vitamin water


I just thought I'd do a random post on my current obsession which is vitamin water. I've been drinking it by the gallon for about a year now and I adore it. At first I was a bit sceptical as I thought that they were just another one of those fad products that are just money down the drain but they are really quite the opposite. They have a mixture of different vitamins in each bottle depending on what kind of effect you are after and do a great job of perking you up after a night out or if you are a bit run down. I can honestly say that I can tell a difference in my mood after I've drank one of these as I feel a lot more awake and healthy. The packaging is ultra cool too so you won't look like a health freak popping vitamins all the time.

Defence - Raspberry & apple + zinc

This is currently one of my favourites as it has a really yummy fruity taste of raspberry & apple. The best one to drink when you are feeling a bit groggy and unwell.
Contains: vitamin c, vitamin b3, vitamin b5, vitamin b6, vitamin b12, & zinc.


Spark - Tropical citrus (b+guarana)

The best option for people at the office needing a good wake up. This one tastes refreshing and best served ice cold. Definitely take a bottle to work or school!
Contains: caffeine, vitamin c, vitamin b3, vitamin b5, vitamin b6 & vitamin b12.


Revive - Fruit punch (b vitamins + potassium)

This is my favourite one to drink at night as it is ideal when you just come home from work and want a little pick me up. The taste is nice and fruity but it won't wake you up too much as it's best to just restore your energy. 
Contains: vitamin c, vitamin b3, vitamin b5, vitamin b6, vitamin b12 & potassium.


Essential - Orange (c+calcium)

I find that this is the ultimate hangover cure or early morning wake me up drink. It tastes just like orange juice only a little sweeter to kick start your day. Definitely the most effective of the bunch but not my favourite taste. 
Contains: vitamin a, vitamin c, calcium, vitamin e, vitamin b3 (niacin), vitamin b5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin b6, vitamin b12 & potassium.


They also have really well written descriptions on the side to have a read of when you are waiting for your train or bored at work/college.


You can buy vitamin water from lots of shops that sell drinks/snacks but my favourite place to stock up and find the most flavour options is Waitrose. They cost around £1.42 per bottle and every now and then are on offer. My favourite bottle of all is dragon fruit which I will hopefully review soon along with the other three flavours which they sell.

skating on thin ice


I went for a walk today to a fen just down the road from where we live and it was amazing. Everything had iced over and usually where there would be a big area of water had completely frozen and we met some people there who were ice skating on it. People have actually been doing it for hundreds of years but it takes a proper cold winter to freeze the water fully so that it's safe enough. I decided to walk into the middle of where there would usually be a small lake and my dog loved slipping about on the ice.
