I’m a snack queen, it’s no secret. I'm always snacking. On Instagram stories @emshelx I will often show my favourite healthy snacks but I thought I’d document it on a blog post so you can bookmark it and come back to, this is not to say I don’t enjoy my pizza, my Cadbury’s, my Galaxy because I do and yes I snack on crisps and cheese, but if you are interested in my fave healthier snacks this should help! I’m not going to sit and pretend I snack on lettuce all day because I don’t, but it’s about balance and moderation but hopefully this blog post will help you with ideas to stock your cupboards full of healthier snacks.

Now if you guys have been reading my blog for sometime, you'll know I love writing guides, whether it's my guide to the best trainers, the best sports bras to buy, the best workout leggings or even the best fitness tracking watches. I was asked on Twitter to recommend some good shoes to walk in during summer, but not necessarily trainers and I totally understand, often when I am abroad or even in London, I will have a 30 minute walk somewhere to dinner but I don't want to wear trainers as I want whatever shoes I'm wearing to look good with my outfit, ensure I adhere to dress codes of restaurants but be comfortable too (as comfy and lovely as trainers are, they don't always pass the restaurant test), alas, this blog post was born. Here are my top comfortable Summer shoes, ones you can comfortably walk in, but they'll look great popping into restaurants etc too.

Hey guys hope you are so well, it was my boyfriends birthday yesterday and I have had hundreds of messages on instagram (@emshelx) asking what I bought him and asking for gift ideas for loved ones. It seems a lot of people are in the same situation as me during this lockdown, ordinarily I would take Matt abroad for his birthday, spoil him with his favourite restaurants and do lovely experiences together, this year, not so much. When you're someone who loves experiences, it's hard to be locked in a house during someones birthday but that doesn't mean you can't make it fun. I hope this gift guide will help you, whether you're just looking for a gift for a loved one because you miss them (I sent my Mum presents through lockdown) or maybe you have a birthday coming up.
I will keep updating this throughout the year so get it bookmarked and shared as your go-to-for gift ideas!
