Finally Friday of the first week of the year! I hope you got through the week in one piece! Don’t worry, this will be an easy read, featuring some things I’ve been loving lately.
Friday Favorites #4 – Week 1
FAVORITE FOODS: WD-40 and microwaved tampons: secrets of food photography revealed by The Guardian. This article was a real eye-opener. Mainly because I hadn’t even considered it an option that the food pictures aren’t edible!

FAVORITE PHOTO: This is the photo from my instagram you liked the most this week.
FAVORITE WORKOUT: 19 Powerful Bodyweight Exercises for Strength and Speed by Greatist

FAVORITE INSTAGRAMER: Elle @Elle_KFitness is a beautiful personal trainer, who knows what she’s doing! She spreads (body) positivity as thick as peanut butter, and she’s just a joy to follow (actually one of the first I followed when I joined Instagram!)

FAVORITE FITNESS FASHION: These amazing tights from Purelime I got as a Christmas present (and yes my shirt says I’d rather be sleeping. )
FAVORITE BLOGGING: Feeling Like an Outsider in the Blogging Community by The Prosecco Diaries
FAVORITE VIDEO: I Am A Real Woman & So Is Every Other Woman by Kathryn Budig. Hanna recommended this video to me last week, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it and its empowering message.

Oh my god that smoothie looks bloody delicious! Have you got the recipe for it anywhere? Also, the link to your instagram doesn’t work under that post, thought you’d like to know so you could change it x

Thank you Mollie! I don’t fully remember the recipe, but it’s something like skyr + frozen banana + raspberries + blueberrie + a bit of strawberry.
I’ve fixed it now, thank you so much for letting me know (I feel so silly when I realize a link is broken weeks after it’s published, so I really appreciate you letting me know!)
