Happy weekend everybody! x

LOTD, Blog Post #5

For today's LOTD, which is blog post I have chosen this handy feature by adayinthelifeofems which is all about money saving tips when shopping! Definitely worth a look!

LOTD Clothes #5

I am starting to think this is a dangerous little game, as every Monday I end up finding something that I want and have ended up buying a few of the items! Opps!

After the couple of days of sunshine we have had I am feeling summery again and as such have hunted out some lovely Aritzia shorts.   I am in love with the style and both the terracotta and grey colours that these come in! I think that they would be really lovey for every day wear as they are nice and loose and would go well with a lot of different style tops.  Sadly I have not been able to find these available in the UK so may have to take a shopping trip to find some dupes!



I can't wait to see your picks for the day and increase my wishlist even further!! x

PS I will check back to sprinkleofglitter later to see if there is a blog post to link too!

LOTD Fact or Quote #4

As I have chosen quotes every week so far I wanted to find a fact this week!  I had to do a bit of searching as I was coming across all the usual 'elephants can't jump' and 'human's ears and noses never stop growing' facts and then I found this and thought it was a pretty fun and I had never heard this before!

Did you know that the human body produces its own supply of alcohol naturally on a continuous basis, 24 hours a day, seven days a week?

LOTD eBay #4

I really like the peplum style skirts that are in style at the moment and find that they flatter my shape really well.  I have 2 dresses with peplums, one is very dressy and the other a bit more casual but I would like a more every day sort of style and so I found these skirts.  I thought they would look cute with a plain tight tshirt for the day times or a bit more dressed up in the evening, such a good price too.  I think I like the navy one best!

LOTD Books #4

Welcome to Wednesday!  Today's LOTD is books and this week I have chosen this book by Betheny Frankel called Naturally Thin.  I have just ordered this book on Amazon and have heard that it is full of healthy tips on how to eat a well balanced and healthy diet and remain slim.  I am not into fad diets but just love to feel healthy and full of energy so I am hoping that this will teach me a few things that I don't know.  I the past I have definitely fallen into the trap of thinking that a food is healthier than it actually is, for example cereal bars but I feel like I have educated myself a lot over the last few years and I am excited to carry on learning!  I have made so many little changes to my diet which have not only made me lose weight without trying but more importantly have helped me to feel better from within and more full of life and energy! Whoop, whoop!

I will do a review on the book after I have read it and let you all know if it is as good as I have heard!

LOTD Blogpost #4

Happy Tuesday everybody!  For this week's blogpost love of the day I have chosen this post by Meek N Mild.  I think she looks lovely in this outfit and as mint is one of my favourite shades of the season this one was a winner for me!  So much so that I popped into town to copy the outfit!! Unfortunately my Primark didn't have the shoes in my size and although Zara had plenty of the dresses available in the sale for just over £15 the skirt just wasn't sitting right on me, sob, but after all a bargain isn't really a bargain if the item isn't right!  None the less I think Shirley suits the dress perfectly and I will still be keeping my eyes peeled incase Primark happen to have my size in the shoes one day!

LOTD Clothes #4

I can't believe this is the start of the 4th week of LOTD's!  The weeks are zooming by!

Mondays are clothes and this week I have found this dress.   Everybody needs an LBD and my current one has served me well, I have actually had it for 5 years and it was from All Saints.  I have worn it over and over to the point where it is now looking a bit shabby so I think I need a new one and the dress from ASOS is right up my street and it is only £22!

 This is me in my All Saints dress many moons ago!


Louise at sprinkleofglitter has found a gorgeous summery skirt so be sure to have a look! x

Lotd Etsy #3

Sunday's LOTD is Etsy and this week I have been looking for some toddler sized cutlery. Thomas loves using his fork and spoon to eat everything even if it is not entirely necessary, toast, fruit, crisps, it all gets speared or scooped! We currently have loads of plastic cutlery from the 99p shop but I remember loving having our own little sets as children, so I have been hunting for something a bit more special and came across these.  You can find these here

While I was looking I came across this tiny cutlery set!  How cute are they!  I would so love a proper dolls house and if I had a nice big spare space to keep one I definitely would!

Pop along to see sprinkleofglitter if you havn't already!

Happy Sunday everybody! x

LOTD Video #3 Late!!

Sorry this is a day late! We had a busy day yesterday and so I didn't get a chance to do my LOTD!

I did find my video of choice though, whilst my husband was driving us round!!

I really like watching videos of people doing the Dougie and I came accross this one of everyone's favourite dancer, Carlton from The Fresh Prince!  Enjoy!

Here is the link to Louise's video choice, which is a rather strange clip of a clam eating salt that you have to watch!

LOTD eBay #3

Happy Thursday everybody!  The LOTD today is eBay, another easy one for me!

Recently I bought one of these nifty shoe stretchers.  I have wide feet and quite often find that if I get a size 7 they slop off but a size 6 pinches, so I thought I would give one of these a try with my smaller sized shoes.  I have stretched 2 pairs so far and the tool has been brilliant! I highly recommend getting one if like me you can't get the perfect fitting shoes straight from the shop!  You only get one sent though so if you have an event in mind then you need to get stretching a few days early to be able to do both!

Happy eBaying! x

LOTD Book#3

Its the middle of the week, countdown to the weekend or hump day as some people call it!  Wednesday's LOTD are Books!

I have chosen this children's book that we borrowed from the library called Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Williams.  It is a simple book with no real message, just not to let the pigeon drive the bus whilst the bus driver is away!  However there are lovely big pictures and it is a fun book to read that children can help with after listening to the story a few times!  Some of the pages made me laugh a lot too!

Here is Louise's choice today, sprinkleofglitter

LOTD Blog Post #3

For today's LOTD, I have chosen a blog post that popped up on the Blogs Of Note section on my blogger homepage.  It is a collection on photos of hummingbirds and is just a simple and pretty post to have a look at :)  I hope you enjoy the pics!

LOTD Clothes #3

Mondays LOTD is clothes and this is probably the easiest one of the week for me as I am always looking at clothes on the internet!  This week I saw someone on Instagram wearing this H&M dress and I absolutely loved it so I did a bit of searching and found it on eBay!  I have managed to find an auction going on in my size so I have added it to my watch list and am hoping for a bargain!  If that doesn't work out then I have my eye on the black peace dress from this seller.  Now wouldn't it be nice to get the weather to wear it!

LOTD Etsy #2

Sundays LOTD is Etsy!  I have to say I love the bracelet that Louise has chosen to show today and with The Little Mermaid being my favourite Disney film as a child I would really love to own it! Click here to have a look!



I was browsing through the pet section and came across these cute lion costumes for Cats or Dogs!  I am not sure if most pets would actually keep them on but I think they are really fun!

LOTD Video #2

Today's LOTD is Video and I had a bit of trouble picking as I tend to watch the same types of videos, so it is difficult to choose between them!
I went for this LuxyHair tutorial because it was the first one I found by the Luxy Sisters and since then I have been a firm fan of theirs, as I have mentioned before!

LOTD Fact or Quote #2

Fridays are quote days!  Have a look see here for lovely Louise's post!



I expect that I will always pinch quotes from Pinterest but I will try and fins a few good facts for some weeks!  Today I have chosen this quote from Dr Suess, simply because I love Dr Suess, and it is just a nice little reminder to be yourself.  I think we may take a trip to the library today and get Thomas a few Dr Suess books now! x
