I constantly receive many emails from desperate mother asking me for advice as they go through so much with children that are fussy eaters. It can be really frustrating as a mother, as you want the best for your kids, and to see them eat unhealthy stuff or not eating at all could be a challenge for some parents. So here are a few tips that might help you hide healthy ingredients in their diet. Or even try to change their taste palettes to like fruit and vegetables. If you are pregnant of have a small baby my straight away advice is: 1. Don't give solids to your baby before 6 months 2. Don't start giving them fruits. Start always with vegetables and use mashed fruits just as a little dessert after their veggie soup. Carrot is always a good start for a first meal. Then you can start to add some potato to the carrot mash, then some greens. This way you will guarantee the love for vegetables for your little ones. I will soon publish a specific post about first baby meals. In the me...

As many of you know, I got invited to attend a crossfit class this week. I have always been curious about crossfit and wanted to try it myself  for a while. but the reason I had never done it before is because I would look at videos on Facebook and all the girls and guys that do crossfit are lifting crazy weights and is like they got possessed by some crossfit demon so I always felt I was going to go and people was just going to laugh at me for not begin as fit or advanced as them. So those were my thoughts on it. As I accepted the invitation I started to get so nervous for all the reasons mentioned above. Anyway I was gonna go to it no matter what so whatever was going to happen I had to leave with it (lol). So I arrived and the girl who was at the counter (Couch Mary) was super nice and explained me everything very well so I felt at comfort straight away. Then we passed to this room with is full of bars, step ups, weights and ropes hanging down the ceiling. It was about 10 girls ...

The Meeting House Review Hi guys as many of you know I was invited to a unique burmese brunch in 'The Meeting House' restaurant, in Dublin. The Meeting House is located on Sycamore Street in Temple Bar, and here is a little review of my experience. I arrived with my friend and we were welcomed straight away. I loved this as I hate going into a restaurant when there is no-one to welcome you at reception, and you are standing there all lost not knowing if you can sit anywhere, or if you should just sit wherever. So I loved that. Straight away we were served a deliciously refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail, which was made with ginger, raspberries and orange juice. I literally cannot describe how delicious that combo was! Honestly, I have to try to make that at home. I was very impressed by it.               Then, we were served a fruit salad which was full of different types of fruits, with a touch of coconut, really amazing and healthy! This pic...
