Hello one and all, and welcome to Snowflakes and Sunshine.

After being introduced to the huge wide world of blogs over the last year or so, I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and start one of my own. I started writing one about six months ago, but it fizzled out after a few weeks – mainly due to my laziness and lack of interesting things to talk about!

So why attempt #2? A few reasons… Firstly, I love reading blogs like Healthy Tipping Point, The Inner Workings of a College Graduate, MegaNerdRuns and Oh She Glows. These girls (and many others) have inspired me in so many different ways. I love the fact so many health and fitness bloggers seem to live their lives to the full and aren’t afraid to chase after their dreams.

I’m by no means an super athlete (I struggle to run 5k most of the time!), but I’ve made a lot of changes to my life over the last couple of years in terms of exercising and healthy eating. And I’ve got blogs to thank for a lot of that (trust me, I would never have come up with the idea of putting spinach in a smoothie myself!)

So while you won’t get to read marathon recaps or discover ground breaking new recipes on here just yet, I’d love to share my exploration of exercise, food and a balanced way of living. I’ve by no means figured it all out – but I’m doing my best. A lot of the people in my life have very different attitudes to such issues as I do, which is why I’m so keen to be part of this fantastic community of like-minded people who get as excited about the likes of peanut butter and workout clothes as I do!

On another note, I’m also moving from my little village to the big city of London in about six weeks.

I want to document as much of that exciting experience as possible, and I’m hoping this blog will help with that. I’ve got a good feeling that the next few months are going to be the best I’ve had for a while .

Oh, and expect to see lots of posts about another true love of mine – travelling. I’ve just gotten back from Singapore and Sydney, and I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts on these two amazing places.

If you’ve made it this far without losing interest, I applaud you . I don’t really know what direction this blog is going to take yet, so you’ll have to come back and find out! 

To all the bloggers out there – what made you decide to start one?
