Cadbury Fingers Salted Peanut Crunch review

Cadbury Fingers Salted Peanut Crunch
Otherwise known as - Indulgent Heaven in a box!

I picked these up yesterday from my local ASDA store, they were on promotion for £1 and being a lover of these in other flavours and also a lover of peanut butter I thought i'd give them a whirl!
I love the vibrant orange colour of the box and I think the gold ribbon design definitely gives them that little touch of 'luxury'..

"Deliciously Sweet, intriguingly Salty... Peanut flavoured bisuits with a salty crunch enrobed in a velvety smooth Cadbury milk chocolate ...relax, unwind and indulge!"
The description above is completely spot on! The velvety chocolate comes through straight away, then a slight tickle of salt and then the smooth yet crunchy peanut flavour! They are super indulgent and I'm not even sorry that I demolished the entire tray!
The biscuit inside has a crunchy, crumbly texture that melts in your mouth.. They are a fantastic Sunday afternoon treat!
If you like peanut butter, chocolate and biscuits then these are definitely for you!

Go grab some now!

Adventure Island Mini Golf - Star City, Birmingham



So last weekend we met up with my best friend Rachel and her boyfriend Kev and decided to go and try somewhere new! We saw the Adventure Island Mini Golf advertised last time we travelled near Star City so thought we'd give it a go! I've always Loved mini golf so couldn't wait to try it out!
It's the UK's first 36 hole indoor mini golf complex so it sounded quite exciting!
Depending on the day of the week you go, check the website for offers as they do some fab deals! The complex also includes a snack and drinks bar and they host both Kids Parties and Corporate Events too! Definitely one to keep in mind for future 'Team Building'!

They even offer £1 off for all students and the prices are super reasonable:
18 Holes: £6.45 Adult (over 16) / £5.45 Castaway (under 16)
36 Holes: 10.95 Adult (over 16) / £8.95 Castaway (under 16)

*************************************


How it works: You simply pay at the counter, each person gets given their own club and you choose your coloured golf ball, you get the team score card and you're ready to go! There are 2 courses inside; 
Hidden Cove Challenge
"takes you around the base of the dormant volcano and then past Adventure Falls and on into Lost Settlers Cave!"
or
Lost Hut Trail 
"starts on a ridge above the Hidden Cove Challenge and meanders through towers of rock and old island villages"

****************************************


The course was really fun to play with a fantastic theme and fun obstacles, the course can be deceiving though as sometimes the holes aren't as flat as they may seem!
We spent a good 90 minutes atleast in there playing 18 holes!
It would be a great rainy-day activity and perfect for all ages and abilities - I felt like I was back at a Haven camp as a child!

***********************************************
OPENING HOURS
Sunday - Thursday 10.30am til 11pm
Friday - Saturday 10.30am til Midnight

************************************************


They have a combo deal right now that we took advantage of - 18 holes of mini golf and 1 game of bowling for only £12 per person! It's a fab day out and doing 2 activities really made the day super enjoyable so i'd definitely recommend it! The boyfriend hit a STRIKE in bowling for the 3rd time ever so I was super proud too!
*relationship love*

Check out the rest of their deals and more info on their website: http://adventureminigolf.co.uk/
*this review is completely honest and I was in no way compensated for my opinions

Weekly Playlist #1


So I will be making this a weekly feature, a list of 10 songs that have been my Playlist for that given week.
This week I have been working super hard helping my best friend finish his decorating last minute, painting, cleaning and with general moral support too!


This week seems quite a rock based one as I feel they have a good rhythm for painting and great lyrics too! Songs that are fun, that don't have a serious vibe so are great for being with friends and eliminating stress!
So here is my weekly playlist: They're all linked directly to YouTube so have a listen if you wish!

I'm absolutely addicted to the western and fringe trend this Summer and I can't wait to get my hands on some more pieces!

A perfect top to battle the lovely heat we've been having and to keep me comfortable. It's the perfect length with cut-out to make you feel summery without bearing your tummy too.
You know when  you just find a piece that you try on and instantly want to live in it as it makes you feel so amazing?? That is this top!

Health & Fitness Update - Week 9

So this week has been a continuation and I'm seriously thinking I need to start changing up my meals a bit! I am still enjoying food but I just really do't want my meals to start feeling boring.. I love food and flavours so I think adding in more fruits and vegetables with different textures might definitely help..
We have also added in a larger breakfast of 2 boiled eggs with 2 slices of Wholemeal Seeded Bread and it is honestly delicious!

New Puma workout clothes!

I can say that I am enjoying food so much more now that I am eating more healthily and having one 'treat' a week.. This week our treat was the New York Classic at McDonalds and it was yummy but super filling! Although I did indulge in the large meal with a side of Mozzarella dippers too! I stuck to water for my drink though as I completely cut out fizzy drinks 9 weeks ago, this has made me feel a lot less lethargic and actually less thirsty! Fizzy Drinks I used to find made me thirsty even after i'd drunk them?! How strange is that!

Jillian Michael's is continuing to have a big impact and although I still feel half-dead at the end of the workout I also feel a lot stronger and can now get through the routine without stopping more than once, I just still really struggle with press-up's as apparently my arms have no strength at all!
I admit my stomach does look more toned than ever before and that really feels good knowing that my work is paying off and I can actually See the results.. It's amazing what only 30 minutes a day from home can do!

I am also super proud of the mister as he has worked harder than ever this week:
********************
Drinking 2-3 bottles of water a day (500-750ml)
Pushing himself to the limit when doing the workout
Taking Vitamin B-Complex tablets and drinking more Green Tea
Added in a Larger Breakfast to work off throughout the day
*********************
All this has resulted in him losing 3 pounds this week and he is ecstatic about this! Especially since for the last 2 weeks he'd hit a plateau at 13 Stone and he's now dropped to 12 Stone 11.5lb!

For the next week it's just continuing to work hard and trying to reap as many rewards as we can!
Have a fantastic week!
