BEST VEGAN CHEESECAKE (swipe!) 😍 ➡️ one word: amazing. I’m not #vegan... However, being the true foodie I am, I will pretty much eat anything (apart from celery 😷). When it comes to eating vegan food, I can be a little apprehensive. However, I am always intrigued to see if a vegan dish will be just as delicious as a meat or fish based meal. The other day, I was with the @urbanveda team & some lovely ladies and we went to the @gaterestaurant for a Christmas lunch 🎄... AKA a 3 course meal packed full of flavour, surprise and goodness. This vegan meal was some of the best vegan food I have ever had! The main course was a butternut squash wellington and it was dreamy 🤤 the pastry was awesome! For dessert, I had the cheesecake and it was THE best - I can understand why it’s award-winning 👏🏼 no post-food bloating and absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to return and devour more of their food. Thank you @gaterestaurant and @urbanveda !!! Totally ready for Christmas now ❤️❤️❤️🎄 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #positivevibes #positivethinking #positivity #vegan #veganrecipes #vegandessert #veganfood #food #foodie #foodphotography #foodblogger #blogger #blog #foodstagram #london #veganism #christmas #wellington #vegetables #healthy

SINGLE? ➡️ Being single has been one of the greatest feelings. After a long term relationship, re-discovering myself was the most important thing. I’ve learnt to be alone and to be happy with that. I’ve learnt to have fun, let go and be truly free with my decisions. Relationships shouldn’t add pressure, they shouldn’t feel suffocating and they shouldn’t make things difficult. In fact, relationships are there to add extra quality and richness to your life 🙌🏼 I’m now in a very strong place. I have some incredible friends, I’m very goal orientated and I feel the most amazing sense of freedom ❤️🌸 as the New Year approaches, I’m going to be thinking about 2019 and how I can completely smash it and make it the best yet - lots of travel, lots of laughs and lots of memory making!!! I’m feeling very blessed to have some amazing friends beside me - including @life.bycharlotte . Just a reminder, if you are single —— it’s not boring, infact, embrace it for every minute. Make the most of it 🌸💁🏼‍♀️ #elleweekender •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #travelgram #healthylifestyle #family #friend #friendship #happiness #positivevibes #positivequotes #balance #relationshipquotes #happy #workhard #london #blogger #travel #mentalhealth #single ###

JOURNAL ➡️ from a young age, I’ve always been passionate about writing, documenting my life and reading. In various moments of my life, I’ve been addicted to keeping a journal. Not only have journals helped me switch off and write down my thoughts - they’ve helped me re-think situations, document my feelings and it’s a huge release for me to write down my thoughts on a page. The past few months have been very challenging for me so to receive this amazing journal off @makelifeamazing_ was like my prayers had been answered! Sometimes, I don’t always know what to write in a journal and I can sometimes lack inspiration to write... However, this journal doesn’t require much effort and I have found that so far It’s helped me really start and finish my day on a positive note! 💪🏼🤗 the journal prompts within the book are so so handy and they’ve helped me really tap into how I’m feeling. Some days and evenings I haven’t used it - because I felt like I didn’t need to. However, this is the perfect journal to pick up whenever you need it! Not only is this a lovely Christmas gift for yourself - it would make an awesome present for a friend ❤️. Have you ever written in a journal? How do you wind down and switch off? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #london🇬🇧 #happy #focus #dedication #focused #ambition #fitness #career #happiness #positive #workhard #londonist #northern #travel #travelblogger #lifestyle #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #femaledomination #femaleempowerment

SUNDAY MORNING PROATS ➡️ whether you have sweet or savoury - it’s important to keep the tank fuelled! I always start my day with something to eat (without fail)... Otherwise I’m hangry😖. Here we have - porridge oats, with a scoop of THE Whey+ with PhaseTech™ by @myproteinuk (swipe to see) and topped with some leftover @perkierfoods snack bar, some leftover @myproteinuk chocolate protein cookie and some sliced apple and some nuts - fibre, protein, fats and carbohydrates... All the good stuff 🤩. The @myproteinuk protein is their most advanced whey formula to date! THE Whey+ uses a combination of cutting-edge ingredients including GroPlex™ and protein to ignite muscle growth and help you stay on top of your game🙌🏼 - it’s a game changer and has made my breakfast oats so much more exciting. I LURRRRVE the vanilla ice cream flavour - subtly sweet and makes my porridge taste dreamy. This protein is also delicious mixed into smoothies or mixed with a milk of your choice! No lumps, no powdery badness and no dry mouth 🤭😂🤤 this protein ticks the boxes - thanks, @myproteinuk!!! Always delivering the goodness and never disappointing. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #foods #proteinpowder #foodiesofinstagram #postworkoutmeal #protein #wheyprotein #christmas #adventcalendar #chocolate #christmasfood #adventcalendar #myprotein #happy #foodieblogger #foodblogger #blogger #review #workout #gym #fitness

LONDON ➡️ Travel has always been something I’ve wanted to do... But it’s always slipped to the bottom of my radar. For the past few years, I’ve studied, worked and studied some more. This year, I’ve realised the importance of taking timeout to re-energise, re-think and re-align. Whether you choose to visit an exotic island or simply switch off your phone — ensure you have some time off this Christmas and embrace the moment. January will soon be around the corner! Next year - I want to travel more. Learn more and laugh more. The countdown is on 💃🏼🤗 there’s so much more to life than competing with other girls, experiencing rubbish relationships and dealing with negativity. I no longer give energy to things that don’t make me feel good and it’s the best feeling! Happy Saturday! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #healthylifestyle #happy #happiness #london #travel #blogger #blog #travelblogger #blogging #travelling #eatwell #experience #mindset #balance #focus #friendship #relationships #positivevibes #positivequotes #positivethinking #positivity

NEW PROTEIN POWDER (it’s affordable too!!!) ➡️ I am always experimenting with protein powders - from whey protein to pea protein and I am always wanting to see what’s the best on the market💪🏼. I have been trying the @cpnutritionuk range and I am sooooo impressed with the @cpnutritionuk protein.. Especially their #vegan range!!! In my oats today, I stirred in their chocolate Vegan protein powder which boasts a mix of 3 different premium quality powders; Pea Protein Isolate, Brown Rice Protein and Hemp Protein😦. It provides 26g of protein per serving🤗. Also, this protein... is ONLY ❇️£14.00 ❇️ HOW AMAZING IS THAT!? ❇️ I love stirring my protein powder into my oats, having a scoop in a smoothie or adding it to a brownie mixture. It’s incredibly rich in sweetness and chocolate indulgence and I’m already craving more 🤪🤪🤪... Have you tried @cpnutritionuk yet? •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #healthy #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #health #fitness #healthblogger #vegan #veganprotein #veganproteinpowder #protein #proteinshake #oats #porridge #christmas #blogger #blogreview #blog #foodblog #foodie #postworkout #gym #fitness

YES ➡️ to the girls who lift each other up and cheer each other on... Keep doing it. To the girls who smile at each other in the gym and don’t make others feel small - you’re amazing. To the girls who stand by each other and make a difference - you’re inspiring. Mothers, sisters, friends, female bosses.... The list goes on. Empower each other and don’t rip each other apart. You know who you are. ❤️ be kind, stand by the ladies who stand by you and keep working hard. I’ve had enough of women tearing each other apart, looking at each other in the gym in a negative way and looking down on each other. We are all trying to survive and if we do it together - we’ll certainly make an impact, we’ll be stronger and we’ll have so much more fun. Don’t be a b*tch. Smile at that girl in the gym and be her cheerleader, do a random act of kindness and don’t be jealous of someone else - instead embrace your differences and feel inspired instead. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #london🇬🇧 #happy #focus #dedication #focused #ambition #fitness #career #happiness #positive #workhard #londonist #northern #travel #travelblogger #lifestyle #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #femaledomination #femaleempowerment

HBC Christmas Market ➡️ For health and wellness lovers! This was the foodie health market of dreams 🤪❤️ whether you want to network, eat copious amounts of healthy food or simply learn from others in the wellness industry.. Then this was the place to be last weekend. I came back home with lots of goodies as well as feeling extremely empowered. The HBC (@hbloggerscom ) events are always insightful and empowering. Whether you’re a blogger, influencer or you’re completely new to the online space - their events really are amazing for anyone. The atmosphere is always incredibly welcoming and @fabgiovanetti is a true joy to be around. Thank you @hbloggerscom for another amazing event with AMAZING goodie bags (these guys know how to gift properly 😉). It was lovely to meet lots of different brands as well as connect with others who are starting in the industry! I’m counting down until the next event. Here is a sneak peek from the event 📸.. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #healthy #blogger #healthblogger #foodie #food #foodblogger #blog #bloggerevent #london #event #vegan #health #fitness #fitnessmotivation #gym #wellness

BLOG POST: TIME TO BE HONEST ➡️ A new blog post is now live (link in my Instagram bio @positivelyjessicaward ). This week I am going to share my body image and food journey with you and be honest about my experience over the past few years. Not only is this incredibly difficult for me to share but it's also an insight into my life. *As a disclaimer, I just want to say that this blog post is not for attention and I do not want extra engagement from this. Also, please be aware that there are some upsetting images included within this blog post. These are to show you the real moments of my life over the past few years. Also, I am not a qualified nutritionist or a personal trainer - I am sharing my story to empower and inspire others. If you need advice please seek professional help. ❤️ I can definitely say that my relationship with food has improved 100% and I am gradually becoming more confident in my own body. Self-love and self-acceptance are two things that take time and consistent work - but no time is ever wasted. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #eatwellbewell #happy #blogger #blog #depression #eating #eatdisorder #weightgain #weightloss #mentalhealth #suicide #confidence #gym #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdissorder #mentalhealthawareness #lifestyle #healthy #happiness

CHRISTMAS ➡️ Christmas will always be my favourite time of the year. Since a young girl, my mum has made Christmas so magical and having a Danish heritage means we go ALLLL out on Christmas and we take advantage of this time of the year ❤️. This image was taken in @johnlewisandpartners AKA where Christmas dreams come true for rainbow lovers like me! ❤️🧡💛🤪 @life.bycharlotte •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #christmas #christmastree #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #baubles #rainbow #decorations #lifestyle #blogger #blog #denmark #danish #xmas #london #travel

BEAUTY & I have a Q for U ➡️ I have never been a girl to wear a lot of make-up. In fact, I feel the best when I’m fresh faced and moisturised.. Ready for bed🤦🏼‍♀️. I also feel great post-workout when my skin is flushed with hydration! However, after attending the talk with @lisaeldridgemakeup at the #elleweekender, I was instantly inspired to delve deeper into make-up and the importance of looking after my skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold - it’s pretty epic💁🏼‍♀️. Thank you @lisaeldridgemakeup for inspiring me and for being a complete #femaleboss. Lisa is every aspect of female empowerment! What’s your top tips for looking after your skin? I would love to know! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #healthylifestyle #elleweekender #travelgram #makeuptutorial #makeup #makeupartist #makeuptransformation #charlottetilbury #lipstick #gym #workout #makeup #happy #positive #skincare #lifestyleblogger #blogger #blog #event #bloggerevent

FAVE BREAKFAST ➡️ now the seasons have changed and the cold weather is here in England.. it’s time I stepped up my breakfast game!!! 👍🏼 every morning without fail, I have porridge with protein powder and some delicious toppings. Today➡️ we have soaked porridge 🥣 oats (soaked in almond milk overnight) with a scoop of THE Whey+ with PhaseTech™ by @myproteinuk and topped with frozen berries, chopped nuts and a sprinkle of seeds - fibre, protein, fats and carbohydrates... All the good stuff 🤩. The protein I’m using from @myproteinuk is their most advanced whey formula to date! THE Whey+ uses a combination of cutting-edge ingredients including GroPlex™ and protein to ignite muscle growth and help you stay on top of your game🙌🏼 - it’s a game changer and has made my breakfast oats so much more exciting.
