    #57 Let’s go to the movies, let’s go see the stars!

    In honor of the BAFTAs this evening, I thought I’d share the list of movies I am hoping to see at some point in 2013. I’m sat with a top knot in my hair and pjs on, gorging on nutella on toast (well my one slice treat) wishing I was dolled up to the nines sat in the audience, but since I’m not, I feel like writing about movies and of course maybe I could come back to the list at the end of the year and see how many I did manage to see be it on DVD or if i’m lucky in the cinema. I’m going to the…

    Urban Decay Oz Pallet in Theodora Review

    Firstly, my photos aren’t great. My wee point and shoot is starting to get old, it doesn’t like flash free photos anymore! I think once I get a bit of money behind me I’m going to save for something better, something of an investment as I do take a lot of photos, I just tend to use my phone now as camera flashes still aren’t the baby’s favourite thing. ANYWAY, I digress. Last month I made a lot of money on eBay selling some clothes that no longer fitted. It’s been sat in my paypal account for a rainy day and since last week was just seven days of rain…

    #50 Recipe No.5 Oeufs en Cocotte (Eggs in Pots)

    Wow.. this is my 50th blog post! I’m pretty impressed at that, and proud. I am thoroughly enjoying keeping this up, so much so I plan on updating every day for the whole of February! I figured since it’s the shortest month of the year, I’d give it a go. Shouldn’t be too difficult as I have loads of blog posts planned and I finally know how to schedule them! My weekend has been hectic and stressful (seems to be the way with my life at the moment) but tomorrow night my mum, sister & I have a girly night planned and we are finally going to watch Brave! Can’t…

    #47 Recipe No.4 Cheats Carbonara

    My mother was making stovies tonight with corn beef.. I hate both stovies and corn beef (not to mention I’m back on my diet) so she suggested I make my own tea. Having not an awful lot to work with (as I missed the shopping trip yesterday) I decided on an altered version of my cheat carbonara, using yellow peppers instead of the usual mushrooms, as of course my mother didn’t buy mushrooms. It’s not one of my best recipes (or photography for that matter) but it’s so fast, so cheap, healthy and tasty, come on what more do you want? I ate this a lot when I was saving…

    #43 The Lollipop Shoes by Joanne Harris Review

    Seeking refuge and anonymity in the cobbled streets of Montmartre, Yanne and her two daughters live peacefully, if not happily, above their little chocolate shop. Nothing unusual marks them out; no red sachets hang by the door.The wind has stopped – at least for a while. Then into their lives blows Zozie de l’Alba, the lady with the lollipop shoes,ruthless, devious and seductive. With everything she loves at stake, Yanne must face a difficult choice; to flee, as she has done so many times before, or to confront her most dangerous enemy… Herself. I read Chocolat back in 2011 and I LOVED it (looking on Good Reads, it’s one of…

    #42 MAC Brave Red Lipstick Review

    I bought this lipstick back in December but I’ve only worn it twice, once back in December on a night out and the second time was today! After wearing it to simply go to the supermarket (my life is that glamorous, the joys of being a mother) I have decided I am in love! It’s called Brave Red with a cremesheen finish which is one of my favourite finishes in MAC lipstick however on the website it doesn’t look a nice colour at all and is described as a red-yellow! If I had been ordering offline I’d of never given it a second look, but I bought it from a…
