Haul de haul haul...
quick post on recent purchases...
Barry M dazzle dust in Bronze. Having blue eyes I am always after tricks to make them pop! I use a gold as a base normally but someone recommended bronze from Barry M. I have used the dazzle dust in the past and liked them for nights out but for every day I wasnt so sure. But I have to say that the pigment in this is great! Very shimmery and colours are really bold. Officially my new love.
I also bought 2 cute things from Accessorize. A bangle and a lovely bag. I love it when Accesorize cracks open the summery stuff. Makes me think of misspent youth in Ibiza. I am too old for it now but its good to reminisce about it :)
Roll on summer! xxMwahh xxx

weekends are hard....
for diets that is.
I am so used to spending Friday night watching bad TV, indulging in my fave tipple of B & C and eating all manner of rubbish. This Friday was different. I bought myself some snacks that were healthy choices and resisted the temptation to have a drink.
Gosh it was hard but I am so glad that I did it. I woke up without a hangover and didnt snack all Friday night. My weight is such a battle but I am seriously on a mission. I did 3 hours of exercise last week - thats more exercise than I have done in my whole life!
So I have renewed vigour this week. Its my birthday at the start of Feb and I have a big night out with the girls and I want to lose 6lbs before then. Bring it on!
So I need me one of those has morped from me needed lots of materialistic things to needed me a smaller waist! (For a while anyway!)
And get this - I have only got myself a follower *waves* hello little follower. I already love you.

its been a while...
what with the bloomin snow and a poorly sick bambino its been difficult to do any shopping!
so first day out today and here's what I got...
A gorgeous pair of strappy shoes - leopard print (!) I know (!) from the next sale. I lurve lurve lurve them. They are so sex kitteny! A bargain - £45 to £20.
A cute black and green jacket from armarni.
and that was it. Not so much shopping done today - pout.
but in other news, my diet is working and I have lost another 4lbs this week. yay and double yay.
I feel motivated that summer 2010 is going to spent in cute clothes rather than covering up in black!
I don't want to get to my 40's and regret not doing something about the fact that I have put on weight. So I am on a mission! Join me if you like!

Snow, snow all around
and I am stuck inside. This is tragic as I have a week left off work and its being wasted sat at home coz of the snow!
It doesnt look like its set to end either so I may have to take up a hobby.
Been researching netbooks as my laptop is on its last legs. I just want a small one that will fit in my bag. I would ask for any reviews/suggestions but I think it might echo in here ;)
Did an hour on the Wii - said I had lost 3lbs. What the heck - I am not convinced but if it means that the daft machine won't goad me about gaining weight then I am not complaining.
Here's hoping that the snow stops so I can at least get out and about for my Bebe's birthday on Thursday! xx

Random ramblings
So how was today ...
well its still bloody snowing. Not so much a problem for us at the moment as I am not in work until next Monday but its kind of restricting as our road is not used often and getting a sports car up a hill full of snow is very difficult!
But anyway - today I cracked out the Wii - I had a go of one last year at a friends and loved the Wii Fit. I then mithered and mithered to get one ( I need me one of those now I think was the phrase I used!)
So I got one and for the 1st month I religiously worked out. Its been 69 days since your last workout. It made me feel so guilty. I dreaded getting on incase it gave me a hard time. And it did. 12lbs... Yes thats right 12lbs I have gained since my last visit. Hell that's more than my baby weighed at birth!
So that's spured me on to be motivated I guess. Blah - I hate the whole diet thing. The second I start to eat healthy all I think about is food. Sucks. Big time.
But am doing it any way. So there. Still no followers. Oh woe is me. That's cool - I am guessing a spendaholic, fat hoarder is not the sort of blog that the modern woman wants to read.
Ok so what did I buy today. I bought a couple of eyeshadows from ruby and millie - just to try. An emerald green and a shimmery silver. Not day wear - evening I guess.
I got one of those £5 vouchers from boots for spending a certain amount. I lietrally have these damn things floating in my bag. You cant get out of the store as you end up spending another tenner with your voucher!
So anyhoo - I got a nail varnish from boots - a number 7 stay perfect. Bit of a cheapy one but I find they do last quite well. The colour is night silver - number 62. Its a dark grey silver and is actually bloody lovely on. Doesnt go matt like a lot of shimmer polishes so I highly recommend!
Other items in my little bag of purchases was some piz buin self tan from TKMax - £3 in the sale bargain - smells like fake tan but will do for when I run out.
Finally some little intense shots of conditioner. I am on a mission to get my hair growing. After having waist length hair for most of my adult years - I got itchy feet at the end of last year and had it cut to shoulder length with layers. Whilst I loved it for the first night out, I now hate it and feel some unfeminine. I NEEEEED my hair back. Got some suppliments from Holland and Barrett that look like freakin horse tablets and are as difficult to swallow as I am sure horse tablets are (!) We will see.
Gosh I bet anyone who ever reads this things crikey this chick can talk. Yes, I can - I am just like this in real life!

Hauls....
I hate the word hauls - its so fishermany. I might have to come up with a new word.
So my revolution number 1 starts tomorrow - I am on my mission to eat better, take more exercise and drink more water. All of which should be achievable as I don't drink ANY water, I don't take any exercise apart from queueing and getting in and out of the car and anything other than what I eat now will be a bonus.
I am guessing that the second that I introduce veg and fruit into my diet that I will drop 4 stone. (Insert King of Wishful thinking here)
I have in the past lost a ton of weight doing the Atkins diet but I really feel I need to do something to my lifestyle. So we will see. I am hoping to monitor my progress here.
So my hauls....damn word...
Bought a coverstory box from boots in the sale - loads of sparkly eyeshadows which I love some nice colours too.
A gorgeous grey metallic nail polish from opi. Really like the colour when it goes on - just need to see how long it lasts for.
Some of the benefit kits are on sale in boots so I picked up a few of those. Lets see how they get on.
And finally - some great offers in Beaverbrooks on Gucci - chunky bracelets for £100 - bargain!
What was my revolution about buying?

A New Year Revolution
I decided not to do a resolution list this year as I always break them 2 days in. This year is all about my Revolution!
The things that I am not going to do this year are as follows: -
1) I am not going to spend the year doing faddy diets. I will not do Atkins for 5 days a week just so I can drink at the weekend. I will however eat well and not stress about my weight. I am what I am for a reason - because I eat too much. If I want to losr weight I have to eat less.Period.
2) I will not impulse buy. I have to stop coveting. I obsess about things that I have seen even if I know that I dont need it. So then I go out of my way to get it and then nevr use it.
3) I will use up all of the stuff that I own already. Instead of storing things in boxes and only using them when I stumble on them looking for that swinsuit I pasked away last year, I will dig out all of the things I have full bottles of an endeavour to use them!
4) I will pay my husband more attention. He is often neglected - he needs love - nuff said.
5) I will listen to my skin and take my makeup off.
6) I will look for a new job
7) I will get some followers on blogger
That's it - done - my revolution - hums the tune from TRex.........
Mwahhhh x
