Walkers Hoops and Crosses
I like a bit of balance in my life. I like salad and fruit equally as much as I like cake and chocolate. Honest it is equal I promise!!! So when I heard about the Walkers Hoops and Crosses campaign I thought this is my kind of balance so I would like to help spread the word. I had no idea at all that a monkey would arrive with a book for me to read and a packet for us to try. But one did, he wanted to hang out in the tree so I let him.

Indulge in chocolate without the calories
Well I didn’t say you would be eating it now did I? What do we love about chocolate? Really nice chocolate I enjoy the smell of as much as the taste.

So I have been totally loving indulging in chocolate with the new ‘Chocomania Deluxe Edition’ from The Body Shop. The Body Shop has always been a firm favourite … Read entire article »
