February Faves

I haven’t done a “favourite” post in so long so I thought I would hop back on the band wagon.

Soap and Glory, The Righteous Butter – My skin has been really dry these days so I have been slathering myself in this body butter to help. I love the smell of it and also how thick it is. It makes my skin super soft and smell amazing.

Batiste, Wild – I love my bed and as a result of that I love dry shampoo. I sometimes be too lazy to wash my hair in the morning, so a quick spray of dry shampoo works wonders for me. The smell of this reminds me of when I was a 2^nd year in secondary school.

MAC MSF , Pink Power – For a few months I neglected this MSF for some unknown reason. I love that it has a bronzer, blusher and highlight all in one. A quick sweep over all three colours warms uo my face and it makes it handy for me when I’m having a lazy day.

MUA lipgloss, Shade 5 – This baby pink lipgloss is a nice neutral colour that gives my lips a tiny hint of pinkness. Its easy to slick on over any lipstick, or even on its own.

Sally Hansen, Nail Varnish remover – Sally Hansen is the best nail varnish remover brand I have ever tried. I can use the smallest bit and it will get all my polish off. This one is the acetone free one, which is great if you like wearing falsies.

Paco Rabanne, Black XS – I bought this perfume on the 10^th of the month and I am half way through it already. I am so bad at describing smells but I love it so much and always get compliments.

That was quite a mish mash of products that I have been loving this past month. Have you tried any of my favourites? What do you think of them?

Slimming World Update

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven’t been about lately but I suppose you could say that life got in the way. The past few weeks at Slimming World have been up and down but now I’m back on track with a loss of 3lb this week.

It’s Lent so I’m finding the weight loss easy. I’m off white bread, sweets, chocolate, crisps, fizzy drinks and takeaways. And starting tomorrow I am also going to go off all bread and cheese for a week, to see if that helps the weight loss.

I only have 7lb to target and I’m hoping to get there by the end of Lent.

How did you do this week?

Slimming World 4 and Operation 14 update

All I can say is that I have to try harder. My official Slimming World weigh in says that in 2 weeks I put on 4.5lb. I feel like rubbish.

Having being so bad with what I’ve been eating lately and the complete lack of exercise, I have decided that today is the day I step up the pace. After re-watching Onna’s videos, I feel that I am ready for this and I intend to be 100% committed.

  I am also going to write down EVERYTHING I eat, and all the exercise that I do. I will post my food and exercise diary every Wednesday. I really want to lose at least 14lb for my holiday in May, and in order for this to happen I need to be focused. Please feel free to share your weight loss tips with me and your exercise plans. I need as much help and support as I can get.

Slimming World 3 and Operation 14

This week I cheated. I didn’t go to class because I ate like a horse the entire week. I don’t know what was wrong with me but I just couldn’t help it.

I weighed myself at home and put on 1.8lb. I was surprised it wasn’t more. However I’m back on the wagon and I’m going to try so much harder.

“Operation 14” started for me today as well. It is 14 weeks to I go on holidays and I want to lose at least 14lb by then. With lent in the middle of it, I think I will be fine. Does anyone want to join me on “Operation 14”? Any tips for me to help me on my weight loss journey?

A Whole New World

As you can tell from the title, this is going to be an Aladdin themed post. I had an early night last week, popped in the DVD and then half way through it, hit pause and went and rummaged through my nail varnish collection. I love the colour of Jasmines outfit and felt a little inspired.

Ideally the green would have had a hint of blue in it but this one will do (until payday).

I applied 2 coats of Barry M – Emerald Green on every nail and then on my ring finger nails I applied a coat of W5 – Green Dazzle on top.

I love the way the light catches the glitter on the one nail. I think it makes it stand out more.

What nail varnish would you recommend for a better jasmine inspired nail? And also what Disney DVD do you think I should get next?

Slimming World 2

This week at Slimming World I did good. I lost 4lb. 

(excuse the crappy BB pic)

I was completely shocked at this, as the only thing I did different was cut out bread. I only have 5.5lb to get to my target now, and I hope to have got there in 3-4 weeks time.

This week I am going to stay off bread and cut down on my Diet Coke intake. I am getting addicted to the stuff again. I didn’t exercise last week like I said I would, so fingers crossed I’ll make time for it this week.

How have you all got on this week if you have been trying to lose weight? Would anyone be interested in some food posts about different recipes and food I have been trying lately?
