Power Up with Delicious Grenade Protein Bars!

This post contains referral links


Hello! Do you use protein powder, shakes or bars? I have recently gotten into protein products as a recommendation to try for Fibromyalgia. On this journey I have been researching different protein brands. Grenade have a wonderfully beautiful selection of protein bars (they even have Oreo ones!). They offer lots of different flavours with low sugar and calories! I have a link to give you £10 off when you spend £40 and as any protein bar enthusiast knows, this makes a huge difference to cost per bar, making a great deal.

Grenade also offer bundles and discounts so you can save even more on your protein bars!

Let's take a look at some of the bars available:

So I recently decided to restart Animal Crossing (which I have regretted in the past) but it's been an absolute game changer! When I need to rest or just helping me to relax, playing Animal Crossing and having little goals I want to achieve on my island has been so fun! Have you played Animal Crossing? What games do you find great for rest and/or relaxation?

Non-Fiction Books I'm Excited For!


Hi everyone! So I really want to get into reading a ton of non-fiction and self help books surrounding topics like Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, fatigue, mindfulness, the body and nature. I've been doing some research and adding books that sound really exciting to my wishlist.

As of writing this, I am currently reading The Fibro Manual and next I plan to read The Way Out (a book about managing chronic pain). I'm really enjoying reading, highlighting and tabbing!

So let's get into some of the non-fiction books I'm excited to read!

A Look At Journeys: The Archers of Saint Sebastian


Synopsis:

A barracks full of beautiful boys. A girl in disguise, living among them.

It’s the 14th century, and the longbow is king. But in the northern European principality of Ardennes, archery isn’t just the nation’s defense. It’s the national obsession.

MEET THE JOURNEYS

12 young Journeyman archers, the best in the country
2 years of public competitions, in which looks count almost as much as ability
6 will win a coveted membership in the Archers’ Guild of St. Sebastian
1 will become the prince’s new Guardsman

MEET MARIEKE
15-year-old Marieke is as obsessed with St. Sebastian’s as everyone else in Ardennes. Only it’s the middle ages, and girls just don’t become elite archers. Except Marieke's prospects as a girl aren't promising either, after a well-timed kick from a mule has left her with a face that’s badly scarred and ruined for marriage. But when circumstances force her to leave her old life behind and flee to the guild for refuge, there are only two things Marieke really knows about the place. One is that a mysterious accident ended her own father’s time as a Journey. The other?

There are no women allowed inside St. Sebastian’s.

Marieke knows disguising herself as a boy and infiltrating the guild means embarking on a dangerous deception. But it may be her only chance to find out the truth about her father’s past and to stop a murderous plot from coming to fruition. When the dashing young Journeyman Tristan takes her under his wing as his squire, she’s got to stay – at least long enough to help him beat out his brutal arch-rival to win the competitions.

Keeping her identity a secret will be hard. Living in close quarters with a pack of gorgeous boys? That will be harder still. But the hardest thing of all will be keeping the vow she makes for herself: to see Tristan become the next Guardsman, without ever letting him find out she’s a girl - a girl, who loves him.

Part Robin Hood and part Princess Bride, with a pinch of Mulan and a dash of Cyrano de Bergerac in the mix, The Archers of St. Sebastian I: Journeys is a humorous action and adventure saga inspired by late medieval/early Renaissance Belgium and packed with romance, wit, and longbow archery. Perfect for adults who love young adult themes, Journeys is an escape into the past that reads more like romantic historical fantasy than pure historical fiction.

Unrequited love? Ugly heroines who stay ugly? Friendship, coming of age, romance, adventure, and plenty of archery competitions? A unique setting inspired by the glorious city of Bruges, with a richly imagined, immersive world set within the walls of a male-only archers' guild? Journeys: The Archers of Saint Sebastianhas it all, so if you're looking for a great escape, don your disguise and join Marieke as she enters the forbidden world of Saint Sebastian's, and prepare to fall in love with the Journeys - that is, the twelve best and most beautiful archers in all of Ardennes, the Journeyman archers of St. Sebastian's.

Synopsis:

Boston, Massachusetts, 1946. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, twenty-three-year-old Maggie O'Hanlon lives a charmed life. Filling her days dancing with handsome sailors or dress shopping in high end stores, she gives very little thought for anyone besides herself.

The one and only person who understands her, is her Uncle James, who was severely wounded during the war.


When Maggie’s careless antics land her on the front page of the newspaper, she is horrified to discover that she is being sent to Savannah, Georgia where she is to assist an elderly widow tend to her large house and pecan farm, wrenching her from the comfort that luxury brings.

Flora Alcott is as sweet as the pecan bread she bakes. Welcoming an angry and entitled Maggie with open arms, Flora shows Maggie something she has yet to grasp: kindness.

While struggling to adapt to her new surroundings, a devastating tragedy strikes, forcing Maggie to reexamine everything she's ever known in life.
