Life Update!

Hello all you lovely people, 

So just a bit of a life update as I'm sure you have noticed i have not posted for a while. 

It has been a crazy few weeks and i have not stopped and had a chance to catch up.

To start with my contract finished at work so was going through a transition period of changing jobs which meant going for interviews and prepping which took so much of my time. 

I then secured a role which was fantastic news and am very happy, so i jetted off to Greece to see some family. If you follow my on Instagram you would have seen some of my holiday posts. 

The days away were amazing and loved spending time with family to really relax.

I then came back and my parents went away for 10 days so was left to look after the house. It was a crazy 10 days with looking after the house, fiancé and starting a new job. Adjusting took some getting used to as i have never been left with the house before. I loved every minute of it and now have the itch to move out and get my own place. 

I have also been feeling so unmotivated so wasn't sure what to do. So i have decided to write a life plan along with a bucket list. I am feeling slightly more motivated now and getting back into the swing of things but is just taking some time. 

Once i have completed my Bucket List i will defiantly be doing a post about it and take you though my experiences. I am really excited about the journeys to come and hope you all stick along for the ride.

Have you started a Bucket List or written a Life plan i would love to hear your experiences and any motivation tips you may have. :)

Benefits of Green Tea

Hello Beauties, Now i know that when we think of Green Tea its not the drink that everyone will jump too. However, it is surprisingly filled with such healthy properties we would be foolish to turn it down. 

Green Tea contains Bioactive ingredients which improve General health

Green Tea is more than just a funny coloured tea, it contains so many important nutrients to help your body. 

It is full of polyphenols like flavonoids and catchins which are a powerful antioxidant reducing the free radicals in our body. Free radicals are shown to help reduce the ageing process and protects against diseases. 

One powerful antioxidant which can be found in Green Tea is Epigallocatechin Gallate, which is often used to treat some diseases. 

Green Tea is a known Fat Burning and improves Physical Fitness

Yes that is right Green Tea will help you shed those unwanted pounds, and if you look into those fat burning supplements chances are you will find Green Tea in there. This is because Green Tea increases your metabolic rate, and Caffeine has been shown to mobilising fatty acids from the fat tissues so you are able to use them as energy. 

Green Tea can make you smarter

Yes i know this sounds crazy but it is true. The low amount of caffeine that is in Green Tea has been proved to act as a stimulant. The caffeine block an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine increasing the firing neurone and concentrations of dopamine and norepinephrine. It has also been proven to improve your mood, reaction time and memory.

Green Tea lowers your chances of cancers

The antioxidants in Green Tea have been proved to have a protective effect on cancers so it would be rude not to. Here are a few facts for you:

Breast Cancer: Women who drank the most Green Tea had a 22% lower risk of developing breast cancer. 

Prostate cancer: Men drinking Green Tea had a 48% lower risk of developing prostate cancer.

Colorectal Cancer: A study of 69,710 Chinese women found that Green Tea drinkers had a 57% lower risk of colorectal cancer.

Do you drink Green Tea, What do you think?
