<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Since moving to Austin I’ve spent alot of my spare time checking out cool restaurants, bars and food trucks. </h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></div>
Eating out is definitely one of my ultimate favourite hobbies. I decided it’s time to start documenting my <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/search/label/Eating%20Out">eating adventures</a> again just as I did when I lived in England.<br />I’ve discovered that Austin has an amazing selection of tacos, BBQ and Mexican food however I’ve been disappointed with the lack of options for good authentic Thai food. I guess I was spoiled when I lived in Leeds, UK because we had not one but three amazing Thai street food <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2016/03/6-restaurants-you-need-to-try-in-leeds.html">restaurants</a> pretty much across the street from where we lived. With another two outstanding more upscale Thai restaurants within 20 minute walking distance. I love food from different cuisines around the world but I crave good Thai food the most.<a name='more'></a>Luckily <a href="https://kruaaustin.com/">Krua Urban Thai</a> has opened on South Lamar and they invited me to sample of their food.<br />
We ordered four starters and two mains between two people, I know it seems excessive but I wanted to try as many things as my stomach could handle so I could get a good idea of the food quality and make recommendations!<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
The Starters</h3>
We had <b>Shrimp Spring Roll, Chicken Satay, Som Tum (Papaya Salad) </b>and<b> Tom Yum Koong soup</b>.<br /><br />Thai Papaya salad is my ultimate favourite salad. A well made Som Tum is like a dance party for the taste buds. Any Thai restaurant that can do this salad well will have my repeat custom. I’m pleased to announce that I was not disappointed! It had just the right amount of garlic, lime juice, and peanuts. Be warned though that this salad usually comes extremely spicy so I asked for a milder version, it still packed a good chilli kick but it wasn’t an uncomfortable hotness. I really cannot fault this dish and have been day dreaming about it ever since my visit ( If you’re wondering why I would be craving a salad just try it and you will know what I mean!).<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<br /></div>
The chicken satay and spring rolls were both delicious and seasoned well. The boy (my foodie partner in crime) really like the peanut sauce served with the Satay chicken, it seemed sweeter than other sauces I’ve tried. The Tom Yum soup was pretty good but it was not as aromatic as I was hoping.<div>

The Mains</h3>
We had a <b>Thai Red Curry (Gang Dang)</b> and<b> Krua’s Spicy Noodle</b> as these dishes were recommended to us by our server.<br />Thai Red Curry is one of my favourite dishes and I’ve always enjoyed every variation of Thai Noodles I’ve ever tried, so I knew I needed to check if this place can satisfy my cravings. Spoiler alert: it did. Both dishes left mine and the boys taste buds very happy. The ingredients were fresh of high quality and the dishes achieved a perfect balance of herbs and spices. In fact it was so good most of our conversation during the meal was about the food!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Krua Thai looks small from the outside and honestly you could easily miss it if you were walking/driving past it, I almost did! But it's more spacious inside than it looks.The decor and the finishes inside are very modern with accents of wood and metal. Atmosphere was social (but not too loud) with a mixture of friends catching up over food and couples out on dates. Taking in consideration the nice atmosphere and quality of food I think the pricing is very competitive with the mains starting at $9.50 going up to $13.50. </div>
<div>
<br />
Krua Urban Thai is definitely my new favourite Thai Food spot in Austin and I highly recommend you give it a try!<br />
<br />
What are some of your favourite restaurants in Austin? I'd love to check them out!<br />

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Last summer me and the boy went on holiday to Lithuania.</h2>
That’s where I’m originally from and he was curious to learn about my roots, and I was excited to explore the country as a tourist. Even though I was born in Lithuania I haven’t lived there for half of my life and never actually spent any time in the capital (Vilnius) so was looking forward to add that to my travel list. I was really surprised that in the whole week we spent in Lithuania we didn’t come across any English speaking tourists, or any tourists who were close to our age group. It’s seems that Lithuania is one of Europe’s best kept secrets. No one out of my group of friends has ever been there or know much about it (apart from what I tell them). <br />
<div>
<br />
I decided to write this post to introduce some of you to this gorgeous country, a country that I think everyone should visit and here’s 7 reasons why.<br />
<a name='more'></a><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<br /></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
1. Golden Sand beaches</h3>
This will come as a surprise to many but Lithuania has some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever come across. My favourite thing about the beaches is that they are lined by beautiful pine forests. You walk through a pine forest onto gorgeous white hills of sand dunes and baltic sea waves. <br />
<br />
A popular and bustling sea side resort is Palanga. There’s plenty of beach bars to grap a cooling drink and live entertainment once the sun goes down. If you want a more tranquil getaway Nida seaside resort is a much quieter option.</div>
<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<br />2. Delicious Food</h3>
<div>
<div>
If you’re a foodie then you should definitely add Lithuania to your list. The food there is dense and carb heavy. You probably won’t have realised just how many ways there are to serve up potatoes until you visit Lithuania! World famous ‘Cepelinai’ a type of potato dumpling stuffed with meat and served with soured cream and panchetta bacon sauce is to die for. The potato pancakes are also very tasty. There’s also lots of traditional soups, pickled herring dishes and ‘Kepta Duona’ which is an amazing beer snack or fried Rye bread rubbed with garlic. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
3. Lakes Galore</h3>
<div>
If the sea isn’t quite your thing then lucky for you Lithuania has about 3000 different lakes. I have so many fond memories of swimming in gorgeous lakes during hot Lithuanian summers. Like the beaches the lakes are also surrounded by magnificent forests. You can swim, fish, bbq and do water sports. </div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
4. Old Architecture and Charm</h3>
<div>
Vilnius Old town is one of the most exquisite old towns in Europe. There’s a lot of different architectural influences mostly in Gothic, Renaissance, Classical and Baroque styles but no one can deny that the buildings are gorgeous and the narrow winding streets are full of charm. There’s lots of little restaurants, cafes, boutique stores and galleries. It’s very walkable and very cosy. In 1994, Vilnius old town was included into the UNESCO World Heritage List so it’s definitely worth a visit!</div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<br />5. Lithuania Is Very Affordable</h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As it stands Lithuania is one of the most affordable European countries. You can grab dinner for as cheap as £5 and a beer for around £1-2. Even the nicer restaurants are significantly cheaper than eating out in the UK or USA. </div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<br />6. Great Beer</h3>
As well as the great food Lithuania is definitely a beer nation. There are so many different Lithuanian beer brands you can find in supermarkets and even more craft beers you can find in local bars. If you want good beer Lithuania is your place. I would highly recommend that you hit up a bar called ‘<a href="http://jususnekutis.lt/en/333-2/">Snekutis</a>’ in Vilnius. This place is a firm favourite with the locals.<br />
<br />
The bar itself really doesn’t look like much but it has some of the best homemade beer I’ve ever tasted. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
7. Visit an Island Castle of Trakai</h3>
Trakai is a little town pretty close to Vilnius (only about 30km away). It features a gorgeous historic castle on a lake. It definitely looks like something out of a fairy tale. You can walk around the castle, get a boat and swim around the lake and eat ‘<b>Kibinai</b>’ which is a traditional savoury pastry which originates from Trakai.</div>

Homemade smoothies make an amazing breakfast or a quick snack full of vitamins, minerals and other goodness. They're quick and easy to make and they taste amazing. With autumn aka cold and flu season swiftly on its way introducing smoothies into your daily diet is one of the easiest ways to boost your immune system. It's easy to pack an extra punch of superfood goodness into smoothies by adding some seeds and powders.<br />

Pineapple and Greens</h2>
I've added some supergreen powders to this recipe which makes this smoothie incredibly healthy.</div>
<div>
<b>Spirulina powder</b> has 3900% more iron than spinach and is rich in vitamins K and B. <b>Chlorella powder</b> is amazing for detoxifying the body and supports heart health. <b>Wheatgrass</b> contains all minerals our body needs and vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, l and K. <b><a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2016/03/health-benefits-of-matcha-green-tea.html">Matcha green tea</a></b> will give you an amazing energy boost and will increase your metabolism. You can add these powders to any smoothie but I found it worked particularly well with this recipe.</div>

<br />
First of all I'll start this post with apologising with the few weeks of radio silence. I've been doing some travelling with a break to Vegas and to Colorado (posts about both coming soon!) and I've also hit a pretty bad writers block...but (hopefully) I am well and truly back with at least one weekly post.<br />
<br />
During my teenage years I used to dye my hair all the time. I've had blond hair, blond hair with pink highlights, red, burgundy, purple, black you name it. I was really adventurous with my hair styles until one day during the last year of university when I was brushing my hair a big bunch of it started falling out and breaking off. That's when I decided so just grow it out and my adventurous fun hair phase was over. It was about a year and a half ago when I discovered a new treatment called Olaplex that I decided to get my hair colour again. I had a gorgeous blonde balayage which has lasted me a really long time but again it wasn't anything too adventurous.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Since I moved to <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2017/05/austin-tx-my-experience.html">Austin Texas</a> something inside me changed. I once again wanted to experiment with my looks. Within two weeks I had new hair and a new tattoo (not quite sure what came over me haha).<br />
<br />
I had my hair done by the lovely <a href="https://www.lindseymeans.com/">Lindsey Means </a>who works at the <b>Orbit hair salon</b> in East Austin two days a week. I told Lindsey that I wanted a grey balayage which she was really excited because she loves experimenting with colour.<br />
Me being me, I asked a lot of questions but she was super friendly and patient answering anything that I wanted to know. Lindsey uses Olaplex with every hair colour she does because it helps rebuild the hair and prevents damage during a lightening process. The condition of my hair feels virtually the same as it was before I bleached it which I think is incredible!<br />

We were aiming for grey but the end result actually came out more as a grey/blue colour. I actually was really happy that it did because I absolutely loved the colour! It made me feel like a mermaid (because mermaids would obviously have crazy cool hair). I did ask however, how come the colour looked a little different from what we planned on and she explained to me that the colour she mixed up had a blue and violet base but it can react to different hair differently and my hair doesn't take colour the easiest and that's why I ended with more blue overtones.<br />

For the first time if almost five years I did something fun with my hair, and I love it! If like me you're new to Austin TX and looking for a new hair stylist you can find more information about Lindsey and her pricelist on her <a href="https://www.lindseymeans.com/">website</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finding a hair stylist you trust in a new city is important and can be a little overwhelming. I will be giving other hair salons a try over the coming months and will ensure to include them here if I like their services.</div>

Life has been pretty exciting for me since I quit my job, gave up my apartment and <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2017/05/making-most-of-your-20s-.html">relocated to Austin Texas</a>! Probably one of the scariest things I've done to date and I can honestly say that I'm so happy that I did.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've<a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2017/05/austin-tx-my-experience.html"> been exploring</a>, making friends, eating great food and doing lots of yoga. The (temporary) move has been made so much easier by having the boy by my side. <b>We have been together for exactly <i>6 years</i> and people have been asking us for years when we would get married.</b> That question quite frankly was rather annoying because I was completely happy with how things were, I was in no rush. In all honesty it's only in the last year that the idea of getting married stopped freaking me out and I started feeling quite excited at the idea of the boy proposing. I guess it was just a natural progression and a sign of growing up. I started making wedding inspired pinterest boards and even looking at engagement rings with my girlfriends(lets be honest most of us do it...).<br />

I suggested that we go to watch the sunset at Mount Bonnel, one of Austins most beautiful spots as it was recommended to us by our friends as a "must do" thing. The boy thought it was a great idea and told me to made sure I brought my camera. As a travel blogger I didn't think anything of it, I take my camera almost everywhere I go! I love taking photos and I love being in photos, however Oli isn't usually too keen. That evening however we let me take photos of us without any protest then literally seconds later after the below photo was taken (sorry for the extra cheesyness!) he asked if I rememberd a little drawing he did for me when we first going out which said '<b>The Most Beautiful View Is The One I Share With You'</b> and I said of course! He then told me that he wanted that to continue and got down on one knee and <i>asked me to marry him</i>. </div>

It was a rollercoaster of emotions but mainly I was just so shocked, I honestly had no idea that he was planning to propose! Then the wave of happiness and excitement followed. I'm one of those girls who isn't into traditional engagement rings ( which I made sure I that I casually let him know one time we were walking past a jewellery store) so I've always been nervous about what ring he would get me. To my delight though I absolutely love it! It's delicate and minimalist and I can tell he put a lot of thought into it because he got someone to design it and make it. I can't stop staring at my hand!!</div>

I had been to a couple of music festivals before but never to Glastonbury, and it had been on my list for a few years. I remember the day that me and my friend decided that we were determined to go! We were sat in a boat converted into a pub drinking cider (instead of being at the library doing uni work…) and getting excited about the experience we were going to have.</h2>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
We spent hours googling videos of previous year performances, looking at photos and trying to work out the map of the festival. The following week five of us tried to get tickets at once and luckily one of our friends succeeded! Glastonbury tickets sell out in record time every year so we were pretty ecstatic to know that we were finally going to get to go.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
That year was my last year at university and it was a year full of emotional turbulence and uncertainty. Once I was relieved about having had finished all of my university work I was then having semi regular mental breakdowns about my future. I was out of the comfort bubble that is education and ‘officially’ a real adult, a soon to be graduate who was expected to have her shit together but in reality had no idea what I was doing. It was terrifying and exciting at the same time. <br />
<br />
Throughout university music was a really big part of the whole experience. Me and my best friends used to spend most of the little disposable income that we had on gigs. Gigs of bands we loved and new artists that we may had fallen in love with earlier that day. Sometimes it was planned sometimes it was spontaneous but we had countless nights dancing like crazy and laughing until our sides hurt. Each gig reminded us that we had Glastonbury to look forward to!<br />
<br />

<br />
The festival was so much more than I could have imagined. First of all I wasn’t quite expecting it to be so so big. It’s the size of a small city and I’m not even exaggerating. Me and my friends were there for 5 days and there was still quite a few stages that we didn’t get to see. It’s bigger than my home town, although the walking between stages is really not a problem as there is so much to see/ do on the way that you will barely notice how many miles you will cover on foot.<br />
<div>
<br />
<b>It’s called a Festival of Arts for a reason.</b> The whole time I spent there I felt as if I had taken some kind of a hallucinogenic drug (I definitely hadn’t) as everything looked so surreal. The festival organisers and their massive team of staff had put so much effort into make everything look so colour and beautiful that I am not surprised that it takes almost a whole year to prepare for it. <br />
<br />

<br />
Let me give you an example: there was one area called <b>District 9</b> and it genuinely looked like a post apocalyptic street. There was a block of flats half knocked down with a car crashed into it and smoke coming out. You could go inside the building and there were dubstep artists performing. Opposite that there was a run down ‘brothel’ like building which had trans dancers dancing in the windows enticing you in. Honestly I just remember my mind was blown when we came across it. <br />
<br />
Another cool example was the Greenpeace area, they had build the North Pole and there waas fake snow and a robotic polar bear walking around which looked very real! There is also circus tents, comedy tends, trapeze performances, healing fields and more.<br />

Have you ever been to a place that you’ve absolutely fallen in love with? Have you ever been to a place where you felt wild and free? A place where you could be yourself in your wildest form? Glastonbury was that place for me. After a hard year I let my hair down, brought out some crazy dresses to play and had an amazing time.<br />

The music at festivals is amazing but there’s so much more to them than that, there’s a whole greater experience and memories that will last you a lifetime.<br />
<br />
I have attended it again since in 2015 and can confirm that both times the atmosphere, there was amazing. Everyone seemed to let their inner hippie come out and play and the whole festival is just full of chilled, loving vibes. <br />

You can spend hours just people watching in the sun with a chilled drink in hand observing the beautiful and crazy outfits that people wear. <br />
<br />
You know all those clothes that you secretly love but don’t have the guts to wear? Well a music festival is the place you can rock those crazy outfits. Whether you’re a closet unicorn, hippie, goth or a lion you can be all those things and more at more at music festivals. Think bright colours, flowers, sequins and lots of glitter.<br />

Voucher angels have come up with an awesome <a href="http://www.voucherangels.com/2017/06/15/essential-guide-festival-style/">festival fashion wish list</a> and the best thing is that you can get discounts on almost all of them! If you aren’t planning on going to any festivals this year I’ve actually published two gorgeous summer and spring fashion wish lists full of my favourite trends this season for Voucher Angels which you can find <a href="http://www.voucherangels.com/2017/05/11/spring-summer-fashion-wishlist/">here</a> and <a href="http://www.voucherangels.com/2017/05/11/spring-and-summer-fashion-wishlist-part-2/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
If you haven't managed to get Glastonbury tickets (they do sell out at record time every year!) here's an awesome <a href="https://gogirl.co.uk/news-and-advice/uk-festivals-2017/">festival map</a> with dates and locations of the best festivals in the UK from <a href="https://gogirl.co.uk/young-drivers-insurance/">Go Girl Car Insurance</a>. I've been to Glastonbury twice and the first time we got a coach with fellow festival goers which took almost 7 hours and the second time around we decided to drive. We were able to set our own schedule and set off early avoiding all the traffic and crowds. If you have the option to drive or share a car ride with a friend I'd highly recommend it.<br />

<br />
The summer is well and truly here and since my <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2017/05/austin-tx-my-experience.html">move to Austin Texas</a>, I need good sunscreen products now more than ever! I find that a lot of sun protection products that I've previously used leave my skin feeling sticky, greasy and often make my skin break out in spots. I don't know about you but that's the last thing I want on a hot summers day. That's why I've decided to share with you the best sunscreen products that I've tried.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Before I get started I'm going to give you 5 reason why you absolutely should use sunscreen</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
1. It dramatically decreases your chances of getting skin cancer</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
2. It keeps your skin looking young - believe it or not the sun is the number 1 reason for premature ageing so if you want to stay wrinkle free for as long as possible, you best start using sunscreen</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
3. Keeps you skin tone even - sunscreen helps to prevent brown spots and skin discolouration</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
4. Protects you from sunburn - Sunburn is not only bad for your skin but it's also extremely painful.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
5. Sunscreen keeps your skin beautiful - Essential skin proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin keep the skin smooth and healthy, the sun damages them therefore use sunscreen to keep your skin gorgeous!</h3>
Okay, so now that I've convinced you why you need to be using sunscreen I can tell you about my favourite sunscreen range this season from Tropic skincare. I have briefly introduced you to <b><a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2017/05/my-skincare-favourites.html">Tropic Skincare</a> </b>in my current skin care favourites post, they're a cruelty free (yay) all natural vegan skin care and make up brand.<br />

<br />
They have released a range of all natural sun care range suitable for sensitive skin which I talk about in more detail below.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.tropicskincare.com/body-care/skin-shade-mineral-sun-protection.html">Skin Shade Mineral Sun Protection SPF 30</a> </b>- I've been using this everyday all over my body and I love it. It leaves my skin protected and hydrated without feeling sticky and greasy. It's rich in omega fatty acids and some exotic natural oils. My skin is naturally dry and the sun dries it out even more so having a sunscreen which is moisturising means that I have to apply body lotion less and keeps my skin and tan from peeling. I would say the only down side to this sunscreen is that it doesn't really have much of a scent.<br />
<b><a href="http://www.tropicskincare.com/body-care/sun-balm-spf-50.html">Sun Balm SPF 50</a> </b>- This sunscreen has been my saviour recently! It’s so small and fits in any handbag, taking up barely any space. I take it everywhere I go incase I start to my nose, shoulders or ears burning.<div>

<br /><b><a href="http://www.tropicskincare.com/tinted-skin-shade-facial-sun-protection.html">Tinted Skin Shade SPF 50</a> </b>- This is a sunscreen which acts like a BB cream, as it provides a light coverage leaving the skin looking much smoother and more radiant. If I have to pick my favourite product from the range this has to be it! I have always really struggled with find sunscreen that didn't break me out in spots and I've finally found it! It gets absorbed into the skin (although it takes a little longer to absorb than a regular bb cream) and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. If I'm having a bad skin day and want more coverage I just blend a little foundation with it before applying.</div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.tropicskincare.com/summer-goddess-shimmering-body-oil.html"><b>Shimmering Body Oil </b></a>- This is definitely one of the prettiest skin care items I have ever owned, the shimmer is gorgeous. This product is a blend of virgin coconut and golden jojoba oils with a natural vanilla bourbon scent. I love using after sunbathing or before I head out for the day or evening. It leave my skin feeling moisturised, smelling lush and I've received compliments on the shimmer on my skin before. I love it and don't want it to ever run out!<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.tropicskincare.com/cream-highlighter.html">Cream Highlighter</a> </b>- I have to be honest until now I haven't been very into cream highlighters, the couple that I've tried that just didn't seem to do as much as powder highlighters. I was intrigued when I saw this in the summer collection though and decided to give it a try. Much to my own surprise I actually really like it. It glides on the skin really easily and you need to use very little of it to achieve a strong highlighting shimmer.<br /><br />When it's sunny and warm I like to keep my make up very minimal and light, so often I will wear the tinted sun shade, this highlighter and a little mascara.<br /><br />Have you found any sunscreen products that you love this season? I'd love to know what they are!<br />

I used to tell everyone that it was my favourite city and that when I grew up I was going to move there forever. I think the language is beautiful, I love french cinema, in particular some of the films from the French New wave era and fresh croissants is the thing I miss the most about not being able to eat gluten. </span></div>

It seems like such an eclectic destination where I could find all of my favourite things. </span></div>

You can go on hikes, go kayaking or swimming in the crystal turquoise waters of lake Lac Sainte Croix. It’s known as one of the most beautiful places in Europe and I can definitely see why. I have officially added this place to my travel bucket list. Itinera Magica has another amazing <a href="http://www.itinera-magica.com/en/mountains-of-provence/">article about Les Gorges du Verdon</a> and other beautiful mountains of Provence so do check out her article for more inspiration.</span><br />

You might of read a <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2017/05/making-most-of-your-20s-.html">post</a> I published a few weeks ago where I shared with you one of my biggest life decisions so far and why I decided to do it.</h2>
It has now officially been a month since we moved and everyone has been asking me how I’m finding it. <br />
<a name='more'></a>The first two/three weeks or so were interesting, I really liked the city from the moment I got here, but I didn’t feel settled and nothing felt quite real. It’s a really hard feeling to describe, I guess there’s a lot for the brain to process when you move somewhere completely new. <br />

<br />
Now though, as I write this from one of my favourite local coffee spots (finding a good coffee spot is like an essential) I can honestly tell you that I love this city.<br />
<div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Austin is so eclectic with a very laid back atmosphere, the city's tag line is "Keep Austin Weird".Everyone here seems to be accepted and happy to be themselves which is awesome. </h3>

<br />
In my head I always imagined Texas as a big desert (I’m not sure why probably because of something I’ve seen in a film...), well I couldn’t have been more wrong! Austin is so lusciously green. Even the city centre streets have lots of trees, which get light up with fairy lights at night. They don’t have old Victorian architecture which I got so used to in England but they more than make up for it with colourful buildings full of street art and beautiful trees. There's a giant river which runs through the city and lots of man made lakes and natural pools so the nature lover in me finally feels content. <br />
<br />

Everyone I’ve met here so far has been so friendly and welcoming. Luckily the boy already has lots of friends here from work who are lovely and I’ve started making some friends of my own. I was worried that I would be bored and lonely but it’s actually been quite the opposite which is nice!<br />
<br />

<br />
Austin has so many <b>bars and restaurants</b> to choose from and we've had a great month of sampling what there is on offer! So much so that most of my dresses I brought here have actually become really tight...Which is less than ideal so I've been doing yoga 3-4 times and been trying to walk around. Everyone here seems to be really fit and active running everywhere with their dogs which is a good motivator to stay active.<br />
<br />
Austin is a much bigger city than Leeds, the city centre known here as downtown is way bigger but it still has a warm welcoming feel to it. There are also quite a few hip and cool neighbourhoods outside of the city centre and the one that is closest to us is called <b>South Congress</b> or also known as <b>SoCo</b> by some locals. South Congress is full of cute (but rather pricey) boutique stores, street food trucks and restaurants. It's colourful and usually bustling with people but the atmosphere is a little more relaxed that in downtown. Next street over is 1st street which has some cute little cafes and some good food trucks. <br />

<br />
<b>South Lamar</b> is another area which is very close to downtown and seems to be up and coming, with quite a few new developments currently in progress. There's the <b><a href="https://drafthouse.com/austin/theater/south-lamar">Alamo Drafthouse cinema </a></b>where you can order food and drinks from an impressive menu whilst watching the film. There's also some cute looking restaurants/cafes there but I'm yet to try eating there.<br />
<br />
If you're ever in Austin I think you have to experience the famous <b>6th street </b>for drinking. It seems that most people who live in Austin have the attitude of "go hard or go home" when it comes to going out on 6th street, especially on dirty 6! It's definitely an experience, ha. <br />
<br />
<b>East Austin</b> seems to be very artsy and cool, I haven't explored that part of Austin too much yet but I attended the <b><a href="http://www.renegadecraft.com/homepage/austin">Renegade craft fair</a></b> there, ate and played with kitties at <a href="https://bluecatcafe.com/">Blue Cat cafe</a>, checked out a couple of bars and went to a house party which was enough to convince me that I like that area a lot and need to come back to explore more of it.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJhLYlhViP4SpSvQdV9W9JAAW0UxstqPpPJu9SeK6W52Ss0OWWkZ-YXpRFgKaYpJ9FFkq5x0p0WSHwl8-Rlnl6gMCARBVv1sM9bz9JwDuSlc8aF9bcwic-R-6Yreai5-IOX5FH48wCk0/s1600/Austin_tx_blogger-14.jpg"><img alt="East Austin street art" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJhLYlhViP4SpSvQdV9W9JAAW0UxstqPpPJu9SeK6W52Ss0OWWkZ-YXpRFgKaYpJ9FFkq5x0p0WSHwl8-Rlnl6gMCARBVv1sM9bz9JwDuSlc8aF9bcwic-R-6Yreai5-IOX5FH48wCk0/s1600/Austin_tx_blogger-14.jpg" title="Austin Tx Lifestyle blogger" /></a><br />
<br />
Another street which is very popular for drinking is <b>Rainey street</b>. All of the bars look like houses from the outside, it's totally different from anything I've seen in England.<br />
<div>
They all have large front yards/ beer gardens which is perfect as Austin stays warm day and night. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also tried out <a href="http://grajmahalaustin.com/">G'raj Majal</a>, an Indian restaurant there which I would highly recommend if you're into Indian cuisine. We that the Rogan Josh and Chicken Tikka Paneer curries which were delicious! I'll definitely be going back there. We are lucky to have an array of amazing Indian restaurants to choose from in England and I was worried that Austin wouldn't be able to compare but luckily I was wrong! The only down side is that I found the interior and lighting a little too dark inside the restaurant, but they do have a cute and colourful seating area outside so that wasn't an issue.<br />

So far I'm having an amazing time, exploring this exciting city and making new friends. I can't wait to keep sharing this adventure with you. If you haven't already you must put Austin onto your travel bucket list, it's definitely one of the most fun cities I have visited!</div>

Best Products To Fight First Signs Of Ageing</h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I remember when I turned 21 my mum said to me that perhaps I should start looking into my skin care routine and start introducing some anti ageing creams. I remember feeling incredibly offended and also thinking that she was crazy, surely I didn’t need to worry about that yet?! She said to me that it’s better to prevent wrinkles than try to get rid of them and that’s probably the best piece of advice I ever had in regards to skin care.</span></div>

Perhaps one day soon the fountain of youth will get discovered and all our skin worries will go away forever but until then here’s my current favourite skincare products that that keep my skin, smooth, subtle and moisturised.</span></div>

It’s actually taken me awhile to find the products that really work for my skin and I like them so much I decided to share them with you!</span></div>

It leaves my skin looking instantly smoother and glowing. I tend to use it once or twice a week.</span></div>

I heard so many bloggers raving about this product I just had to learn for myself if it was worth all the hype. Spoiler alert: it totally is! After using it for about a week or so my skin started looking smoother than I have ever remember it being. I remember the first time I really noticed I couldn’t keep looking at myself in the mirror. The bottle lasts a surprisingly long time too. I’ve had it for a couple of months now and I still have lots left.</div>

It’s an amazing way to replenish and look after your skin whilst you sleep. I was worried that using this oil would result in breakouts but I’ve been absolutely fine. It’s a 100% natural formula which has been perfect for my sensitive skin. I find that using it has made some of my fine lines less visible and my skin feels very supple every morning. It seems that the oil I have has been replaced on the site for a version which has a different ingredient but the description is exactly the same so I don’t think there will be much difference. </span></div>

After using it my skin feels really refreshed and revived it’s also minimised the look my lines around my eyes and forehead. I like it so much I’m actually on my second bottle. I’ve recently invested in the face wash from the same line and I like it but I definitely prefer the concentrate. The Bodyshop website has some really good discount deals so keep an eye out for an offer.<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

It’s ingredients include kale, maca root extracts and chlorophyll. It’s great for moisturising and improving the overall health of the skin. I alternate between using this and the Caudalie overnight oil before going to sleep every night. </span></div>

The mascara she was using made most of her eyelashes fall out so she decided to apply this serum to her eyelashes as well as her face and swears by it! She’s informed that her eyelashes have grown back quickly and longer and stronger than before. The one downside to it is the smell, I don’t think it’s particularly pleasant, it smells like a lot of vegetables blended together but I got used to it pretty quickly.</span></div>

It’s super light in texture, and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily but still feels deeply moisturising. It contains a high concentration of plant serum and antioxidant super fruit extracts, it’s also SPF 10 so it offers UVA/UVB protection too. I’m on my second bottle and I love it!</span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Bar Soba is probably one of the most eclectic and cool looking eateries in the whole of Leeds. </h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<a name='more'></a></h2>
<h3>
The kitchen is fusion of flavours inspired by street food around Asia. They also offer lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. </h3>
Being gluten free means that eating out can be quite difficult sometimes so when I find a good spot I tend to shout from the roof tops about it.<br />
Last year I shared a <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2015/09/bar-soba-leeds-new-menu-launch.html">post</a> with you about about Bar Soba and I was delighted to be invited to their new menu launch again. <div>

On the evening we got started with some drinks and then a selection of items from the new menu kept appearing. From the starters it seems that the <b>Hamburger Spring Rolls</b> stole the show. I personally couldn't try any because gluten, but the boy and my blogger friends whom I shared the dining experienced with all said that they were amazing. I can personally vouch for the Aubergine and <b>Broccoli tempura</b> and the <b>Balinese Chicken Sate </b>which were both full of flavour and absolutely delicious.<br />

<br />
Since the event I've actually been back to Bar Soba more than once and can highly recommend their <b>Calimari</b>. I noticed that on the online menu it doesn't state that they're gluten free but I checked with the chef and was told that they are deep fried using corn flour so if you have a gluten sensitivity I'd recommend double checking before ordering just in case.<br />

From the new additions to main meals the <b>Southern Thai King Prawn Curry </b>and the <b>Crispy Shanghai Pork</b> were the winners in my eyes. To really understand how good the pork was you should know that I have previously said that I wouldn't care I never ate pork again in my life. After trying the pork dish at Bar Soba I would like to officially retract this statement because it was that good. It was sticky, it was sweet and it wasn't fatty at all. I already love Thai Curry but have never tried one with lychee before and it added a really interesting texture to the dish. </div>

Since the event I've been back to Bar Soba more than once. I know that sometimes during a blogger event we tend to receive special treatment but I can assure you that the service and the food was still great when I came back as a regular customer.<br />
As well as all these new additions the Nasi Goreng remains one of my favourites! A spiced Indonesian fried rice dish which you absolutely need to try if you visit Bar Soba.<br />

The last month has been the craziest of my whole life.</h2>
Last week I turned 25 whilst watching the Northern Lights in Iceland with my love and some of my favourite friends, two days later I was boarding a plane to Austin Texas.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
One day the boy rang me up and asked if I would be up for moving to America for a few months as his work wanted him to help out in the office in Austin, TX. My head was spinning with excitement and I said yes. The next day I handed in my notice at work and then we spent the following few weeks packing up our life, I even managed to squeeze in a sinus surgery!<br />

Now I'm writing this post from our apartment in Austin Texas! Am I crazy to just pack up my life and my job and just leave? Maybe, but I believe that our 20's is the one time in our life when we should do some things that scare us and take some risks. After all we'll have plenty of time to be responsible grown up adults right?! Maybe I'll have an amazing time or maybe I'll regret it but in the long run at least I won't be wondering what if. I don't know anyone here and that's scary but I'm hoping that in the next few months I'll make some new friends and some awesome memories and in the meantime I know that my friends from home are just at the other end of the phone.<br />

I've been in Austin for 3 days so far and I think I'm really going to like it here. The good news is that since I won't be working for a few months I'm going to be blogging a whole lot more! I'm so excited to spend more time creating content and also having more time to actually read other blogs.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve been looking for new glasses for about a year, but I just couldn’t find anything that I loved. I think with glasses being something that I have to wear every day it’s important to find a pair that I love and won’t mind wearing. When specsavers got in touch with me asking me if I wanted to try some glasses out from the new Kylie Minogue collection I was intrigued. The first thing I did was stalk the collection online and after that my answer was a very sure, ‘yes I’d love to’! </span></div>

I booked it an appointment for a style session at <a href="https://www.specsavers.co.uk/stores/headingley">Specsavers in Headingley</a>. The stylist was incredibly helpful and patient, as I tried on numerous of pairs more than once.<br /><br />I like glasses which are a little different and stand out and the Kylie collection has plenty of those. In the end I ended up picking a pair of glasses and a pair of sunglasses because of the 2 for 1 offer. I went for the <a href="https://www.specsavers.co.uk/glasses/kylie-12">rounded ombre frames</a>* in brown and pale pink colours. I really like their retro rounded shape. I bought a pair of rounded glasses a couple of years ago and have been a convert since then, it’s my favourite shape. The Kylie collection has quite a few rounded shapes in a variety of gorgeous colours so if that’s a shape you like then you should definitely check it out. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I have to be honest when I saw them I thought there was no way I could pull these off and wasn’t even going to try them on but the stylist insisted that I should. As soon as I put them on, I was in love! I can’t recommend enough that you try on even the frame you don’t think you’ll suit because you just never know. </span><br />

<br />
When our working and personal lives get hectic usually the first thing we neglect is ourselves. We’re often putting work or other people first but sometimes we just need to take some time for ourselves. From my experience if you look after yourself it will be much easier to juggle all the other important things in your life.<br />
Below is my <b>personal wellness guide </b>which will help you look after your physical and mental health with tips which you can include in your daily routine and some of my favourite well being products.<br />
<a name='more'></a>I’ve split the guide up in separate sections which focus on certain aspects of wellness although I find that all of these work best when practiced together.<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Improve Immune system and Gut Health</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Kefir</h3>
<br />Taking probiotics is an incredible way to strengthen the immune system and really improve overall gut health. Unfortunately I suffer with IBS so my digestive system can cause me quite a lot of issues and discomfort.<br />After Christmas I was feeling particularly bloated and generally unwell so my friend (and awesome blogger!) Ally recommended that I start making and drinking something called Kefir. <br /><br />Kefir is a fermented milk drink, made using kefir ‘grains’ which are a live culture of good bacteria and resemble cauliflower clusters in appearance. The result is a drink similar to drinking yoghurt in texture but with a slightly tangier flavour. It contains 47 strands of good bacteria and a whole bunch of vitamins and minerals which include calcium, vitamin b12 and magnesium.<br /><br />I can honestly say that it’s made such a big difference to my digestive health and really minimised my IBS symptoms. <div>
<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
Herbal Tea</h3>
Another thing which I’ve found has really helped with my digestive health is <a href="https://www.indigo-herbs.co.uk/shop/buy/indigo-tea-super-cleanse">Super Cleanse Tea</a> from Indigo Herbs*. Often I end up feeling very bloated and uncomfortable after a big meal and I find that this tea really helps to settle my stomach. It’s a blend of: Fennel, Liquorice, Nettle, Dandelion, Red Clover and Ginger.<br /><br />The tea has a very nice gentle, warming flavour and I find it very rejuvenating and soothing. I have it almost every evening, in fact I’m drinking it right now as I type this. </div>

Fruit & Vegetables</h4>
I keep my fridge and freezer stocked full of fruits and vegetables. One great way to get more fruit and veg into your diet is my blitzing it all up into delicious <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2014/11/super-power-smoothie_30.html">smoothies</a>. I’ve got two of my favourites recipes <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2014/11/super-power-smoothie_30.html">here</a>. Constantly buying fresh greens and berries can be expensive so I usually stock up with whatever is on offer at my local market and then freeze it. Fruit and vegetables are loaded up with vital vitamins, nutrients and minerals. If you’re looking to get healthier and want to start feeling better then you should definitely be adding more fruit and veg in your diet. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZ8JJEr5Zj7Oyga2UGI9R4bt2HLdx0P7N24a_y3sUgyZAd2i3ESi_KvH6OrvtDexOSOR_F8bqHVf1Z7EN9eINebER7foaDRJ6uAbcIKqcTSU0ncB3GkgT5EcKRvgG9_ZVT06Tpu1fvF4C/s1600/IMG_0383.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZ8JJEr5Zj7Oyga2UGI9R4bt2HLdx0P7N24a_y3sUgyZAd2i3ESi_KvH6OrvtDexOSOR_F8bqHVf1Z7EN9eINebER7foaDRJ6uAbcIKqcTSU0ncB3GkgT5EcKRvgG9_ZVT06Tpu1fvF4C/s1600/IMG_0383.jpg" /></a><br /></div>

Have More Energy</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Matcha Green Tea</h3>
Matcha is the finest quality green tea, which has been steamed and then ground into a very fine powder. It contains 137 times the amount of antioxidants in regular green tea. It gives me so much energy without the horrible crash of caffeine and is pretty much the only reason I find the motivation to walk into work every morning (it’s a 50 minute walk!). I like it so much I have written more about the health benefits and recommended my favourite brands of matcha tea <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2016/03/health-benefits-of-matcha-green-tea.html">here</a>. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5QIga0_eP16dGLPAArQhQq5MVTlwknvXjlRqNXiUQ-LhAW_2UOOcXMUKHbbgO-ReW1jWTownL8sJ34qrwmluwcQ-g_zZhlhWU2cOnW2dSx3NwUWxP8Sr4Su4PrhH5n0RFVY4RhqxWnM/s1600/Health+Benefits+of+Matcha+Green+tea-8.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5QIga0_eP16dGLPAArQhQq5MVTlwknvXjlRqNXiUQ-LhAW_2UOOcXMUKHbbgO-ReW1jWTownL8sJ34qrwmluwcQ-g_zZhlhWU2cOnW2dSx3NwUWxP8Sr4Su4PrhH5n0RFVY4RhqxWnM/s1600/Health+Benefits+of+Matcha+Green+tea-8.jpg" /></a><br /></div>

Neom Energy Burst Fragrance*</h3>
This beautiful perfume is a mixture of natural and complex blend of 17 essential oils which have been proven to help boost energy. The smell is very fresh and citrusy with the main player being zesty grapefruit. It’s a perfect size to fit in the handbag and spritz on throughout the day. I’ve never previously owned a perfume which made me feel so revived and refreshed, I love spritzing it before my walk to work. It really does work! It's also definitely the prettiest perfume bottle I own. You can buy it in one of the lovely stores or online <a href="https://www.neomorganics.com/energy-burst-100-natural-eau-de-parfum.html">here</a>.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0VaUWzphJXvjgHHzhLm146RkDDFt5rtIWdNKcl7vCCy5VKylajGux-VNoZD78JtRN61GwluZ5nukWelqMKGaoR1QYhTYs4xWYxClIxOg8gtYa7ERATJSfO5oVt5rl5DCN5SRMFLtXRM/s1600/Health+and+Wellness+Tips-8.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0VaUWzphJXvjgHHzhLm146RkDDFt5rtIWdNKcl7vCCy5VKylajGux-VNoZD78JtRN61GwluZ5nukWelqMKGaoR1QYhTYs4xWYxClIxOg8gtYa7ERATJSfO5oVt5rl5DCN5SRMFLtXRM/s1600/Health+and+Wellness+Tips-8.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
Exercise</h3>
Regular exercise will really help you to feel less lethargic and more energetic. I try to walk for at least 45 minutes every day and I feel so much more energetic for it. Try walking instead of taking your car somewhere, any and all exercise is better than no exercise. <br /><br />Getting out into nature can also really help to clear your mind and make you feel refreshed.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2DXpVCMDVLLkZxNwzThg7ivBfJtXcSjnNFkJi11ys-IEn9qmnutPIsGbLiEs2p0LD3o0CA8lNFGgzOSOV1OLknsk4_fgqh9mRt8bi2jeehbr4NjAsYJe_zzjILAnzuV3gpLo0QFFD8k/s1600/Lake_District+%25281+of+1%2529-62.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2DXpVCMDVLLkZxNwzThg7ivBfJtXcSjnNFkJi11ys-IEn9qmnutPIsGbLiEs2p0LD3o0CA8lNFGgzOSOV1OLknsk4_fgqh9mRt8bi2jeehbr4NjAsYJe_zzjILAnzuV3gpLo0QFFD8k/s1600/Lake_District+%25281+of+1%2529-62.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: center;">
Bust Stress And Anxiety</h2>
Take a bubble bath and indulge in a feel good book or film. Sometimes when we’re stressed what we really need is to ‘get out of our heads’. I don’t know about you but I’m really prone to over analysing and worrying about things that I really shouldn’t worry about. I find that reading a book or watching a feel good film (I love studio ghibli’s My neighbour Totoro or Kikis delivery service when I’m feeling down) really helps to distract me and put me in a more relaxed and positive mindframe. Give it a try it might help you too.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKATd6ESth_jvjQfk4ePb3nmy1OTXuNulFxHFgVeM2vQ_jk56zSmxBnysM0Ef4isaDhmSOn5Fs1GLmLPdq8mLO48H-FT1XpfIaThYi2BEGqlIgiVCiWKFHw2V6JUF_5bxPLQ_67zv1kU/s1600/Health+and+Wellness+Tips-10.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKATd6ESth_jvjQfk4ePb3nmy1OTXuNulFxHFgVeM2vQ_jk56zSmxBnysM0Ef4isaDhmSOn5Fs1GLmLPdq8mLO48H-FT1XpfIaThYi2BEGqlIgiVCiWKFHw2V6JUF_5bxPLQ_67zv1kU/s1600/Health+and+Wellness+Tips-10.jpg" /></a><br /></div>

De-stress Candle Neom Organics</h3>
<br />I absolutely love candles and burning them at home but I’ve never owned a candle that had such a strong effect on me. When I light neoms <a href="https://www.neomorganics.com/real-luxury-standard-scented-candle.html">de-stress candle</a>* it’s like I’m automatically transported into a tranquil spa. <br /><br />I love lighting it after a long day at work or if I have something worrying on my mind. This candle is made with a complex blend of 24 of the purest possible essential oils including lavender, jasmine & Brazilian rosewood. I would really recommend that you pop in to your nearest Neom Organics store as the visit will be an experience in itself because you get to do a scent test which helps you discover what your mind and body needs. The store in Leeds is situated in Victoria Gate. Since discovering this brand a couple of months ago I have absolutely fallen in love. Every product is focused on wellness and made only using natural ingredients.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ6pQrkyWOknV1WuXwufWohQ5K29C_Z26sRYUaPWB8M2kO56BmgT6sK41qdQJn6v98w8U7HiYYFBidnFv6yME4miynJwrQZuVcN_3xN4PmVK9AFnaOUjn8xy2cdhZqQJbXn-30XXKP8IQ/s1600/Health+and+Wellness+Tips-6.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ6pQrkyWOknV1WuXwufWohQ5K29C_Z26sRYUaPWB8M2kO56BmgT6sK41qdQJn6v98w8U7HiYYFBidnFv6yME4miynJwrQZuVcN_3xN4PmVK9AFnaOUjn8xy2cdhZqQJbXn-30XXKP8IQ/s1600/Health+and+Wellness+Tips-6.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
Herbal Extracts</h3>
Sometimes no matter how many deep breaths I take and how hard I try to not worry, it just doesn’t work, I’m pretty sure we all have those days. <br /><br />About three and a half years ago when I was in my final year of university and so stressed with the work load I just wanted to cry, I visited a local health shop. I asked the lady who worked there if there were any herbal remedies she could suggest that would help with my stress and anxiety without making me sleepy, (I had all my uni work to finish after all). <br />She recommended a passion flower extract in a shape of tablets blended with passion flower and lemon balm.<br />Fast forward three and half years later and I still make sure I always have a bottle of these tablets at home for stressful days. They have a very calming effect but in a very gentle way. They don’t make me drowsy or dizzy. You can usually find it health shops or buy them online <a href="http://www.healthstuff.co.uk/en/Natures-Aid-Passiflora-Lemon-Balm-and-Avena-Sativa/m-2523.aspx?gclid=CPLk0a7y39ICFfMW0wodpR0BZQ&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=UnitedKingdom">here</a>. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg485UXK1YrZv0MHfWmXB6nLF1gGB8DqFzmczRXUYY-8QwbRIHsHTunqcvW-M72yjAbsSnEg_TJp2tGVY9ecA-U3Z8udQrViZRkKz-dOB-8lSyQhYKG-aExt-F8tuDy6lzCltLhnl3CG-k/s1600/Health+and+Wellness+Tips-16.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg485UXK1YrZv0MHfWmXB6nLF1gGB8DqFzmczRXUYY-8QwbRIHsHTunqcvW-M72yjAbsSnEg_TJp2tGVY9ecA-U3Z8udQrViZRkKz-dOB-8lSyQhYKG-aExt-F8tuDy6lzCltLhnl3CG-k/s1600/Health+and+Wellness+Tips-16.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Recently I have also decided to give <a href="https://www.indigo-herbs.co.uk/shop/buy/ashwagandha-tincture">Ashwagandha Tincture</a>* a try. After some reading I learned that it is a herbal tincture which has been traditionally used for thousands of years around the world. It’s known to rebalance the nervous system to help our bodies be less affected by stress and lessen effects of anxiety in return. It also helps with fatigue. <br /><br />I have to be honest it tastes pretty gross on its own but I tend to put it in fruit juice or fruity tea and then it’s absolutely fine. I don’t use this every day only when I know I’m going to have a particularly busy day or when I’m feeling a little unbalanced around my time of the month (I’m sure most girls will know what I mean.) and have noticed that it does make me feel more balanced and definitely helps with my energy levels.<br /><br />The worst thing about being stressed and anxious for me is that it really messes with my sleeping pattern. If I’ve had a bad day it can take me hours to fall asleep and I find that drinking Chamomile tea really helps me to relax and drift off to sleep much quicker. I love the taste and find it so soothing that I now have a ritual of drinking a cup of this lovely herbal tea before bed every night. You can get a 50g bag of loose leaf <a href="https://www.indigo-herbs.co.uk/shop/buy/chamomile-tea">chamomile flower tea</a>* from Indigo Herbs for only £3.99. <br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">
Yoga</h3>
I have always loved yoga but never really practised it regularly until a couple of months ago. I now attend one class a week and sometimes try to do some extra yoga in my own time following a youtube workout. If there are no classes near you or if you feel more comfortable doing it at your own pace, youtube has some awesome free tutorials you can follow. Yoga helps you to calm your mind by teaching you to focus on your breath whilst also stretching and strengthening your body. It’s probably my favourite form of exercise, it leaves me feeling relaxed and full of zen!<br /><br /><div>
<div>
Our <b>physical </b>and <b>mental health </b>are linked in more ways than most people realise. For example if you’re doing meditation or yoga for 20 minutes a day every day but are still eating greasy takeaways every night and not getting enough sleep then chances are very high that you’ll still be feeling rubbish both emotionally and physically.<br />
<br />
I really hope you find my little guide helpful, I’ve been putting it into practice for quite some time now and I feel so much better in every way.<br />

I’ll start this blog post by going straight to the point: this egg and chorizo breakfast skillet recipe is absolutely delicious. I love having eggs for breakfast but they can get a little boring and this recipe really spices things up. It’s healthy, it’s very flavoursome and very easy to make. <br />

One sunny and very warm summer evening me and my friend Kate were drinking cooled wine on the terrace and decided that we needed a holiday. There and then we put a credit card to good use and booked a getaway to Zadar in Croatia. I am now so thankful for our spontaneity on that gorgeous sunny evening as it gave us the opportunity to explore, make memories and soak up the last of the summer sunshine. Below I share with you the things you must do if you visit!<br />

We stayed in an apartment about twenty minutes walk from Zadar old town in <a href="http://www.booking.com/hotel/hr/apartments-maruna.en-gb.html?aid=311076;label=apartments-maruna-XJlFVS1L7Qqgb_hV%2ABA11gS28571748780%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap1%3Ap2%3Aac%3Aap1t1%3Aneg%3Afi%3Atikwd-46803210773%3Alp1006864%3Ali%3Adec%3Adm;sid=b0354d8833ccdefb787d5e239831e89a;dest_id=-101499;dest_type=city;dist=0;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=446d1897d1673b7335f7b7ec08df1157ef10a106X1;type=total;ucfs=1&">Apartments Maruna</a>. We booked it through booking.com which was a little misleading as when we booked we were under the impression that we were getting quite a large apartment but once we booked it the photos looked completely different. This left us a little disappointed but in the end even though our apartment wasn't very big or luxurious it was very clean, with a comfortable bed and a balcony where we were able to have breakfast in the sunshine. The owner of the apartments was also very friendly and welcoming, he gave us maps and recommended things to do.<br />

<br />
The two things you absolutely must see in Zadar are the <b>Sea Organ </b>and the <b>Greetings To The Sun</b>. The views of the sea and the horizon are absolutely beautiful and there's something so indescribably magical about the sea organs. We visited it a few times during our visit and each time the music sounded different because it reacts to the waves. The greetings to the sun is a solar light panel installation which starts playing a light show consisting of different colours and patterns.<br />

<b>During our three day stay </b>we discovered two awesome places <b>to eat and drink in Zadar</b> that we actually went back to more than once. Because we visited in late October it seemed like some of the restaurants that would usually be open in the summer were shut however there was still quite a few options to choose from.<br />
<br />
For Lunch and Dinner I have to insist that you give the <b>Konoba <a href="http://malo-misto.com/">Malo Misto</a> </b>a try. It's very reasonably priced, the staff were really friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. I had a glorious chicken risotto there and it was so good I had to have it twice, they also have a great selection of meat and fish dishes. They have an outdoor and indoor restaurant and the atmosphere was really cosy in both of them.<br />

We visited the restaurant of <a href="http://www.arthotel-kalelarga.com/en/gourmet">The Art Hotel Kalelarga</a> on the night when we decided that we would first have dessert followed up cheese and wine instead of a normal dinner (what a great idea that was).<br />
We sampled the famous <b>Pag cheese (Paški cheese)</b> from Pag Island, that's made from the milk of a unique small breed of sheep that only live on that island and produce a limited amount of milk. If you're a lover of cheese then you must try Pag cheese during your visit to Croatia, it's absolutely delicious. To me it tastes something in between of<b> Manchego and Parmesan cheese. </b><br />
We even came back here for cake and hot drinks on our last day when it was absolutely pouring it down. They have an amazing selection of cakes including a gluten free chocolate pistachio torte which was divine.<br />

I had an awesome time in Croatia and will definitely be back to explore more of this beautiful country!<br />
<br />
Have you ever been to Croatia? Can you recommend where I should visit next?<br />

The fashion photo shoot in this blog post happened quite a few weeks ago, and even though I really love the photos (thanks to my editing skills and<a href="https://thefashionfictionary.com/"> Lucinda’s</a> great camera skills) I didn’t want to post just an outfit post. The fashion posts I love the most are the ones that tell some kind of a story and I felt like the story of a sunny and freezing afternoon with my girls and how much I love my new boots and jumper just wasn’t going to cut it this time. I knew I wanted to say something meaningful, something that might make you pause and think. If even just for a moment.</div>

<b> Something that would maybe put a smile on your face or leave you feeling a little warmth.</b> It turns out it’s much harder to write when you want to have that effect. This post has been in drafts for weeks, empty because I simply couldn’t find the words, nor was I sure what I actually wanted to say.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
Sunnydei isn’t usually a place where I share much emotional and overly personal content. I prefer to keep my little corner of the internet sunny and happy and full of food and adventures. But it seems that there are more and more hate and negativity in this world, to the point where it’s becoming harder to ignore it. <br />
<br />
There are currently three people with corrupted and likely quite small minds in very high political power who really shouldn’t be and quite frankly it’s terrifying. <br />
<b><br />This isn’t a political blog nor will it ever be but I will never forget the morning of the Brexit announcement. </b><br />
<br />
I and the boy were in Palanga, a beautiful seaside town in Lithuania. The beach is covered is soft milky white sand, the edges surrounded by a pine forest which stretches over for miles and miles. We woke up to the smell of the sea and the pine trees.It smelled of adventure, it smelled of summer. <br />
<br />
We woke up in a beautiful and tranquil surrounding but also in the worst hotel we had ever stayed in our whole lives. It wasn’t actually a hotel, it was an old very soviet looking building of apartments all converted to be rented out. It cost us something like £10 a night and looked like something from a post-war 1970’s Russia. There was even a hole in our ceiling! Just remembering how bad it was is making me laugh as I write this. I was poor that summer and I love a good bargain so thought I found an amazing deal...turns out it was obviously £10 for a reason. <br />
<br />
We were staying next door to a very posh spa hotel, so we had a shower, got dressed and went next door for a delicious all you could eat buffet breakfast. Once we sat down to eat we connected to the wifi to find out the referendum results. I have to say I really really didn’t think that there were enough people who would actually vote leave, it seemed so weird to me to think that someone would actually want that. When Oliver (on the blog also known as ‘the boy’) read out the result, I felt such a whirlwind of emotions. I felt confused, nauseous and unbearably sad most of all. <br />
<br />
This was my first time back in Lithuania in 8 years. I have lived in Ireland or Northern Ireland to be precise since I was 13 and moved to Leeds when I was 18. For the last 11 years of my life, I have lived in the UK. <br />

<a href="https://trinityleeds.com/" rel="nofollow">Trinity </a>shopping centre is great, all of my favourite high street brands under one roof! They also offer late night shopping most evening which is really helpful as it doesn't limit shopping time to weekends. Trinity is also the home of <a href="https://trinityleeds.com/shops/trinity-kitchen" rel="nofollow">Trinity kitchen</a>, a very unique street food concept. If you've never been you absolutely must visit! They have five new temporary vendors come in every 8 weeks. Which means that Trinity Kitchen is a fab food stop for trying out new things. I got invited to sample some of the culinary delights offered by the new vendors on Burns night.<br />
<a name='more'></a><div>
There are currently five new stands at Trinity Kitchen and below are my current favourites. One of the new vendors are The Allotment, who are serving up food from a really cute mobile shed. All their dishes are vegetarian and they are serving up a choice of veggie burgers, wraps and halloumi fries. The halloumi fries are literally AMAZING. In fact just writing about them is making me crave them like crazy. To my delight, they are also gluten free! They can also cook up a gluten free halloumi wrap on request. The boy ( who isn' a veggie) tried the veggie burgers and said that they were full of flavour.</div>

We also had the Hickory Smoked Brisket from <b>The Pickled Porker</b>. I thought the brisket had a very over powering flavour of cloves, so I would recommend you ask them to taste a little bit before you order it as I think it might an acquired taste.<br />

<br />
My favourite stand is the Old Granary Pierogi. If you love authentic Polish pierogi then you are in for a serious treat! If you never tried it it's a dish similar to dumplings, filled with delicious fillings. They're also serving baked pierogi which are the most delicious pasties. Being originally from Lithuania I grew up eating pierogi and know how delicious they are, but I didn't think I was going to be able to try anything due to my gluten intolerance. Luckily they actually offer gluten free options! I had a baked pierogi with a cheese, ham and spinach filling and it was actually mouth watering. </div>

I think there's something extra special about giving and receiving customised gifts. For my dads birthday I got him ac customised photo mug with some lovely pictures of us on it. Fast forward 4 years and it's still his favourite mug from which he has his morning coffee every day.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">I think personalised gifts show that someone has really put some thought into their present for you, which is why they are so special. For Valentines day I've got the boy some personalised gifts from <a href="https://www.ijustloveit.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">I just love it.</a> </span></div>

I couldn't post this post prior to Valentines day because I didn't want him to see it! Here's some background information: we both absolutely love cheese and chocolate. I've got him a <a href="https://www.ijustloveit.co.uk/product/monogram-cheese-board-and-knife-set/" rel="nofollow">personalised cheese board</a> and knife set, a<a href="https://www.ijustloveit.co.uk/product/personalised-cava-and-chocolates/" rel="nofollow"> personalised bottle of Cava and some delicious truffles</a>. <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">I knew he would love this gift especially since I've bought a delicious selection of cheeses to go with it! There were so many things to choose from on the website but since we both love food I thought this was most appropriate.</span></div>

<br />I absolutely love the cheese board, it has our initials, names and the year we started going out on it. It's very sentimental but because the design is quite minimalist and cool it's not cheesy ( see what I did there?!). The boy also loves the board and I know we'll both cherish it and use it excessively for years to come.<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">

Instead of getting him a card I wrote a personal message on the bottle of Cava. It's a really luxurious personalised gift, I actually would have loved to receive this myself! It came in a lovely black box with a satin black lining. I really love the packaging and the fact that it's black because it doesn't make the gift feel girly or tacky.</div>

<a href="https://www.ijustloveit.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">I Just Love It</a> features many different types of personalised gifts suitable for mothers day (which is just around the corner!), birthdays, anniversaries and any other special occasion you can think of. As well as gifts they also offer experiences such as afternoon tea, or a spa days. I was really impressed with the large selection of items available to choose from there's something on there for everyone.<br />

Last year I went to the press event for The Cocktail Experience and had an awesome time sampling delicious drinks. It's an absolute must event for any cocktail lover and it's back! This year even bigger and better. I got invited to attend the press event again and decided to test out all the drinks so I can share with you my absolute favourites that you must try.<br />

1 - Marigold - 53 Degrees North</h4>
53 Degrees North is a pretty new addition to the Leeds bar scene. It opened up last year and it's joined with Riccis tapas. The cocktail they're serving up at the cocktail experience is a very refreshing and not too sweet. I could easily sip on it all night! It's also presented beautifully, garnished with flowers. It's a gin based cocktail with hints of pineapple and grapefruit.<br />

2. Ruby - Jakes Bar</h4>
<div>
This cocktail made me think of warm summer nights. This is another gin based cocktail, which tastes of strawberry and pomegranate. It's very fruity and sweet (but not so sweet that you feel like your teeth are going to fall out!) and absolutely delicious. Jakes bar seem to have a whole new cocktail menu and this creation is the one they will be selling at the cocktail experience.</div>

3. Chida Fizz - Chida</h4>
<div>
My third favourite cocktail of the night was actually from a bar that does not yet exist! Chida is opening up in place of Sandinista. It's going to be a Mexican bar with a strong focus on Tequila and they'll be serving up a variety of tacos. I think they are planning to open up in March, just in time for the summer season! This cocktail was tequila based but the flavour of tequila was quite gentle. It was served with lemon, cucumber and hibiscus cordial. It was refreshing and very easy to drink. I can't wait to visit Chida and enjoy this cocktail in the warm summer sunshine.</div>

I love exploring and discovering new places, it’s pretty much my favourite thing ever along with tea and food. Weekend breaks are a perfect way to have a little adventure without having to save for months or quit your job.<br />
I managed to find a two night weekend break to Gdansk (a polish city by the Baltic coast) flying out from Leeds (where I live) with a hotel for £53 per person. Yes, you have read that right. I found this awesome deal on <a href="https://www.holidaypirates.com/">Holiday Pirates</a> which is fast becoming my favourite website for bargain getaway deals.<br />
<a name='more'></a><div class="p1">
I’ve never been to Poland or knew that much about it but, at that price I simply couldn’t pass it up and knew that a weekend abroad always beats a weekend at home (especially in the winter when it’s most likely going to be raining).</div>

Me and the boy arrived on Friday afternoon and we simply fell in love. It honestly has exceeded all of my expectations. The architecture is beyond beautiful, I felt like I was walking around a fairytale film set. A very cold film set. The temperature ranged between -4 and -7 whilst we were there so we had to take frequent tea and cake breaks. We had an amazing weekend of exploring, eating and laughing until our sides hurt.</div>

Bonprix organised a fun cocktail masterclasses evening at the Malmaison in Leeds. All of us who received an invite got to pick a dress from their <a href="http://www.bonprix.co.uk/womens/dresses/_/N-19Z1z141er?cs_ev=navigation-_-leftnav-_-Category-_-Dresses&pid=302927">party collection</a>. I had never shopped with Bonprix before and I didn't realise how many dresses there was to choose from! There's lots of different shapes, colours and styles available and most of them are great value too. I'd say about 95% of dresses are under £50. I picked a 1920's inspired red <a href="http://www.bonprix.co.uk/products/fringed-party-dress/_/A-918881_14" rel="nofollow">Fringed Dress</a> which was actually only £19.99! I styled it up with a chunky necklace and ankle boots. I received so many compliments about the dress all night.<br />

<br />
My other two favourite dresses from the event were the ones that lovely Ally from <a href="http://www.digital-diva.co.uk/getting-glam-making-cocktails-malmaison/">Digital Diva</a> (pictured above) Lucinda from The <a href="https://thefashionfictionary.com/2016/11/30/cocktail-making-at-bonprix-on-the-rocks-malmaison/">Fashion Fictionary</a>. You can get their dress details over on their blogs. Our three dresses are completely different in style but all equally gorgeous and shows that no matter what your shape or style is you can find a gorgeous dress on Bonprix site.<br />

This flavoursome Matcha Green Tea Banana bread is perfect for quick breakfast on the go or as a delicious and nutritious 'pick me up' snack during the day. The best thing about this banana bread is that even though it's healthy it still tastes like a sweet, moreish treat.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I've previously written a post about the<a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2016/03/health-benefits-of-matcha-green-tea.html"> benefits of Matcha green tea</a> which I absolutely love and drink every day. Since I know not everyone is into the taste of matcha green tea I thought I would experiment with adding it to banana bread. The result is a very sweet, moist and delicious banana bread with a very light hint of green tea taste.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s a start of a new year and ‘New Year New Me’ memes and social media updates are making an appearance. Everyone is making New Year resolutions because we all tend to see the new year as a fresh start, as an opportunity to improve something about ourselves or our lives. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In reality though </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">very few people actually stick to and achieve their resolutions. The reason being that most people set very unrealistic and high pressure goals for themselves which unfortunately often leads to failure sometimes even before January is over! I can hold up my hands and say that I am one of those people. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After years of making a resolution of having a flat toned stomach here I am still with some excess rolls that I wish weren’t there. However I’ve learned a way you can achieve and smash those New Year resolutions by following the 7 steps below.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h4 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
1 Don’t Be Too Hard On Yourself.</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remember that New Year's day is just another day. Whilst it feels like a fresh start you shouldn’t expect to change your whole life around in one day, plus you’re probably nursing a hangover right? Just take it easy, do what you enjoy, treat yourself and make an action plan of how and what you are going to change over the next twelve months.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
2 Be Realistic</h4>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the main reasons why people tend to ditch or fail at their New Year resolutions is because they set crazy, unrealistic goals. Whilst losing three stone, quit smoking, buy a house and run a marathon might all sound like amazing they are also likely to the reason why you fail. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Evaluate your life and pick the things that are the most important but don’t try to change everything at once. </span></div>

<br />3 Write Down Your Resolutions</h4>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now I swear by this tip, there’s just something about writing your goals down that makes it much more real. For the last few years on New Years Eve or New Years Day I have been writing down some things that I would really like to achieve in the New Year and placing the piece of paper under my bed mattress. You can then retrieve your list in exactly a years time and see what you have achieved. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
4 Focus On One Big Thing At A Time</h4>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Break down each resolution into small achievable steps, for example if you want to be healthier you could start by drinking extra two glasses of water a day and then gradually increase the steps. </span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
5 Positive Thinking Makes A Difference</h4>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now this can be a tough one but really does make such a difference. Ban yourself from using negative language such as “I can’t be bothered, It’s too cold, I’m too tired” and make yourself and your brain think in a more positive manner with phrases such as “I always feel so much more energized and ready for the day after the gym”. Doing this will naturally motivate you and make it more likely for you to stick to your goals.</span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
6 Track Your Progress</h4>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Write down each time you complete one of the steps to get you closer to your goal. When you see your results over time will motivate you to keep going. Celebrate your little successes and give yourself a pat on the back each time you complete of the steps to get you closer to your goal!</span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
7 Forget It’s All Or Nothing</h4>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The all or nothing way of thinking and doing things simply does not work in the long term. I know this because I have been so guilty of it for so long myself. You want to achieve your goals slowly but surely. For example if your goal is to lose weight but chocolate cake is your one true love in life then you shouldn’t completely cut it out straight away because that will only make you want it more. If you do slip up, well so what? You’re only human after all, just make sure you get back on track and don’t be too hard on yourself. </span></div>

I had to sign something today and it dawned on me that it’s the last time I will ever write the date as 2016. I always get sentimental about writing the date for the last time, ever since I learned how to write when I was little.<br />In a bid farewell to 2016 I thought I would write a recap and summary of my year in travel, personal life and blog. It's a year that will mark history but for me personally it has been a truly amazing year. Why you say? Well let me fill you in.<span id="docs-internal-guid-3f91e9d2-546f-66d6-eea6-200d3f4ee7b0">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I started off the year the best way, with a visit to the gorgeous <b><a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2016/02/barcelona-adventure.html">Barcelona</a></b> in January. You can see everything I got up to (including my first ever vlog!) <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2016/02/barcelona-adventure.html">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I finally managed to visit the <b>USA</b>, something that has been on my list for many years. I had one hell of a road trip and made memories that I will hold for a life time. You can see what I got up to in <a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2016/05/usa-roadtrip-la.html"><b>LA</b></a>, and check out the breathtaking sights of the <b><a href="http://www.sunnydei.com/2016/09/usa-road-trip-hooverdam-grand-canyon.html">Grand Canyon</a></b>, you can even watch a 360 degrees video of the incredible <b>Antelope Canyon</b> below (rotate and move your phone to see it in 360).</span><br />

I also got to take the boy with me and he fell in love with the place! Again a guide and travel diary to Vilnius and Palanga the seaside town will be coming to the blog.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One sunny and rather hot summer evening me and my bestie Kate drank wine and booked a getaway to <b>Croatia</b> on a whim. We met bears, picked pomegranates for the first time and experienced the sea playing music for us. You can watch our little adventure in the video below and I’ll be uploading a full post about Zadar in the next couple of weeks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You’d think after all these holidays I would be happy to just sit back and enjoy a quiet 2017, but alas that is not the case. I live in a constant state of wanderlust and I’m hoping that 2017 will allow me to have plenty of adventures. We have already booked a weekend trip to <b>Gdansk in Poland</b> in January and will be celebrating my birthday in <b>Iceland</b> this year! I'm hoping to get more adventures booked in as the year goes on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In 2016 I have started a <b>new job</b> (again in video production) which I’m still really enjoying so that’s a good thing in itself and I hope it continues well into 2017 and beyond.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have <b>passed my driving test</b>! I’ve never shared this on the blog but I can honestly say that it was the hardest thing that I’ve ever done in my life. Since I started school I’ve always been good at exams, I’ve been good at education, I’ve been good at job interviews and so to fail at something (unfortunately more than once) really took its toll on me. To the point that my anxiety on the test would get so bad that I couldn’t even think or see straight. The waiting times in Leeds are about 3-4 months long at the minute so this meant that the whole experience was dragged out for way longer than I wanted. I was so close to giving up so many times. The boy wouldn’t let me and I’m so glad for his extra push. I actually discovered a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgI48j_Dghg">hypnosis video</a> on youtube which really helped me to make my driving test anxiety much better and earlier in the year I finally passed. Hoorray! Also moral of this story? If something is really hard, don’t give up because you got this, even if it takes time you got this!</span></div>

I started my own youtube channel! I work in video production by day but I'm so used to being behind the camera it took quite a lot of guts for me to get in front of it. I have shared some of my travel adventures and even hosted twitter question and answer video with Corinne which you can see below. I'm planning to do more fun travel videos in 2017 so please <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2bmDgnTTlvkQ7m1-pQRmDA">subscribe</a></b>.</div>
