Review | Hotel Chocolat Easter Collection

After finally trying Hotel Chocolat for the very first time last year, falling in love with it, and the chocolate becoming my new favourite, I haven’t been able to get enough of it. My husband took my hint from my blog post and bought me some for Christmas (!), and recently I actually managed to go into a shop and I could have stayed in there all day just looking at all of the pretty looking chocolate, but obviously that might have just been a bit…weird. Anyway, when I was asked if I would like to review something from their Hotel …

It is even more perfect served up with a slice of garlic bread. Ingredients (serves 4) 6 lean rashers of bacon with all visible fat removed 1 garlic clove, crushed …

A year in reflection | 2015

by StaceyUpdated on November 15, 2019January 4, 2016

The year of 2015 ended up being a really busy, eventful year for us. At the beginning of the year I had decided I’d had enough of being fat & unhealthy and I just didn’t have the motivation to lose weight on my own, so even though I was dealing with quite bad anxiety at the time but inspired my friend who shared her story over on the blog last summer, I headed to my local Slimming World group and have routinely shared my progress. I can honestly say that it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. In …
