa brownies. This has been the third time making them for the past month and I only just remembered to snap some images before eating the entire bunch. Packed full of healthy ingredients, these brownies will boost your energy, satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you full until supper-time comes around – plus, they could not be any easier to make!

The most delicious gluten-free bread & superfood coffee

August 31, 2017 No Comments

Since I went (mostly) gluten free about two months ago, the one thing I found myself craving the most was bread. But, ever since I was told that bread or any gluten containing product act like glass in my stomach, I have been on a mission to find tummy friendly varieties that taste delicious and most importantly, doesn’t harm my stomach lining. In this week’s collaboration with Organic Touch, I will be sharing my favorite bread pre-mix from the store as well as the most delicious and perhaps healthiest coffee to go alongside it (Healthy coffee? SIGN ME UP!!!)

The Epitome of Fine Dining at La Belle Bistro & Bakery

August 19, 2017 No Comments

I recently had the pleasure of tasting the new La Belle Bistro and Bakery menu in Camps Bay just three days after it was rolled out to the public and quite simply put, it was the best damn thing ever. Everything from the minute details in décor to the wonderful staff makes the restaurant one of the most perfect places you could possibly imagine dining. Plus, with the icy blue Atlantic as your view coupled with the class and quiet extravagance that the KOVE collection is known for, you are bound to have an utterly unique and delicious experience.
