Do you have a song?

So its coming to the end of term and everything is starting to get a bit much; your work load, your friends, you commitments. Any of this sound familiar? I guess we are all in the same boat! If you're anything like me, in times like these you've put on your onesie, got yourself a glass of mulled wine, and an apple pie and just chosen to hibernate for a bit under your duvet.

Ibiza 2014

Livy Monts Sunday, 23 November 2014

So, I'd be lying if I said that this wasn't one of the best holidays of my life! Ive done Magaluf, and I've done Ayia Napa, and they're both great in different ways. But its true, Ibiza really is all about the music! The entire atmosphere of the place is amazing! I initially set off for 3 days with 6 of my girl friends, staying in the Tropical Hotel. However, what went from 3 nights, turned into 8 nights and as my girls flew back to England, I stayed on the party island with my friend Emily who was doing a season out there. Best decision I made! I had the best of both worlds, holidaying with my girls and partying hard, enjoying the tourist side of things. Then experiencing the workers life and the less touristy side, but still partying just as hard!

Where have I been?

Livy Monts Saturday, 22 November 2014

Hello lovely readers...for those of you who are still with me, its been a while! I have no excuse other than having the summer of my life and being super busy. But with my new blog revamp I'm more excited than ever to be back on the blogging "scene", don't worry I'll come back to that later!

I thought so get the ball rolling I'd start off by doing a few posts on my summer, which I'm sure will feel like forever ago for everyone, with snow nearly looming and christmas trees popping up everywhere! However I feel its only fair to pick up where I left off as to not leave you out!
Let me take you back to June 6th 2014!

Love me London Grammar

I hop on the crowded tube after when feels like the longest Monday in the world. Its not hot outside, its humid, but of course the tube makes it feel as though the sahara desert is your next destination. I can already feel the beads of sweat appearing on my neck, and I try helplessly to move my hair out of the way to cool down. But having 3 bags which are heavier than any weights I lift at the gym, makes moving at all a seriously LONG process.

Ever wondered, what if?

- 7 days wiser

Have you ever had a decision making process in your life where you feel like there are 2 completely different paths you could take. And no matter which one you finally decide to go for, you will at some point inevitably look back and think 'what if'. I am the epitome of that person, which annoys me a little as it means that no matter what decision I make, is my heart ever fully in it? If I look back and wonder what may have been different, am I happy with the choice I've made?

Just a short one from me today, going easy on the eyes! My wish lists from Topshop and River Island last week! As you know, I've been spending my days interning at Woman's magazine. While this is both a blessing and a curse A blessing for the incredible experience it is turning out to be, but a curse for my bank balance!

Healthy, Only for Summer?

Livy Monts Saturday, 26 July 2014

Its mid-summer, and all that enthusiasm for getting in shape and a summer body may have hit a brick wall, at at this moment in time, its not a wall that you can really be bothered to climb. But my good friend Daisy Tait is here to give you a little boost up the wall and get you back on track again! Full with new exciting apps and methods to help you on your way.

"So, as summer fast approached there is a sudden urge for getting the ‘bikini bod’. But really, being healthy isn’t just for a summer body – it shouldn’t be about what others think about how you look but how YOU feel. A healthy you, is a happy you – without trying to sound cringy and patronising, it’s true!

For most of us, a personal trainer or nutritionist is simple out of the question – they definitely don’t come cheap! So, for you today I have compiled a list of fitness apps, gadgets and methods (added a few top tips!) to help anyone on their way to achieving their fitness goals.

Seven (App)

This is a free app that offers an all over workout consisting of 7 minutes only (Although you can add more circuits)! The app tracks your activity, encouraging you to complete it daily in order to not lose a life and ruin your streak! There are challenges set and awards to be achieved to keep up your motivation. However, although the all over body workout comes free, the rest (including fat burn, core strength and cardio cost £1.49 each!)

TIP – Exercise in the morning before breakfast if you can, it’s more effective for fat burning, pushes away those hunger pains and then it’s DONE – you can get on with the rest of your day guilt free!

Breville Blend Active Personal Blender

Because who doesn’t love a smoothie? Especially when the container you use to drink out of becomes the blender? It’s quick and easy and involves minimal washing up. It also comes with a few delicious recipes!
