Homemade Almond Milk

When homemade becomes pop in this household, even milk is made at home. Few days ago I came across a nut milk bag and from there I got an Idea that I will try to make my milks by myself.

Also one positive side of doing homemade nut milks is that it is cheaper than buying milk from supermarket and you know exactly what is inside of it.

when you buy almond milk or coconut milk from supermarket it is really important to check the labels what's inside of the milk, since they are not always as healthy as you think. There can be lots of preservatives inside and also if you don't keep on eye the sugar level of the milk, it can be extremely high.

And one other good thing of doing your nut milk is that from the leftover pulp either it is coconut or almond you can turn it into a flour, and reuse it for example for cookies or any other kind of food you prefer

I already tried last night coconut milk and I was so happy when I realised that, it actually tasted really good so I really wanted to go to get those almonds and try it.

It is actually really simple to do it. All you need are naked/blanched almonds, water and blender. It is as easy as it sounds

1 Cup of bleached Almonds
3 Cups of fresh water

And if you like to make it sweetened, add couple of dates inside


1. Soak the almonds overnight in a bowl of water. After at least six hours rinse the water but do not dry the almonds
2. Add the almonds into blender and blend together until it looks well blended
3. Pour the liquid over a nut milk bag and squeeze all the rest of the liquid from the pulp that is left
4. Place the milk in air tight container and use it within 5 days
5. reuse the pulp to turn it into almond flour

Memories from Disney

Time has passed and it's been already two months since we came back from Walt Disney World and it's already Christmas time.
Hopefully next year we are able to see Disney at the Christmas time, from the pictures on Instagram, it looks amazing. Christmas under sunshine- waiting to experience that

We did stay at the Disney resort for 10 days and we were really lucky since the Hurricane was over already, even though you were able to see some damage after it, it didn't bother our holiday.
It was a magical experience, we enjoyed so much that we didn't leave Disney site at all, even though we had some plans to go to see Orlando, but maybe next time.

We also bought extra tickets to Mickey's not so scary halloween party- which I loved so much. My very first time to go for trick or treat, it  was the thing we did a lot, even though there were characters you are able to see only during the special events, but we didn't want to waste all the time in a queue, so we were collectin candy. However, when we were at the airport going back home, we didn't realise to put the candy into the checked baggages, and we had to throw all the candy away. I was lucky that I did try couple of the candies before we did it

Next time we will plan the holiday a bit before hand, since we weren't sure how everything is, I didn't realise that I have to book Princess royal table breakfast 6 months before hand, we didn't have a chance for that, but we did go to have a breakfast with Winnie the pooh and friends and once again we were so happy about the breakfast. So next time we'll see if we are able to have a possibility to have breakfast with the princesses at the castle

See ya real soon!

Happiness is...

To find a new delicious, but still healthy breakfast. Recently Instagram has been full of this delicious super food breakfast bowls, Açai bowl. Since everyone has been posting pictures of it I decided to try it out and I agree that it is an awesome breakfast or even a snack in the afternoon.
I made it really simple just blended together a frozen banana, açai powder and water. There are thousands of possibilities to do it, and the best thing is that you can top it with your favourite toppings. This morning I went to the market near my home and bought some fresh raspberries so I used them, chia seeds and raw cacao nibs. When I finished my bowl I was just craving more and for my happiness I found two more spoon fulls in the dish where I blended my açai bowl.
Past few days I've been craving so much junk food and I've been slipping a bit with my diet, but I hope I can get back to eating healthy again with this breakfast.


What is your way to get back to eat healthy, if you have slipped away a bit from healthy living?

Sunday

Sunday, day off and nothing to do is a very bad combination, it leads to a shopping spree. That's how was my Sunday and I had lovely lunch by myself at the Whole foods market in Piccadilly and from there I moved to Oxford street going through all the possible clothing and health stores.
Let's not put everything to a bad shade, I did wake up quite early this morning around 7.30 AM and I did something I havent done yet, but I've said so many times I'd like to do that, I went to a park and did my morning workout there and between the sets of the workout I even managed to find a four-leaf clover!
So what did I manage to find in shops today?
Number one thing is food and food suppliments. I chose to take a box of the salad bar and with that I really needed a cup of coffee, so that means almond milk latte. At first I didn't like the taste of hot almond milk at all, but I guess I've just got used to it since now I love it
Something that I see in quite many places, on youtube and here in UK, acai bowl, in order to make it at home I purchased acai powder, so tomorrow I'm going to have exiting new breakfast! I don't wanna get bored with my oatmeal so better to change sometimes.

And also I decided to try out something I've been craving for months, but it is quite expensive so I didnt't want to buy it before, but since today was kind of my pampering day I decided to give a try, raw coconut cookies. There are no words how amazing they are, I nearly finished one entire bag of them... Oops!
And my very last purchase was a crop top. I think I can call this as one of my achievments, it is my first crop top ever, since I never really felt comfortable to go out belly out. Not that I would like to do it now either, but the top is covering quite well, only in case I need to raise my arms my belly will be all visible, but I still feel much better now that ever before with this kind of top and I am in love with the top, It is a perfect top for the summer.

Heat wave and Stitch Hoodie

Finally the heat wave is going away from UK, it has been so hot, even rising your arm made you sweat. And my room has been like a sauna, should not get homesick though!
I am so exited that the temperature went back to around 22 degrees, because now I had a first time to wear my new Stitch hoodie I bought for myself as a birthday present! When I saw it on instagram, I knew I had to get it. And the package arrived last Saturday, but for my unfortunate the temperature was already on that day 30 degrees, so no chance to wear my new hoodie.
But today was the day and I am loving it! I cannot wait to get to Walt Disney World this September! There no one won't even give you a strange look, i get to be with my kind of people.
Also on the hot days I did cool myself down with bowl of home made frozen yoghurt!

Loving Earth Raw Chocolate

Most of the people at least women loves shopping, but I'm not really those people except when it comes to food, again. I rather do my shopping online than crawling all the shops in London full of people.
But like I mentioned couple post ago that I did go to visit in Planet Organic. I always find something to shop in there or in Wholefoods market. But since I was pretty much broke, I didn't want to spend too much money I sticked with chocolate and other sweet treats.

I loved all of them, I'm still getting used to my new diet, gluten free diet and sometimes I feel like there is nothing I can eat if I'd like to have a lunch or dinner outside. There are just very few places (that I can afford with my student budjet) where I can eat and now most of the time we'll eat in Whole foods market and soon I wanna also try to have a lunch in Planet Organic.
Anyway, back to the shopping I did in Planet Organic. So I had my very first taste for Loving earth chocolates, since this is the only place I am able to find it. I chose Salted caramel and rasperry chocolate and I can tell whenever I'll be near Tottenham courtroad I will always go for a bar of chocolate! A bad thing about the chocolate is that I am unable to control myself, i'll have the entire bar at once. Last time I realised that it is much better if I am buying only the smaller size.

If anyone knows any other place to buy Planet organic chocolate bars, let me know in the comment box! Or either online where you are ordering it (:

Mickey Mouse Breakfast Bowl

I really canno't wait until September to have everyday a disney breakfast or actually any meal. This wan't my idea, but by an accident on Amazon.co.uk I saw such a cute Mickey Mouse breakfast bowl and I couldn't resist to not buy it.
Finally the package arrived to my homedoor and I ribbed open the package in few seconds.
Now since I have been on holidayall this week I've had time to prepare my breakfast using this bowl. 
I can't even say how much I love this bowl, I am in love with it. I actually bought two of them just in case the other one brake or if my boyfriend wants to join me to have a disney breakfast together.

I love all the disney merchandise, they look so cute it makes your meals much more enjoyable, not that I don't enjoy my meals even with a normal bowl, but this is just e perfect breakfast bowl for a disney fan

These bowls are definitely at the moment my favourite disney merchamdise alomg my beauty and the beast chip mug from Disney store uk. What is your favourite disney merchandise of all time or at this moment?
