Meals of the week

I was quite excited to right this post as it was something a bit different, but unfortunately my photos haven't wanted to upload and as this is a photo based post, it kind of looses its purpose (the reason i have been a bit distant from blogging recently).

Whilst struggling with uploading, my laptop decided to delete a few photos which is so frustrating, but i decided im still going to upload the photos and post, it will just have to be a short week, sorry guys!

These aren't all main meals some of them were lunches and some were dinners all from one week, and no i don't eat out alot i just thought it would be more interesting if i posted about a week a went for meals a few times.

Gorgeous snacky lunch at Revolution ( a great place to eat) with buttermilk chicken strips- which was so tasty, snack size burgers and homemade sweet potato chips. It was surprisingly healthier than i though.

A quick lunch from Caffe Nero. Tuna and Mozzarella melt panini, can't go wrong with Caffe Nero.

My first ever visit to Wagamamas. So of course i got the all famous Chicken Katsu Curry, which i loved, however i am aware they aren't very good for you. But this isn't a 'Healthy meals of the week'.

And one of my favourites, my mums homemade Moussaka (like a potato lasagna) with veggies and my absolute favourites Sweet potato fries, which i eat with nearly every meal at the moment. These ones or just shop bought but my mum definitely makes them better.

Lastly i made myself a lovely Spinach and ricotta tortelloni as that is my new obsession, placed with tomato and basil sauce on top with peppers and caramelized onions and of course a piece of garlic bread on the side. However the picture did go missing.

I am so sorry guys for the mish mash of a post, i hoped it would be better if i didn't have laptop troubles. 

Thank you for reading.

Things you will always find in my bag

If im not mistaken i think i saw Corrie from DizzyBrunette do a post like this and i quite liked it so i thought i would do it a post like it too.

The bag i am using at the moment is the Fiorelli Luella grab medium bag, i have been loving this bag recently, i think its because its cream so it kind of fits in with summer instead of black.

The first thing i always have in my hand bag is a umbrella, it just sits at the bottom of my bag all the time because well, just in case, British weather is very hit and miss so that keeps me safe when the rain strikes.

Palmers cocoa butter hand cream is one thing i always keep in my bag, im not addicted, i don't always use this ( because i don't like stuff on my hands) but when i have dry hands this is always the hand cream i go to.

My portable charger is a must! I always leave the house with a 80% battery or above on my phone which im totally comfortable with, anything lower and i worry how i might cope. I always end up fine but if i end up staying out or going somewhere straight after then i like to know i have it in my bag in case i stay the night, if gives you up to 4/5 extra charges which is plenty.

As i said; i like to make sure my phone is charged if i stay out the night with out taking my full charger, i also like to know im prepared to. This might be quite weird but it has proven very helpful in the past, i like to keep a small makeup bag in my handbag and inside: some ibuprofen for nasty headaches, plasters, a travel toothbrush (in case i end up staying somewhere), a razor (weird but same reason really as the toothbrush) and girly products. It has become a habit now to keep this purse in my bag and it surprisingly doesn't take up much room.

Obviously i have my purse in there to carry money and my cards, it is from new look but i am currently on the look out for a new purse as this one is starting to give in. A long with that i always have my headphones in my handbag too, i say that but ironically i have forgotten them the last few days as they were in my coat pocket. Typical.

I no longer carry my whole makeup bag with me even though is used to be a complete essential but instead of the whole bunch i just carry a concealer and what ever lipstick i decided to wear that day, I say which ever lipstick i was wearing, when really i have about 5 at the bottom of my bag due to being indecisive or just forgetful, they are: Mac Brave, Mac plumful, Mac Mehr, Maybelline color drama in Nudist and Rimmel lasting lipliner in Eastend snob.

Lancome - Teint idole ultra 24h Foundation

When deciding to write this i found it shocking that i hadn't written a post about this product before as its my favourite!

I'll just get straight into talking about the product and hopefully not ramble on.

I find it hard to find a foundation that i use religiously, as there's not one that has me hooked.. until my discovery of this beauty!
I have been using it for about two years now and i have never committed to a foundation this much.

if you like a light weight base, this is not the foundation for you as it has got more of a medium/high coverage; despite that, it has a flawless finish, i mean flawless!
I would say the coverage is similar to Estee Lauder Double Wear (which i have a love-hate relationship with) although this is a lot more of a dewy, hydrating formula, i find, whereas the double wear is on the matte side of things.


The main reason i love this and probably the one factor people want to know most about: the staying power. I can honestly say it doesn't slide around your face, i haven't wore it for a full 24 hours (pfft i need my sleep) but it beat the 12 hour mark. I cant imagine it managing a full 24 hours with out one or two touch ups but it definitely gives it a good go.

Overall it is a great foundation, it doesn't grip to any dry matches i have, and i have alot.  I would advise anyone with oily skin to seal it with a powder because the glowy formula will exaggerate already oily skin a tad without a powder.

This is a great foundation when you want a flawless base; it smoothes out your pores and it covers just about everything

Have you tried it?
