New Beginnings

In this digital age the art of ‘blogging’ is fast becoming the most popular way for people to express themselves. I am constantly motivated and intrigued by various blogs that I, myself, read online, and so, I have decided to start this creative process myself.

So a little about me, I’m Joely! Hello…. (awkward little wave…) I am a Nutrition and Exercise student living in London. In fact, i’ve only been here for 2 weeks so I am slowly adjusting to life in the ‘Big Smoke’. I can honestly say I have not been this excited about my life in a long long time. I have so much planned that I will be sharing with you all over the coming weeks/months/years! So the name ‘YoUniFood’… It’s a bit odd right? It’s basically a short (I thought clever) way of saying ‘Universal Food’, as in every living thing requires a form of food for survival. It’s a pretty important topic, and one close to my heart. I will also be talking about life, exercise, beauty and anything else that I feel would be would blabbing about. As you can see this site is a work in progress, technology is not my strong point. But you can find me on Twitter and Instagram under ‘younifood’. I love taking photos of food…. the more colour on your plate the better. This is a subject I will go into greater detail  with in future posts. I will also, of course, be sharing all my new found knowledge as I embark on my journey as a Nutrition student.

I am a qualified Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor and so I’ll pop up some fun exercise related posts, and keep you all up to date with what I’m doing. Gyms in London are ridiculously expensive, and I know spending £45 per month on a membership is quite frankly impossible for a lot of people, so I’ll aim to post some ways in which to keep fit on a budget! 🙂 Health is NOT for the wealthy, we all deserve and are capable of living the lives we dream of (cheesy but so right!). I am also 24…. and a Fresher so I’ll be popping up fun things for us students to do around London that some of us ‘oldies’ might like…. I definitely struggle to go clubbing until 6am….. Living a happy healthy live is about moderating the good and the ‘bad’. On my first day of University a random girl made an extremely sarcastic comment about me drinking a Hot Chocolate when I’m supposed to be a Nutrition student…. Hey we are all human!! I LOVE chocolate…. Like I said life is about balance.

But enough about me…. Please comment if you ever have any questions! Or drop me an email at joelyfranklin@gmail.com

Happy eating…. I will be posting my first post about the topic of ‘colourful meals’ and the benefits soon!!
