Valentines Love





So last year my boyfriend and I didn't really do anything and this year I really wanted to make it special. We set a budget, decided to stay in for dinner and had a really fantastic day!! The boy made a home made pizza (yum!) and I made lemon drizzle cupcakes. I decorated his NES with balloons and was really proud of myself as I am scared of them! I got a beautiful diamond ring (pictures to come later) and it is so pretty and sparkly!! We stayed in and watched the Pokemon movie that I bought him, just as something light hearted. It was a lovely day and I really enjoyed the effort we both made. I hope everyone else in a relationship or not had a lovely Valentines day!

Cupcakes!!





My love of baking is something that always cheers me up so I decided to bake something yummy this afternoon. My sister bought me an amazing baking tray that makes flower cupcakes instead of your regular old shape and I haven't really used it that much. My boyfriend is an avid lover of most things lemon flavoured so to be extra nice I decided to use lemon juice in the icing and make them extra tasty! :)

More Snowy Adventures...




Ok so a while ago I posted about how much I love snow, and this time round it snowed so much I got to make a snowman :) It had long ginger hair just like my boyfriend, and once we had decided that it was going to be a look-a-like of him, we figured it would need a smug smile!! I am really proud of him because we didn't have any carrots for his nose or stones for his eyes. We ended up using a glass bottle for his nose and plums for his eyes! I hope everyone else has had a fun snow day!

Transformation Challenge

So last year Gala Darling did the iCiNG Transformation Challenge and I took part and it felt wonderful to have a place to not only vent, but to give and receive support for whatever changes I was trying to make. This year it's back on and I am ready and rearing to go! It started this morning and I have been doing quite well with my positivity and healthy eating. We went food shopping today and I bought lots of fruit and healthy snacks :) Fingers crossed I can keep it up! Keep posted for updates!
