Thanks to Jen Robinson from Life Wrangling for this guest post. Sometimes when we make a decision to eat healthier and to look after our bodies better, it’s the little things that can make us come unstuck. For example, walking into the pantry and seeing shelves of unhealthy food is not going to help us maintain our commitment to a healthier life.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been on a decluttering binge fest. Thanks, Peter Walsh.⠀ And boy, does it feel good. 😊⠀ Everything is getting cleared out. The spare room (which hubby and I affectionately call “the room no one speaks of”) is currently the dumping ground for everything that doesn’t have a place – it’s getting a massive overhaul.

At work, colleagues would ask if I had a cold (I didn’t), as I sounded so nasal all the time. It got worse at times with extreme bouts of hay fever symptoms, scratchy throat, blocked nose and irritability – I now know this was due to…
It was CHOCOLATE week in the UK last week – and chocolate week is always a good thing! 😋🍫⠀ So to celebrate, we’re sharing our latest gooey chocolatey find.⠀ But before we share the love, did you know that there is a difference between Cocoa and Cacao powder – and one is better than the other?⠀ According to iquitsugar.com, raw cacao powder is made by cold-pressing unroasted cocoa beans.
