Wagamamas Dining Experience


I had Wagamama for dinner tonight and loooooved it. I've been there a few times before but today I decided to try something new and I was really happy with it. 
For those of you that haven't been to Wagamama's before it's a traditional Japanese and Asian inspired  restaurant that offers dining in a casual setting. 

I love the features of this restaurant, the service is always really friendly and quick. They've incorporated Japanese-style seating and the whole feel of the restaurant is quite unique. Anyways that's enough from me, i'll go onto what i enjoyed tonight... 

 pulled pork gyoza - this was delish **

 grilled pork bulgogi wrap

Chilli Squid with shichimi sauce

 Prawn Raisukaree

Teriyaki Chicken Donburi

As you can see alot of eating went on (obviously I had some assistance with that - thanks bae;)) but I really did enjoy everything tonight, I remember my first trip to Wagamama didn't end so well but now I've mastered the art of choosing what's best on the menu. I didn't get to have a desert because by that time i was just too full, but next time i'll eat with caution to make sure there's room to try something from the desert menu. 

Wagamama' have recently added a online recipe book and i'm definitely going to have a try at cooking some dishes from there sometime soon and see how that turns out!

7Days In-Detox Update !

So I'm half way through my detox now and it's time for an update!

First thing to say is I actually decided against doing the colon cleanse after a lot of research I just found that it wouldn't be necessary for me, almost all doctors don't recommend it as they see it as unnecessary as the colon pretty much cleanses and takes care of itself as long as you eat well. I'd suggest you research into the colon cleanse before you start just so you can make an informed decision.

Okay so the daytox
Taste - I found that the actual tea itself is quite enjoyable, i'd say it tastes like an earthier version of green tea. For the first few days i'd recommend brewing the tea for no more than 3 minutes just so your body can gradually get used to it.  I've tried to have the tea at the same time each morning so that my body gets used to it.

Eating - I've tried my best to eat as clean as possible this last week but honestly i haven't been that great. cravings got the best of me..guilty. I'm definitely going to try harder next week.

Affects - Honestly I'd say the first three days were the hardest as your body is adjusting to the laxative affect. So it's soo important to start it on a weekend or when you have some time to be at home. After Wednesday ( the third day) my body had adjusted to the tea and I started feeling the benefits. I felt lighter and had a lot of energy. My tummy area felt really good as well - no more bloating and just felt better overall. The thing i like most about the tea is that it leaves you feeling so energetic so it encourages you to work out and be active.

Results- At this point I'd say the results have been feeling better and lighter which led to me exercising more as opposed to results in terms of weight loss. I personally didn't go on the teatox to lose weight but i just wanted to see what all the social media hype was all about.
The teatox is advertised as a "weight loss aid" but many people just think it's a quick way to lose weight. I've heard alot about people loosing quite a few pounds on the teatox and i think that may be water weight and the side effects that come from the laxative affect of the tea. I've drank ALOT of water whilst on this detox, one of the main reasons being because i didn't want to fool myself in thinking i'd lost weight when infact it's just water weight that you eventually put on anyways after finishing the detox.

I'm going to continue the daytox for the upcoming week & really try to eat clean and see what the end results are going to be!
If you've tried the tea let me know your results & progress aswel :)

Slendertox Tea

Slendertox Tea Detox !



Tea detoxes have been really popular this summer and seemed to just come up out of nowhere,  i've always been a little skeptical on whether they actually work or not but i've decided to actually try it out for myself and see how it goes.

Why I chose Slendertox...
There's a LOT of teatoxes out there right now but i decided to go with Slendertox tea mainly for because i liked the fact that i only have to have the day tea tox once a day unlike other teas which required you to have the tea several times a day. You take the sleeptox once every other evening. Also the teatox comes in tea bags already unlike many others that come as a loose leaf. so i mainly chose this brand because it required the least effort on my behalf.


Delivery from this company is free in the UK so that was an extra bonus and my order was shipped first class so arrived really the following morning from when i had purchased it.


I've already been eating reasonably clean and healthy for awhile so I've decided i wont be sticking to their online meal plan as suggested and i'll be working out 4x a week as normal so i'm really excited to see what results i'll get from this! I'm starting this tea tox this morning and will keep you posted on day 7 & at the end of the detox on day 14 :) x
