General Delights

Just a quick post to keep you up-to-date with everything that has been going on in the world of me this week ...  

 Yog Hut: Recently opened in Liverpool (I'm lead to believe they're big in America).
 Lapsang Tea: I am a tea addict (even if i do never finish a complete cup according to my boyfriend) and this is my new favourite.
 Nerds: Amazing.
 Hot Chocolate: How fantastic does this look, I'm vegetarian so i'm always being encouraged to drink more milk, and this has to be the most perfect way to do so.
Leopard Nails: First ever attempt this week, I'm going to keep practicing then upload a tutorial ... await further update.

Ben and Jerry's and Chocolate Philadelphia.


Slightly unimaginative blog title, however that is because this post needs no fancy introduction (in my humble opinion). 


This week has been full of the most amazing discoveries! The first of which i'm going to tell you about is Ben and Jerry's Core Berry White.  My life changed for the better the moment I saw this on the shelves in Tesco, it has a core chocolate truffle sauce center surrounded by vanilla ice cream and white chocolate chunks on one side, and raspberry ice cream and raspberry pieces on the other.  This was definitely one of those time where you through caution to the wind and eat the whole 500ml in one go - it is pure delight! 



My second most amazing discovery was Chocolate Philadelphia. Now I know this one has been doing the rounds for a bit now, however I've only just been able to try it - it's like nutella but better, in the way that you don't want to sit there and eat it straight out of the tub with a spoon!  





As you can see, I probably went a bit over board and used a third of a tub on two crackers, however at 86 calories per serving it's a lot less guilt inducing than the Ben and Jerry's.  

Now please excuse me why I say goodbye to ideas I was harboring about achieving an amazing summer body ...

Summer time ...



The end is in sight, and summer is almost here. I am determined to make the most of this one ... the only thing left to decide, however, is how?!

I have a million different ideas/suggestions buzzing around in my head right now - my main concern thought is making it one to remember! Yes I’ve have 'good' summers before, but I’ve never had an amazingly brilliant, so good you want to shout about it from the rooftops summer.

Wah. I'm 
über jealous of everyone I know who has plans to jet off to far flung corners of the Earth - is it really worth maxing out an overdraft in search of summer fun/adventures/thrills/memories that will last FOREVER?! Answers on a postcard please.

The place where dreams are made


So the other day, me and the boyfriend took a walk around what I believe to be the place of dreams A.K.A John Lewis.


Now before you think I’m getting carried away with myself, we were in the Liverpool John Lewis - I have never been to any other and I empathise with anyone who may have to make do with a sub-standard store. Needless-to-say the majority of our trip was spent in the cafe - I feel cafe is not the word to use, it doesn't seem grandiose enough, however - wow. The whole place is just so lovely and cosy and amazing and wonderful! (Pictures to follow) I had a Hot Chocolate, he had a Latté and a current bun type thing ... I don't much like currents and so have promptly forgotten the correct word to describe it!


Anyways this was 100% one of the best days I’ve had in such a long time and that is the reason I wanted to share it with you. Remember ... Go to John Lewis, go now!
