My Journey to a Healthy Lifestyle - Week 1

I thought I'd start something different on my blog and after been thinking for a while, I decided to record my journey to a better and a healthier lifestyle.  I have always been very active when I was a child; I was in any sorts of sports except Volleyball and Basketball; I was so in love with ballet and I danced for a while.  But, since I came to London for study - it seems that all of that active lifestyle has just gone into drain.  I know it is such a cliche to blog about this because it is something that most people are experiencing around the globe. 
I came across bulimia when I was still doing ballet, I tried so many different diets but nothing seems to work.  
After so many years of the failure and one day it hit my head that it is time for be to step up and to take control of my life.  So, I joined the gym, met amazing people but something still seems off.  It took a while for me to figure out that I will never forget about dancing so I decided to quit the gym and take up on pole dancing.  One most important thing is I decided to change my diet - altogether.  
So, this week is my first week of eating healthy and here are few things I had for my meals.  They are very easy to prepare and it will only take maximum 30min of your time.  Healthy and yummy foods really don't need to be complicated. 

My typical breakfast: 
 
Protein Pancake: 3 egg whites, 2 egg yolks & protein powder + berries
 
Spinach Scrambled Eggs topped with Smoked Salmon
Berries Smoothies
 My lunch for this week:
Bed of Salad, Mixed Nuts, Grilled Salmon and Olive Oil
 Typical dinner:

It isn't easy at all as I love my food so much but when you decided that it is time to nurture your body and your health, you only have your mind to convince that you can do it. 
I motivate myself by following few amazing athletes on instagram and always keep myself active.  I do miss gym but it is not the only place where you can get your workout done.  Once you know what you enjoy keeping yourself active - everything will fall in to place. 
Have a good day gorgeous xoxo

October Purchased

Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you can get mostly every

One outfit + 3 different style of shoes

Day off and sun shines are something I couldn't asked for more.  I started off my day with a great workout at the gym, before heading out to meet up with a friend.  I decided to wear my new top that I bought from ZARA which is currently on sale.  I have never been a big fan of 'knitwear' because I always feel that knit material can look unflattering on me.  However, I decided to give it another try and to be very honest I am actually loving it.  The cut is flattering and I want to look very casual on my day off, therefore I mixed it with a pair of Jeans, flats and a hat that I received from my friend, Kate Michell.  I also decided to plait my hair because it was too hot and humid. Due to the unpredictable weather in London, I never forget to bring a cardigan just in case if it gets cold all of a sudden.  I love this outfit because I think it is very versatile as you can wear it from day to evening without looking too casual or too formal.  In addition, this outfit is
