    🍰SUGAR FREE CAKE HUNT!🍰 in London. Raw, Vegan, Plant based | SKY CHRISTINA


    Hi Hi Hi everyone!

    Today I have for you the long awaited Cake hunt ( sugar free and vegan of course ).

    I promised a while back that I would test out and investigate some locations for sugar free cake for you all to go out and try – and here we are! The first part in many to come..

    To be honest, I thought we would fall short and not be able to find anywhere to get this elusive Sugar free, vegan cake, but lucky us – there are actually more places than I think any of us ever realised..

    All it took was for me to grab a friend, and do a little google search and now here we are 😛

    All of the places I visited were refined sugar free, so if you have just cut out refined sugars there is plenty options for you in the London area.

    Top tips:

    -Take lots of pix

    (f or evidence to show unbelieving friends, and convince them to join your sugar free side hehe )

    -Check all ingredients properly, and ask the waiters

    ( don’t get over excited like me and miss some key information )

    I really do hope you enjoy the video, me and hayley had an amazing time eating all that cake.

    Please do give the video a LIKE if you did, share to your friends and SUBSCRIBE for more content like this in future.

    Love and light

    Finally embarking on my Journey to Fitness! | SKY CHRISTINA

    Oh wow Guys and girls and everyone in between!

    😀 I literally just completed a very challenging fitness challenge, that in no way did I believe I would ever do. – Ah!

    Check out my journey here in this 2 part vlog I made :


    I have really been struggling to do even some of the most basic of things like standing and walking and going up and down stairs…. The pain I talked about in the video was a nightmare. I really had to push myself to get this done.

    And now I feel absolutely amazing! – I have tons of energy – even my butt looks different haha

    before and after 100 squats for ig.jpg

    ( screenshots from the 2 videos)

    – and I even gained 2+% muscle in one week – not sure if thats really good but wow! still a win for me.

    I am currently in the process of starting a new challenge… but that doesn’t mean I have stopped the squats – I plan to continue them on but just do 30-50 per day to add to my new challenge workout….

    I feel like I can do a lot more now and I am so happy I did it.

    I really am looking forward to my progress – I just want to be stronger , able to carry my own body weight with ease and shed some fat %.

    I hope you enjoyed the video or at least felt some inspiration to do more for yourself.

    Do you think you could do 100 squats for 7 days?

    If yes, why aren’t you doing it right now?!!?

    hehe
