Fashion is edible!

Haute cuisine, Cuisine couture or Fashion meets food. Gotta Love it!

Although, it's known that Karl Lagerfield often dictates a size zero image for his muse and models which I'm not too happy about, I must say, the man can make McDonald's look sexy!

How gorgeous are these cakes and cupcakes? I don't think I could ever eat them. They're just too pretty to be gobbled up.

The high fashion logo lollipops are designed by Massimo Gammacurta. They come in different flavors including watermelon, pomegranate, wild cherry, apple and caramel. What a Genius!

I found these soda brands converted into jewelery so interesting. They are available on Etsy with the name 'funky junq'. I seriously wouldn't mind owning a few.

He may not be fashionable, but boy do I love this guy ;) (Spongebob). My birthday cake last year! And yes, I'm 5! :D

On a health trip

You always have a choice!

It's a new year and I'm certain most of us have all thought that "THIS will be the year I will lose weight, get healthy or get fit and toned. " Well I've stepped onto the weight loss path and have started exercising and keeping track of what I'm eating. Although I'm striving to lose the famous "freshman 15" I had gained while studying in Australia, I seriously want to start eating healthy and taking better care of what food goes into my body. Over the years I just felt that I was eating anything and everything without paying heed to it's nutritive value.

I've been reading various health and diet articles online and chanced upon an interesting article, 'What 200 calories look like' here

Now I'm not saying that we should count every calorie in each food item we choose to eat, but maybe just making some healthier food choices it will not only makes us feel fuller, but also keep us healthy and support our weight loss/ health trip

I posted the pictures from this article which basically tells us what 200 calories of a particular type of food look like. So a plate of baby carrots or a plate of kiwi has the same amount of calories as a spoonful of peanut butter and seeing that, isn't it sometimes better to adopt or reach out for a healthier option that you know is going to keep you far satiated than a teeny spoon of peanut butter or a 1 inch part of a doughnut?

After seeing this article, It really made me want to re look at what I was reaching for when I felt munchy or wanted a snack and often have adopted some of the food options mentioned below. Of course, yes sometimes I don't mind sticking my spoon in a jar of peanut butter jar ( I looove pb) or having a handful of M&M's when I'm craving something sweet, but more often than not, I'm trying to stick to healthier food choices and options

I found this article to be really interesting so thought I would share it with you. Hope it can help you as well.

Wishing you a healthier, fitter and a super hot body by the end of this year! ;)
