Well hello, long time no blog. Actually very long time, no blog.

So what have I been doing for the last 16 months?

Well mostly working and wedding planning and sleeping off stress at weekends!

My job is pretty full on and coupled with wedding planning, I had no time to do the things I used to enjoy.

But I'm back now and ready to give this blog my attention again!

So here is a little round up of what has happened since my last post in May 2016!

In September 2016, we lost our beautiful cat Smudge after a short illness. We are still not 100% sure what happened but we suspect it was a brain tumour. I couldn't bear the thought of him undergoing a post mortem so we'll never be 100% sure. After 13 years of purrs and cuddles, it broke my heart to lose him. I'm ready to get another cat now but we are waiting until we have bought our own place (we live on a busy main road just now so I would be too scared to let a cat out!)

Over the last 14 months, I've been on a fitness & diet campaign (known at the time as the wedding shred!) I've actually got really into my running and I'm planning to start running in proper organised events soon. I joined slimming world and lost a total of 3 stone from March 2016 to May 2017. My diet has been pretty poor since but I've managed to maintain my weight! I'll write a proper post about this soon!

 

Easter weekend was very busy! My hen do was on Easter Saturday. You might not be able to tell from this photo but I was so unwell all weekend. Long story for another post! On Easter Sunday, I finally got to see Ed Sheeran when he played the SSE Hydro in Glasgow. Best gig ever!

On 17th May, we headed to New York!

Oh, and on 20th May, we got married!

I'll do some posts on our wedding day and our time in New York and Mexico soon!

It's true what people say, it really is the best day of your life!

So that's pretty much all I've got to report from the last 14 months! Probably seems like I've not really been up to much ha ha!

But it's good to be back :)

Lifestyle | TheSundayPost - 20th March

Aloha! Happy first day of Spring! Finally, Winter is over!

Here is what I've been up to this week!

1 & 2 - On Tuesday night, the northern lights were visible over Edinburgh! I was at my mum's house for tea so we went out in the car to try and get some good pictures. Unfortunately it was very misty and cloudy but I did manage to get these 2 pictures! I was so excited!

3 - I finally managed to fit back into my tartan pinafore dress! I love this dress but I'd put too much weight on for it. Thanks to my fitness drive lately, I've managed to lose half a stone in 2 weeks and it fits again!

4 - And here is a lovely attractive picture of me after a run. This snapchat filter made me laugh so much. You can add me on snapchat at katiemccann92 for more funny faces and food pictures!

Have a fab week!

Lifestyle | TheSundayPost - 13th February

Aloha! Sorry I've been rather quiet the last couple of weeks! Last weekend was so busy I just couldn't find the time to write up any posts! Here is what I've been up to for the last 2 weeks!

Last weekend we had an afternoon out in Edinburgh which we hadn't done for ages! It wouldn't be a trip into Edinburgh without a Pinto so we had to stop in there for lunch! I got my usual spicy shredded beef burrito and 2 margaritas! If you've never been to Pinto before you are 100% missing out!

Sunday was Mother's Day so we spent the day visiting both of our mums. We had Chinese takeaway at my mum's house and I got to spend time with my baby Smudge! I'm looking forward to Smudge moving in with me for a month at the end of the year when my family go to Australia! Mikey will be in the spare room ha ha!

This week was very busy at work and was full of meetings for some reason! I've hardly been at my desk! I was off on Friday but we had a department night out so I went into Edinburgh to meet everyone for that! It was actually a really good night! We went to a little cocktail bar which I hadn't been to before where I got this cocktail served in a lightbulb! It was a cross between a whiskey and a margarita and it was really good!

Yesterday we had another date night! We went and played crazy golf (review coming up this week), then went to pizza express for a tasty meal! This honeycomb cream slice was so tasty!

Today is going to be spent cleaning, cooking and catching up on everything I've neglected the last few weeks! 

Have a fab week!

Lifestyle | 20 Random Facts About Me

Aloha! I've seen a couple of these posts going around lately so I thought it would be fun to do a post of my own. So here goes...

1. I've had many career aspirations. I wanted to be an interior designer until I was about 13, I started a journalism degree then I switched to do a Law degree, and now I'm training to be a tax accountant! I doubt I will ever fully make up my mind!

2. I detest raw tomatoes.

3. I'm not a big fan of films. I get bored too easily. There are exceptions to this though!

4. I used to dance competitively (Latin American & Freestyle) until I was 17. I miss it.

5. If I won the lottery, the first thing I'd buy would be a round-the-world holiday. Then I'd buy a house, get married, adopt some cats and dogs and live a comfortable, happy life!

6. The first band I saw live was Boyzone with my mum. I was 10.

7. I don't like the texture of bananas but I love the flavour.

8. I had an imaginary friend as a child. He was called Kenny and according to my mother, I used to talk to him all the time. I don't remember this at all.

9. I've broken 3 bones in my life so far. I broke my pinkie playing netball, my foot after falling down a flight of stairs (I was texting), and one of my toes after slipping at the side of the pool in Mexico and being too vain to just fall in the pool instead of trying to steady myself.

10. My idea of a good night is spending it at home, watching Netflix with Mikey and a beer after eating a tasty home cooked meal (usually something Mexican).
11. Mikey and I have been together for 4 and a half years and we are due to get married in 2017!
12. I am obsessed with buying candles but I've never lit half of them! I'm a strange one!
13. My favourite ever meal is probably fajitas! I love a bit of spice!
14. Talking of spice, I get the hiccups 9 times out of 10 when I eat spicy food. It drives everyone around me insane. Drinking water out the wrong side of the glass is the cure!
15. I can't eat more than 3 potatoes or more than 4 fork fulls of rice or my throat begins to close up! I dunno if it's like a mild allergy or just a strange gag reflex! Either way, it's annoying!
16. Despite being a blogger, I still have a special place in my heart for print media. I still buy magazines every month, usually more than 1 a week!
17. I love to travel. Being in a new place doesn't scare me and I love the challenge of finding my way about. It annoys me that we have we have put all holidays on hold whilst we save for our wedding - but it will be worth it of course!
18. When we go out to a restaurant, I always look at the deserts before the mains. I guess you could say I have a major sweet tooth!
19. I love supermarkets. I have to wander up and down every aisle just in case I miss a bargain or a new product I haven't tried!
20. Mushroom soup makes me feel physically sick. Don't know why. Never tried it, never will.

Lifestyle | TheSundayPost - 28th February

Aloha! Who can believe we are already heading into the 3rd month of the year?! We will soon be entering the 'less than a year until our wedding' period! February has been a bit of a quiet month. I've been stuck in a bit of a rut of working all week and being so tired by the weekend that I sit on the sofa all weekend in my PJ's!

Here is what I've been up to this week!

1 & 2 - I had Monday off work as I still have a few annual leave days to use before the end of March. I had spent the whole weekend in the house so I decided to get out and go for a walk! I picked a cracking day to do this as the sun was shining. It was still super cold though! I was trying not to fall on the ice whilst taking these pictures!

3 - I bought this cute little jug whilst I was out on Monday. It's obviously not meant for flowers but I think it looks cute! I've got a full haul featuring this jug coming soon!

4 - I couldn't resist these PJ's in Tesco the other night. They were reduced from £16 to £9. I used to have a cat called Puddy after my mum kept saying tweetie bird's 'I tawt I saw a puddy-tat' saying! The name just stuck! Unfortunately he died about 6 months after we took him in (he was a stray that starting living in our greenhouse). We think he may have had cancer and his owners dumped him rather than face the big vet bills to manage his illness. Poor puddy! At least we gave him a comfy, loving home to live out his last 6 months! 

So now we are moving into March, which will hopefully be another good month! Hopefully I'll find the energy to get out the house a bit more as we move into Spring! 

And just incase you missed it, you can find my blog from this week about Yankee Candle for Spring 2016 HERE.

Have a great week!

TheSundayPost - 25th October

Aloha! Don't you just love Someecards? There's always one that sums up exactly how you are feeling! Anyway, as usual here's my weekly post about what I've been up to this week!

1 - Work. You may know that I work in tax and our busiest time of year is coming up with the tax returns due by 31st January. I've got a week off coming up in 2 weeks time, so I'm trying to get as much done as possible just now, so I don't come back to an overflowing in tray! Of course, that means I have no time for anything fun right now. Sad times!

2 - Wedding planning. I wrote my first post on here this week about planning our wedding! We are still on the venue hunt. It was going okay until others started sticking their noses in and telling me what I can/can't do. So frustrating. On Friday I was so wound up by it all that I was genuinely contemplating booking 2 tickets to Mexico and getting married out there with no one present to tell me what to do! I'm sure it will all fall into place eventually...

3 - Dreaming. I am in desperate need of a holiday! I know, I've got a cheek but when we were students, we were off visiting new places about 3 or 4 times a year. Now it seems like we have no time to do anything. In saying that, we are going to Ireland in a few weeks. Mikey has lots of family there which we are going to visit, but for me it will be all new as I've never been before. Hello Guinness factory!

So that's about it for this week! Hope you all have a great week ahead, whatever you are up to!

TheSundayPost - 26th July

Aloha! Once again it's time for a Sunday Post! Where do the weeks go?! 

This week has actually been quite busy! So here is what I've been up to!

1- Monday brought the usual dread of having to go to work after a lazy weekend! Honestly, I don't think I'll ever enjoy Mondays! 

2- I got these flowers for a bargain 13p on Monday night though! I love a Tesco bargain!

3- On Tuesday it was my 23rd Birthday! Unfortunately I was at work, but I still had a nice day (once I left work haha!)

4- Meet Eric! He's my sponsor cat which Mikey set up for my birthday! We can't have a cat in our flat until we buy our own place so I'm paying for Eric's place in a shelter until he finds a forever home! #goodkarma

5 & 6 - Mmmm Cuckoo's Bakery! My mum bought me this banana and salted caramel cupcake as my birthday cake! It was hands down the best cake I've ever had. If you live in Edinburgh, you will find Cuckoo's on Dundas Street & in their new shop in Bruntsfield!

1- Birthday dinner! My birthday decided to fall before payday (helpful) so we had an austerity dinner and made our own Nando's! I have to say it was pretty authentic! 

2 - On Wednesday night I decided to go spend some of my birthday money! I was in desperate need of some new make up and decided to try the benefit counter! After a mini makeover, I decided to take the plunge and buy Porefessional & Hello Flawless! 

3- The rest of the week was a bit uneventful, so I was glad to see Friday (who doesn't love Friday?!)

4 - I was in Tesco (again) after work on Friday, and spied these in the frozen aisle! Who else remembers Maxibons! I was so delighted I bought 2 boxes which between the 2 of us we have demolished over the weekend! 

5 - Yup, more chocolate. This is a Reese's peanut butter Krispy Kreme doughnut! It was pretty delicious. 

6 - And finally, yesterday was National Tequila Day! We all know how obsessed with Mexico I am, so I had to celebrate with a bottle of tequila flavoured beer (or 4)! 

And now it's Sunday, the weekend is almost over and I'm preparing to go back to work tomorrow for my final week before I move on to my new challenge! 

Have a wonderful week!

Bye June // Hello July

Aloha! June was a long, tiring and very busy month for me! So much has happened, and there are still some exciting things to come! So here is my monthly summary!

Right at the start of the month, we got the keys to our new flat! We've moved just outside Edinburgh as we can get more space for our money, and so far it's been great! Look out for some homeware posts as I spend some of the vouchers we got as engagement presents! 

The second weekend in June was the local racecourse's ladies day. I'd never been before and my mum and auntie have been talking about going for years! So this year we decided to get tickets! It was a good day out, despite it being possibly the coldest June day ever! This photo was taken in the limo (fancy, I know) as we dropped my auntie off. This is my little cousin Riley :) 

Then, I found out I'll be graduating with a 2:1 in law next week! Woohoo! I can't believe uni is actually over! It's been a long, but rewarding 4 years! 

Then I finished off the month doing what I do best...drinking cocktails! 

And now it is July! This month has some more exciting things in store, namely my birthday! As well as graduation, and some other big changes!

Life lately & WE'RE ENGAGED!

Hola from Mexico!! I know I've not blogged in forever (thanks exams) so I thought I better do another 'life lately' post to make up for it! 

We've got a new house! Okay we haven't actually moved in yet, but we will be about a week after we get home from Mexico. We are moving just outside Edinburgh so we can get a bigger flat for the same money! I can't wait to buy more pretty house things! 

After exams were over, we had our annual end of year ball. Of course this year was extra special as it was our last ever ball. Before the ball, Mikey took me to the Glasshouse hotel in Edinburgh city centre, and you will never guess what...

We got engaged! Let the wedding posts commence! I love my ring, he even got the size spot on! 

And a week after we got engaged, we headed to Mexico! We will be heading home on Saturday, boohoo! It's been amazing, and I'm gonna make the most of our last few days! Expect a post or two all about it when I'm back! 

So that's about it. As you can see I've been a busy bee! I'll get another post up when I get home! 

Adios amigos! 😘

New Yankee Candles

Aloha! The start of April saw the launch of 5 new Yankee Candle scents! Of course, I had to rush out and buy them to try as soon as they hit my local store! I only got the tarts of course, because 5 large jars would be a bit excessive!

Wild Sea Grass - This one is difficult to describe but Yankee say it smells of grass and sand! It is a lovely fresh scent for summer!

Beach Holiday - This one I love! It smells like fabric softener and the seaside! I love it! 

Pain au Raisin - This one is the first in the new cafe culture range. It smells like cinnamon, vanilla and a little bit of rum! Haha! 

Tarte Tatin - This one is also gorgeous. Smells just like apple strudel! Yummy! 

Cappuccino Truffle - This is probably my favourite one! It smells like coffee and chocolate, my 2 favourite things!! I'm actually burning this one as I write this and it's filled my front room with a lovely chocolately goodness! Yum! 

If you haven't tried these yet, you definitely need to!

Life Lately

Aloha & Happy Easter! I am back after a long month break from blogging. It wasn't intentional, just life and uni got in the way, and I've had no time to write any posts! 

So, I thought it would be good to do a little post about what's been going on lately since there have been no Sunday posts or anything!

I went blonde! Well kind of. It's blonde highlights but there's so many of them that I look very blonde when my hair is down! I was really unsure to begin with but I actually love it now!

There was a solar eclipse. I was working on the day of the eclipse but I managed to sneak this photo whilst hanging out my office window haha!

My beautiful baby niece was born on the 29th March! I made up this little hamper for her arrival. It was so much fun to do and her parents loved it! Her name is Elsbeth for anyone wondering! 

My dissertation took over my life. And it also resulted in me getting a lovely cold! It is all done and submitted now so normality can resume. Well, until exams begin at the end of the month! Not long to go before I head out into the big bad world, no longer a student! :( 

So that is pretty much everything I have to report from March! Hopefully I won't have such a large blogging break again! I missed writing my posts!

My Favourite Things: February

Aloha! Here is my little list of my favourite things from February! 

Food: I've enjoyed a few different things this month. I made a pretty amazing pot of chilli which was just delicious. I doubt I'll be able to replicate it though haha! I've also been loving anything Mexican! I think I'm getting excited for my holiday to Mexico in just 11 weeks time! Countdown is on!

TV Show: I re-signed up to Netflix this month so I've been watching lots of stuff on there! My 2 favourites at the moment are Better Call Saul and The Good Wife. 

Song: This is always a tough one! I think I'd say FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna, Kanye West & Paul McCartney. Such a strange combination of artists but it really works. If you haven't heard it yet, go look it up on youtube.

Beauty Product: I've recently changed shampoo brand to Aussie and it's great! It leaves my hair smelling amazing for ages which is something I've never had with any other shampoo brand!

Candle: In case you hadn't guessed by the picture above, it's gotta be both Jelly Beans & Bunny Cake from Yankee Candle. I got these as a gift from the other half after I was unsuccessful in getting a promotion at work (I have been offered a different job though so it's not all bad). These are from the easter range and they both smell amazing! 

Event: Yet again, nothing much has happened this month, however I would say going to London for the weekend has been my favourite event from this month! We had a lovely time and enjoyed sampling some of the cool bars and restaurants!

LDN // Wahaca

Aloha! Whilst I was in London last weekend, I was really craving some Mexican food, so on the recommendation of my cousin's girlfriend, we tried out Wahaca! 

Wahaca specialises in Mexican street food, where you order 2 or 3 different dishes each, much like tapas! It was co-founded by Thomasina Miers, a previous winner of Masterchef! The restaurants are dotted all over London and are quite trendy inside. The branch we visited was in Covent Garden which is the original one!

So here is what I had!

Steak Tacos £4.85 : Oh my, these were devine! My other half had pork tacos which came with the addition of a spicy marinade, which was also amazing! 

Chorizo & Potato Quesadillas £4.20 : These were definitely the best bit about the meal! There were 2 of them stacked on top of each other and they were just to die for!

Chicken Taquitos £4 : I've never tried a taquito before! It is basically a tortilla wrapped around the chicken filling then deep fried so it goes really crispy! They were really nice but I much preferred the other 2 dishes! 

Churros y Chocolate £3.95 : Oh m gee. These were amazing! Basically they are gooey doughnuts sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar which you dip into chocolate sauce! I could live off these! 

And to wash it all down, I had one of these blood orange margaritas! These were rather expensive at £7.95 but totally worth it, especially if you love tequila like me! 

Overall the bill came to about £20 a head which, for London, is rather good! If I ever find myself in London again, I will definitely be making another visit to Wahaca! 

xx

LDN // 14th-16th Feb

Aloha! So I mentioned yesterday that last weekend I was visiting London as part of a Uni trip! 

We travelled down by train on the Saturday and had free time up until Monday morning! Unfortunately we got lost walking to the hotel so we ended up not having much time before heading out for dinner. I was a bit annoyed at this as I really wanted to go shopping! 

For dinner we headed out to a little Italian restaurant called Ciao Bella. The food was lovely, however with 25 of us cramming into a little restaurant, I was feeling awfully claustrophobic throughout dinner which resulted in me eating very little! Is it just me who gets totally put off food when I don't have plenty of space around me to eat it? I always feel like I'm choking if I'm eating in a cramped space! After dinner we went for a few drinks before heading back to the hotel for some sleep! 

On Sunday, we woke up early, keen to cram in a full day of sightseeing, shopping and eating! 

We went for a walk around Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace, then headed up to Trafalgar Square! I really wanted to go to Harrods to get a shopper bag for carrying my lunch to work in! Haha! 

After selecting a bag (naturally it has cats on it), I headed to the Westfield Shopping Centre at White City for a look around! I really wanted to go to American Eagle as I love their clothes and the only other time I get to go there is when I'm in the USA! I managed to grab a few sale bargains which was great! 

Afterwards we headed to Covent Garden where we were meeting my cousin and his girlfriend. We went to an awesome Belgian beer bar. It was so lovely to catch up with my cousin who I haven't seen since last summer! 

After 4 Fruli's, I was keen to get some food, and on the recommendation of my cousin's girlfriend, we went to Wahaca, a mexican street food place. I'm going to do a separate post on this, but let's just say it is amazing! 

Monday was our final day which was spent visiting the supreme court and the parliament, before heading to Kings Cross for our train home. 

So that was my short visit to London! 

Look out for my review of Wahaca later this week! 

xx

TheSundayPost

Aloha! Sorry I've not posted much lately! I was away last weekend and I've been catching up on sleep all week! 

So now it's back to reality, here is this week's SundayPost. 

- As I've mentioned, last weekend we had a weekend away! It was a Uni visit to London, intended to see the supreme court and parliament but we had a day and a half to ourselves too! I'll do a little post on what we got up to soon! 

- On Pancake Tuesday I made banana and nutella pancakes! Let me know if you'd like to see the recipe! 

- This week seems to have passed in a flash! Nothing exciting happened all week so I was determined to get out and do something this weekend! So after a little lie in yesterday, I headed to North Berwick, a seaside town about 25 miles from Edinburgh, with my little cousin, my auntie and my mum! We had a lovely wander along the beach, collecting shells for my cousin to make pictures with, then we stopped in a little tea room for tea and cakes before heading home! 

- Today is going to be spent writing up blog posts and finally making a start on my dissertation! 

So that is all I've been up to this week! 

Hope you all have a lovely week!

TheSundayPost

Aloha! So this week has been rather eventful! Apologies for the lack of posts!

Here is what I've been up to! 

1- Ugh Monday. Weekends are just too short! This photo made me giggle a bit!

2- On Tuesday, I made my first visit to Pret. One has opened up near my work and everyone in the office raves about it. I have to say it is very good! 

3- I had an interview for a promotion at work on Wednesday so on Tuesday night I was burning this Yankee Candle wax tart! It actually did help me sleep that night which was helpful as I'd been awake worrying for 4 nights in a row! 

4- On Friday I was given the news I had been unsuccessful in getting a promotion. Of course, this made me rather sad but I have been offered an exciting opportunity instead so hopefully everything will work itself out. I spotted this picture on Instagram and it made me cheer up a bit! We also went for drinks on Friday night to celebrate my other offer/cheer me up!

5- On Saturday I was nursing a hangover so we went to Frankie & Bennies for lunch! I obviously had to get a bannoffe milkshake!

6- Mikey bought me these easter yankee candles which I have been banging on about for weeks, as a present for my job news! I absolutely love them both. They smell amazing! 

So that was my week! It's been rather busy and I'm exhausted. Here's hoping next week is a bit quieter! 

xxx

TheSundayPost

Aloha! This week has been rather quiet! I've been trying to save my pennies (badly) as Mexico is due to be paid off by next weekend! Here is the few things I have been up to this week!

- Of course, most of this week has been taken up with work! I've been really struggling to get up in the mornings which has made me rather grumpy! I should really start going to bed earlier!

- This week I submitted my application for a promotion at work! It would give me some job security for the next year which would be lovely. And it would be a nice first full time job after leaving uni! Fingers and toes crossed! 

- As you can see, I've been a little carried away with the candle buying this week! I've still got a few to be delivered! Some of these were for a candle swap I am doing with a friend in France! As sad as it sounds I am rather excited for my parcel to arrive! It's become a little hobby of mine to collect rare candles which might sound sad but it's good fun! 

- The weekend has been a bit more eventful! On Friday night we went round to a friend's house for drinks and nandos. Then on Saturday we went to a comedy show which an ex-boss of mine puts on every year!

Now it is time to get prepared for the week ahead once again! 

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Kringle Candles

Aloha! So it's well know that I love Yankee Candles, but I've kinda cheated on them by buying some of these! Kringle Candles came about after the original owner of Yankee, Mike Kittredge and his son James, started the business in 2009. Unfortunately, it has just been announced that Kringle Candle's European arm of the business will be closing this week, but i managed to get my hands on these before they close (at 50% off may I add!) Thankfully, there has already been mention of a new European supplier so fingers crossed the rumours are true.

These daylight candles are like giant tealights. They burn for around 12 hours which is not too bad, especially considering I got these for £1.25 each! 

So the scents I picked up were:

Banana cream pie - Now I'm not too sure about this scent. I normally love anything banana scented (and flavoured for that matter). I'm hoping the scent will grow on me. It just smells a bit too sickly for me just now!

Lemon Meringue Pie - This one smells very similar to Banana Cream Pie. However I'm willing to give them both a shot. They might smell better once lit!

Black Sands - I love this one! It's a musky smell which reminds me of men's aftershave a little bit!

Baker's Vanilla - Who doesn't love a vanilla scented candle? It is quite a subtle vanilla though, so if you don't like them overpowering, this one might be for you!

Beachside - This one is also amazing! It smells like cocoa butter! It reminds me of sunshine and days on the beach! I think I'll be putting this one in the bathroom to burn when I'm having a soak in the bath! 

So that was my little haul from Kringle Candle. Let me know if you find any UK suppliers, I'd love to try some more scents! 

Have you tried Kringle Candle? Which scents do you love?

p.s I've got some wax melts on the way, also from Kringle so keep an eye out for those making an appearance on here!

TheSundayPost

Aloha! It felt like this week was the longest week ever! That might have something to do with me being on the countdown to payday! 

1- It's been so bloody cold this week! Thankfully it got a bit warmer for the weekend!

2- On Monday night I managed to miss my tram stop and ended up in the Yankee Candle store. I managed to pick up these lovely little bargains! 

3- By Wednesday I managed to pick up the lovely cold that's been doing the rounds in my work. I was feeling totally run down all day which resulted in me having a day in bed on Thursday. That must have been exactly what I needed as I was feeling much better on Friday

4- On Saturday I did a little bit of baking! We were heading out to our friend's house for a bring a dish dinner party at night.

5- This was the result of my baking! Coffee kisses and cheese nibbles! Blog post coming up later on in the week!

6- And finally, this weekend we've had Mikey's brother's cat staying with us as he is away on holiday! I've really enjoyed having a little bundle of fur to look after the past few days! She's with us until Tuesday night :)

Hope the week ahead is great for you all!

TheSundayPost

Hello Everyone! As usual, here is what I've been up to this week!

The majority of this week has been spent at work! This was my last week before classes start up again so I was working full time to make some pennies for Mexico. I got to wear my brand new coatigan which I featured in my Amsterdam Haul post!

On Monday, I started back on my diet! I started hot yoga on Monday which was an interesting experience. It is in a room heated to 40 degrees celcius so you sweat like a pig! It definitely made me feel a lot calmer so that's gotta be a good thing! I also cooked this amazing chicken and mushroom pie. You can find the recipe for it here

Friday ended up being a bit of a cheat day! I slept in for work so I had no time for breakfast which resulted in me buying a bacon roll from the canteen! Then the free krispy kreme doughnuts arrived with the stationary order just in time for my lunch hour! I then ended up munching a bag of these after work as well! It was worth it :P 

Yesterday was my little brother's 18th birthday! We headed out to Pizza Express for a lovely meal to celebrate as he was going out with his friends at night! Seems like it was just yesterday he was a little boy playing with his tool set! You know you are getting old when you start saying things like that haha! 

So that has been my week this week! Next week I am back to uni so no doubt it's going to be a rather stressful one! Have a great week.
