Eff, Marry, Kill

Happy Thursday! 
just one more day before the weekend!!!

Today i am taking part in an awesome link up from
Heather aka Blonde...Undercover Blonde  and Michelle aka The Vintage Apple

EFF, MARRY, KILL


my candidates are ....

Paul Rudd, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill


This is a pretty tough one for me to be honest because if i had my way i would take both Paul Rudd and Jason Segel away to an island that would let me marry them both! I'm sure they would enjoy being brother husbands!

But thats not the aim of the game so my pick is...

Eff  Paul Rudd...look at that picture above and tell me you don't want him in your bed!!

Marry Jason Segel again look at that picture, his cute little face says it all! plus he has all the components of my dream man, tall, funny sexy and cute! luckily my real life boyfriend fits that description too ;)

Kill  Jonah Hill, hands down! he just drives me insane, i really do not think he is funny!

so there it is!

who would you EFF, MARRY and KILL??

link up so i can see!!

Today is a super special day!

Guys today is a super special day my little itty bitty baby sister Alice

 turns 18 Today! 

officially a grown up!

apart from the fact that it makes me feel a bit old, i am so proud of her and all that she does.

Because let me tell you my sister is talented! not only does she have a super cute blog 

BLOG

But she also makes her own jewelry and is starting her own store!

STORE

She is an amazing artist

She is a wonderful photographer

She makes AWHSOME cakes

Designed my tattoo

Just after it was done! hence scabbyness

She is also incredibly intelligent and will most likely end up at Oxford or Cambridge studying something ridiculously complicated like paeleoanthropology (i can't even spell it!!)

and is just an all round AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL TALENTED bisnitch!!!

Also when she was younger she posed like a BOSS

and i hid behind her!

We don't have as many pictures together as we should so here is the best i found!

Yes neither of us are looking because we epicly suck at having photos taken of us! and Yes i am drinking in a park, it's not trampy if it is in summer and YES this was obviously taken in the future when my sister is allowed to drink ;)

Hope you enjoyed all the embarrassing LOVE alice! 

Wish i could be with you on your BIG day!

Fun with our phones Monday

I have had a little trouble getting ideas finalised for posts at the moment so i thought i would try a new link up to see if  it helps spark some ideas.

So i chose  the Fun with our phones Monday link up from Savanah at Savanah Smiles.

Lots of Foggy mornings these days!

Winter is definitely coming!

Tall Candles in Mason Jars light up our front doorstep perfectly with the dark settling in early.

We took the kids to Bergen Aquarium and i made friends with the cutest little penguin, who kept snapping at the kids boots!

A sneek peak at some of the things i am working on for my ETSY store

and another you lucky lucky things ;)

It was a FUN week! how was yours?

Taking baby steps to get back on track

I haven't blogged about my weightloss efforts for a while, to be fair i haven't blogged about much for a while, but that is not the point.

After losing a whole STONE thats 14lbs in a matter of weeks, i went away for a glorious holiday in Morocco and ate a lot of Junk food, instead of getting back on track when i got home i continued eating badly.

 I am not sure if it was because i was out of the habit, or because the days started getting darker and i started craving crabs or if it was because i was having a shitty time at work and frankly couldn't care less about anything let alone eating healthy. Whatever it was it set me back this morning the scale read 184 and let me tell you i was not happy at all! 

My goal for Christmas seems so far away

BUT

I cannot give up! ¨

I just can't so i have decided to take some baby steps to get me back into the old habits.

 i have resisted the junk food this morning and i am getting myself ready for a long day of cleaning the apartment before a nice long walk as the sun sets.

I have also decided to try this challenge i saw on pinterest.

It looks like it could be fun to try and not too hard, i have already done day one! 

I am also going to use the hand weights i bought recently to get some toning in, because my jiggles are getting jiggles!
top that with some healthy eating and more important meal planning all beautifully planned in my even more beautiful Erin Condren planner!

So ladies what are your techniques to lose some of the jiggles before Christmas??
