Sticky Citrus and Dark Chocolate Puddings

Guys, I have been a really bad girl these last few weeks. Since we’ve been back from our summer holiday in France – and yes, there is a post for this, it’s in my head, just be patient – I have been bowled over by winter, school holidays, work and completely lost the plot health wise. And now I am depressed.

I know worrying about foolish, daily things are at the end of the day pretty useless, but I can’t help but feel constantly anxious, guilty and stressed out about the stupidest things.
