The Skinny Bakery : Slimming World Friendly Sweet Treats

If you do Slimming World and are part of the Instagram Slimming World community, you will have no doubt heard of The Skinny Bakery and their low syn treats!

I have been looking at purchasing some for a while now and finally took the plunge. I found it quite hard to choose what treats I wanted but opted for The Skinny Gingerbread Men,  Double Chocolate Meringue Cookies, Skinny Choc Chip Cookies and Skinny Mini Flapjacks.

The treats from The Skinny Bakery are low calories and sugar, making them great for a low fat sweet treat! On the website in the description box they have the syn values for all of their products which comes in very handy!

I love the pastel card casings around the containers and think they are packaged beautifully and have the ingredients contents listed on the reverse.  They all come with best before dates, due to their fresh ingredients, so keep an eye on this (not that they lasted that long in my house!).

My favorite had to be The Skinny Gingerbread Men, I have a love for anything ginger flavored, and at 5.5 syns for all three these really are worth it!

Price wise, The Skinny Bakery treats are reasonable and similar to prices you might see in health food shops. I won't be buying these on a regular basis, as the price will add if if I kept on buying, but will keep my treat box stocked every now and then.

The Skinny Bakery are currently offering 10% off for first time buyers using the code STARTER10 - if you are interested in buying a few sweet treats to try!  If you can't pick they have a very handy option of a Pick 'N' Mix box!

Spring Wishlist : 2017

March is here and nearly gone already, how quickly did that come around!? Now we are heading into the first official day of Spring, what better to kick it off with a wishlist of things I would love to get my hands on!



1. New Look Jacket  2. River Island Top 3. New Look Jumper  4. New Look Top 5. River Island Jacket 6. River Island Top

A big trend I can see for this spring/ summer is embroidery. Normally, I am into quite simple looking chic outfits, but I have seen a few floral designed pieces I would like to get my hands on.

The 70's look of bell sleeves is one thing I am lusting over. This style sleeve adds something extra to an outfit, even if the top is plain and simple. I think it creates such a stylish look.

Another trend I love, and have always loved, is denim. Denim is something that is always on trend and you can get your hands on through out the year, but there is something about the pieces above which have something extra!

Having now very nearly reached my overall target weight loss (I am 2lbs away!!) I am even more excited to try on new clothes and feel amazing in them! - You can check out my journey here if you are interested https://www.instagram.com/slimming.jessica/ (I have recently changed my name on Instagram, therefore old links on here may not work...I must update them!).

I can wait to see what else comes out over the coming months. I am bad for buying new pieces and updating my wardrobe on a monthly basis! My bank account however does not love me for this.
