Together Detox Juice




I know the body is perfectly capable of 'detoxing' itself but there's nothing wrong with giving it a hand, especially when it only costs £1!
I picked this up on our Waitrose trip and drank it yesterday after an alcohol fuelled weekend. The blurb on the bottle claims it will 'keep your liver happy and help your insides behave.'

After only one bottle I can't really comment on this claim, however, I can say it tastes delicious! I was a bit worried I'd have to force it down but it's just like blueberry juice with no hint of the added extras.

For such a cheap price and only 80 calories per bottle I'd defiantly buy more to see if I notice any difference!

Waitrose goodies

On Saturday Chris and I drove over to Malvern so we could take his mum to Waitrose - I looked forward to this trip all of last week and it did not disappoint!

We started off in the cafe because Chris hadn't eaten all day. We had a cup of tea served in the cutest individual tea pots - we've decided we want need some for our house, they were just so adorable!


After that we were like excited children going up and down the aisles, oohing and aahing over everything we can't buy in Tesco or Sainsbury's!
I limited myself to just a couple of items; mostly things that I can't buy in supermarkets here that I've been wanting to try out.


I bought: Together Detox drink, a bulgar wheat, lentil & edamame salad shaker, Bear cocoa cherry granola nibbles, giant wholegrain cous cous, coconut water and almond milk. I took the salad shaker to work today as it was going to expire - I've kept the outer packaging so I can try to re-create it at home as it was so tasty and filling!


I think I might give the almond milk and coconut water a go tomorrow; I've heard alot said about both of them so I'm excited to try!

MAC Viva Glam Gaga





The one that (nearly) got away!
As it always happens, I didn't realise how much I wanted this lipstick until it sold out. I didn't want to buy one off eBay because: 1. They are stupidly expensive and 2. They are probably fakes.

Earlier this week I just happened to be looking on the Debenhams website and I noticed this beauty back on the MAC page! I bought it, but in the back of my mind I was pretty convinced it was a mistake and I was going to be sent the nude/beige Gaga lipstick instead. 

I don't think I've ever ripped into a package so fast as when this arrived yesterday. It's definitely my favourite MAC lipstick so far! Just the perfect shade of pink and don't worry, it's not as scary as it looks in the tube once it's on your lips!
I just checked the Debenhams website and they still have it in stock here in case you missed it the first time around.

Now all I need is the Iris Apfel lipstick in Flamingo and I will be a super happy bunny!

My inspiration

I've been inspired by Laura over at Keeping Healthy Getting Stylish to create a sort of mood board...my motivation for sticking to healthy eating and exercising!


My main motivation this year is bridesmaid duties for my cousin's wedding in September - not too much pressure! 
So the exercising and eating healthy but delicious food ties into that. I get bored when I limit myself to paltry salads day in day out and that has led to binge eating behaviour so I want to focus more on making more appealing, tasty food that I actually look forward to eating!
