Cooking.

It is so hard for me to post anything without it including food. I am this little thing I do, If I am stressed I bake if I am upset I eat, If I am slightly lost for something to do, I blog about baking and eating.

It is a vicious circle.

In the past year I have learnt to cook..

Honey roasted pork belly, with roasted parsnips and sprouts.

Roasted veg, mozzarella, honey and ciabatta.

French brioche

Butternut squash soup

Cheese and onion quiche

1000 things to see before you die.

1000 Places to see before you die

I read, and I read a lot. I guess it is because I have gone through book after book so quick. But this isn't an normal book.

I spotted this book last November while out shopping for the man in my life at the time. Yes, I did buy it for me. God I regret that maybe I should just buy more stuff for me. Anyway I went back to waterstones after hunting high and low for this dam book and finally found it.

It is priced at £14.99

This writer of this book has literally been everywhere in the world. Admittedly there are a few places I would not want to venture. I am starting off close to home, and stretching out, I would love to travel, everywhere experience different cultures, eat different foods and see how other people live.

Do you enjoy bookshops as much as me, I could literally read everything!!

Saturday 1st march Wedding fair

I am a hairdresser, Did you guys even know that? I don't think I have mentioned it until now. I do, do the occasional wedding fair. Once every few months. So today just started like a normal day with me deciding if I should of shouldn't get out of bed.

However the start of today was a good day, I tried on this top which used to be tight on me, and it was so baggy!!! This made me incredibly happy. I love when clothes don't fit in that sense but having to pull up my trousers every ten seconds well lets just say it has its downfall. I am however refusing to buy new clothes until I loose a little more weight including getting my ring re-sized I had taken it off yesterday and panicked when I couldn't find it. Yesterday wasn't a good day.

My Hair today all put to one side with the one small flower.

Full outfit, why do us women have hips!

My stall at the wedding fair, It wasn't as successful as last time. Which is a shame. But still I will find out if I got business from it or not. I love doing hair ups/bridal/formal hair ever since I was little. It is a job I really enjoy. I would do it full time If I could. However working at the shop pays the bills. I don't enjoy working at the shop only with the girls are in. I will however by the end of the year get my life finally in control and do this full time.

GOAL TIME!

What do you guys think, It was a last minute almost plan.

Do you guys have any hobbies you enjoy doing? Or careers?

WEEK OFF - Feb

I had the best plans to go back down to Devon (Where I am from) Do some wedding shopping with the best friend who Is getting married this year, catch up with a lot of friends actually do lots of hair. But some plans just don't work out, and I ended up with a week off, and a very clean house.

I spent the majority of the time with Mias children, Still making up for lost time. We went shopping, went to a comedy show, Make up tips, and I started this blog again.

Here are a few random pictures from the week.

Hare and the Bull, cheltenham.

Luckily the weather wasn't as bad as it usually was, not as much rain as expected.

Little harper who is almost 5 months now, This is my twins Mias daughter.

Me and Dylan reading spot the dog book.

Mia and me shopping, trying on the hats!

Mia hates this!! I don't know how! I have ample size boobs so I could never and I mean NEVER pull off a dress like this!

Happy with my 18lbs weight loss!

Rueben playing on the slide at the park.

Amazing hat from river island. I will go back there and I will buy this.

Mango juice drink

I am so sad to be going back to work..It reminds me I need to look for another job.. I really am starting to dread going to work. Isn't that silly?

Benefit make over.

BENEFIT MAKE OVER

Out of all the make up brands I have tried, I have two which are up there in the favourites. Mac and Benefit. Now because there isn't a MAC store in Cheltenham and I no longer have a ridiculously big pay check I will stick with benefit. So when we popped to the benefit stall in Cheltenham we had a little browse and a make over. The girl serving was fantastic! Explained everything she was using in depth detail. Now throughout my everyday makeup I do use their primer, powder,mascara and bronzer. However she recommended a fantastic moisturiser to use before hand.. I will have to wait until next pay day thou.

Me before and after the make over!

I would recommend popping into your nearest benefit and just having a chat if you are unsure. The one thing which I WISH they did do in Cheltenham is a benefit brow bar, They have one in Norwich in House of Fraser and wow my eyebrows never looked so good. Now they are in desperate need of some TLC.

That's a tick of the bucket list, See a comedian.

Rob beckett.

Rob Beckett is a British stand-up comedian and actor, best known as a co-host on the ITV2 spin-off show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW!

Such a good night, Lloyd griffith came on first MAN he was hilarious! Quick witted and really got along with the audience wasn't too bad on the eye either!

So it was being held at cheltenham town hall the tickets where only £12.50 each! Which my sister ever so nicely got me! It was the first time we had been out together in about five years.. Her having three kids makes it a little hard for her to get out much.
