Frozen Yoghurt(Yogurt) Party

Yoghurt/Yogurt

I have been getting more and more concerned with my diet since I started accepting that my body may never be svelte again and Kim K curves are my reality. I don't run to salads but I started drinking more water and I started running (on and off), and I am also thinking of picking up a sport.

One other thing I do now is over rely on yoghurt. It doesn't help that there are more and more frozen yoghurt shops popping up everyday. They are so delicious and they taste so much like ice cream. And my training app recommended yoghurt smoothie recipes so I have this impression that yoghurts are 'healthy', but are they really?

Research online suggests that while yoghurts are healthier than icecream it won't help taking it all the time like icecream and expect to not put on some weight. To be called an Ice cream, it must contain at least 10 percent milk fat. Ice Cream is made with cream, and premium ice cream can contain as much as 16 percent milk fat (I have to be mindful this one). Frozen yogurt is not made with cream and so does not have a fat requirement; it is made with cultured milk just like natural yogurt though probiotics do not survive the freezing temperatures.

Calories	275	221
Protein	5g	5g
Carbohydrates	31g	38g
Fat	15g	6g
Saturated Fat	9g	4g

As can be seen there is very little difference and even more carbohydrates. So making a meal out of frozen yoghurts isn't such a good idea. And its also best to top it with fruits, wheat/oat cereal, nuts, muesli etc. so you can get something good out of it.

In conclusion, remember that natural yoghurt has more benefits than frozen yoghurt.

I will have to curb my froyo craves to once a week or even less. Or stick to my homemade natural yoghurt fruit smoothies. 

Yum!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter / Game of Thrones

It's been a while. I have been good. Happy. Some people even say glowing. I have been miss 'tag-along 'and gone out everyday of the week. Almost. But so busy. 

I might as well enjoy my free nights if I am going to go back to school soon. Speaking of which I want to travel before school or at least get a schengen visa for Europe so I can go to Disney Land in Paris. :)

I haven't written fiction in such a long time. I want to pick it up Again. But you know life happens. 

In commemoration of the four day weekend, Happy Easter. So far it's been full and I hope it will be even more fun filled and relaxing and trying new things with new people. And of course abundant spiritual blessings and graces for me, my loved ones and everyone.

And Easter Monday is greatly more anticipated (I hope that's right) because of the episode after the purple wedding. Game of Thrones! 

Happy.

I Am Loving #GirlBoss

Sophia Amoruso #girlboss

I was casually going through old interesting posts on my favourite business/entrepreneurship websites and I stumbled across the Nasty Gal's CEO's story. It was more like tapping into what she did as a source of inspiration to entrepreneurs. It was just a casual glance but I noticed the popularity of the Nasty Gal brand spiking everywhere on social media and online. I started following Nasty Gal on instagram and then the CEO herself Sophia Amoruso. 

 #girlboss

Well I am now truly inspired reading an overview of her story on several sites and some features in business newspapers. I think I have a new girl mentor. Her book #GirlBoss will be out soon and I can't wait to find out more about her story and why she's the business world's new darling.

I will definitely get a hard copy and hopefully an autograph if possible.

Inspired me.

Ciao

P.S. Doesn't she look fierce in all her pics? :)

New Kit 2014/2015!

Chelsea 2014/2015 Jersey

Out with the Old, in with the New and Exciting.

Have I ever told you I was a Chelsea fan. Yes I watch Football. But only when I can, you see I can be very passionate about things and when we suffer a loss... a story for another day.

But now my team is just crazily lifting up my spirits right now. We had a shaky run but right now it feels like an amazing ride because things seem on the the up and ups and we might win the UCL. Yes I said it. :p 

My team store sent me some good news the previous week, that the new kit is out and it can be pre-ordered now to be shipped by the end of April. 

My solemn promise 'If When we make it to the finals, I'll get the new jersey and wear it for the match.'

Now just to pray ahead of our next important ties in the Premiership and against Athletico in the UCL.

Did I also mention the time is right? Mourinho back with us, an amazing line up with Terry and Lampard still on the squad... winning 'the Cup with the big ears' will be even more precious to us now than the last time.

Am so 'heppy'. :D

Ciao

MLMs: I Don't Like Pyramid(s) (Schemes).

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Pyramid 

Hi there.

Just a quick write up on MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing). It starts with someone well dressed and looking successful walking up to you, and they are telling you: 'You too can make a lot of money and live the life you have always dreamed of.' They show you pictures of exotic locations, 3-storey houses and luxury cars; you can't help but imagine yourself in those pictures smiling proudly. They finally show you that triangle pictograph with you sitting on top of a pyramid of your friends/network, with dollar signs 'arrowed' to you. But what they don't show you is the giant network of people sitting on your head. 

Welcome to the 'shell' of Multi-Level Marketing.
