If you follow me on Twitter, you’d know that I was surprised with a trip to Hawaii for my birthday. Insane. Y’see the Diet Gods must have been smiling upon me, because by some weird twist of fate, I’d completed a 5-day Dietlicious Cleanse the week before.

I was bikini-body-ready without even knowing it! What was great about the cleanse, was that it didn’t include days of juices only (although I’m a huge – make that massive – fan of Urban Remedy’s juice cleanse) this, my friends, was gentle. In other words, babysteps; exactly what I needed after a couple of months of over-indulging over the festive season. Guilty as charged.

LIKE I SAID, BABYSTEPS PEOPLE!

All the meals are delivered straight to your doorstep, pre-packaged and are all meat, wheat, gluten and dairy-free. They also include bread (gluten-free) and snacks (fruit, ginger tea, nuts and seeds) all portioned out for you. You don’t need to buy a single thing for the whole week!

My favourite part was the various ‘Super Smoothies’ featuring party-in-your-mouth flavours like watermelon, mint and acai. After the week was over, I felt great. Lighter – my stomach wasn’t as bloated. The only thing I really missed was indulging in a glass of wine over dinner.

The best part, was that all the hard work was done for me. (And we like that!) I didn’t have to think about being healthy – it was all done for me. Too easy. Click here to find out more about Dietlicious. (http://www NULL.dietlicious NULL.com NULL.au/) MC

Yo! Lady! I know, I know. Don’t give me that look.

Y’see this year has been crazy to say the very least. It’s been go, go…go. And just when I think I have a moment to put my feet up and chillax – BAM! – I’m on the go again. I feel like I’ve lived 4 months in the last 4 weeks. It’s been brilliant! Twenty-twelve is going to be a cracker. I just know it.

And to top it off, SilverFox just arrived with a suitcase packed, my passport and two tickets. I knew he’d try to ship me off somewhere eventually. Hopefully the destination isn’t the loony bin. Watch this space.

Today I share a collection of my new purchases, new prodz I’m trying out and a mash-up of things I can’t get enough of. Yes, chocolate is at the top of that list!
