When life gives you Monday, dip it in glitter and sparkle all day.

The most important thing is to snack on things that are filled with real food and nourishing ingredients that will leave you feeling energised and happy.
The trick is preventing yourself from becoming overwhelmed; just adding in one new serving of fruit or veg a day is fantastic. Some sweet potato wedges or guacamole make an insanely delicious addition to any meal, and they're such an easy place to start.
My illness is now in remission, and on a day-to-day basis, I truly feel amazing. I wake up with such incredible energy, which I never had before my illness, and I really feel so in tune with my body.
I don't know what would happen to me if I ate a bacon sandwich, but I'm just not interested.
I literally never ate fruit or vegetables before. My diet instead revolved around ice cream, chocolate, peanut butter and jelly eaten with a spoon, pick-n-mix, and lots of cereal and pasta - I was a sugar monster.
My whole thing isn't about being vegan, to be honest. It's more about a more natural diet.
I always carry a little jar of nuts around with me. I roast them beforehand with tamari and thyme to give them a deliciously rich flavour.
Before I changed my diet, every time I ate, my torso would feel burning hot, and the areas around my lymph nodes would really ache.
I'm not at yoga all the time, but equally, I'm not being sick after a night out.
I love really simple colours at home - lots of cream, beige, and grey with rustic wooden tables.
I have always kept my beauty regime super simple, but I would say discovering you could use coconut oil to take off eye-makeup remover has been a game changer.
A delicious smoothie is a really easy way of taking on lots of amazing skin boosting ingredients and was my first port of call every morning in the run-up to my wedding - I'll throw in frozen berries, banana, spinach, almond butter, almond milk, and oats for a quick breakfast quite often.
I literally couldn't walk down the street; I slept for 16 hours a day, was in chronic pain, had blackouts, never-ending heart palpitations, unbearable stomach issues, constant headaches - the list goes on.
Healthy eating isn't supposed to be about self-denial; it's not a punishment.
Making small changes every week over a few months will result in huge changes.
I've always been pretty lucky with my skin. I did notice a big change when I changed my diet and started to eat more natural foods in that my skin just got clearer and brighter.
There are a million different things that I want to do.
I'm promoting healthy - healthier - eating, not suggesting everyone should emulate me.
People criticised me for using too many exclamation marks and the word 'awesome' too much, but that's just me.
It's crazy to think my blog is being read by people around the world.
It's about making small changes at first and adding foods to your diet before you take any away; start with one extra vegetable or fruit at every meal, and hey, presto, that's 21 portions a week.
There's no such thing as 'bad' food or 'good' food.
I think if you don't enjoy something, it's not sustainable.
I really focus on natural products, so I love using unrefined products instead of refined ones. I swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa. I use brown rice pasta instead of regular pasta, nut milk or oat milk instead of dairy milk, and coconut yogurt instead of cows' yoghurt, etc.
For me, I've got no interest in being a celebrity, and I have no interest in doing photographs, going to this party or that.
I've always been such a loser with my organisation skills. That has always been one of my sad stand-out points.
Believe me, there's nothing I hate more than feeling hungry.
I still have a sweet tooth, so I bake a lot, but I'd much rather have one of my sweet potato brownies than a processed chocolate bar.
My aim is to get people excited about eating more veggies and seeing them as delicious ingredients rather than a chore.
I began researching natural healing, which is how I came to change my diet. Overnight, I gave up refined sugar, gluten, dairy, anything processed or refined, and meat.
You have to separate the negative into two categories - half of it is sensible, constructive things that has made us better. But half of the negative online is negative for the sake of being negative, and it's important for us to remember it's okay they don't like us, and sometimes there's no point in engaging in that.
I love yoga, pilates, boxing, spinning, and weight lifting and tend to do a mix of them all.
Social media is incredible: it creates a community that I'm really proud to be a part of, but it also creates illusions and a false reality, and it's difficult to grow up with that.
I can smell bacon sizzling or chicken roasting and appreciate the aroma, but I don't want to eat it.
Home-made smoothies are a great way of satisfying a sweet tooth. Adding in things like frozen banana will make it taste super sweet and creamy.
Healthy eating doesn't have to be crazily complicated; it can actually be so fun.
I was really inspired by lots of people I came across who were managing various illnesses through diet and lifestyle. I kind of figured, you know, if it worked for them, then I might as well try it and see if it works. So I did.
My main aim is to change our perception of how we look at vegetables because I think vegetables have always been put on the side - it's always been your steamed broccoli or boiled broccoli with your meat.
It's so cool, the number of emails I get from people saying I changed their life. It's pretty crazy.
It was back in 2011 that everything changed. I was not a healthy eater at all. Up until that point, I was a student and a complete sugar addict.
On a weekday, I'll go for a big bowl of creamy porridge with almond butter and berries if I'm at home, or a super quick chia seed breakfast if I'm running out the door first thing.
With eating well, there's a perception that it's depressing. People think they're just going to meditate and eat kale.
I find both yoga and pilates awesome at calming my mind and strengthening my body.
I love exercise, but I didn't join a single sports club as a student - I have no hand-eye coordination. Things like yoga are amazing, but anything with a ball just isn't for me.
I always moisturise in the morning, put my make-up on, and at the end of the day I take it off with coconut oil, wash my face, moisturise, and so often, that's it.
I don't have one favourite spot - I love writing anywhere that I feel inspired. I have to admit that I do love getting cosy in bed or under blankets on the sofa and writing from there.
I'm always cooking big veggie curries for friends with tons of spices, coconut milk, chilli - I'll saute potatoes in the spices, then cook them with all the flavours and stir in some chickpeas and spinach at the end before serving it on a bed of sesame brown rice. It's easy to do and tastes amazing!
I love Anthropology for kitchenware - they make the best bowls, plates, cutlery etc.
I spent ages learning to take photos, which was a lot of fun, and I think it really helped readers get excited about the recipes.
