Healthy Homemade Bounty Bars | The Healthy Life

I have recently tried to get my fitness and healthy eating back on track with meal planning, a workout schedule and well, most importantly my own homemade healthy sweet treats. Because let's be real here I wouldn't go through with this if I had to completely cut out all treats - my sweet tooth wouldn't have it! So I came across this awesome recipe for homemade bounty bars that are 100% free of any nasties and so much healthier than the shop bought ones.

The Ireland Diaries | Visiting the Cliffs of Moher

Ireland

Number one on my list of places to visit in Ireland was the Cliffs of Moher. I wanted to go there for the longest time so I was really really excited to finally get the chance and hop on a bus on Thursday to drive up to County Clare and see them "in the flesh". It also meant I had quite an early start on Thursday with my friend going back to work that day and me catching the bus at Patrick's Quay.

The Ireland Diaries | Kinsale, Cobh & Cork

Ireland

On Tuesday, right after our usual breakfast of porridge and tea, we started our day with a walk down to the sea in Clonakilty. We climbed over rocks and enjoyed the sun being out to warm our faces. There were sea gulls crying, tiny waves rolling to shore and fishermen fishing - I wish I could start every day like that.. After our long walk we had more tea and some relaxation before packing our bags and getting into the car to head east along the coast to Kinsale.

The Ireland Diaries | Coastal Views, Gougane Barra & Lakes of Killarney

Ireland

So over the Easter break I spent a lovely week in Ireland, visiting my friend Audrey. I had never been to Ireland before but had planned to visit for the longest time so naturally I came with a long list of places I wanted to see. I had the best time travelling around West Cork and up the West Coast, looking at cliffs and marvelling at the beauty of the Irish coastline, looking at tiny fishing villages and colourful artsy houses all the time accompanied by the best native tour guide a girl could wish for!

Candle Love ♥ | RITUALS light the way candle

Lifestyle

I've been meaning to blog about this candle for the longest time now! It was literally the scent of December for me this one. I've been burning it in the weeks leading up to Christmas and I'm still lighting it every evening I'm home in my flat now. I came across it at Rituals one day when Christmas shopping in town and I fell in love immediately! It's from their rituals of light range, which was a special Christmas edition in 2016 and smells heavenly of oranges and cinnamon and a touch of vanilla, all the good things basically!

Magical Snow Walk with Evita | Photo Diary

Lifestyle

When a couple of weeks ago I woke up on Sunday morning and everything was covered in a thick blanket of snow, snow flakes still dancing in the crisp morning sky I knew I had to get out into nature and make the most of it! So together with my friend Christine we made our way out of Munich to take Christine's horse Evita for a wintery walk through the woods. It was magical that first day of proper snow! And I'm not talking 'light dusting of snow' I mean actual masses thereof. Let me tell you I definitely got my workout in on that walk! I consider it 'leg day' haha. I was also glad I opted for my trusty Hunter boots as there were bits of the walk, where I sunk into the snow almost up til my knees and yet arrived back home with dry and toasty toes :) Anyways, I keep going on about it.. here's a few of the snaps I took on our walk, so wherever you are you can enjoy some snow covered landscapes:
