Weight loss, haul and other bits :]

Hi everyone :]

Hope you're all enjoying the weekend?

If you don't want to read a rambly blog... run now!

I had some exciting news on Monday and to celebrate my boyfriend is taking me away for the night tomorrow for some cheeky chips on the beach in Brighton, so I spent today with my mum as our 'mothers day' day out!

We headed over to Crawley, had a coffee which was a little on the large side and then did a bit o'shopping.

I didn't really have anything in mind, which I don't know about you but is nice 'cause you can just browse without getting worked up.

The camera I usually use isn't working, but i've popped a few pictures of what I bought below using my phone :]

Primark: Sheer polka dot shirt - £10, Vanity case - £5, Lint roller - £1

Superdrug: Overnight goodies for Sunday. Dove set - £5, Simple & toothpaste - £1(ish)

Harvey's: Scented candles on sale! L-R: French vanilla (£2), Jasmine and blossom (£1.50 each), Blueberry muffin (£2.80) and tray (£1).

We stopped off at Prezzo and had a lovely lunch. I tried the new 'Light' side of the menu, which was surprisingly nice. I had the 'Spaghetti with King Prawns' and it was so tasty, especially for 450ish calories. Note, don't eat the massive red piece of veg thinking it's a tomato... it's a chilli!

I'm still continuing with the diet and still doing well, not as well as last week though. This week i've lost a total of 4lbs and hopefully another 1lb will disappear before going to Brighton if I workout before I go. I'm noticing a difference now, and I'm comfortably wearing size 18 clothes now instead of going up a size for some items or in some shops - woo!
I also just want to congratulate Struck (my boyfriend) on his weight loss as he has managed to lose 12lbs!!!!! You can really tell he's lost weight and i'm so pleased and proud he's decided to stick with it :]

To help distract and relax me in the evening, I thought i'd give cross stitch a go (yes, a little mumsy of me but.. who cares!?) so mum and I popped into Hobbycraft today....

So really, that's it! On a side note, if you're near a TK Maxx, pop in there now! Ciaté have a load of items in there at the moment - crackle nail polish (which I picked up last week) which have three crackle polishes for £4.99 as well as the repairing hand cream for £4.99. They're so cheap, so go and take a look!

Sorry this wasn't very exciting but I hope you enjoyed anyway.

During the week I will be reviewing the Q10 firming oil, my new favourite product <3

Happy mothers day & have a lovely weekend!

Little haul ♥

Today I went shopping with my boyfriend and bought crazy amounts of goodies...not all for me though!

Right, on with the haul!

First we went into CEX and I picked up a game (which is not really that interesting) and the first series of Pushing Daisies. I've always seen the adverts and thought it looks quite good and for £6 I thought i'd give it a go. Has anyone else seen it?

Next was New Look. I've recently been really disappointed with New Look, both in price and quality but these bits weren't too expensive so I didn't mind so much.

The following clothes are all from the Inspire range.

First thing I bought was the Pink Bubble top. I have one in black already which is a size up so I can wear it as a dress. Teamed with a black belt, leggings and cardigan, it works quite well, so I did the same with this and bought it in a size up so I can wear it as a dress! This was £6.99 which i think is quite reasonable, as it doesn't shrink in the wash and can be dressed up or down.

I then picked up an Aztec Racer top, which was in the sale for £8 instead of £19.99, which I didn't think was too bad.
Last thing from New look was a Dandelion dress. This wasn't in the sale but wasn't that expensive at £17.99. I was a bit worried when i tried it on that it wouldn't suit my figure, as it's very floaty and the black dress/slip underneath the sheer material is quite figure hugging but it was perfect!
Next was Superdrug and i'd heard about some nail polish on Youtube that gives a strange effect but they never seem to have it in my local branch! I managed to find it today though, it's the 'Petrol in Water' trio by Andrea Fulerton. I've heard some mixed opinions on this, so perhaps a review?Last shop was The Body Shop. Oh my... I spent waaaay too much as usual BUT I did have a '£10 off when you spend over £25' voucher and a further 10% off from my card. I bought more of their Rainforest Radiance Shampoo which at £4 for 250ml may be a little much but it does amazing things to your hair! I also bought the conditioner which was £6 for 400ml and to top it all off, I also picked up some more of the Rainforest Radiance Detangling Spray which was also £6 for 400ml. I really would recommend this collection for anyone with coloured hair, especially if its slightly dry.Body butter was next on my list and I was honestly only going to buy one, but they have a 'buy one get one half price' offer so thought WHY NOT. I have tried a number of these butters but only really like a handful so I just bought the Mango and the Grapefruit butter. Both are lovely and really moisturise your skin after a shower :)
Apologies for the long haul, but hopefully you enjoyed it!
