Tesco Healthy Living via Tesco Orchard

so this year i have been on my mission to lose weight, to really stick at it even if it slowly, i have joined the gym and i am eating better, I joined the Tesco campaign on eating healthy meals at Tesco, i was given a voucher for fruit as well as a money off voucher giving me a free tesco healthy living meal, i choose the sweet chilli one and it was delicious and i would definitely purchase again however i wasn't too keen on the waster chestnuts, the price was good and the size of the meal was fantastic, i love tesco fruit as it is so fresh and lots of availability so i was again happy, i would recommend to anyone to give it a try

The tesco healthy living range has a lot of different products in their range such as sauces, sausages, microwave meals frozen or chilled plus lots and lots more, hey are all at affordable prices, with lots to choose from, great tasting, low in fat, less calories, they make great products to make lots of different healthy foods for breakfast, dinner and lunch, what a great way to start a healthy new lifestyle with foods that fill you up and make you feel great about yourself.

With eating healthy i have managed to lose a pound in weight this week, not much but it is a start in the right direction.

These opinions are of my own, i was not paid to write this, yes i was given vouchers for a free product but it was for my honest opinion and i will not be penalized if i leave a negative or positive review.

How to add rhinestones to your trainers

I bought a cheap set of trainers from sports direct, they cost me all of £4. I wanted them cheap as my daughter would not wear them often, only for her dance competitions. She wore them for street, team street and rock and roll.

They were easy and cheap to make, I already had the rhinestones and the e6000 glue, I then ordered a set of silver laces just to add the finishing touches. I didn't want them to OTT just a bit blingy.

I first added some e6000 glue into a syringe, I then put the glue onto the trainer in the half circle using the syringe and then one by one adding the rhinestones with a rhinestone picker upper putting them onto the glue. It didn't take long to do approximately half an hour to do both, this includes changing the laces from white to silver. I then left them to dry over night and checked them in the morning, they were fully dry and ready to wear.

My daughter wore these a few times at a couple of dance competitions and never lost any of the rhinestones. They still looked as good as when i first made them. It was great fun and my daughter felt great in them.

It's a cheap way to up cycle your shoes/trainers and really doesn't take much time, you do not have to be a great crafter to create these, all you need is some glue and some rhinestones and your away. Save yourself some money, instead of paying someone else to create these, give it a go yourself and save yourself some money.

Couponing is fun and helps out with saving money on items you were already going to purchase. The money you save you can put towards other items you need or towards a much needed day out, something fun or just a treat.

There are lots of ways you can get coupons, all you need to do is look and you would be surprised.
