Aaaahhh!!! the new year! The perfect opportunity to reflect on things that are working in your life and things that aren’t. For me, it’s a time of retrospection when i re-write my new year resolution (as i always do) which includes my food and healthy lifestyle goals. Hopefully, i’d summon the will power to stick to them all this time…there’s no harm in trying innit? :D. So, what better way to jump start the year than with an inspirational healthy eating post i put together. Here are some useful tips to keep in mind.
