Hey Lovelies!
So today I managed a very happy moment. I noticed a difference in my body! The last few weeks I've really tried to eat healthily and be more positive about my body. I was told by the hospital I have over elastic skin and muscles meaning I'll bounce back into shape with no loose skin anywhere, which prompted me to kick start my healthy lifestyle again and stop. being. lazy!
I've been working harder at work. Eating healthier. And doing more exercise.
I shall be back blogging and tweeting more efficiently now :)
Love Rebecca xxx

Coconut Water!
Hey Dolls.
Today's post is about the much adored 'Coconut Water'. The brand I'm talking about today is Vita Coco. The lovely people over at Vita Coco sent me a lovely box of goodies contained inside was one of each of the 6 flavours of water.
Original
Pineapple
Orange
Passion fruit
Peach & Mango (my favourite, and considering I really don't like peach I love this!)
Acai and Pomegranate
I really liked them! I have mainly been adding them into blended fruit and a scoopful of my protein for a really nice nutritious break fast. But they can be enjoyed on their own! I must admit I didn't like them room temperature but really enjoyed them after they had been in the fridge. They do have a slight 'twinge' to their taste some would say a slightly sour note which will not be for everyone!
Coconut water is highly nutritious and good for you. It has been spotted on countless celebs and Rihanna has been the face of the brand.

Coconut water is more hydrating than a glass of water and in Fiji is used as emergency Intravenus fluids to hydrate severely dehydrated patients and is very common practise.
It also contains more potassium than a Banana, which is great! Considering I know a lot of people who think Bananas are baby food!
Hydrating your skin is not only good for the inside of you but also the outside. After drinking Vita Coco, I have noticed a difference in my skin, hair and nails. They have started to look a lot better and the quality is better too, my hair isn't as dry and my nails don't break half as easily anymore.
Vita Coco has a massive thumbs up from me!! I shall continue to drink it. You can buy it from Holland and Barrett if you're more interested in the flavoured ones, where as I know you can buy the litre cartons from both Tesco and Sainsbury's for cheaper at around £3-£4 dependant on offer!!
Do you drink Coconut water? Which brand do you opt for?

Fiji Water!
Hi Lovelies!
Today I bring you what may seem like an odd review.. of water?!
But this water is different, I tend to avoid tap water as it's not great and it's been chemically treated so more often than not I opt for bottled water. It's quick and easy and fits in the fridge.
As you might be aware in exactly 2 years I'm jetting off to Fiji for a month or two to volunteer on a Teaching Project and a Shark Conservation Project.
I love Fiji Water Company and their values for this reason alone!
The Brand:
Fiji Water was set up to put money back in Fijan communities and is currently one of Fijis largest exports. They are helping preserve Fiji's largest lowland rain forest. This is currently a habitat to animals and plant which cannot be found anywhere else in the world, thus being very important!
Also helping preserve Fiji's natural environment. Which is beautiful!!
Fiji water also helps schools and education is Fiji which is what I'll be flying over there to do also. Fiji water has helped build much needed schools out there and train up adults to become fully qualified nursery nurses and teachers.
To me the company overall are amazing and are helping Fiji millions! You may be thin king then why is 53% of Fiji population not able to get clean drinking water? What you must know is Fiji is made up of an Archipelago of tiny islands, so currently this is quite easy to understand. The company have installed various water tanks to parts of Fiji giving them 100% clean drinking water and a system to match. Amazing!
The Fiji Water*
The water itself is really nice and refreshing, you can't say a lot about the taste of water. I don't love water but have been starting to drink it a lot more lately, and I feel better knowing the money is going to a good cause!
I have been drinking the samples sent to me which was a 330ml bottle (odd size but perfect handbag size!) and a 500ml standard size. They also sent to spare caps, what?! you say. Well they came with a built in straw the caps I mean! I was fascinated by these and think they are amazing!
Fiji water can be found at Ocado and Co-Op mainly. Give them a check out. The 330ml at Ocado is £3.49p for a pack of 6 and the 500ml is 79p! This I think is very good prices!! For more information please check their website forwhat they're doing and how they got there!
Have you tried Fiji Water? Let me know down below!!
