December 15 Favourites

December is such a busy exciting month, which means that usually it is over before we now it. Now that December is drawing to a close I thought it was only right to talk about my monthly favourites. It is a little more sparkley and party ready than other months, but these are things that I have been reaching for all month long!

Christmas Party MakeUp Guide

As we all know, one of the best and also most stressful parts of December is the amount of parties that we need to get ready for. Our nails, tan and makeup needs to be in tip top condition at all times during the month, which isn’t easy when we don’t have any money and spend all our free time in Christmas pyjamas eating mince pies. My birthday is slap bang in the middle of December so I have an added party that I need to get ready for. So I decided to compilea little Christmas Party makeup guide to give you a helping hand.

November 15 Favourites

After a very busy few days I have finally got round to writing up my November favourites, with the weather getting even colder and Christmas getting even closer I have definitely started to adapt my makeup routine. So here are the products I have been continuously reaching for all month long.

Autumn 15 Pamper Routine

Now that the weather is getting colder, it is the perfect time to get a nice hot bath and pamper yourself, before getting into some pyjamas and chilling out in front of the TV. Tonight Rob has gone out and I’ve got the flat to myself, so I thought it would be the perfect time to have a good old pamper night and spend the rest my evening watching a Disney film. So I thought I would share with you my Autumn/Fall pamper routine!

Flexitol Foot Cream

Even though sandal season is definitely over, it doesn’t mean that we should neglect our feet until next Summer. I love having a pamper night when the weather is getting colder, covering them in moisturiser and putting on some big fluffy socks and giving my feet a little TLC. I was recently sent some Flexitol goodies, which I was very excited to try out as I normally love everything from the brand. So here is what I thought..

October 2015 Favourites

October has been a great month for me, we had a girls weekend away in Blackpool and it was my Mum’s birthday so we went out for a lovely meal. I will be sad to see October go because it’s been a great month, but I am definitely excited to start November and get in to party season! Here are a few products that I have been continuously reaching for, for the whole of October.

Oct Superdrug & NewLook Haul

So this week I have been shopping to pick up some presents for two of my best friends that share a birthday, we are having a girls weekend away in Blackpool to celebrate, consisting of a day at the fair and a girls night out. Whilst wondering around the shops looking for presents I thought it would be rude if I didn’t get myself a few treats, most of these were from the Superdrug 3 for 2 sale and one is from New Look. I also bought a gorgeous scarf from Topshop.

Lush Christmas Haul

Recently I passed an exam which has meant that I can now progress on to the next stage of my qualification. Me and Rob decided that we should go shopping in Liverpool to celebrate. Here’s my other post for the other makeup bits that I bought: Link We also went to Zizzi’s for dinner and had a few drinks before jumping the train home. But due to the Christmas range in Lush being released the day before, I just had to drag Rob in to Lush! So here is what I bought!

Well Done Shopping Trip

Recently I passed my final exam completing the first stage of becoming a chartered accountant. Obviously this meant we had to celebrate, and some ‘well done me’ prezzies were in order. My mum got me some lovely Yankee Candle goodies, and me and Rob decided we would get the train to Liverpool for a bit of shopping, a nice Italian and some drinks. I don’t think he realised quite how much shopping that would consist of, when he suggested it, but we managed to last the whole day and didn’t end up on separate trains home. I got two jumpers from Primark, lots of Christmas decoration, too many Lush Christmas bath bombs and also a couple of Beauty goodies that I thought I would share with you.

Autumn 15 Yankee Candles

It is now well and truly Autumn, there is no denying it, it’s time to face the fact that summer is over, Christmas is right around the corner and things are about to get really cold and wet, but there is no need to be bikini ready anymore, so have a flapjack, put on some fluffy socks and an over sized jumper, and lets embrace the berry lip and golden eyeshadow season together! I for one have been getting in to the Autumn spirit for a while now and now that it is now more socially acceptable I am going to start sharing some of my autumnal blog posts (Yayyyy!), starting with this one. As soon as September hit I started my Autumn candle hunt and two weeks ago I took the plunge and went to my local garden centre to pick up some Yankee Candles. Each season I pick up my desired votives and whichever one is my favourite seasonal scent, I buy it in a large jar so I can burn it until my heart’s content (Summer’s was Black Coconut if you’re interested). So here’s what I bought for Autumn 2015!

September 15 Favourites

It’s that monthly favourites time again! Another month over and another month closer to Christmas (sorry!!), after saying goodbye to September we can now welcome October, and undoubtedly welcome Autumn, woooo! (cue the countless Autumnal blog posts). September was a stressful month for me, filled with revision, exams, car break downs, buying a new car, having my new car hit by a runaway driver, hospital visits and finishing off the month with the all clear from my doctors and passing my exams! But even after ending on a high my usual makeup and skin care routine took a bit of a hit, this month my skin has been awful so there are a couple of skin care favourites and as I have worn hardly any makeup due to hibernating to study most of the month, there are only a couple of faves for when I have reached for the war paint!

September 15 Glossybox

September’s Glossybox was the Style Edition the theme seems to be grey and pink which is completely fine with me. The box contained 5 full sized products, FIVE!! I was so excited when I heard that, I was really looking forward to seeing what would be hidden away inside my box and Glossybox did not disappoint!

Mini Lush Haul Sep 15

I went to Lush last week and picked up a couple of goodies for my sister-in-law and so obviously had to get some stuff for myself, I know I will have to go back in a few days due to the release of all the Christmas Lush products, but you can never have too much Lush, right?! I picked my sister-in-law up a Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb (£3.35), this is heart shaped and smelt of roses and was filled with rose petals that float around your bath, floral isn’t really my thing but perfect for her. But here’s what I came home with for me..

Glove Your Body Tanning Mitt

A little while ago I was sent a tanning mitt and an exfoliating mitt from Glove Your Body, I originally saw them on twitter, their account is here if you want to check it out. They are sold in Euros, but they are distributed worldwide. You can buy the mitts separately or together for €24.99. So here is what I thought!

September 15 Birchbox

So I finally gave in and signed up to Birchbox, after a full year of receiving Glossybox I thought I would sink my teeth in to a different Beauty box. After shipping, both boxes work out around the same price, so I assumed they would be extremely similar.

Neal's Yard Lavender Bath Salts

I am the biggest lavender fan! I have lavender candles, bath bombs, oils and obviously a couple of sticks  of lavender in a vase on the dining table. So these bath salts from Neal’s Yard Remedies sounded perfect for me! This is the biggest jar of bath salts that I have ever seen (500g) and you barely need any to fill your bath with lovely lavender scents, so I can see this lasting me forever!

Empties - September 15

It’s about time that I did an empties post! I love reading these, as I think it’s a really good way to see what products bloggers love enough to completely finish a bottle of. So here are some of the products that I have finished recently and what I thought of them.

Glossybox Top 10

It has been a year since I first signed up to Glossybox, in that time I have received 12 boxes, and 2 limited edition boxes. I have found some amazing products, some great brands and some products that I have repurchased time and time again. I didn’t realise it was my 12^th box until I received a card with my August box and a Glossybox notebook to say thanks! So I thought I would do my top 10 products that I have received over the last year, this was much harder than I thought as there was so many others that I wanted to include.

Dermatique Recuperating Cream

As some of you will already know I have suffered from eczema for my whole life. When I was a baby and toddler I was absolutely covered in it, from head to toe, as I got older it started to affect me only in certain patches age seems to have resolved the issue, but the one area that I have always had eczema, is on my hands. I don’t think that will ever leave me, I don’t believe that I will ever grow out of it, I think this is something that I will have to live with forever so I try my very best to manage it well.

York Guide

I am finally telling you all about my fantastic trip to York a couple of weeks ago! Me and Rob went away for the weekend for his 25^th Birthday. We visited York throughout the day and stayed in Melbourne just outside of York, we had a fantastic time and I have been dying to tell you all about my trip, so if you are planning on visiting York soon or looking for a new UK break destination then here is my York Guide!

SK:N Clinics

I have had these products for absolutely ages, and I have been dying to tell you all about them, but I wanted to make sure I gave them a really good try before I shared with you what I thought! These products were sent to me from sk:n clinics and I was sent their Cleanser for normal or combination skin, the Blemish Control Lotion and the Age-Delaying Cream. I adore the packaging, I think they look really simple and sleek. Sk:n Clinics are official partners with the NHS and the British Skin Foundation.

August '15 Favourites

I know everyone seems to be moaning about waving goodbye to Summer but I am definitely welcoming September with open arms. Bring on the berry lips, fluffy scarves and comfy shoe boots! Throughout August I spent a weekend away in York in a log cabin on a stunning fishing lake, attended my Friend’s gorgeous wedding, attended one of my best friend’s little boys first birthday and also had a big night out in Manchester for one of my best friend’s 23^rd birthday. So I’ve used a lot of different products this month, but here are a few products that I have kept picking up again and again all throughout August!

Angelica Nails

For any of you that follow me on Instagram you will definitely have noticed my insane love for Angelica Nails. The lovely people there recently sent me some nail varnishes to try out. They sent me a top coat, a base coat and 15 different varnishes. The varnishes are all very very affordable (around £2/£2.50) but more importantly there is so much choice, there is literally a nail varnish to match every outfit you have. The range is incredible and seems to always be changing and expanding.

All the varnishes apply super easily (Elfin was a tiny bit gloopy, but the other 16 varnishes I tried were the perfect consistency) and don’t chip easily! The base coat dries clear and keeps nails healthy and the top coat keeps nails looking really shiny. Both were really simple to use.

August 15 Glossybox

This month’s Glossybox, like all the others did not disappoint! It contained 5 products, 4 of which were full sized that were all very different but all really great! There was no particular theme this month, and the box was it’s usual plain pink and black Glossybox design. So here’s what I thought of the products.

Rose Garden Scentiment Candle

I am very excited to finally be telling you all about Scentiment Candles! They are a brand new candles company based in Manchester, UK. In a few weeks time they will be doing their official launch and releasing 6 lovely scented candles! I have been lucky enough to try one of their candles in preparation for the official launch. There has been no advertising for these candles yet, as everything has been kept a big surprise.. until now!

This candle is available to buy now, on their website!

Maple Holistics Give Away

I am finally hosting my first ever giveaway! And I am so so so excited. I can finally say thank you to my followers for reading my posts, leaving me comments, tweeting and emailing me, it’s so nice after 10 months of blogging, to finally give one of you the chance to win some goodies!

The lovely people at Maple Holistics have given me the chance to be part of their #summerofgiveaways campaign which is sponsored by edumuch.com. Maple Holistics are a US based Beauty Company that develop and manufacture natural and animal cruelty free products.

I will be posting a blog post soon with a review of some of their products very soon so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Soul and Soap

I was recently sent some goodies from the lovely people at Soul and Soap, a relatively new British company selling handmade skincare products. I was sent two soaps and a shower Soufflé. The box came beautifully wrapped, with handmade labels for the soaps and potpourri sprinkled in the hay like packaging, it was such a lovely touch, you can tell how much effort and passion Anna (Soul and Soap’s owner) puts in to her products to make them look truly stunning from start to finish.

Superdrug Haul August

I’ve recently been to Superdrug and couldn’t help but to pick up a few things. The Superdrug that I visited was only a small one and unfortunately there wasn’t a huge range of things, and shockingly there was no Revolution!! But here’s what I picked up.

July '15 Favourites

This is my first ever monthly favourites, and I have found it so hard to not choose everything in my makeup collection, so I have tried really hard to stick to what I haven’t been able to put down during July.

Insta Natural Cellulite Cream

I was recently sent some cellulite cream from InstaNatural, I am always so sceptical when it comes to cellulite cream, I find it hard to believe that something like this could ever really work, but I thought I should try it with an open mind and give it a fair try.

Radox Shower Gels

A couple of months ago I picked up one of the new Radox shower gels in ASDA. The scents and packaging has had a little revamp so I was very intrigued to give them a try. They come in so many different fragrances and I have had the chance to try; Feel Bubbly (passionfruit), Feel Glam (berry), Feel Fantastic (cherry), Feel Gorgeous (coconut), Feel Rejuvenated (orange) and Feel Calm (Chamomile and Jojoba).

Beauty Naturals Review

I have some lovely products from Beauty Naturals that I have been meaning to tell you all about for way too long. A couple of these have appeared in blog posts before so thought it was time I gave them a full review.

Wilko's Kiss Range

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews for Wilkos new beauty range Kiss, so I thought it was definitely time that I gave it a try and made my own mind up. I bought 5 things from the range; the primer, body scrub, cleansing foam, clay face mask and the lip scrub. The whole range has this very sweet and simple packaging and these adorable little ‘benefit esque’ slogans on them. Everything from the range has a light apricot, fruity scent which is gorgeous!

Ginvera Skincare

I was recently sent some lovely products from Ginvera (www.janiro.co.uk) that I was lucky enough to try out. Their products are all natural and one of their key ingredients is green tea, so I was really intrigued to see what they would be like. I was sent a Dark Circle Roll Away Gel and a BB Cream to try out.

The Battle of the Primers

I have chosen 3 very different primers to compare for the battle of the primers. A budget, a standard and a luxury primer.

Festival Makeup Tips

My brother and his wife didn’t manage to get Glasto tickets this year, so instead they decided to host a Glasto BBQ. This is basically a regularBBQ, but everyone wears typical festival clothes (wellies of course) and there was a tent and UV face paints in the garden. Now festival makeup has to be light, sweat resistant and glowey (glitter is optional but definitely recommended). Try to keep makeup light purely because it will be less noticeable when it starts to run, smudge or fade, due to excessive wine and of course jumping around wildly waving your arms in the air like you just don’t care.

L’OREAL PARIS Micellar Water

I bought this a few month’s back after the gorgeous Toni Eaton tweeted about it (Check out her twitter and give her a follow: https://twitter.com/tonieatonx?lang=en-gb) and I have to say I have fallen madly and shamelessly in love.

Revolution Lip Gloss

A little while ago I was majorly dropping hints to my boyfriend to skip down to superdrug and get me some revolution eye shadow palettes. One evening I came home from work to find a lovely little lip set. It had 3 very bright chunky lip pencils and this clear gloss. 

I am a gloss lover, I never keep a matte lipstick, matte for very long, I am gloss obsessed. No matter how much I try to leave my lipstick alone, the drying out and peeling dread comes over me and I reach for a gloss! This gloss is perfect, it's not a plumper or pucker or anything too uncomfortable and fancy, it's just a plain everyday gloss. Yes, I know glosses can be heavy and sticky and irritating. But this is light and not at all sticky, which is great for blustery days and the occasional smooch. 

Weight Loss Progress W7

This is week 7 of my New Year diet, and this week I lost 1 pound! Not a great deal, but atleast I’m still losing weight. My total weight loss now is 7.5 pounds! But I definitely need to up my game!

MERUMAYA Skincare products

I recently received some small samples (very small) from MERUMAYA Skincare, which is a start up company. It hasn’t been around for very long, but surprisingly has a very large range of products. These range from hand cream to toner to supplements. None of the products seem to have the drug store price tag that I was expecting from a start up brand so I was expecting great things.

Week 4, 5 and 6 Weight Loss Progress

Now as you will have read, or realised, I haven’t been posting these weight loss posts like I said I would. My initial plan was to post every week with an update of my weight loss and how I have done it, and then every month an update of my weight loss in inches. I did this for 3 weeks and everything was going smoothly. I had lost a total of 8.5 pounds since New Year. In Week 4 I lost another pound totally 9.5 pound weight loss. However after this week I became extremely busy and my blog suffered because of it. I haven’t done my weekly weight loss posts, my Glossybox reviews or any other post.

My Very BIG News

So first off let me apologise. I have been massively neglecting my blog recently and haven’t posted for a while. I haven’t done my weekly weight loss updates, my Glossybox reviews or any other posts. So don’t worry I will try my best to get back up to date as soon as possible. It’s all due to being extremely busy and this is why.

Weight Loss Progress Week 3

I should have posted this on Wednesday but I have had such a busy week – apologies. In the last week I have lost 1 pound I know that doesn’t sound like a lot but added to my total since the 2^nd Jan I have lost 8.5 pounds, so I’m just pleased that I lost something, especially after the cheat week that I had!

This is last week's post: http://megandoesbeauty1.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/lost-another-3-pound-heres-how.html

Harvey Nichols Glossbox

As you all know, I am a very big beauty box fan. And my beauty box of choice is Glossybox. I absolutely love surprises, little surprises, big surprises. Love them all. And a beauty box is like buying yourself a lovely surprise every month! So naturally when I saw the advert for the limited edition Harvey Nichols Glossybox, I just had to have it. 

I Heart Make Up - Chocolate Desire

So recently I went into my town centres Superdrug to have a look at what I could pick up from Revolutions new I <3 Make Up range. The range they had in store was a little disappointing, nothing like what they have available online, so I only picked up a I <3 Bronzer in Chocolate Desire and a You’re Gorgeous Eye Shadow palette, which is definitely gorgeous. There are a lot of shadows to get through on it, so I won’t write up a review until I’ve given them all a good try.

Lost Another 3 Pound, Here's How

This is my second week of my New Year diet, and this week I have lost 3 pounds! That makes 7.5 pounds over all! Half a stone in just two weeks. I am so made up and excited to finally be getting back into dieting! I am starting to feel much healthier. I already feel like I have more energy, I wake up in the morning much more easily, and all the extra water has made my skin look so much brighter!

You will find last week’s post here: http://megandoesbeauty1.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/i-lost-45-pounds-in-5-days-heres-how.html

So let me tell you how I’ve done it this week..

My diet is basically slimming world, but with a few twists as I’m quite fussy, love junk food and hate veg and salads!

So let me start with this week’s top tips!

Top Tips

Treat yourself If you are craving a biscuit, or a bag of crisps just have them. If you don’t allow yourself to, you will just become miserable. You are more likely to stick with a diet if you allow yourself the OCCASIONAL treat.

If like me, you also hate the gym, try to stay active as best you can, do things like take the stairs or walk to the shops

Drink plenty of water, it helps you to digest food and also makes you feel fuller!

Try to swap old foods for healthier alternatives

I always stick to counting saturated fat, I don’t take notice of calories or sugar, saturated fat is what we store, so that is what I concentrate on and I love carbs! This diet works for me and it helps me lose weight. Not all diets work for everyone, but this is definitely worth giving a go!

What I Ate

Wednesday 7^th Jan

Granola and semi-skimmed milk

Muller Light yogurt

Jacket potato and beans

Fruit pot – Strawberries, grapes and pineapple

Chicken and pesto in flatbread – ASDA

Walkers baked crisps

Chicken bites

Handful of wine gums

On Wednesday I was at a meeting in Bristol, so woke up in a hotel, were thankfully I could get granola and a yogurt, then went to our Bristol office were I had my jacket potato and beans and fruit pot. Then spent the whole of the evening travelling home. Hence all the cheat food! The chicken flatbread was the healthiest thing they sold in the convenience deli section at ASDA, it was actually gorgeous and not too fatty. The crisps were a little naughty – but atleast I picked baked. And chicken bites are great because they’re just little pieces of chicken! So healthy. And wine gums are a great alternative to chocolate as they contain no fat – but do have a lot of sugar so don’t eat more than a handful.

Thursday 8^th Jan

Granola and semi-skimmed milk (again a small bowl – 30g)

Beans and a Jacket potato

Apple

Grilled Gammon, fried eggs done in Fry Light and spaghetti hoops and slimming world wedges

And a handful of wine gums

Beans and a jacket potato are great. On Slimming World they’re syn-free and it is so filling – don’t put any butter on though! Grilled gammon and spaghetti hoops are also syn-free. Make sure to grill your gammon, never fry and make sure you remove all fat before cooking. Fried eggs are great if they’re cooked in Fry Light!

Friday 9^thJan

Granola and Milk

Super Noodles – curry

Muller Light

Chicken skewers and rice

Granola is a great alternative to toast – however it is not amazing, so make sure you only have a small bowl – 30g. People think Super Noodles are really bad for you because they’re quick and easy to make, however they actually don’t have too much saturated fat in and the spice makes your metabolism kick in!

Saturday 10^th Jan

Bacon, beans, eggs and one piece of dry toast

Tomato, chicken and basil pasta pot – CO-OP

Special K Cracker Crisps – Salt and vinegar

Subway

Walkers Baked Crisps

Handful of skittles

On slimming world you can have a syn-free breakfast which is great. If you cut the fat off your bacon and grill it and fry your eggs in Fry Light then it is all fairly healthy. Only have one piece of toast and don’t butter it! I was out all day with my friends so I grabbed a pasta pot from CO-OP which is my favourite – I adore it. And it isn’t TOO bad. And then on the evening I got in late, couldn’t be bothered cooking, so I went to Subway – naughty me. I got a 6 inch with teriyaki chicken, lettuce and sweet onion sauce – No cheese! (It killed me to say no to the cheese)

Sunday 11^th Jan

Bacon, beans, eggs and one piece of dry toast

Chicken Fajitas

Popcorn – sweet (0.8g of Sat Fat)

Too many wine gums

So the fajitas I made by frying chicken in Fry Light adding the packet spice, onions and peppers. I then warmed through low fat tortillas, and served with lettuce, low fat cheese, low fat onion and garlic dip and salsa! Popcorn is a great alternative to crisps as it has hardly any sat fat in it. And there is no excuse for the wine gums – I got carried away

Monday 12^th Jan

Granola and Milk

Slimming World Chilli and Rice (Recipe below)

Muller Light

Turkey skewers and boiled potatos

Few Harribo gummy bears

Salt and V popcorn

Turkey is great because it is even more healthy than chicken. Cut it into chunks, roll in spices and put on a skewer and place in the oven. Serve with potatos – but don’t add butter.

Tuesday 13^th Jan

Granola and Milk

Super Noodles – Curry

Muller Light

Banana

Slimming World Spag Bol (recipe below)

Exercise

I went to the gym on Tuesday night, but that’s all I’m afraid. Not much of a gym bunny!

I did 30 minutes on the cross trainer, 30 minutes on the bike. 3 sets of 10 on one arm weight machine (no idea what they’re called but it focused on shoulders) and 3 sets of 10 on another (again no idea but it focused on chests). And 3 sets on 10 squats on the power plate

Recipes

Slimming world Spag Bol

Fry minced pork in a few sprays of fry light, add in chopped onions and peppers! Once all fried add in a tin of chopped tomatoes, 1 tsp garlic paste, 1tsp cumin, 1tsp oregano, season to taste! Eat with dried spaghetti.

Slimming world Curry

There are lots of slimming world curries that I love, this is just one!

Fry chicken in fry light spray with onions, once fried add 2tsp of root ginger, 2tsp garlic, 1tbsp of curry powder, 1tsp cumin, ¼ tsp of turmeric, a tin of chopped tomatoes and 300ml of chicken stock.

Slimming World Chips

Chop up a large potato, either into wedges using the skin or chips after peeling. Place on a baking tray, spray with fry light and cover in salt and pepper and mixed herbs! They are gorgeous!

Slimming World Chilli

Fry minced pork in fry light, with onions, peppers and carrots. Once fried add in tin of chopped tomatoes, 1 tsp garlic paste, 2 tsp cumin,1 tsp cinnamon, 2tsps paprika, tin of kidney beans, tin of baked beans.

So all that food, all that cheating, and hardly any exercise and I still lost 3 pounds in 7 days! Each day I drank 2 litres of water, but also drank diet fizzy drinks along with a few cups of tea and milk. Just try to swap for healthy alternatives, I don’t really like salads or veg and have to force myself to eat them, it’s much easier for me to stick to hhealthy carbs and avoid fatty foods, oils, butters and sauces. I didn’t drink any alcohol this week. It’s my friend’s birthday this weekend so I know that we will have a heavy drinking session for our night out in Machester – so I thought I’d try to give myself a rest this week.

Please try it out and see what you think, see if it works for you, or tell me all about your weight loss program and your story! Also let me know any recipes that you have tried and loved! If you have any questions or need any advice please email me! megandoesbeauty@outlook.com. And I’ll check in on Wednesday and let you know how I did!

I Lost 4.5 Pounds in 5 days, here's how!

In the last 5 days I have lost 4 and a half pounds starting back on my diet! So let me tell you how I’ve done it!

I started in Jan 2014, I lost a total of 2 stone and 4 pounds up until Aug 2014, by following this diet. After my summer holiday the weight started to creep on and by Christmas I was stuffing my face. I let myself go a bit crazy over December because I knew I’d be starting back in January. So here I am in January starting all over again, after putting back on some of the weight I was 1 stone 3 and a half pounds lighter than when I started this in Jan 2014. But I’m now going to start a new slate, with a new starting weight and a new weight loss goal!

This is my last 2014 transformation

I started on Friday 2^nd January, I measured and weighed myself with my new initial amounts. My new weigh day is now Wednesday, so this means that this week was just a 5 day week, but next week I will give you the full 7 day breakdown, Wednesday to Wednesday. And I plan to measure myself every month!

My diet is basically slimming world, but with a few twists as I’m quite fussy, love junk food and hate veg and salads!

So let me start with some top tips!
