Sunday Funday – Casual Stripes

I hope you’re enjoying your Bank Holiday? Mine has been super busy so far, with even more going on today. Yesterday started with an ill-advised trip to the gym. Ill-advised because I have pulled a muscle in my thigh that I thought felt fine. Right up until the point I did a lunge and then

Retro Chick Cooks: The Eggy Cheese Sandwich

I don’t do recipes often on here. Not unless they’re for Cocktails anyway. In fact, this may well be only my second recipe post in over 8 years. During Glamorous July one of my challenges was to cook someone a favourite meal. So I cooked Mr Chick one of his long time favourites, eggy cheese

A Spicy Summer with Weight Watchers

Over the last year or so I have massively improved my diet. It’s been a really steep learning curve for me. One of the things I discovered is that eating well isn’t a one size fits all approach. It’s about finding foods and ways of eating that fit into your life and enable you to

The Lazy Girls Guide: The Only 5 Things You Need for Summer Glamour

I do love Summer. I might still spend large parts of my time whining about being too hot, mosquito bites (Srsly, I have some on my FEET right now and they are SO PAINFUL), tan lines and general sweatiness. But really, I love it. There’s something about being able to just throw on a sun
