April Fav's.. Spring/Summer Shoes & Thoughts !!

Happy Saturday !

The weather was not glorious today , it was cold , windy and it rained & rained ,so much for Spring time and some sunshine !! Hopefully we can soon start wearing our summer shoes which I keep dreaming about .. here are some of my favourites to inspire you when you think of purchasing some nice new spring/summer  footwear :)

1 britwedge platform sandal / 96 dollars / charles by charles david

2 elise gladiator sandals / 90 dollars / sole society

3 twiggy heel in bordeaux / 88 dollars / by the way.

4 seychelles wedge / 90 dollars / seychelles

Before I go on little Alfie Evans lost his battle with life today He was all over the news as his parents battled doctors to save his life ...rest in peace Alfie ! I never could understand why he was not allowed to just go to Rome and allow the doctors in Italy their try . He did survive a couple of days without life support he didn't just give up, the courts in England gave up on him without giving Italy a chance . I believe the Holy Father ,Pope Francis even pleaded to allow him to come to Italy . Another life lost, yet we must pretend it's all okay !

Today Katy Perry and her squeeze Orlando Bloom while on holiday in Rome were so privileged to meet the Pope .. Yes that's a surprise for me Katy Perry wanting to meet the Holy Father and he making time for Her ??? Yeah I would have liked to be a fly on the wall if he had a few words for her .. I'm sure you all must know how Katy has been battling the Nuns in California over their Property . While the Nuns have no intention of selling the Convent to Katy she stands determined to have it .. spoilt little girl who thinks money talks over the wishes of people !! One of the elderly nuns at 80 plus( fairly old ) recently died in Court while telling Katy to just please STOP ! No but she ain't bothered but somehow still managed to produce some false smiles and meet the POPE ... some people ! Fair to say I'm not a Katy Perry fan these days !

In other news William & Kate have named the baby Prince and just like I said in my last blog the day after he was born that he would be called Prince Louis and so he has :) Beautiful name and yes I got it right ,happy days !!!

Before I end this blog a quote which I love thought I'd share it with you , Life isn't about being happy all the time and finding that one person to complete you , it's about having experiences and sharing Jacuzzi 's :) Have an awesome day and keep smiling :)

Love & Peace  

April Favourites .. Skirts :)

Happy Tuesday !

Yesterday was St George's Day , it was also William Shakespear's birthday both celebrated with pride in England . it was also a cause for big celebrations yesterday because Kate Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William welcomed their third child into the world . A bonny baby boy .. very sweet and a thoroughly joyous occasion . Now Kate is the mother of two boys just like Princess Diana and whereas Diana did not have the third baby a girl she so wanted .. Kate has that too . Diana is truly smiling down on them from heaven . I think Kate makes William very happy and that definitely make Diana happy . I loved her choice of outfit as she left St. Marys Hospital with the baby , a tribute to Diana in a very similar outfit ( red ) that Diana wore when she left the hospital with Baby Harry in 1984 . Although why did Kate wear her usual heels leaving the hospital ? It was totally unnecessary some flats for the short walk would have been just as beautiful ( she did give birth only 7 seven hours before ! Women have tremendous pressure on them to look stunningly turned out immediately after birthing ! Kate no need to put more pressure on them ( We love you enough )

I was absolutely sure baby would be a boy and come on the 23rd of April so I wonder if my thoughts on the baby name will be anywhere close :) I'm thinking the baby Prince will be called Louis Philip John  it would be a nice name :)

Although the weather has turned so cold overnight ( had me shivering & needing an extra blanket in the middle of the night ) as I had already kept my winter duvet away for the Spring / Summer one , here are some beautiful Skirts for Spring/ Summer when you want your legs on display and still look cute . Enjoy .

A recommendation for a movie , if anyone is looking for a good one to go see at the weekend . Don't miss this one it's very entertaining and definitely worth the expensive ticket prices  " Ready Player One " 

1 blossom embroidered skirt / 68 dollars / topshop
2 petitee ivy embroidered skirt / 68 dollars / topshop
3 flared skirt / 52 dollars / fila
4 PU mini skirt / 60 dollars / topshop

Cheers , Have an awesome day and keep smiling ...

Chicken & Lentils ... April Favourite !!

Happy Friday !

Today didn't feel like Friday , it felt like Saturday guess I was already taking it easy and in weekend mode . So I would just be enjoying an extra long weekend because tomorrow really is Saturday :) This week has been an eventful week . Shocking news that Dale Winton had passed away . My absolute favourite presenter . I loved his charm ,wit ,smile and endearing quality . God rest his soul . He shall be missed very sad he left this world far too early . But today even more shocking news my favourite DJ Avicii died suddenly in Oman while he was on holiday there . At 28 he was even years younger than Dale . I am so,so sad . He made great music was gifted and put his talent to good use . The world mourns his loss and every music fan . RIP Avicii  !! We all fight battles he fought his greatest with drink and he lost . We don't know how he died but I'm guessing alcohol ! Dale fought his everyday with depression , a seriously dangerous sickness but so under estimated yet claims so many lives . And makes it torture while you struggle everyday to live . For everyone battling depression battle on , live each day optimistic that you can hold on victoriously everyday . Give yourself credit each night and be proud of yourself . A battle fought is a battle Won ! You are special and somebody loves you ( even if you don't have anyone in your life remember God loves you . )

For today's blog, I am choosing a one pot recipe to make your dinner time easy and nutritious with something healthy being served up quick. My children love Chicken and I adore lentils fantastic combination . Serve it with a nice salad and some crusty bread  Enjoy the food and happy cooking!

April Favourites ... No Need For Frizz !!

Happy Monday !

If you have curly, wavy hair like me then the slightest amount of rain, heat, or central heating can cause all you hair to feel dry and get frizz. With spring in the air & hopefully summer not so long off and with many of my readers and followers  from warmer countries, so it's all about smooth and hydrated - manageable hair we all long to have. These five great anti-frizz products will keep your hair moisturised and won't weigh your hair down, and actually work. I have tried and tested them all!

At no. 5 is Nanokeratin Re-Invent Leave In Conditioner and costs a hefty £25.55. I loved this product and will use it again.

No. 4, Alterna Bamboo Smooth Frizz Correcting Styling Lotion, A very nice product that costs £16.24.

No. 3, Davineo Momo Moisturizing Anti Frizz Fluid, just a dollop of this smoothing cream after towel drying your hair will detangle and hydrate from root to tip. Costs $22 and available from Barneys.com. The bottle is plain and not very attractive, but the product is great.

No. 2, It's a 10! Miracle Leave-in Product, this costs a whopping $34. But like its name, it's a 10 from me!

No 1, my favorite, and at the top of my list is Bumble and Bumble Defrizz. It costs $25 dollars and is available at Sephora.com. A must try!

Hope you find the list handy for the next time you go shopping. Don't let a bad hair day spoil your mood. These great products will have you feeling like a princess with silky, glossy hair.

Keep smiling and have an awesome day. A quote I love ... enjoy by the great Rabindranath Tagore :)

Spring Weather & Thoughts !!

Happy Tuesday !

It was a gorgeous day , the sun was shining and I spent the day out with a friend . Nothing does better than waltzing around the Farmers Market getting the best deals on Fruit ,Veggies , Eggs and Fish . I love the avocados , mangoes , pumpkins ,fresh herbs , chillies all organic and straight from the farms . Do you guys take the trouble to find a farmers market and buy their stuff . Not only will you be helping the local farmers but fresh produce is full with vitamins and beneficial to long term health . Well if your goal is to be live longer than Methuselah !!

Eating a healthy diet nourishes the brain as well . Depression has never been higher than in the last 20 years . What is it that drives so many over the edge and coping with issues becomes too much to handle and suicide to many seem like the only option .  Life is very stressful but it saddens me when I read about suicides by young and middle-aged people . Today in the daily mail I read about a family who lost their two sons to suicide ten months apart . It is very , very sad .   We need to relax more about our lives we don' t really need to achieve everything at once . People put too much pressure on themselves . It' s okay to be who you are . In this mad , mad world we need to breathe and let life come as it will . We also need to reach out to each other and say it' s okay to have emotions anger , sadness , our thoughts are meant to be shared , don' t feel embarrassed to say how you feel or how you want something to turn out . Everything will never be how you want it but it doesn't hurt to express our feelings . I am not a person to shrink from expressing my thoughts and I reckon it's helped me alot in coping with life .

We are a consumer society and this need to have everything is not bringing anyone any happiness . Downsizing is now the new big rage . I can't get enough of the YouTube video's of people's tiny houses . I absolutely love them . We need to live in smaller places and cut back on going big . Not only staying in a huge place allows greedy company's to give you heating bills that cost an arm and a leg and leave you pretty badly off end of the month , but governments aid and abet with these people to rip us off. How is this fair ? We need to see these company's go bust ! Downsize  and do the eco friendly thing solar panels ! Make sure to switch off lights use candle light after dinner to watch telly , you don't need the big lights on . Fire places are God sent but not many houses have them anymore , such a shame . Maybe we all need to be minimalist . Going to write a blog on it soon and how it can help you . I know I'm not going to turn overnight into a minimalist but I'm doing my fair share slowly .  Recently I stopped buying plastic disposable straws to have my drinks ( coffee , tea etc .. because I don't want to stain my teeth :) ) I have bought from Amazon.com Stainless Steel straws which look oh so chic and they can be used for many years . Sold with a little brush  to clean them in packs of four , I think it's the best thing ever ! I highly rec-command everyone invests in these straws . They come in Stainless Steel and Glass . Just do it ! I have also stopped buying and using plastic bags . I now have a couple of tote bags ( cloth ) which are very environmentally friendly and easy to carry on your shoulder .

Hope you also start with small changes and make a big difference to the World we live in ! Have an awesome day and keep smiling .

April Favourites ..Healthy Smoothies !!

Happy Sunday !

A day for relaxing and making sure that we can also maintain a healthy balanced lifestyle . As I've just bought a new bullet blender I'm making smoothies  non stop for the children and myself .

Drinking is beneficial to our body and we need liquids to survive. It's a known fact that we can live longer without food but if we cut out liquids we meet our maker sooner. So to quench our thirst, stop reaching for fizzy drinks and make your drink of choice healthy!

Healthy drinks can lower the risk of heart disease, it can improve your mood and also give you a good portion of your five-a-day. Hope you enjoy this Berry smoothie .

Berry Smoothie:

Ingredients:
• 1 ripe banana
• 140g of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
• Apple juice or mineral water
• Honey, to serve

Instructions:
1. Slice the banana into your blender or food processor and add the berries of your choice. Whizz until smooth. With the blades whirring, pour in juice or water to make the consistency you like. Toss a few extra fruits on top (suggestion), drizzle with honey and serve.

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, ''It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.''

Have an awesome day and keep smiling!
