What’s Cooking Today? (3)

Home Made Pizza, that’s what!!

Every now and again, I crave pizza, delivered straight to my house by a dweeby teenager on his moped.  The real full fat version from Pizza Hut or Dominos. Thin crust please. American Hot being my favourite. Or Double Pepperoni. You can’t beat a mouthful of calorie-ridden carbs in your mouth [...]

This website is not just about makeup, beauty and all things beautiful! Oh no, it’s so much more than that. It’s also about healthy living, in terms of physical prowess and sound mind! All in all, the achievement of a balance being struck somewhere on the scale of extremes.

La Dolce Vita! (3)

8/18/10 •

Every now and again, I will veer off subject and post about things that aren’t beauty or health/fitness related. Stuff that I am passionate about.  As such this post will be about FOOD. To appease the fat girl in me, allow me to share a few pics from my recent trip to the Salento region [...]

Water is the essence of life.  The human body consists of up to to 65% of  water whilst the human brain is composed of 95% water. Blood is composed of 82% water so the importance of consuming enough water is quite obvious.
Man can survive without food for 3 weeks. However man will die after 3 [...]
