Goodbye 2015 ... You Were Amazingly Bad , But With Some Of My Best Memories :)

The last day of 2015 is almost upon us .. everybody is excited the New Year 2016 is about to begin in 24 hrs . As we turn our thoughts to how well  we did in 2015 what we achieved and how good a year it was for us , most people I guess are sadly shaking their heads all in agreement that 2015 was a terrible year and we look forward to 2016 bringing more joy , luck and betterment !
There will come a day to set yourself free from your own sufferings . Today is a beautiful day for such things #HappyNewYear
That was a quote I read somewhere today . Sometimes I wonder if 2015 was bad , why could 2016 be any different ?  I also read somewhere today the ELNINO is causing this terrible climate change all over Europe and The Americas , which will  cause hunger and homelessness .  Yes the government needs to know about it , lol .The North of England has suffered terrible storms and severe flooding . A 300  year old bridge has even collapsed . People have suffered great losses . Lots have wound up homeless . Obviously nobody cares . Tragic and I fail to catch any New Year Cheer while suffering is catching up  thick and fast ! Like I did for Christmas I am not going out of my way to wish anyone for New Years . Let it come and pass I shall just thank the Lord I am still surviving :)
So as everyone gets on with New Years resolutions , this new year I have decided not to make any . Unfortunately some of my best moments of joy ,  fun and laughter in 2015 were spent with people and things who won't even be a part of  2016 ! But Cheers 2015 you were a bitch but I had some of my best moments ever and I look towards 2016 hopeful :)
A nice outfit inspiration for the last day of the year 2015 . Always remember get up , dress up and be there ! Nothing beats poverty than a nice outfit and some red lipstick ! Remember you once had some great clothes before you became poor ;) If you are off to party and bring in the New Year 2016 , do it with a red dress and a jeweled crystal hairband ! Sassy style , be the belle of the ball :) My Way !!

Love & Peace ... till 2016

Check Out London's Food Scene .. 3 Great Places To Eat !

London is a great place for a day out , a bit of sightseeing and of course it is continuously being built to accommodate new restaurants , businesses and attractions .
If you happen to be spending a weekend in London , or you live close by and want to find some great place to catch a bite of some delicious food look no further than my three great recommendations :)

M1lk , on 20 Bedford Hill , Balham .. It's an all- day Cafe which is off the beaten path as you get on the London food scene and so worth it ! Don't let the line out the door stop you .  The Aussie couple behind this spot don't take reservations and also happen to make the best breakfasts in town . In fact so popular is M1lk that they had to double in size this year . Their brunch menu is delightfully laden dishes like the Sweet Maria , a sweetcorn fritter and halloumi extravaganza or the equally popular Convict , an English muffin topped with sausage, bacon ,eggs and hash browns . The coffee is pretty excellent too .  Dinner might be on the horizon as well . They have started hosting a series of " Lates " at the restaurant and are inviting chefs from near and far to come play !

Gunpowder ,  11 White's Row , Spitalfields .. This fancied Indian seems to be the trend in London at the moment with more and more modernized gourmet offerings popping  up right , left and all over town . One of the standouts , is this new spot that's serving up home style Indian in a cleverly restored ex-curry house .  Here there are small plates made for sharing like the Chattinad Pulled Duck and the Spicy Venison and Vermicelli Doughnut , the creation of Chef Nimal Save of the Oberoi in Mumbai . Fun fact the name Gunpowder is a fun twist as it happens to be located right near London's old artillery and is also a reference to the old classic spice mix of the same name !

Casa Cruz , 123 Clarendon road , Holland Park . This is Argentian restaurateur Juan Santa Cruz's very first venture in London . This is a restaurant with a very clubby feel serving up European dishes with an Argentian bent --ie protein heavy dishes like beef carpacchio and a perfect blackened chicken . With it's dark clad velvet walls , a stunning copper bar as a central  feature in  the middle of the dinning room and decidedly dim lighting . This newly opened eatery has serious sex appeal and is a perfect venue to rent as a whole for a party . The upstairs which includes a secluded and leafy terrace ( for London's good weather ;) ) is also  available for rent !

Definitely a treat and a reason to go out and celebrate the New Year 2016 . Check out these beautiful food spots and bring in the New Year with a  bang . Good food and alcohol can make you forget any troubles ;)

Keep smiling , and have a great day !

Compliments of the Season !!
I hope Christmas and Boxing Day was everything you hoped for and it delivered for you :)
Not only Santa bringing you all your heart's desire's but peace and hopefulness for the coming year as well !

Okay so we have eaten and drunk more than was necessary these past few days ,  but if only we could survive now without eating it would be a miracle not only for our waistlines but the thought that I don't need to cook now for a week at least ! That is not and never going to be the case .  We still need to eat everyday :(

So You head off to the supermarket and the thought is what is it going to be today ? I make a habit of changing it around pork , chicken ,  fish , beef and then again the same but I break it up every ten days with egg on the menu and a vegetarian day .  It's always different and fun . Nobody complains in my house :)
When it's pork though I sometimes get some pork loin filets and think , what's going to be quick easy and delicious ? I have a super easy recipe which you all are going to love , with boring pork it 's fun and so tasty . So I'm sharing  !

Ingrediants

400 gms Pork loin filets  .. cut it up into inch size pieces about 1/2 an inch thick .
4 spring onions chopped into pieces
25 gms butter
2 tsps of oil
2 garlic cloves crushed
Salt & Pepper
175 ml double cream
50 gms water cress
1/2 tsp of dijon mustard

Get your frying pan on the heat add the butter and oil when it melts add the garlic and spring onions allow it to cook for 2 mins . Now add the pork pieces and season with salt & pepper cook it for 2 mins on each side then stir in the cream and bring it to a boil for about 3 to 4 mins .Add the water cress and Dijon mustard and allow it to bubble for 2 mins .add 2 to 3 tbs of water to it if the sauce is too thick . It's ready to serve .
Eat it with mashed potatoes and green vegetables peas or french beans is perfect !
Enjoy .. Bon Appetite

Have an awesome week and keep smiling !

Christmas Book Recommendation " For Christ's Sake "

It's almost Christmas Eve and that means the presents are packed , the cake is baked just the last minute food shopping to do . Okay that's if you are celebrating Christmas !!
The Christmas story is all about the birth of Jesus but there has never been any serious suggestion that he was born on the 25 th of December or can we be sure about the year that he was born . Besides that ,nobody will dispute the fact though that such a person lived or that his life was very important .

I shall spend the Christmas holidays reading this new book " For Christ's Sake " by Glen Whittaker who has been exploring what Jesus may have been like as a person , rather than as a religious figure . It makes fascinating reading and has come highly recommended to me .

So now with the December Solistic over , the ancient festival of Yule ( or Saturnalia ) is dedicated to the remembrance of the maverick Middle Eastern preacher called Yeshua , who was the son of God . We are not sure when he was born , but the Romans disliked his horoscope so much , they tried to hunt him down and kill him . They got their wish thirty-three years later . After a few more centuries they translated his name into Latin , adapted his teachings and invented Christmas to celebrate his birth . Keep the Christ in Christmas . The Happy Holidays is more for atheists but God loves all !

So Cheers to Christmas , keep it holy and remember The Lord gives to he who is humble and opens his home and his heart , to even those who we classify as unforgiving . Love your fellow humans and look forward to a glorious year .
Much love and best wishes from MY home to Yours !

Happy Christmas

Love & Peace xx

Festive attire , when Christmas is close parties are on everybody's mind . Offices are throwing parties for the staff , friends and relatives are planing get-together's and celebrations . So party clothes inspiration is high on the list .

Don't  be put off choosing a black outfit . It's very slimming , and doesn't show any spills if you're enjoying yourself so much you happen to spill a drink or two , oops ;)
To make sure it's festive add sparkly accessories and remember the bright red lipstick it's makes lips look fuller and red is the holiday look !

Always go for a shoe with a nice heel , it gives the appearance of a nice slender leg and can make you appear taller . Sneakers and boring flats leave that for morning hikes or shopping .

I read a little quote today , that I would like to share with you .

 “Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.” 
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Do what you can to help someone . Donating to a charity is not the answer . I know a person who is stuck here in England  , his passport has expired , almost two years and  he has no money for a new one to go back to his country and nobody wants to help . Unfortunately I have no money to help :(

I suppose in England they would rather have people sleeping rough ,  being homeless , than helping them go back to their Country ! 

Well Happy Christmas if you are having a good one :)

Weekend Style :)

The weekend , a fun time to relax and unwind but sometimes , there are so many things going on that's a tough job to accomplish ! Nevertheless life is tough but we , still have to face things head on ! The best solution is , always  " Get Up , Dress Up and Do What You Need Too "
One way to forget all of life's trials is , get a cup of coffee and watch a movie . My movie night today , caught me watching an old thriller . It's definitely one of my favourite movies . I would say one of the  top five movies , I love of all time . "Shutter Island " with Leonardo Di Caprio its a deep movie , set in a psychiatric hospital . If you haven't seen it , make the effort . People here in England are not getting enough support for mental health problems . There still seems to be a stigma attached to people with mental health issues , it's just something I hear about on the news alot ! With today's problems in the world , everyone dealing with sudden circumstances being changed , I will not be surprised if half the population ends up with psychiatric problems and unable to work or function ! Give support to anyone who is brave enough to ask , be a friend , there are not so many left in this world ! If you can't find One  , Be ONE !
But enough sad stuff , a nice weekend outfit to brighten up anyone's day . Put a smile on your face and hope for the best :) MY MOTTO !
Hope you like my choice of clothes , as much as I do . Listed below are the online shops where you could purchase these articles .

1. Superstretch trousers / 15 pounds / Hm.com
2. Apricot Batwing Sleeve pullover / 20 dollars / Romwe.com

Tasty Snack : Pineapple Skewers With Mint Sugar !

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night  wherever you are in your day , I hope you're smiling .. kind of hard , but keep trying .
When your kids get back from school aren't they always hungry ? I know most young ones immediately ask for a bag of crisps , cookies and other unsuitable snacks . Yes it's easy to pass them the crisps ( chips ) but it's unhealthy unless , like me you only eat them twice a month :) Why do I even bother to be healthy and eat well and exercise .. I certainly don't want too !! However I have always eaten healthy , all my life so I unfortunately can't change my habits . The new sugar tax which Jamie Oliver is pressing for ,  is almost about to be passed , this is not going to make alot of difference in the obesity in this country . People who love sugary drinks and food will just continue to buy it for the 5p / 10p more . Well unless they plan to double the prices of these drinks it's not going to make much of an impact . Which again is unfair on people , who know that a fizzy drink now and again is not a sin . What about the people who use it just to mix alcoholic beverages ? Make everyone suffer , seems to be the order of the place  . Well sugar in small doses is never a crime . Enjoy this snack of Pineapple with mint sugar . It's not only for kids , make some for yourself and enjoy !  
So here's the idea for  a quick snack . The kids will love it , when they get home from school . It's cheap quick and easy and  I promise the fruit , it's sweet and so delicious , an added bonus it's healthy to boot !

Pineapple skewers with mint sugar .

You could make the mint sugar on a free day and store it in a jar away in the cupboards for anytime you need to use it .
Ingredients

A can of tinned pineapple
A couple of mint leaves about 20 to a kilo of sugar you can bottle it and use later .
Sugar
Some whipped cream
Half a tsp of cinnamon

Get your can of pineapples opened . Cut it into wedges and thread it on to a skewer .
Make the mint sugar by blending the sugar and the mint leaves in a food processor until well blended and is a lovely green colour .
Into the whipped cream add the cinnamon powder and put in a small bowl to serve at the side of the skewers .
Get the pineapple skewers sprinkle a little bit of sugar and let it grill in the oven for a couple of minutes . Add some more sugar and serve with the cinnamon cream .
The kids will love it !

Have an awesome day and keep smiling ...

Outfit Inspiration ... Denim Dress !

The days keep flying by , and Christmas is not very far away ... So the high street is busy with people rushing about shopping for gifts , clothes and decorations . Yet all over the regional news , Debt , is  all we hear about ! The amount of debt people go into over Christmas . So in other words , not everyone can afford Christmas , but then for me it never was about fancy clothes , parties or gifts . Being modest is always the way forward . It definitely teaches your children not to expect or demand , and I have the best kids ever . Nobody is asking what's Santa going to bring me ? I feel blessed they don't . Christmas is not a time to expect . Christmas is about kindness , friends , family ,love , generosity and a nice meal together .  I still believe there is more goodness in the hearts , of strangers , long lost friends and acquaintances than there is in family , who should be the first to stand by ! This Christmas be the kind person you all want to be , and the blessings will be plenty ! I just saw a lovely post on FB ..It said " Christmas a story about a Middle East Family Seeking Refuge " Yes Jesus is Catholic , but aren't we all children of God , no matter what Religion ?

On to other things , what's  in a name ? I say that , because Kim K , has just been blessed with a baby boy and the internet was going viral with her choice of name ,for her son ! So he's called Saint ! She's def. feeling religious .  North was bad not a good choice ,  Saint is a bit weird at first but I quite warmed to it , after a while . After all , nobody turns a lash at Madonna .. and it's my little girl's middle name . I love the Virgin Mary and I gave it to my daughter . I have a feeling Saint is going to become a  popular baby name in the months to come , and you heard it here first ;)
Now for an outfit inspiration , if you are searching for something to wear , or if you are going down to the shops and need a new item . Denim is always so trendy . Aside from being smart and casual at the same time , it lasts long  , washes well . When it fades a bit , it looks even cooler ! I love Denim . Hope you love my outfit choice !

The mustard coat is bang on trend this winter . High boots keep your legs warm and take your outfit from casual to Chic ! A nice grey hat to keep your head cosy against the cold winds .
All the items and where they are available from are listed below .

1. Long Sleeve Button Down Denim Dress / 31 dollars / Le3no.com
2. Collar open front cardigan / 33 dollars / OASAP.com
3. Khaki Heel over the knee boots / 59 AUD / Yoins.com

5. Backpack / 25 pounds / hm.com

Delicious Cocktail " Amaretto - Cranberry Kiss " Cheers !

Good morning/afternoon/evening night wherever you are in your day , hope you're smiling !!
Nothing says Christmas like a mouth-watering cocktail .. Make the holiday special , if you are having friends over , a pre-dinner cocktail , says your the hostess with the mostess like nothing else does !
So I wanted to share with you a delicious cocktail which I recently discovered ( it has my favourite drinks in it !! ) It certainly has a feeling of Christmas when you sip it .. Well it's a superficial feeling lol .. the true feeling of Christmas has to come from the heart !

The Cocktail is called  "Amaretto-Cranberry Kiss "

The tang of the cranberry juice is balanced by the smoothness of the amaretto and vodka .
This recipe serves eight people .

Ingredients

2 cups cranberry juice
1 cup vodka
1/2 cup amaretto
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
Ice cubes
Clementines peeled separated into segments

Mix cranberry juice, vodka , amaretto and orange juice in a pitcher . Cover and chill until ready to serve .Make it ahead . It can be prepared 1 day in advance but keep it refrigerated .
To make two drinks fill cocktail shaker with ice cubes .Pour in a scant one cup of the vodka mixture made . Cover and shake vigorously . Strain into two Martini glasses . Garnish each with a clementine segment .  Repeat 3 times with ice cubes , vodka mixture and clementine segments . Your Cocktails are ready . Cheers !

Christmas Spirit With A Festive Jumper :)

Happy Sunday !!

Christmas is not so far away and there is a sense of festive in the air , but all I hear from alot of people is oh " I'm skint " , what a sad state ! Does anybody think about normal people during the Christmas period ? Well besides all the love and greetings which is free and offered readily , people should do physically more for others . Not that some people even know the hardships of their close friends . Not everyone wants to make out poverty street is where they live ,and feel like they are imposing on their friends , so it's often better to be silent and let the holidays go by without big pop and fanfare ! After all it is the Lord's birthday and the Lord must be awfully disappointed in the way people are ruining the beautiful world we live in , and encouraging War and disharmony . It makes me very sad !

But for everybody else with Christmas in mind and the whole Text Santa thing  going on in England , raising Money , but I don't know for what , lol .. anyways everywhere special Christmas jumpers are being sold and schools are doing a Christmas jumper theme with the Christmas Concert , so I've been off to get the kids Christmas jumpers . I also got one for myself  , can't miss out ... I'll wear mine everyday at home in the Christmas week ,lol . Yes I love Christmas but it's going to be very low key this year .. I wish I was fortunate , but a single mother with kids is not the way to go forward in life and I'm learning the hard way !

Here are my selection of some very gorgeous Christmas jumpers on the net for sale . Do get into the Christmas spirit , but remember never over-do it , there is always somebody who could do with a helping hand . I would much rather people who could afford quality stuff , instead of donating to Charity , help a family out . Find a neighbor-hood not so well off and get food , fruit or gifts for the residents . One family will do ofcourse , I know we all , don't have Mark Zuckerburgs wealth , ha ... Did he do a noble thing donating his 99% fortune to Charity ? Only the smart entrepreneur did not donate to charity , he just shifted the money to his own Charity he set up to combat paying taxes . Well nobody on the net has been impressed by his noble gesture :) He should be donating his money to actual people by helping each person set up a business to make them self sufficient and earn a living .And not expect returns , that is called donating . How about having a baker shop for every neighbourhood , nobody would need to go to the supermarket to  get processed bread , fresh bread and cakes baked on your street !

But here are my Christmas jumpers before I get side-tracked .

1. Red christmas jumper / 44 dollars / dorothyperkins.com
2. Chrismas Jumper I did Try / 15 pounds / boohoo.com
3. Penguin jumper / 20 pounds / Mandco.com
4. Chrismas tree Jumper / 16 pounds / thehut.com

Have an awesome day and keep smiling . There is always an answer and even if it's very bad , it's not  worse , than being dead and not seeing your beautiful kids . So like I keep campaigning and writing "Do Not Ever Think Of Committing Suicide " It is not the answer ! Live and let everyday take it's course . Love & Peace xx

Money Makes Duncan A Sexy Beast ... Girls Only Need Good Underwear !!!

Hi and a Happy Thursday to you , if it was happy ... England's gone to War and has started officially bombing Syria . A very bad idea , but the world has officially gone MAD , in my opinion :) No excuse to killing anyone . There are always casualties of war , then they start with adverts saying this child has lost everything please Donate three pounds a month for him . It has happened every time the telly's on and a nice programme is scheduled . I am so sick of seeing sadness !
On another subject , Duncan Bannatyne has at last been booted out ( voted out lol ) of I'm A Celeb ... The Sexy Beast Has Gone !!! What part of him is sexy , I don't know ! Not my type he's old , not fit , no great looks and a saggy body !! He looked like he lived in the jungle 5 years instead of 2  and a half weeks ,lol .. but of course all that sexy part and tolerance towards him , stemed from the fact he's a Millionaire . If he had no money , nobody would find anything about him good and attractive .  In other words Money makes the world go round , the sooner people admit , it's only money they like , the world would have less hypocrisy . So money is a good thing , we should start with teaching our children about money and how nothing else is more important than money . They would grow up making less mistakes than we did and go after money with the importance that it has !
So Cheers to money and hope it comes everyone"s way , next year , instead of just the 10 % of society !
So if Duncan only needs his money to be a sexy beast , we girls who have none , only need some sexy under-wear to be a sexy babe ! Fortunately women only need to have personality , charm , nice clothes and yes sexy under-wear to hit the right notes with anyone ! Some nice under-wear  I have selected to give you a boost , hope you like it !
H&M's have a stunning range as well . Pop into the shops and take a look or check  it out online .

Outfit Inspiration ... Apricot & Mustard , Cool & Hip !!

First of December ... that means the year is already on it's way out hhmm not the best year by a long shot , alot of bad things happened in the world ! But December means Christmas :) Just 23 shopping days till the big day ! Yes for Catholics today is the first day of advent leading up to the birth of Jesus the reason for Christmas . Which always gives me hope . Christ taught us to love , be peaceful and love everybody . lets hope tomorrow all the ministers will vote in the Commons against bombing Syria . Nothing peaceful about that ! I wonder if the PM is Christian or knows anything about love & peace . I think Jeremy Corbin is the man and will lead the Country to great things and will  finally bring peace and advocate it .  If people are smart enough to vote Labour next time , the elections come around :) Anyways God works wonders , that is why Labour finally chose a man like Corbin ! So in spite of a bad year he has given us hope !
