It’s Hot X Bun earring week!

I looove hot cross buns, but only my home made ones with fresh yeast. The whole process takes exactly 2 hours but so worth it!

29/03/2023

Cupcakes today! Chosen by my youngest and quite fitting because I came to work and a lovely colleague of mine bought me a cannoli!

So it must be Thursday-cake day !

29/03/2023

Christmas avocados!
Why? Only cause I forgot to wear them at Christmas time 😂

22/03/2023

Grapes! 🍇🍇🍇

Cause they’re really yummy at them moment!

A nice handful is a serve!

I did see one of my kids eating them for breakfast today… mixed with Kalamata olives! 😳

14/03/2023

Oreos!

Only cause I’m still re-fuelling right! Hahaha! still have that craving for a donut! Better get back to wearing fruit and veg earrings!

🍪

🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩

How many donuts are good for you?!
None! 😂😂😂

They are a discretionary food to be eaten in moderation!

I do like the cream jam chocolate donuts you get from the Bordertown bakery! I’m lucky that is so far away that it is a very rare occasion I eat one!

06/03/2023

Black Cherries today!
🍒 🍒 🍒

Cherries contain heart healthy compounds called Anthocyanidins and flavanols …

Keeps the blood freely pumping!

Where has the hot weather gone? Oh yes Summer is over 😩

I’m wearing ice blocks today to will a few more weeks of sun before the cold really hits!

03/03/2023

Present earrings!

Only because our 2 girls have birthdays this weekend! Happy 18th today and Happy 9th tomorrow girls!

Definitely agree with these tips.

I’m a creature of habit in terms of sleep; bed at the same time every night (early) as I get up early to train daily; have a super comfy bed now with a copper infused pillow top; no large meals late in the night and generally no caffeine - although a cup of tea is a nice wind up for the evening, but then my body doesn’t respond to caffeine so I could drink coffee all night and still go to sleep.

A bunch of oranges or mandarins! You decide!

My 2 serves of fruit has been coming from frozen blueberries 🫐 in the morning on cereal and a yellow 🍑 nectarine in the afternoon.

27/02/2023

Eggs and cheese earrings! 🥚 🧀

Not sure why these came as a pair!

After being recently diagnosed with very low levels of lactase… turns out I can’t “handle” my milk anymore so have switched to lactose free.

Good thing is there is a much lower level of lactose in cheese compared with milk so doesn’t cause any discomfort after eating! I’m sure that still means to eat in moderation and resist gobbling down a whole cheese platter!

Water with fruit! Kiwi fruit 🥝 today!

I don’t mind a bit of fruit thrown in a glass of water! Strawberries, blueberries and lemon! Never had kiwi, I just imagine they’d fall apart.

Makes the water a bit less boring and gives you something to nibble as well!

I doooo like a blueberry or strawberry in a glass of French champagne… but I did get told off the other day for putting a blueberry in a glass of ‘good’ French champagne ! 😂🥂 🫐

20/02/2023

It’s been a while since I posted some earring shots! I got busy and probably a bit lazy but I was waiting for another earring delivery!

Well I’m back ! Today it’s hot so let’s kick off with ice cubes!

Does anyone have those ice ball making cups? The ice balls I discovered in Spain with gin…. ? Well as you’re freezing then, chuck In a slice of lemon… a nice addition to ice cold water!

Cupcake earrings! Why?

Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter!

🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

The garden at City East University of South Australia has been very giving!

I see signs of produce being harvested!

And look at the passion fruit and strawberries 🍓

Tape measure earrings for today!

We use tape measures in practice and in our research trials as an indicator of abdominal adiposity or abdominal fat.

We do this by measuring the circumference of the waist using a metal tape measure (so it doesn’t stretch over time) and according to a standard protocol to ensure accuracy.

Why? Because having a lot of fat deposited around your abdominal area puts you at higher risk of chronic disease; a risk factor for consideration.

So what should your waist measurements be ?

Thankyou to the mystery person who donated a few little pots….

We have planted mint, Vietnamese mint and oregano! We are propagating some thyme for the 4th pot!

No doubt the herbs will out grow the pots, but hopefully they get picked !
