Let's play a game called 'Describe your dream snack'. I would go for tasty, low in calories, filling, healthy, 100% natural, cheap, easy and that doesn't make you look like a freak when you take it out your bag. Well, you know what? This snack does not only exist in dreams, but even in your local supermarket: I'm talking about pop corn.
Once upon a time, at the start of the summer, I decided to set myself a challenge and train myself to run for 30 minutes without... ahem, dying. I did well until a couple weeks before
heading to New York, in July, when my knee started hurting. Then I got back and I was fine, but my motivation wasn't. This is how a seesaw of super athletic / coach potatoes weeks started.
Last week my parents went on holiday and left me at home by myself, which means I was in charge of all my meals for the first time, fact that somehow led to being a vegetarian for said week. It started unintentionally but when I realized what I was doing I decided to keep going, just to see how it was.
When I saw the Avène Cleanance Mask on the shelves of my local pharmacy, claiming to exfoliate and absorb the oil from every blemish-prone young skin, I knew I had to try it.
I might as well had not.
Since starting the 'My Healthy Choice' thing I've been on the hunt for healthy food to add to my diet and oatmeal was one of those. I know that in the UK and US it's the granny breakfast nobody wants to have, but it's not very famous in Italy and actually I've never attempted to cook it at home until last month.
I must say I like it very much. I love that it's a warm and hearty food that will keep you full till lunch but it doesn't make you feel like you've had a whole turkey for breakfast. I'm also a big fan of its insipidity, if that's a thing, because I feel like it's a sort of blank canvas base that you can personalized as you please and I always have a bit of fun in the morning choosing which topping to use or which ingredient to add.
Speaking of that, here's four of my latest experiments that I hope you will find useful or inspiring.

I feel like it's been aaaages since I lastly did a review and I may have been a bit carried away by the 'Personal' tag. But now I'm back, ready to share my thoughts - like somebody cared haha - on a face mask I haven't really seen anyone talking about.

I've always been quite a chubby bunny and never had an healthy relationship with food, which means that in the last ten years I've been starving , cramming, trying every single diet on this world and even seeing a nutritionist. It took me ages to feel comfortable in my own body and understand that
everyone has a different body shape and they're all beautiful. (Also, I'd like to point out that Youtube and Blogger have
