The world of instagram has made it so accessible for us to share and inspire each other through our healthy recipes and fitness journeys, I absolutely love it! I would never have thought to make a smoothie bowl topped with nutritious coconut + chia seeds, or cook healthy granola bars using only 5 ingredients, until I saw such […]
Banana, Fig and Cashew Smoothie
I’m addicted to healthy smoothies. Especially this easy banana, fig and cashew smoothie. One of the things I like about working offshore is the abundance of fruit, nuts and yoghurt onboard, all there ready for me. Pretty much all the ingredients I need for smoothie making! And thank god we have a blender. Although not […]
Sleepy Town of Frederikshavn
Sadly, days spent sipping cocktails at luxurious, bohemian hotels don’t last forever. I’m back at work now, offshore in cold and rather rough seas! Greece seems like a distant dream now, but not to worry, I’m already planning my next adventure. I’m hoping for a European weekend-getaway before spending a few weeks in the USA. […]
Beaches, Sunshine and Seafood
Ok I promise this is the last post on my travels to Mykonos.. there’s been rather a lot! Here’s a photo round-up of some of my favourites. The beaches, sunshine and wonderful food..I want to go back!
Nammos Restaurant by the Sea
Imagine looking out to clear, blue waters while sat outside at an elegant restaurant, eating deliciously fresh seafood. Welcome to Nammos Restaurant by the Sea, a greek gem on Psarou beach, Mykonos. The food is excellent quality, simple and light. The atmosphere is happening, with the whole restaurant transforming in to one big party later in the afternoon. Think party […]
Bohemian Luxury at San Giorgio Mykonos Hotel
When I was searching hotels for my recent stay in Mykonos, one of the first ones I discovered was San Giorgio Hotel, from the Design Hotels group. As soon as I saw the photos on their website, I booked it straight away. I just loved the authentic, bohemian decor. (And it really is just like in […]
Exploring Mykonos Town
During my recent stay in Mykonos, my sister and I had the most wonderful day (if not a little too windy) wondering through the cute town of Mykonos. The compact seaside town is filled with little, winding alleys, stylish boutique stores and cafes. It felt like we we exploring a blue and white themed make-believe village, […]
Dining at Matsuhisa, Mykonos
To continue with the Japanese fine-dining theme I have taken on, I decided to book a table at the decadent Matsuhisa in the Belvedere Hotel, Mykonos. This is another one of chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s ‘New Style Japanese Cuisine’ restaurants. Just the same as Nobu (perhaps you’re familiar with these popular restaurants dotted around the world), […]
Bill and Coo Boutique Hotel, Mykonos
I’ve just come back from a weekend girls-getaway in Mykonos, Greece. It was the perfect escape and just what I needed – sunshine, good food, cocktails and a stylish hotel to stay at. I’m so glad I chose Bill and Coo Boutique Hotel (booked through Mr and Mrs. Smith) as our first hotel. It’s about a 10-15 […]
Healthy Homemade Granola Bars
If someone asked me, “if you could only pick one food to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?”, is it totally crazy that I might have to choose granola? Just the thought of crunchy oat clusters, nuts and seeds gets me positively salivating. Now that I’ve gone and typed that out, […]
