{Love The Little Things}

I stumbled across this post on bloglovin, and just love kristi's Ikea skirt. She's transformed an Ikea throw into a gorgeous maxi skirt! I wish I was that creative! 

Watched 

R & I watched Swingers the other evening. Vince Vaughn looks so young, it was rather funny! It got 7.4 out of 10 on IMDb, but I honestly don't know how it scored so highly. I really wasn't all that impressed :-(

Wore




















I was at a wedding reception on Saturday night and wore my giraffe print dress from Wallis. It's stretchy so despite me putting on weight (I'm over a stone heavier than what I was when I bought it a year ago) it still fits *phew* and the print helps hide any lumps and bumps. The Spanx also works wonders!! ;-)

I'm also loving my new make-up from bareMinerals.

Heard

My taste in music is horrendous. We know this already! I just can't help but love old school cheesy pop. I've run twice this week as per my action plan to achieve my goal. On my running playlist are Baby Come Back by Pato Banton; Boombastic by Shaggy and Move Any Mountain by The Shamen amongst others like Daft Punk, Avicii, David Guetta and Calvin Harris. My iPhone doesn't have the memory to store loads of songs, so I think one of my tasks this week should be to sort the music on my big computer and set up some better playlists for my phone. Over to you - what song would you recommend for working out to?

Made

We've cooked the last two meals from our Gousto box. I made Spiced Chicken Mujaddara and R made the turkey meatballs. I've been seriously impressed with the Gousto box and would definitely recommend it. All three meals were delicious and easy to make. Have a peek here for a discount code :-)

And Lastly...

My sister and her boyfriend made this amazing frame for my son's Lego minifigures for his birthday. Each figure sits atop a white 3x2 brick, so he can remove the lego men and women to play with them and stick them back when he's finished. Isn't it cool!!

  1. I LOVE that dress. I'm a sucker for anything animal print.
    I've heard about Gousto boxes and I'm so tempted, the food you made looks so yummy. xx
