I generally get my tea from Tea Pigs, because I know what like from them.

My favourite teas by them are the Super Fruit, Lemon & Ginger & Sweet Ginger.

The Super Fruit tea is great for if you're feeling run down or I like it for when I'm feeling congested. It can have quite a strong taste which freshens you up. The ingredients are berries & hibiscus flower. Which leads me to think if you served this cold with ice it would taste pretty similar to Starbucks' Berry Hibiscus Refresher!

The Lemon & Ginger is a bit more tame on the other hand. It's nice and light making a very refreshing combination! I think this would also be great served with ice in the summer! I have also read that lemon is great for the immune system and your skin.

The Sweet Ginger is perfect for those with a sweet teeth. It would make a great dessert replacement if you're trying to cut back. Ginger is another ingredient which is great for your immune system. This tea is another one which is ideal for if you're congested as ginger can help open up your airways.

Tea Pigs do have other flavours available on their website, so it's definitely worth taking a look to see what you fancy. They also do sample packs which include two tea bags, so you don't end up wasting your money on tea you might not like!

So this is the second year in a row where I have entered the new year with a throat infection, not cool!

I seem to keep getting these throat infections and to be honest I pretty damn sick of them! I've had immune tests and apparently my immune system is fine. So now the doctors have decided there's nothing they can do, I think it's time to try my own method of preventing these throat infection!

I know a lot of you will see this as a 'new years resolution' that I won't end up going through with, but if this works it will become a lifestyle that's worth keeping up!

This is partly why I'm blogging about this! I feel like by regularly blogging about my journey/ progress I will keep it up.

I read this interesting article this morning, linked here.

So my plan is basically to eat a little less junk food & fizzy drinks, drink more water to keep hydrated and to exercise more.

I have already been cutting out fizzy drinks as they don't seem to help my currently bad throat, so that part is simple enough. So that's one point down already :)

Sadly, I currently don't feel up to exercising so I plan on starting that next week.

These targets aren't so much about changing my body, it's more to help build my immune system, so I stop becoming so ill so frequently!

Here is a recent photo of how I look at the moment, just so you guys can see the changes to my body which are likely to occur.
