A First Time For Everything | Sushi at Overseas



When it comes to trying new food I'm a teensy bit of a stubborn person, and so my boyfriend, best friend and sister have been attempting to persuade me to try to sushi for over a year to no avail. But, when I headed to Los Cristianos in Tenerife earlier this summer I realised that I may as well push myself out of my food comfort zone as I was doing it with so many other things over the week that I was away. Unwilling at first to try "proper" sushi, i.e. that containing raw fish, I went for a chicken tempura california roll topped with mango, and it was heavenly (Yo! Sushi really need to get some of this on their menu!). When we returned to this gorgeous restaurant however, I pushed the boat out a little with some smoked salmon and cream cheese maki, as well as some mango maki.

All in all, I'm so glad that my first attempt at sushi was at Overseas Restaurant, and I'm waiting to find somewhere in the UK that lives up to the flavours and quality of presentation we experienced here.

Topping Up On Nutrients | Raaw Juice Powder








Green smoothies are the perfect start to any day in my mind, but sometimes they get a bit dull and need a bit of extra zing to keep your taste buds interested. This pack of Raaw Juice Go Green sachets really hit the spot. They're crammed full of nutrients, and make the smoothie a little sweeter, which is great for someone who's got a bit of a sweet tooth (whoops!). Plus, the powder is great for making cute little pictures with, like the bunny I did above during Easter. 
Here's what each sachet contains:
Apple
Pineapple
Wheatgrass
Barleygrass
Coconut Milk
Chlorella
Kale 
Spinach
Coconut Water
Stevia
Silica
As I'm lactose intolerant and my boyfriend is allergic to nuts (not the best combination, I know), I'm always on the lookout for things that avoid both, and this Raaw juice powder manages to do. Plus, not only is it dairy and nut free, but also gluten, egg, soya, wheat and mustard free as well as being suitable for vegans. Although it comes at quite a hefty price for seven sachets - £9.99, Holland and Barratt (where I purchased it from) have such frequent sales it is often available for a lot cheaper.
What is your favourite supplement to put in smoothies?

Summer Boho Hype | Boho Moon Jewelry







Early last month I came to the sudden realisation that I don't actually own very much jewelry at all, and don't even own any rings! So, I set out to change this, and wanted something really pretty for my holiday in June. This and a little instagram stalk led me to Bohomoon, and here's a little glimpse into what I picked up:

Choker: Entwined Love
Anklet: Buddhism
Rings (left to right on bottom picture): Lotus Flower, Wishbone Midi ,Open Hamsa

All in all, I lvoed the simple, elegant style of everything I chose, and for the cost I was so pleased with how beautiful the packaging and pieces were. The rings have barely left my hands since and are such a lovely accompaniment to any outfit. Now that I spend far too much of my time on their instagram page, I'm also so hyped to think about trying pieces from their brand new selection!

Have you tried any of their jewelry before?
