Munich Men, Oh my...


OK, I would like to firstly reassure you that my sole purpose of my trip to Munich was not to scout the local fitties, however, it was an added bonus. When in a nightclub on one of the nights, I couldn't help but see the large quantity of beautiful local talent there was surrounding me. Unfortunately ladies, these men may be aesthetically pleasing but they seem to know it too. Apologies that the blog has been a bit stale recently, both Alex and I have been busy with work commitments.

Saying that, there will be a few new additions this week as I have lots to catch up on with you all...

This weekend I went to Munich to visit a friend I met on a tour around California last year. It was fantastic to see her again and its amazing how you can be apart from someone for that long and things feel like they never changed. The weather was glorious reaching highs of 34 degrees!!! (Sorry for those that were stuck in the rain back home)

Being a newcomer to the German way of life, my friend decided to take it upon herself to make me the biggest tourist alive and I'm talking the biggest. Think Open Top city bus tours- check, sitting in a beer garden outside and drinking beer cause you can- check AND sampling the finest meats and pretzels known to man- check CHECK!!! (diet went to pot slightly, but you're on holiday- don't judge!)

Enough of my rambling, a few snaps to follow of my fabulous weekend, hopefully this gets some of you in the mood if your soon to be fleeing England in search of some sunshine or for those that are here praying that the sun one day this summer will have its hat on... xo

Summer slimming



As we all know, it comes round to that time of the year where we regret not putting in extra work at the gym in the winter. The sun comes out, shorts get shorter and the bikinis come out, especially on holiday...

First year of uni is the worst time to lose weight or stay fit, (well, it has been a struggle for me!) You go out, you drink and you suddenly get the munchies for everything going in the takeaway which does nothing for the figure. So... with that said, I have taken it upon myself to invest in a personal trainer this summer. I know not everyone can afford to fork out for a trainer and trust me I can only afford it thanks to my summer job. But anyway some key tips he's already taught me about being healthier is

1.BREAD AND PASTA are a complete NO NO!







2. Try to stay away from dairy products, especially in your cuppa. Change it up for a green tea, so much better for you!



3. Jog, jog, jog! It is an all around body workout. Keeps you in shape- try do a good jog once a week!




Watch this space, I will keep you all updated with how my summer slimming is getting on and if your trying to get fit too, then go for it! Get motivated and hit the gym, or just walk more, take the stairs or whatever you can. Trust me, I hope it pays off in the long run and I'm sure it will...
