#6 ❁ Frozen Desert fanatic

Hello again lovelies,

The weather has been marvellous the past few weeks and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than with, my favourite of foods, Ice-Cream! The best part of days like this is when, around five o'clock in the evening I hear a cheery little jingle followed by a familiar van filled with chilled sweet treats perfect for summer!

So an unexpected change in circumstances occurred  a few months back, when the sun had decided to show itself after a long cold winter. Spring had finally arrived. Sat in my room after a laborious day of school I hear one of those cheery jingles. But oh no, this isn't the familiar  'oranges and lemons' chime I'm used to but a new tune of 'match of the day'. I was distraught to say the least and refused to buy anything from the new vendor (which was painstakingly hard may I add). However, knowing me, I cracked and made a surprising discovery in the process. Here my lovelies is what I uncovered from my findings; not all 99's are the same. The delicious cone I was familiar with usually incorporated  whipped cream style ice cream with the chocolaty flake poked on top; this new 99' was composed of Cornish style Ice-cream instead. Flabbergasted by the change (though not complaining, ice-cream is ice-cream after all) I began to wonder, does Ice-Cream vary depening on where you live. Comments would be lovely discussing this topic, I'm really interested to find out ≧◡≦
The one and only 99' Flake
 Overall I think I've learnt a valuable lesson from all of this...
Don't be afraid to try new things, a little change may gladly surprise you!

On another note, I leave for Paris at 4am tomorrow and am no doubt going to order all food a la mode ,old habits die hard I suppose ;) I'll try and post some pictures from the weekend adventure soon after I return xxx

❀ Always, Deanna ❀

p.s. Only now do I realise how serious addiction to Ice-cream must be when I get infuriated by tiny little details like this, hahaha ;)

#4 ❁ Foodie Preparations

Hey guys, a quick foodie update in relation to prom,

I've got a really weird relationship with food. Everyday, especially prior to any event such as prom I like to plan out my meals so I'm getting all my vitamins, minerals, energy ect from my food. This is one of the few reasons why I decided to become vegetarian. I felt like i had too much fat in my body and I wasn't eating enough fruits and vegetables and wasn't getting my 5-a-day. I had very low self esteem and still do but the big change has made things an awful lot better. I eat a lot healthier now and I'm happier with myself, my confidence has improved no end.

So concerning prom this is my lunch of healthy snacks and a cup of tea (black with one big sugar)...

omnomnom

So will make up the healthier side of my diet and the buffet at prom will provide me with my protein, dairy, carbs fats and sugars to balance everything out.

❀ Always, Deanna ❀
