Hair cut

I don't know about you, but having my hair cut is a relatively big deal, anything more than a trim anyway!

I have been dying my hair for as long as I can remember and I get bored with the colour very easily as you can see below. The cut however... I'm definitely more of a 'keep the length I just need a trim' kinda girl.

 

I took the plunge yesterday and had my hair cut properly to get rid of all the horrible, straggly, damaged ends and... I love it!

I definitely didn't expect to, and I still want my hair long, but it looks so much healthier than it has in a long, long time..

One of my best friends is getting married next weekend and I'm a bridesmaid so wanted to make sure that my hair was as decent as it could be for the photos.

Mission accomplished!

Does anyone else have the dread of getting more than a trim? Or just me?!

Much Love,

Booband Miracles!

Now... As a larger breasted lady, I need all the help I can get when it comes to keeping them in the right place. Whether that's day to day or at the gym!

My friend had seen an advert on Instagram for this and mentioned it to me, knowing I had started Personal Training sessions.

I was rather sceptical to start with as for all intents and purposes its an elasticated band with a bit of Velcro on it... how was that going to keep my bad boys at bay?!

After a month or so with my PT and doing more cardio than I have in my life, I realised that my combo of a bra and a sports crop top/bra was NOT working for me.
I've had at least two bras give up on me completely and attack my armpits with their underwire... genuinely one of the most painful things in the world, especially when you continue to do star jumps after this!

So I finally caved, and spent the £20 on the fore mentioned Velcro elasticated doo dah...

The Booband team were lovely and also sent me through a popband hair tie which is awesome. No metal and thick elastic which is great for thick hair.

They also have various deals and bundles for different coloured bands, but I didn't want to spend loads to find it didn't work for me.
I decided to go for the Large size, as like I said, I have some beasty bad boys, but have since been measured and have gone down 3/4 cup sizes... so I think I actually need a medium now!

I personally feel like this works better for me over my clothes, but that may be because of the size correction I need to make. I tried it originally over my sports top and under my baggy (hide everything because I don't want to scare anybody) t-shirt. This worked but not as well as I'd expected, so I took it off as it was annoying me. Then it came to shuttle runs, and I knew I needed to try and see if it would work... it did! WOOHOO! I shoved it on over my t-shirt and it was a dream! Don't get me wrong- I'm still running, so clearly there will be some movement... but I'm so impressed with it. It means I'm not as self conscious running and now can focus on my PT rather than concerned I'm going to knock someone out with my boobs.

Massive thank you to Booband for this simple yet effective invention of yours! I will be purchasing some more soon!

Much love,

Carluccio's Date Night.

Hey guys!

A couple of months ago, at my second job, we had a charity raffle one evening and Jack managed to win us a Meal for two at Carluccio's.

Having moved in together in February, date nights are so important to us as I'm sure you all know. It gives us the time together outside of day to day life at home.

So we got all dressed up and headed out. Luckily Carluccio's is only in the town centre so not too hard to get to.

We thought we would pop and have a drink at the sister pub of where we won the voucher as it is down the road from the restaurant and we could do some people watching as it is also opposite the station. (One of my favourite past times.) It was so nice to relax and have some time together before heading to the restaurant.

Now, Although we had the voucher, we weren't 100% sure what it entitled us to and were very pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a three course meal and a bottle of wine!

We started off with Jack ordering a beer and I had a Bellini as I love them.

I forgot to take pictures of our starters, I had cheesy garlic bread which was on ciabatta bread and tasted amazing, so I saved some to go with my main, and Jack had calamari.

For Mains, I had Spinach and Ricotta ravioli in butter which is my all time favourite from there, although I hadn't been in years, and my goodness it was as incredible as I had remembered. Jack was brave and tried a seafood spaghetti dish, he's not the biggest fan of much seafood but is starting to try more as he knows I love it. Very proud!

Finally for desert, Jack had the cheese board which he loved, although I wasn't a fan of the garlic honey... and I had a salted caramel ice cream sundae and regretted it. I don't usually go for sundaes for desert so I'm not sure why I did, it was nice but I just couldn't eat it all!

We had such a nice night over all and the staff at Carluccio's were brilliant, especially our waitress.
Thank you again to them all.

As Always,

Much Love,
