On #currysintrojuicing

For the record, I had a lot of fun at the Currys juicing event last night. There were lots of blog pals there (blog pals in real life is one of my favourite things about blogging) and I even met some new blog pals too. We did a rad body conditioning class over at Urban Kings - it was full of sweaty topless men and smelt terrible (can’t decide if I loved or hated this) and Derry from Temple Training had put together a killer circuit. We did lots of burpees and it was cool. I also got to play with a juicer which I have never done before, which is pretty cool too.

Right in the middle with my teeny orange shorts. They were a mistake.

Did it change my mind about juice fasts? No.

Did it make me want to shop at Currys? Not really Currys in particular, no, but I think it’s great to see a big company reach out to people interested in health and fitness and pay attention to what they’re interested in.

Did it make me want a juicer? Yes - they are absolutely ferocious. I know if I owned one though I would break it by trying to pulverise non-juicable objects. Also, juice is delicious and I love the idea of being able to chuck in whatever I want. I juiced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, green apple, carrot and spinach and it was delicious (yes I ignored the vegetables because vegetable juice is gross).

Did I have a lovely time? Yes, and I am grateful to both Currys and Greenlight for their hospitality. It was a well organised event and a great opportunity to meet lots of other bloggers. Thank you for having me!

It felt good to have made this myself.
