GoNutrition - Why its the best around!

I can't be the only person who is totally obsessed with jammie dodgers? Before I get into the incredible information regarding this big up and coming company lets just take a second to appreciate that GoNutrition have made a jammie biscuit flavoured protein which is down right delicious! I know they're geniuses right? How does that even work?! 

I first came across GoNutrition via Instagram, the protein industry is a vast one with many new companies seeming to pop up daily, however after spotting that their protein powders are from free range grass fed cows and at extremely affordable prices I knew that I needed to divulge a little further to find out more information on this up and coming company and boy oh boy am I glad I did! 

GoNutrition is a new venture by Oliver Cookson. For those of you that don't know he is the founder of myprotein.. Yes you read that correctly and I would be extremely surprised if you don't already have some sat in your cupboard, straight away this tells me that I'm going to be receiving a high end product with superb results! 

GoNutrition offer a very wide range of flavours and at such affordable prices this was right up my street. For those of us who gym daily and make eating well part of our day to day lifestyle finding high end delicious tasting protein is up there on our list of agendas. For me personally, I like to change my flavours and experiment as much as possible, sticking to just one flavour soon becomes very boring for me so with Gonutritions vast range I can change them often without breaking the bank. 

I will leave you guys to browse the site yourself to see the incredible 14 flavours they offer but here's just a sneak peak at a few; 

Blueberry cheesecake 

Caffe latte 

Chocolate orange 

Strawberries and whipped cream

So why is GoNutrition the protein to buy? 

Firstly it is sourced directly from the world renowned Muller dairy which is based in Germany. This is the leading manufacturer of whey protein in the WORLD. By sourcing directly they can guarantee high end products that are fully traceable. All of the milk that is used to produce their protein is sourced from free range, grass fed cows and is completely GM and hormone free. There is absolutely NO artificial colourings and they consist of 100% natural flavourings.

Whey protein is one of two types derived from cows, whey is absorbed much faster than other forms of protein making it an excellent addition to anybodys daily goals. Consuming the correct amount of whey protein is going to mean that you're going to grow and recover much more quickly which you guessed it means more time in the beloved gym! 

So we now know we are getting a high end product which is going to give us the results we desire but at affordable prices. If you're anything like me you have bought protein before based on how it is produced amongst other things, been SO excited to receive it that you're literally waiting to jump the postman, you snatch it out of his hand and head straight to the kitchen to finally taste this wonderful new product which is going to change your life... Then you taste it... and it's awful! Well I am happy to tell you guys that these flavours are AMAZING. It's hands down the best protein I have ever tried (trust me I've tried a few) the triple chocolate flavour for example if far better than other rivals at a fraction of the cost and I think I've already expressed my new love for Jammie biscuit flavour. I finally have a protein that's giving me the results I need and actually feels like I'm having a naughty treat rather than forcing another super sweet sickly protein shake down purely for the benefits. It tastes brilliant with both water or milk (I personally enjoy mine with almond milk) they mix incredibly well with no nasty lumps. Big thumbs up! 

Lets talk packaging... The first thing I noticed was that it is a proper zip lock bag... Hooray! It also comes with a free scoop to guarantee correct portions. The bag itself is also see-through via the side meaning I can see exactly when I want to start ordering my next flavour! 

I've already incorporated the triple chocolate flavour into some high protein low carb muffins and they tasted SO good! You can check the recipe out here!

Miracle mud mask!!

Epoch Glacial Marine Mud Mask 

Everybody knows I love to spend allll of my money on beauty products (and fooooood obviously) but I'm always SO big on skincare. I own so much makeup but I think taking care of your skin always has to be the bigger picture! I only tend to actually wear makeup maybe four days a week to try keep my skin in tip top condition... 

I've found the answer Nu Skin! I've been using some products from their range for some time now and I love them so much that I've decided to become a distributor so you girls can jump on the band wagon with me! I had used the whitening toothpaste before but once I saw the likes of Michelle Kegan and Towie Stars using this mud mask I knew I needed to try it! 

So in a nut shell let me tell you what it does, it will extract impurities, remove dead skin cells and nuture your skin... all at the same time! The best part is it a bottle lasts such a long time - a little really does go a long way. 

EWWWW look at that picture right there! 

It's 100% improved my skin and I make sure I use this twice a week, it's now a staple in my beauty regime! 

Have you tried this before? If you haven't and would like to then contact me for a bottle now. 

I have plenty more products I will also be sharing with you guys including an amazing polishing peel!!

Favourite go to casual outfit

All of us girls love getting all dressed up and feeling drop dead gorgeous however I'm one of those girls that usually chooses comfort first, ugh does that make me a poor excuse of a woman? I spend as much time as I possibly can in my dressing gown and when I do have to drag myself away from it, it's usually for something super comfy... A flannel shirt obviously!

I really loved the print on this shirt, everyone is wearing flannel shirts at the moment so it was nice to find one which had a different print over the usual plain check. I bought it in a size 6 and it's perfectly oversized. It has cute splits to the side and is slightly longer to the back with a curved hem. I really didn't think this would suit me at all but I actually love it! I got it half price from the Norwich primark for a fiver which was an absolute steal but don't panic they had a wide range of sizes left!

I teamed this shirt with a pair of ripped skinny black jeans, because let's face it.. Who doesn't love a pair of ripped jeans?

Now these right here are hands down the comfiest shoes my feet have ever had the pleasure of wearing! Say hello to my Nike huaraches! I would wear these all day every day if I could (but obviously I refrain) I picked these because I wanted a plain colour so they would be more versatile however this pattern still really makes them stand out. 

So there you have it, my super casual and super comfy outfit! 

Shirt - Primark £5 

Jeans - Topshop £42.00

Trainers - Nike huarache £95.00

What's your favourite go to outfit?

Creme De La Mer - Is it worth the big bucks?

Creme De La Mer is one of those products you're constantly seeing in magazines and hearing that all the celebrities use. With its smallest bottle 30ml being £105 it's not something you really want to be plunging into without much consideration so I decided after having first used this 3 years ago that I would share my thoughts... 




Creme De La Mer was developed by a NASA scientist, Dr. Max Huber, who had some sort of experiment explode in his face leaving him with severe burns. He couldn't find any products to repair his face so spent 12 years perfecting a skin care product that would heal his skin. Straight away you're thinking wow a scientist? This isn't a dermatologist. This right here is a scientist, a scientist who made a treatment to heal his BURNS!? It was also bought out by Estée Lauder in 1966 (we all know how much I love Estée Lauder) 


The product comes in a minimalistic white jar with a spatula so you can remove the product without contaminating the rest. When you remove the moisturiser it is a very thick white cream, to apply you should warm it up between your fingers at which point it will turn into an almost see through liquid. This took me a while to wrap my head around, I was convinced that I had just spent a small fortune moisturising a couple of fingers! However don't panic, apply with pressing motions on both cheeks, forehead and neck and you will instantly feel this sinking into your skin! Now I know some people use this in the morning and evening however this isn't something I personally use prior to my makeup. I see this more as a night time product and use it before bed due to the fact I feel it takes a good twenty minutes to sink into my skin although with saying that I'm sure I wake up some mornings and can still feel it which I'm certainly not complaining about!

This cream is SO hydrating and definitely leaves me with glowy skin (I know that's the biggest cliche ever, it's so true though) I have very sensitive skin and this hasn't made me break out at all - hooray!

The smell is a crisp clean floral smell and is not at all overpowering.
I absolutely adore this product and it's by far my favourite moisturiser, it makes me skin look glowy, moisturised and all over smoother. This is my absolute go to product during the winter months and it never disappoints!



I've tried a few products from the Creme De La Mer range would you like to hear about those too? Have you used any of the products yourself?
