I feel like I had a really productive day today...or at least more productive than my days have been lately!
I got up early & went to the gym - did 40 lengths of the pool alternating every few lengths between breast stroke, and using a float to rest my arms and really work my legs. I'm really aiming for overall toning but with particular attention to toning bum tum and thighs so hopefully this routine will help to achieve this!

I went to the shops with my mum in the afternoon and made a quick stop at the library, something I havn't done for years! Turned out to be a very worthwhile trip as I picked up 3 books by my favourite author Tony Parsons, as well as a Katie Price book for my light-hearted trashy reading pleasure!

Also picked up the new Cosmo magazine for the bargain price of £2!


My plan for tomorrow is to go to the gym for a run and a session on the leg press (aka amazing bum toning machine) and then off for a spray tan after that. Tired of feeling pale and as the sun has decided to go back into hiding a spray tan is the only solution!

I am currently sitting outside the Crush's house in my car.
To an outsiders perspective, I look like an actual stalker/bunnyboiler with big dark sunglasses and a watchful eye on my rearview mirror.
The reality is far less exciting: I arrive for an evening of celebratory wine (I have had some good news which il post about at a later date) and the Crush is late home from Wembley where he has been mingling with famous folk all day in the FA Club. Half an hour late!
So to summarise, I am beyond bored and seeking my trusty blog for company.
The good news is, Crush has just called to say he is five minutes away, avec a bottle of wine.
Let's hope he arrives before the neighbours call the police on me for loitering...!

Woke up early & drove to the gym (its about 15 mins by car, i wasn't being lazy! would walk it if i could:P) for my early morning aqua aerobics class, only to arrive and be told it was cancelled! Part of me briefly contemplated turning back around and heading for my car (taking a quick detour past Greggs the bakers for a doughnut) however I chanelled my inner willpower and headed on up to the locker rooms determined to actually do some exercise.

Did 30 lengths in the pool and loved it - i've decided that swimming is definately a surefire way to get fit and toned up quicky. When I was sufficiently exhausted I headed straight for the sauna, my favourite part of the gym. It smells so chocolatey in the sauna for some reason! Yum.

Came home, showered and got ready for lunch with my friend Charlie. Managed to actually get some volume into my hair for once, which is quite an achievment.


Bet i'll never be able to recreate it!

Ended up undoing all of my hard work by ordering cheesy curly fries - total carb overload! We sat outside and the wind caught my menu so I had to chase it all the way across the pub garden - not my finest hour at all!

At home tonight dogsitting my cousins Labrador...when did my life become so damn cool?!
Hope you've all got that Friday feeling!x

I have been a very bad girl and forsaken going swimming at the gym to stay in bed watching old episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
What is wrong with me?!?
It's almost like I think that just thinking about going to the gym will automatically transform me into a Victoria's Secret model but alas this is not the case.

Alessandra Ambrosio is definately the most gorgeous woman in the world. Whenever I feel like reaching for a biscuit (or cake, which is what im dying to reach for right now!!) I need to remind myself that this is not the way to reach an Alessandra-esque physique!

***FYI: Not condoning unhealthy weightloss/dieting...all about eating healthily and regular exercise. Everything in moderation! :)

Currently sitting in my room with toothpaste all over my face looking mighty attractive.
Blemishes are a bloody nightmare arent they?
I am normally very lucky with my skin in that it only flares up every once in a while (or if I have been drinking, damn alcohol) although I havnt always been lucky. Far from it infact.
Between the age of 13-18 i had terrible acne. I tried every lotion and potion on the market, before going to the doctor who prescribed me with various topical treatments, none of which worked. Even going on the pill didn't seem to make my skin any better. Eventually I was put on Roaccutane, a last resort which transpired to be the miracle solution to my horrendous skin.

I have some skin questions to pose to you though:
1) Do you cleanse, tone and moisturise? Do you think this routine actually works?
2) What are the most effective skincare products that you use/have used?

Not feeling too clever today after consuming copious amounts of Rose last night!
