Embracing life in 3 weeks!

Three weeks!!! How time flies.

It has already been three weeks since I first started this blog. To be honest I have done far better than I would have expected. 

I have accomplished more than I would have done usually. The blog has motivated me to actually go out and LIVE! To do things I want to do but didn't/couldn't previously. I made time! Simple things can make one happy. 

So far I have ventured out, cooked items I wanted that I hadn't done before, exercised, ate healthy (majority of the time), walked a lot, found places I hadn't realised existed in London, watched Wimbledon and the football World Cup in nice bars, casinos, outdoor venues, I just packed a whole lot in and am loving it. (Pictures are snippets of what I've done) 

I started the blog to have a fresh start, almost as a journal. Keep myself motivated and de-stress. It most certainly has served that purpose and more. I have a new found hobby. I have so many ideas about what I would love to write about. Now not only do I need to live life but I also need to find that much extra time to dedicate an extra few moments to this blog too. Time management! (Look out for an up coming post on that)

Now when I say I have packed a lot in, it is a lot for me. I really wanted to get a healthy lifestyle going on. I'm not one for dieting. I like exercising and eating whatever I like (in moderation plus adding in healthy snacks on the side). I didn't manage to completely follow my routine, however the days I didn't exercise I still kept active, walked a lot, house cleaning etc. Again, I will have a post up on how to incorporate healthy foods into your normal routine so you don't have to 'diet'. 

Moral of blog post: if you want to do something in life, whether it be big or small, go out and do it. Make it happen. There is always a way. Embrace life. Be happy!

Do you like these rambly type of bog posts? Let me know either way.

Home haul

Last week I went into my local grocery store (Tesco), needing to pick up basics (milk, cereal, etc). Once I got there I realised they had recently refitted the place. It had a nice new layout and I noticed the home section was bigger and had a better selection than it did previously. 

Being the shopaholic I am, I couldn't resist checking it out. Inevitably I ended up picking out some items. So, as shown in the picture above I found a wok with a lid. I have been looking for one with a lid so that it can be used for a variety of dishes I want to make. So was very pleased to have found that. 

I also saw a large pot which would again be handy for a tonne of different dishes and esp good for when you are cooking for a dinner party. 

Now this was my favourite find, amazing coloured cushions. I picked up a burnt orange colour to see how it went on my sofa. I absolutely LOVED IT! 

From Tesco I also picked up a blender -kitchen staple! 

As I loved the cushions a lot, I ended up going back and picking up lime green ones too - I am so glad I did. They liven up and brighten our living room. Not only that, they are soft, fluffy, smooth and comfy. Plus they were on offer 2 for £12. What a bargain! 

The photo doesn't show the true colour. But you get the idea. 

They match my throw which I bought in the winter for TKMax for about £15. Again the softest most cosiest throw ever! 

All smiles over here! Message me below or on twitter if you would like more home hauls.
