Camden Town Adventures

Hey guys!!

So recently I visited the beautiful Camden town with a few of my friends from college Rubina, Victoria, Anna, Vini, Isa and her boyfriend Matt, it was so good to see them because we all go to different universities so whenever we meet up its always great fun. 

We spent two nights, 3 days in Camden, the first thing we did was visit the Camden market which was one of my highlights, mind you this was my first time being there and it was so beautiful, unusual, colourful and vibrant. 

There were clothing shops where you could find the most simplest of clothing like t-shirts and hoodies to the most outrageous shops like ones dedicated to Bob Marley, they had food stand’s everywhere so imagine smelling all the good food whilst strolling along the streets, to sum up Camden town it has a very hipster vibe to it.

After we explored a bit we stopped over at honest burgers to grab some lunch, you guys NEED! To find an honest burger restaurant closest to you I promise you they serve the most amazing burgers and by far it was the best veggie burger(the only veggie one on the menu so I didn’t really have a choice but it was so worth it) I had ever tasted and my friends thought the same about theirs as well below is a picture of my meal, I had it with a side of chips and you guys the chips tasted just as good, I had it with some lemonade and I kid you not even this was the best lemonade I had ever had it was so refreshing and of course the Brazilians Isa and Vini opted for their beloved coke :P. But for real you guys I definitely recommend honest burgers 100%.

For the rest of the afternoon we walked around some more and explored Camden, we found a little outside pub with an Alice in wonderland theme were we had some drinks, there was a live performer, we relaxed, had a chance to catch up, explored some more, photo booth goodness of course, again it was really good seeing them and for the first time ever I and Isadora finally got to watch Harry Potter from the beginning CAN YOU BELIEVE WE HAD NEVER SEEN IT, I honestly wondered what I was busy doing during my childhood.

So you guys I really do recommend finding the time whenever you’re in London to go explore Camden town, it was such a lively place and I really enjoyed being with the guys and having a great time. Below are a few more pictures I took I’m sorry for the poor quality guys I took these with my phone because I stupidly forgot to take my camera the entire time, Hope your all having a great summer anyways.

PS. DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT HONEST BURGERS WHEN YOU CAN ;P.

Why I Turned Vegetarian?

Hey guys!!

So this post as the title suggest is the reason behind my decision to turn vegetarian. I officially turned vegetarian on the 28th of April 2016, mind you I was exploring this option prior to this date, and the reason(s) behind this was a journey to a healthier lifestyle and I KNOW I KNOW a healthy lifestyle does not necessarily entail or suggest opting out from consuming meat and that brings me to the second reason for this decision.

Around that month, I had the chance to watch a documentary called Food Inc. on animals and the manner which they were being treated and also about the processing of their parts to its final consumers, from this documentary as well as a talk I watched by Gary Yourofsky which was posted and recommended by my friend at uni Manuela (who also has an amazing blog on inspiration and lifestyle i really do recommend you check her out, i'll leave her link below),

 I began to have a better understanding and decided it was time to make this change and I’m not going to lie it was difficult.

I started off by giving away everything meat or animal related and replacing them with vegetables, fruits and substitutes for meat from a brand called Quorn, I also invested in a book called "Deliciously Ella Every Day" 

 which I read and began to follow, this book was truly helpful to me as it gave me information on substitutes, nutrition benefits, and facts, ingredients, the proper way to store food and more.

The first few weeks were challenging I kid you not I even had dreams about eating meat LOL but I was truly enjoying exploring new recipes, I then decided to put fish back into my meals to help me more as I felt the complete drawback of meat and fish was a bit extra and fish is a very healthy source of protein , so occasionally I would put some tuna into my salads or some anchovies on my pizza. I also drafted a workout plan which I'll share in another post soon, since following this strictly I can honestly say I feel a lot healthier. Being aware of the health benefits is another factor that pushed me to stay committed to this lifestyle.

With regards to portions if you know me you know that I eat very little portions but spread out the day and I don’t know if this is good but it helps me to not overfeed myself.

PS, as I am in the early stages of being vegetarian or rather “pescatarian” I will definitely be updating my blog regarding this. I hope this was an informative read and don’t forget to follow the social media links and my photography page on Instagram.

Below are links to the documentary, the talk given by Gary Yourofsky and links to where you can find to purchase The deliciously Ella everyday book (:
