Around Here Lately

Life captured over the last couple of weeks - probably longer as I have had an awful sickness bug this week, but have woken with a smidge of energy this morning, so hope to be back later to share photo's from my beautiful Daughter's Baby Shower!  

Edamame beans enjoyed at Wagamama Manchester, quick, clean, tasty food!

Pukka tea drinking - so hard to choose a favourite....

Cinema visit to see 'Riot Club' - not what I expected - disappointing end and really a teen flick!! Popcorn was good though!!

Enjoyed some much deserved time out with Mr.L at a favourite Indian restaurant, I just adore the copper pot's, particularly when they could tell a story like this one below ;-)

A favourite pastime - choosing gift's - this one is definitely for a magpie's Daughter, although this magpie has read 'The Joy of Less' and things are changing....

Family walks in St.Anne's and having a picnic by the iconic windmill :-)

Juicing.......

& still painting my front door - this is undercoat - 2 layers of topcoat to go - like they say, 

if a job's worth doing and all that ;-)

So, where has life taken you recently?
Thanks for dropping by!

Currently Coveting

I love a throw on dress for work & these smart grey suede wedge boots will be 
perfect with a pair of ribbed tights. 

I discovered how much I love wedges for work here!!

I'm hoping White Stuff will be offering 20% off soon......
just missed out when they had their one day only discount :-(

I know some readers may have an idea of sale dates for some shops -
If you do for White Stuff please share!!

Juicy Lifestyle

Hi there! I've missed this place :-)

I have recently started to 'juice' having read this book by Jason Vale, 
also known as The Juicemeaster.

It's a great book that not only encourages a healthy lifestyle but looks at changing mindset too and I have read it from cover to cover. 

I am taking small steps and enjoying trying some funky recipes having bought a Fusion Juicer (again a Vale product) and have to say it is wonderful.

Some days I have forgone my yummy cereal for a juice and have to say I have felt satisfied for longer than I normally would - often I'm reaching for a sugar fix mid morning - but not when I have had a juice :-) 

The recipe I have been making instead of breakfast has apple, celery, cucumber, avocado and ginger in and claims you will see a difference to waistline in a week. Vale also advises having a slice of unwaxed lemon in hot water first thing (something I often do anyway) and then taking a short run, prior to having the juice. This fits in with me as I have the pup to walk :-)

I need to get organised and do this on consecutive days......below are some pics of my first juicing session with the lovely 'S'

I always prepare all my fruit or veg first :-)

Orange going in.....

Orange coming out!!

Cheers!

We had a bit of a juicing session - juice number 2!!

Anyone else juicing a the moment?
