Yv Takes Cape Verde!

img_0074

Hey Guys ,

I am backkkk! I’m so excited as I’ve just recently returned back from a beautiful holiday and just trying to get into a good routine for myself.  As some of you may know I visited the beautiful island, Cape Verde which is off the northwest coast of Africa. I went on the trip with two of my friends from university. It was something we had planned for a while and it would have been our first holiday together after being at university together.

Our hoilday was booked for 7 nights, staying at the beautiful Crioula Club Hotel and Resort in Santa Maria all inclusive and we was more than ready for it.

​Some things we got up to on the island was quad biking, going to the beach and interacting with the locals who were the friendliest people, so welcoming and more than happy to help with anything.

 

There was so much which we did and saw, this blog post would be about 5 pages long if I wrote it all. I would defiantly recommend visiting Cape Verde but I would suggest in a couple of years as it’s an island which is still being developed with so much potential. There are so many water sports to do to fill and week or two , bars, restaurants and local parties which were all very entertaining.

 

Look out for my Cape Verde Swimwear Haul coming soon as I purchased some really nice pieces at affordable prices.


Let me know in the comments if you have ever visited Cape Verde, or if you would like to go. Let me know what holidays you’ve been on recently, I would love to know.

With Love, Yv x

Five Guys- First Impression

So guys, I do believe last bank holiday or the one before I took a trip to Nottingham with my friend to see one of our friends at university. We had such a lovely weekend. Really chilled, girly.. loads of food and just a good relaxing time. To end the trip we went to Five Guys. This was something I was looking forward to sooooooooo much. Yes I am a Five Guys Virgin, well I was. I’m not really a burger girl and it’s never been somewhere I wanted to go and eat but as some of you may know I want to try new things out this year. The set up in Five Guys has a real American feel with food quotes all over the walls. You can see your food being cooked and it’s not a long wait at all.

The good thing about Five Guys is that you can add as much as you want in your burger, you make it to want you want. I was really pleased with this as I think that’s why I’m not a burger girl because you can’t add all the extra trimmings you want and I added a lot of trimmings.

Preparing…

I have been eating much healthier, looking after my skin and going to the gym. Although this is in preparation for my holiday this is always because I want to do these things and take time for myself to make sure I look and feel good.

What I want to do in Cape Verde…

I really just want to relax with my girls, enjoy the constant lovely weather with no worries. I want to go out and explore the villages and go into their local towns and embrace their culture. I also want to do all the water sports like jet skiing etc and maybe also experience an night out at a bar.

 

Fashion Inspo…

Whilst preparing for this holiday, I have been browsing through all the online stores on the internet. I haven’t acutally bought anything for holiday yet, and it approaching quite fast but I have been seeing what’s out their and the current trends. I’m trying to see what kinda of look and trend I want to go for on holiday. Here are a few holiday looks from some online stores I’ve come across.

Healthy Life vs Fatty Life

Hey guys ,

Today’s post is all about how the last two months or so I’ve changed my lifestyle and my bad eating habits (Mcds is still in the equations on a cheat day) lool .


 

Fatty Life 

Looking back I can name this period of my eating life fatty. My weeks use to consist of work, fatty foods and sleep. That was literately me week in week out. This was the period of time where I was trying to get my life in order, make a structure as i wasn’t feeling myself , down all the time etc. I believe this all adds to being in a negative space and eating junk food. No exercise was involved apart from walking to and from my car lol . My fatty food diary consisted of …

  • Mcds
  • KFC
  • Subway
  • Carbs ( a lot of rice )
  • Chocolate ( which I never use to like but I blame working in an office )
  • Late night snacking on biscuitss, picking out if the pot leftover dinner , crisp and more

One day I just thought that’s enough now Yv, there’s enough food to go round and also the fact that my holiday was approaching &&&& I had put on weight ( you know it’s true when your close friends start telling you lol).

I decided to sign up to the gym again and change my eating habits. I always thought it was all about the gym but still ate this crap food and wondered why I didn’t see any difference, and when I did see a slight change I would stop going to the gym and that had been my cycle for about 2 years now. Well I was so over that lifestyle.

Bye bye takeaways, junk food and the delicious bonofee pies which I could finish to myself … Hello


Healthy Life

I know what you all must be thinking, if you’ve been doing the same sh*t and then just gave up, what’s different now ?

Well this time it’s for me. It’s because I want the better looking and healthier version of Yv. I want to feel good and look it. Other than body and health wise I do it for my piece of mind aswell. In the gym I feel as though I can put all my worries, frustration and stress out on the gym. It’s time with myself to think things through, reflect and sort out moves for my life, just like I plan what kinda session I’m gonna have, same thing really. Working towards something I want and finally seeing results and sticking to it is whats’s it all about & that’s key, sticking to it. When your working towards anything and you see the good results, it’s a great feeling and accomplishment and if you carry on, do more,you’ll only get better results. (Soz I went off topic there lol back to the food)

So my new healthy diet consist of a lot more vegetables, fruits, gallons of water , chicken, eggs, sweet potatoes and more.

Some of this might not sound the tastiest, having the same kinda meals day in and day out but it’s all about the way you cook it and what you pair your meals with. I try and have a bit of protein, carbs and veg in all my main meals and no carbs after 8pm.

 


Well lets hope I stick to it this time because I’m really not in the mood to go back to that unhealthy sad lifestyle. So far so good. I’m seeing so much improvements in my skin, body, mood and more & I’m in a happier place. Let me know some healthy foods/snacks you enjoy.

With Love Yv, x
