Happy Burns Night to you all

Happy Burns Night to you all!

Now Haggis, it may not be to everyone’s taste but I love the spiciness of it.

This year was far from traditional – no neeps and tatties for me!

It’s all about the zero points Stir fry veg – scrummy!


Happy Burns Night to you all

Fashion - Slogan Tops

Slogans t-shirts and jumpers are coming out of every crevice at the moment.
Pick a phrase. Any phrase. Guarantee it’s available on a top.
Does anyone remember the Life Guard jumpers that were, probably still are, around a few years ago? That’s not at all confusing when you’re on the beach and in need of an actual Life Guard!
I don’t know what to think of slogan tops. Do you own one? Leave a comment on why you felt the need to purchase one.
I guess there is some endearing quality to some of them. Geeks, highlighting the fact they are a geek! Or people double-taking at a skinny blonde 6ft girl, thinking ‘you’re far from a being a geek love’!

Shopping Treats - Bombus

It must be over two years when I first discovered this awesome personalised boutique company, Bombus.
It’s main focus and selling point is using historical maps to create beautiful bespoke works of art. And trust me, these are the real deal no photocopying or print outs involved here. Any location for any memory they’ll have it. And nothing goes to waste – down to to hole-punched confetti used in the wrapping process.
The quality and care on each piece is just exquisite. The whole company ethos is what every company should strive towards. And the studio location is to die for.
If there’s one link you should click on today it’s this.

It's hump day

It’s hump day and Wednesday weigh-in time!

Incredible weight loss so far on the Weight Watchers Pro Points plan.

Definitely recommend anyone that needs a kick start to join now!

The best thing about Wednesday evenings is only two more sleeps until Friday!

What do you love best about Wednesday?

Fashion - Animal Prints

If there’s something I would not be too keen on wearing it’s animal print of any kind, in any shape or form.

But it would seem that a lot of you would! And there’s no limit to where animal print gets applied either … even on rolling skates!

One image that always springs to mind when ever some utters the words ‘animal print’ is the Spice Girls, and that was Scary Spice which says it all!

Take a look a this little lot. There’s plenty more where these came from too!

Quick Catch-Up Anyone?

Ordinary Tuesday but with a beauty/fashion twist.

Received the Boden Spring Catalogue in the post today with some up and coming trends.

Two boxes of samples from Latest In Beauty all set to review in the next week.

And some awesome news…

I’M GOING TO BE A BRIDESMAID!


Quick Catch-Up Anyone?

Fashion - Oriental & Floral Prints

It may be a little too early to pack away the Winter wardrobe but it’s never too early to start buying in new items in readiness for your Spring wardrobe.
Here’s a selection of oriental and floral prints to inspire the trend set for Spring / Summer 2013.
What are your thoughts on this type of print? Personally I love the slinky figure hugging dresses and hoping this year, with my weight loss continuing, I can treat myself to this style of dress!

Fancy a quickie? 299 792 458 in fact!

Today has mainly been working in a cold an practically empty office.

Followed by a random fact of the day – the location of the tip of the Giant Pyramid matches (numerically) the speed of light … 299 792 458 … freaky!

Normal service ‘should’ resume tomorrow!

Fashion - Skulls

Skulls, skulls and more skulls. From tops to bags, earrings to scarfs. Skulls seem to be everywhere at the moment.
Once again, from high street to the top designer houses.
I’m not a fan of skulls but some peeps love the beauty of them!
What are your thoughts?
