Recipe! Cacao Banana Smoothie
This smoothie is my current new favourite drink. I guess it’s more of a dessert than a drink, but it’s delicious, takes about 2 minutes to prepare and it is actually full of nutritious goodness! Here’s just some of the great stuff that it contains. Raw cacao is massively high in antioxidants, and contains calcium, […]
My latest shower accessory
Last week my boyfriend and I went to a Water Smart workshop, which was about both the issues Perth is facing with water demand and supply, and how to use water sustainably.
