As I said in my New Year aims post, I wanted to start trying some new recipes, so today is the first recipe of many!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a look through my many recipe books and magazines and settled on a Moroccan Lamb Stew from a Good To Know Recipes magazine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adapted the recipe to suit 2 people and substituted a few things that I forgot to buy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Ingredients</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Meatballs</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 onion, finely chopped</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
200g mince lamb</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1tsp ras el hanout spice mix</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 egg yolk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Sauce</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1tbsp olive oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 onion, chopped</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 garlic clove</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1tsp ginger (I used dried, fresh is probably better!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1tsp ras el hanout spice mix</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can chopped tomatoes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Salt & Pepper to season</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Method</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1- For the meatballs mix in a bowl the minced lamb, onion, ras el hanout and egg yolk. Season with salt and pepper and form into golf ball sized balls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the meatballs for 5 mins until they start to colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3- Then add the rest of the onion and soften for a few minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4- Add the garlic, ginger and ras el hanout and cook for a minute. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and season to taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5- Simmer for 10-15 minutes and add a little water if the sauce gets a little dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I served this with couscous flavoured with red onion and peppers and some broccoli.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was pretty damn tasty and quick to do, much speedier than using lamb chunks. This one has earned a place on our to cook again list!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I just need to learn how to take decent photos of food!</div>

I don't really like to give myself New Year's resolutions, because everyone know resolutions nearly always get broken! But I do like to give myself some aims for the following year, something to aim to do/try but not set in stone that I must!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 2012 I aimed to...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;">Eat my 5 a day - I can't say that every day I got my full quota of fruit and veg, but across the week I think I did pretty well at getting my 35. I have become a big fan of a big pile of veg on my plate at dinner time</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;">Worry less/ more </span><span style="line-height: normal;">positive thinking - I have really struggled with this, despite really trying to be positive, I think it is all too easy to slip into that negative frame of mind!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;">Read at least 1 book a month - This I did, I read 15 books on my Kindle, re read 12 books on my bookshelf and read 5 new books. 2012 was definitely the year I got back into reading and I am looking forward to reading more in 2013.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;">Take a photography course and learn how to use my camera properly - Yeah this didn't happen, if anything I fell kind of out of love with my camera :( I love it in the Spring/Summer months when taking photographs outside, but during the darker months, taking indoor shots just isn't working for me! Probably one of the main reasons why outfit posts have become somewhat slim on my blog! If I wasn't saving for my wedding a new camera would be on the top of my list!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;">So, enough of looking back, what am I aiming for in 2013?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;">Save for my wedding - My wedding date seems to be hurling towards me crazily fast - less than 8 months to go! The Mr and I are determined that we do not want any wedding debt after our wedding day, so these next 8 months are going to all about saving up, cutting back and a lot of wedding DIYing (something you would be interested in seeing?)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;">Drinking more water - I suffer a lot from headaches and not drinking enough water is probably not helping, so I am aiming for 3 pints of water a day!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;">Be more organised - I am one of these people that is forever putting off doing things, then leaving myself with a ton of things to do all in one go, making me more than a little stressed! So organisation is required, managing my time better and keeping on top of things!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; line-height: 17px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; text-align: center;">
Cooking more adventurously - I am an avid cookbook/cookery magazine purchaser, but they don't get used anywhere near as much as they should. So I want to try and cook one new recipe that I have never tried before and hopefully find some new favourites.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: Cousine; text-align: center;">
Have you set yourself any aims for 2013? </div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>

Long time no speak!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only explanation I have for my absence is that 24 hours is not enough hours in a day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past few months I have been up to a fair bit, which I thought I would share with you, to catch you all up and start the new year a fresh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly back in November I attended a charity hair show put on by DKN Hair, with clothing and make up by students at Somerset College. It was an amazing night all in aid of raising money for the Exeter Stroke Unit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later in November I spent the weekend working at the Homebuilding and Renovation Show. By the end of it I couldn't feel my feet and had pretty much lost my voice but I loved getting to talk endlessly about kitchens and things to people who actually wanted to hear about it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weekend went really well and I am pretty proud of the fact that I did everything from booking the stand and designing our back unit to organising our show freebies(a flat pack egg box!) to designing the brochures. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then in December it was the Mr's work Xmas party, where we got to stay in a pretty nice room with a fabulous view that managed to even make Torbay look good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then came Christmas, 11 wonderful days off work filled with visiting lots of family and friends, eating far too much cheese and giving and receiving some amazing presents!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Over Christmas we managed to take Daisy on some really nice walks, now she is 8 months old she can handle a good long afternoon out, though she does then enjoy a nice long snooze on the sofa when we get home!</div>

After seeing the gorgeous <a href="http://www.pearlsandpoodles.com/2012/10/dancing-like-carousel-horses.html" target="_blank">Milly</a> from Pearls & Poodles wearing this cute pleather skater skirt I knew I needed it in my wardrobe! I managed to get my hands on it when I went on my birthday shopping trip and spent many hours in the massive Primark in Bristol. It makes my local one seem so small and badly stocked!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought it a size bigger as a have a little fear of short short skirts that have the ability to fly up and flash my underwear! So now it sits nicely somewhere between my waist and hips :) I did have my trusty nude tights on, but then Daisy decided that jumping up at me and snagging my tights was a great idea! She is well behaved most of the time, but has cost me 4 pairs of tights so far this week!</div>

The dress code at my work is well, pretty much non existent! Being the only female I don't tend to dress too smart for work, I would kind of look out of place against the polo shirt clad males!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tend to air on the side of smart casual most of the time, you can't generally go wrong with that! But every now and then it is nice to make a little bit more effort.</div>

I was recently sent this boucle <a href="http://www.very.co.uk/south-textured-biker-jacket/1110958203.prd?amendCommerceItemId=140168001942" target="_blank">biker jacket</a> from Very as a little thank you for working with them recently. I have a similar one from Primark and even being somewhat of a die hard Primark fan I can definitely see why this Very jacket costs a lot more! I t is definitely worth the money, it fits like a glove!</div>

Insert Predictable Autumn Related Title Here!<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello, remember me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am blaming my absence on being swept up in wedding fever, there was me thinking I could relax and just enjoy being engaged until at least after Christmas, but apparently if you want to get married in under a year you have to start sorting things NOW! But now that we have set our date, booked our venue and the registrar I am definitely slowing down on wedding things for a while!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week it was also my 24th birthday which I quietly celebrated with time off work, spending time with the Mr and my family, doing a little shopping, eating a lot of yummy food and blowing out candles on various cakes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst shopping in the massive Primark in Bristol I stocked up on a few bits for Autumn, you can't start the colder seasons without purchasing some new knitwear can you? Surely it is some kind of law?! </div>

If you follow me on Twitter I am sure you will probably already know my pretty exciting news, the Mr asked me to marry him after nearly 5 years of being together. I of course said yes and have already started planning our wedding for next year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a complete surprise, to be honest I would have put more money on winning the lottery than being proposed to! But he had planned it perfectly and I have been walking around with the biggest smile on my face ever since, I can't wait to be a Mrs :)</div>

The only dampener on our perfect weekend was our poor little pup getting stung by something and having an allergic reaction, resulting in a very expensive trip to the emergency vets on Sunday evening :( She was a million times better after the vet saw her though so it was well worth it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a few engagement drinks with our friends this weekend, one of our friends gave us a bottle of homemade cider champagne, yum!</div>

Evening :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Sunday I spent a lovely day with my Mum and Sister, filled with a farm shop breakfast, a spot of shopping, swimming in the wave pool, a trip on a big wheel and a yummy carvery dinner! A busy but fun day :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wheel was a little bit bigger than I anticipated, especially as I am not a big fan of heights, but I was fine as long as everyone kept pretty still! There were some pretty great views of Torbay to be seen too!</div>

Boux Avenue - Bristol Cabot Circus Opening<div style="text-align: center;">
I was lucky enough to be invited to the opening of the latest <a href="http://www.bouxavenue.com/" target="_blank">Boux Avenue</a> store in Cabot Circus in Bristol earlier on this week, an invite I couldn't really turn down. It meant a lovely day off work, meeting some gorgeous blogging ladies and viewing more pretty underwear than I could possibly justify purchasing!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs39VPucnRA7vMWpGc3sYmMN4ojgqgTL6QWZRAMwS2hHPeakjPPsZ0erc9tS7kpRpnv_458ROYaEB2qkv70txJzpgQA_l-N3GTs43mjVhzetqKcI_VLth8OFnaQKZaxc_XsKiO2Yx1nQc/s1600/DSCF8567a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs39VPucnRA7vMWpGc3sYmMN4ojgqgTL6QWZRAMwS2hHPeakjPPsZ0erc9tS7kpRpnv_458ROYaEB2qkv70txJzpgQA_l-N3GTs43mjVhzetqKcI_VLth8OFnaQKZaxc_XsKiO2Yx1nQc/s800/DSCF8567a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the sleek boudoir feel of the store, especially the small tablet screens dotted around showing what the underwear looks like on a beautiful moving model. If only my own bum looked so good in a pair of pretty knickers!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggeEnM1AnvGlmdBq4sMMe-xCi8Cmmm-EqD6B5nnti_7HXziMMXNNzS4AHihimdlGYbgAWJ7PSPVSE0bIayFBGyQ3Al61h4HHfF06sGyY4Qmq-BONB47Fwrv9zLm2RVL_kdTbTaJ-IfxVA/s1600/DSCF8545a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggeEnM1AnvGlmdBq4sMMe-xCi8Cmmm-EqD6B5nnti_7HXziMMXNNzS4AHihimdlGYbgAWJ7PSPVSE0bIayFBGyQ3Al61h4HHfF06sGyY4Qmq-BONB47Fwrv9zLm2RVL_kdTbTaJ-IfxVA/s800/DSCF8545a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm also completely sold on their way of displaying underwear, so much so that I can't imagine ever wanting to rifle through over stuffed rails of bras again! The beautiful counter top displays are accompanied by pull out drawers beneath, each neatly labelled with a different size. No having to look through what seems like hundreds of bras to only find they don't have your size anyway! With them stocking everything from a 30A to a 40H I'm pretty sure there will be something for everyone!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1oDZJCdVKo6Aip5IaI9VrQzh_sw5_cCuSQee0ft4iCOqgL01wtjkmyxtoieh2LdrkS3NXYhppDqmGnvh_-cG04oA9Td-snL0gcaNHAGx_9oojrkO6eVW7rwTAVDj0o4OjHcP4S08qh9E/s1600/DSCF8542a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1oDZJCdVKo6Aip5IaI9VrQzh_sw5_cCuSQee0ft4iCOqgL01wtjkmyxtoieh2LdrkS3NXYhppDqmGnvh_-cG04oA9Td-snL0gcaNHAGx_9oojrkO6eVW7rwTAVDj0o4OjHcP4S08qh9E/s800/DSCF8542a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was impressed by the range they stock, everything from simple basics and girly bralets to lacey numbers and super soft pyjamas. They have also branched into lovely scented products including candles, hand creams and yummy body butters.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dressing rooms are pretty much how I need my house to look! Plush carpets, panelled walls, a variety of mood lighting and a discrete intercom concierge service, so no sticking your head out the door asking for a bigger size!</div>

I recently asked if you would all like a puppy updated and some of you said yes, so I thought I would let you all know how she is doing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is now nearly 16 weeks old and has been home with use for nearly 8 weeks. During that time she has more than doubled in weight and increased even more in overall size! She has learnt so much and is now completely toilet trained and knows a wide variety of commands including sit, stay, lie down, paw, roll over, come and leave it. She has also just about mastered going up and down the stairs. It has actually surprised me how quickly she has learnt things! She can now go out for walks and has discovered a love of the beach, especially swimming in the sea and digging in the sand, she isn't so fond of having to have a bath afterwards though! She also loves playing with ice cubes, eating cold carrots and sleeping on the sofa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on with the cute photos, I can't believe how much she has grown!</div>

These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things!<div style="text-align: center;">
Evening :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you all had a lovely weekend and made the most of the sunshine if you got any! I spent mine relaxing on the beach with friends, having an evening BBQ then camping over in our camper van literally 25 meters from the sea. It was also Daisy's first time at a sandy beach :) I will do a little puppy update soon if anyone is interested? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today has inevitably resulted in us being very tired so lots of lounging on the sofa eating bacon sandwiches, watching YouTube and cuddling up with the dog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would share with you all an outfit that I wore last weekend for a meal out with the Mr's family. As the posts title suggests this outfit is made up of pretty much all my favourite things in my wardrobe at the moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as I saw this jacket in the <a href="http://lady-bug-says.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/lady-bug-says-primark-aw12.html" target="_blank">Primark AW12 preview</a> I knew I wanted it, I wanted it so much that I actually sent an email to my sister and a few friends saying that if they saw the jacket in store to please please please buy it for me! The pleather detail trousers were actually a suprising summer sale find in Next along with the marl jumper, to me they seem pretty perfect for the upcoming season! The necklace was a holiday purchase that I am pretty pleased with, can't say I have seen anyone else wearing it and don't think I will! It brings a little originality to my otherwise very high street outfit. A favourite things outfit wouldn't be complete without these flatforms, so worn to death I recently bought a back up pair, though I was a little disappointed that the new pair have squared off toes rather than round, but still as comfortable as the originals!</div>

I said in <a href="http://lady-bug-says.blogspot.co.uk/search?updated-max=2012-08-05T10:00:00%2B01:00&max-results=7" target="_blank">this post</a> that I loved this top, but wasn't sure of how else to wear it, but I think I may have found another way!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm liking the top half of this outfit, but not so convinced about the bottom! Thinking the skirt makes me a look a little bit too bottom heavy and the sandals are kind of not doing a lot for my cankles! My ankles have been really sore and swollen since I started running, think I need to invest in some better trainers!</div>

Another sunny weekend outfit, I am really hoping that there are a few more of these before Autumn arrives!<br />
<br />
I am pretty much all aboard the trend wagon with this outfit, but I like it :)<br />
Cuff style necklace - check<br />
Ombre jumper - check<br />
Utility trend shorts - check<br />
Flatform sandals - oh yes, check!<br />
<br />
The unhappy squinty face is all off trend and completely my own, the downside of the very bright sun!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a;">I am sure every woman, at one point in her life has asked or at the very least thought, 'does my bum look big in this?'! I know I personally have on many an occasion, and know the answer is usually yes (my Mum says I have child bearing hips and a bum to match!). My waist and hips are a little out of proportion, but certainly not verging on Kardashian standards! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; line-height: 17px;"></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal;">I can't say I have ever asked the Mr the question though, as his answer would be 'of course not' regardless of what I was wearing. I don't think this is out of fear of what my response would be, he knows that I quite like my pear shape, but more because he isn't really bothered if my bum looks big or not!</span></div>

If you had asked me a few years ago if yellow featured a lot in my wardrobe, I would of answered with a big resounding no! For years I was convinced that my slightly yellow/olive toned skin would not be complemented by anything vaguely yellow! But in the last year or so I seem to have had a major change of heart, now favouring the brightest of yellows!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw this bright beauty in my favoured sale section of Primark and thought it was really about time I owned a yellow chiffon midi dress. Seeing as I have worn it about 4 times since buying it a few weeks ago I made the right choice!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This neon pink necklace was also snapped up from the sale, I am sure you all know by now that I do love a good statement necklace. I have bought another pair of these flatform shoes, these are on the verge of being ruined, thanks to me wearing them nearly every day to work. They are the most comfortable heels in the world!</div>

This is pretty much a more work appropriate version of<a href="http://lady-bug-says.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/lady-bug-says-who-wears-short-shorts.html" target="_blank"> this weekend outfit</a>, I don't think the short shorts would have gone down well at work! This jumper is already earning its place a new favourite 'go to' item in my wardrobe!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up this necklace a few weeks ago in Primark, the jewellery section seems to be going from strength the strength in the last few years! I love a good statement necklace for adding some interest to an otherwise simple outfit.</div>

My nails are painted in my current favourite polish, Barry M NP140, which dries with an interesting semi matte finish. I finished the tips off with 2 coats of LOOK Beauty's sequin effect polish.</div>

We are going a little beauty this week, partly because the day I had set aside for outfit photos it rained solidly for 8 hours so that didn't happen, but also because I do love make up and beauty products and I don't really talk about it a whole lot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been signed up to <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glossybox</a> for around 9 months now but haven't posted about them until now as I think the Glossybox review market is pretty well covered! But I wanted to share the products that have been my absolute favourites that I have received, loved using a would either consider or have repurchased.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDi8ZXMGwOmF1VPFpDxAA5w5FqSh0NwKL5zyWDYPDSxoKScO36LH4esqR88Viakm0225ZfbF2iOra1llikovU1KxppACxg_GejnDj0dVC10DeOq3EBqfyfJAguAy4UXxUxG6d1jEC3P1U/s1600/DSCF8389a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDi8ZXMGwOmF1VPFpDxAA5w5FqSh0NwKL5zyWDYPDSxoKScO36LH4esqR88Viakm0225ZfbF2iOra1llikovU1KxppACxg_GejnDj0dVC10DeOq3EBqfyfJAguAy4UXxUxG6d1jEC3P1U/s800/DSCF8389a.jpg" width="496" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/monu-skin-perfector" target="_blank">Monu Skin Perfector - November 2011 - £16.25</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this is most probably meant for slightly maturer skin, but I still really like using it. I have been using it under my make up as a moisturiser/primer and it makes my skin a lot smoother and even. I'm not to sure if I would repurchase it as it is on the pricier side, all depends if something the works as well that is a bit cheaper makes its way onto my radar!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/deborah-lippmann-razzle-dazzle" target="_blank">Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle Mini Polish - December 2011 - £16</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Super sparkly nail polish in a brilliant dark fuscia pink, what is not to like, well apart from the time it takes to remove! Luckily it wears fairly well so you get a good 4-5 days before you need to take it off and replace. They are again fairly pricey, but I will definitely will be adding some more of these to my next birthday wish list!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/ritual-shower-gel" target="_blank">Rituals Yogi Flow Foaming Shower Gel - December 2011 - £6.50</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This smells AMAZING! Before using this I would never of even thought about spending £6.50 on a shower gel but this changed my mind, I repurchased this before my first one had even run out. It smells good, lathers up really well and leaves your skin super soft.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/caudalie-vinosource-sos-thirst-quenching-serum" target="_blank">Caudalie Vinosoure SOS Thirst Quenching Serum - April 2012 - £29</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a little wonder product, I use it a lot on the dry patches on my face and it helped clear them up pretty quickly. I tried to repurchase this whilst I was in France but couldn't find it, but think I will definitely be hunting it down online!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/ayuuri-natural-body-wash" target="_blank">Ayuuri Coconut Natural Body Wash - April 2012 - £4.95</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly wasn't expecting to like this as I am not a fan of coconut, but combined with jasmine it actually has a pretty great scent, it reminds me of summer in a bottle. It is all you could want in a shower gel and you get a good amount of product for your money. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/figs-and-rouge-lip-balm" target="_blank">Figs and Rouge Rambling Rose Balm - April 2012 - £3.29</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as I saw this I loved the cute vintage style packaging and the balm inside is pretty good too! I have been putting this on my lips before I go to sleep and it has been doing wonders for my lips whilst I have been getting my 40 winks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/hd-brows-precision-tweezers" target="_blank">HD Brows Precision Tweezers - June 2012 - £19.95</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are hands down the best tweezers I have ever used and I am so glad to have got them in my box as they aren't something I would have gone out and purchased otherwise. They make me realise how blunt the tweezers I was previously using really were!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/caudalie-eaux-fraiches" target="_blank">Caudalie Eaux Fraiches The Des Vignes - June 2012 - £26</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a really pretty scent and a great size for travelling or on a night out. The only downside is that tube is made of pretty thin glass and I would be slightly concerned about it smashing in my bag! Considering you only pay £12.95 for the beauty box receiving this full sized perfume is pretty good value for money!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/hd-brows-eye-and-brow-palette" target="_blank">HD Brows Eye and Brow Palette - July 2012 - £19.95</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really happy to get this in my box, especially after seeing loads of people getting it in a box last year and raving about it! The only thing I am disappointed about is despite filing in the beauty profile on the Glossybox site and stating that I am a brunette I received this palette in 'Bombshell' which has 3 light shades meant for blonde's and 1 darker shade which just about matches my brows. I would have loved this if it had been in the correct shade, but I am hoping I can make use of it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/jelly-pong-pong-lip-frosting" target="_blank">Jelly Pong Pong Irish Cream Pavlova Lip Frosting - July 2012 - £10.00</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I already had a few of these Jelly Pong Pong Lip Frosting's so knew I would like this, it is a pretty pink colour with a lovely sweet scent. I love Jelly Pong Pong cosmetics and their cute quirky packaging :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I find Glossybox can be a bit hit and miss, some months I find most of the items are nice but not necessarily for me, whereas others I love the majority of the box, but I guess it is all down to personal taste.<br />
<br />
Are you signed up to a beauty box subscription service? What is your all time favourite product that you have received?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I have not been asked or paid by Glossybox to write this review, I just wanted to give my thoughts on the products that I have received and liked!</span></div>

Evening lovelies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After seeing all the patriotic nail art being sported at the Olympics, I thought I would create my own. A little bit of red, white and blue & bronze, silver and gold :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmBFcn6auYAp37ys-cy5nzZ4AcHfYX-tK0EzbpRfSRyxJ5tqLd1QjKRC7Abf0XaurspYvzQeQeJYg6pXtlOFQxkaqINeWaMUuB8huGKGzGKSTOHApnmw1Cqiz7P1AWJs6uPOB73P84uBo/s1600/DSCF8380a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmBFcn6auYAp37ys-cy5nzZ4AcHfYX-tK0EzbpRfSRyxJ5tqLd1QjKRC7Abf0XaurspYvzQeQeJYg6pXtlOFQxkaqINeWaMUuB8huGKGzGKSTOHApnmw1Cqiz7P1AWJs6uPOB73P84uBo/s800/DSCF8380a.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have become a little obsessed with graduated dots and thought the Olympic colours would work well. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-vSHZ06_ZUZM11FTAOybauJTjASWzMuF4RpBpLBDPaVsJkcNnzA8ikc_5RL_yBh-j1awsnCgBpfnwCE4D_2gl7oEN1d5dfh64tSTVGh0WDC7zFP-grTEHcj7F77R5oYWZIhP_rRciOlo/s1600/DSCF8373a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-vSHZ06_ZUZM11FTAOybauJTjASWzMuF4RpBpLBDPaVsJkcNnzA8ikc_5RL_yBh-j1awsnCgBpfnwCE4D_2gl7oEN1d5dfh64tSTVGh0WDC7zFP-grTEHcj7F77R5oYWZIhP_rRciOlo/s800/DSCF8373a.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create this I used the following:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eyeko Petit Polish for the base colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nails Inc 'Victoria & Albert', ELF 'White' and MUA 'Shade 9' on my middle fingers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All About Face 'Fudge', Models Own 'Juicy Jules' and Models Own 'Champagne' on my thumbs and little fingers. I used filed down cocktail sticks to create the dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished off the tips on the remaining fingers with Juciy Jules, damn that polish is sparkly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cotton wool pad, cotton buds and nail polish remover came in handy for cleaning up inevitable messes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Evening lovelies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, possibly stating the obvious but these photos were taken last week, when the sun was shining and it was safe to get my legs out without them being covered in goosebumps and rain! It was also last week when I purchased these shorts from the sale in Tesco, convincing myself that I did indeed need a pair of floral print shorts to add to my collection! Whilst we are on the subject of new things, this jumper also happens to be a new addition to my wardrobe, courtesy of the Next sale. I didn't think I had really 'done' the sales but apparently I have!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The floral shorts were the last pair in my size, so of course I grabbed them! Their £4 price tag was also pretty much all the justification I needed to make them mine! Strangely though there were loads of these grey marl jumpers with metallic detailing hanging on the racks in the Next sale, why nobody was buying them I don't know, they are gorgeous!</div>

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter (@Ladybugsays) you may seen me mention purchasing this necklace whilst away on holiday. It was from a little jewellery shop in my favourite town, and despite the security at the airport being slightly wary of the metal spiky thing in my luggage, it is a firm favourite of mine! It is so damn heavy too!</div>

I have had this shirt for a month or so, and have worn it a lot, but for some reason have never got around to photographing it! I managed to pick it up in the Dorothy Perkins sale and love the shirt collar, the dipped hem and of course the pretty print :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been pairing it a lot with simple leggings and heels, any other ideas how to style it?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Evening lovelies!</div>

I was recently contacted asking if I would like to try the new <a href="http://www.dominos.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mexicano pizzas</a> from Domino's Pizza. Now let me tell you I love food, be it cooking it, eating it or buying it, so I happily took them up on their offer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I invited a few friends over and we ordered the Chicken Mexicano pizza, plus a few extras including mozzarella sticks and gourmet garlic bread, yum!</div>

Now I am not a big spicy food lover but this was delicious, whoever thought of putting sour cream on pizza deserves be up there with the person who thought of putting a hash brown in a burger! The pizza had plenty of toppings, loads of cheese and the all important garlic herb dip for the crusts :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will definitely be making sure I get to eat this again before it disappears from their menu (it's a limited edition guest pizza so I don't think it will be around for long)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Disclaimer - I was provided the pizza and extra items to review. I was not paid for my review other than receiving items free of charge. All views are my own, I really do love pizza!</span></div>
