My Week In Photos

(from left to right, top to bottom)

I've done posts similar to this before and I've enjoyed doing them, as you seem to have reading them! So whilst I'm snuggled up watching old episodes of The Great British Bake-off and waiting for my vegetable lasagne to cook, I thought I would just reminisce of what I've done this week!

1. I've been trying to get more active recently, and over the last few weeks I have seen the weather get so much better! This morning when I opened my blind, sun streamed though the window, and whilst I was out running, there was this gorgeous blue, cloudy sky (when usually it's pitch black!).

2. I love a good, long soak in the bath when it gets to the weekend. Usually (if I have anything) I like to chuck in a Lush product. My all time favourite is 'The Comforter'. It does exactly what it says on the tin (or the label in this instance) and you just feel comforted! 

3. I'm a sucker for flowers and whilst in the supermarket, I bought my mum some lilac pastel tulips (swoon). To make room for them, she had thrown away these gorgeous carnations and she said 'they were dead'. I told her off and said they were perfectly alive. I rescued them out of the bin and filled these milk bottles from Ikea. 

4. Like I said, I have been getting more active recently and I decided to write a blog post telling you about what I am getting up to! I'll leave it up to you to have a little read ;)

5. I have been having a little clear out at home and whilst sorting through some things I found this old photo of my Grandad, my sister and I feeding the ducks! I love looking through old photos, if just for the funny outfits - I mean check out my sunglasses!

6. I've really been enjoying the NARS Audacious Lipsticks recently and I finally managed to get my hands on the shade 'Charlotte' the other week! I now have a total of four and I am looking at adding more to my collection in the near future!

7. My sister offered to be my running partner the other day, she very quickly got fed up (she kept wanting to sprint off rather than pacing herself). But it was nice to have some company for a change!

8. Just look at this beautiful sunset! I told you the weather here in the UK was starting to get better. This photo was taken whilst I was out running. I couldn't help but stop to get a snap of the colours in the sky! If only you could believe that the photo doesn't do it justice - the actual thing was a million times better!

9. To motivate myself into working out more, I treated myself to these rather swish Nike Trainers. When they arrived, I tried them on and I just felt as if I was floating on air. They were so cushiony! I'd highly recommend these!

To stay in-the-loop with my on the go adventures, why not follow me on Instagram! 

What have you been up to this week?

Thanks for reading!
