It’s been about 2 months since I have downloaded Kayla Itsines ‘Sweat with Kayla’ app, so I feel as if I have a pretty good grasp of it’s capabilities in order to write a proper Sweat with Kayla app review.

I’ve been enjoying a whole range of cookies, from chocolate chip cookies to cinnamon snickerdoodles as part of the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap! This happens everywhere and basically involves sending and receiving cookies to food bloggers across the nation, all for a great cause.
