Second Week Of Slimming World

Well my second week was no where near as good as my first, I stuck to plan all week but we went away for the weekend and I ended up having about 4 takeaways and being more lenient with snacks and drinks, I did feel a bit guilty when I was eating the wrong things but I was also enjoying myself and it was just the easy option. I did only put on 1lb though, I was expecting to put the whole 9lbs I lost the first week back on so I was quite pleased with that. I'm being really good this week and I'm trying Slimming Worlds baked chicken with tomatoes tonight, it seems pretty easy to make so hopefully I don't mess it up. I am not a good cook.

Do you know any easy syn free or low syn recipes I can try?

Happy Slimming girls and guys!

First Week Of Slimming World

Me and my Aunt decided to join Slimming World online to help us lose weight so each week I will post on here how I done :)

Well last week was my first week and I lost 9.5lbs and achieved my half stone award!! I didn't believe it at first. It's not uncommon to lose quite a bit on your first week though, apparently it should slow down now.

I'm no cook but Ive been trying out some homemade recipes from the Slimming World website and Ive been really enjoying it, why haven't I always done this? It doesn't even feel like a diet.


Poached eggs are my new best friend!

I tried homemade cheeseburgers, pulled pork, chilli con carne and diet coke chicken, oh and homemade chips which are amazing! I've used the slow cooker for them all apart from the cheeseburgers.

My syns during the week were mainly used on curly wurlys or prawn cocktail walkers, I didn't use all 15 syns everyday which I was shocked about as I was expecting to be wanting to use them all up and more!

Are you doing Slimming World?
Know any yummy recipes?

H&M Heeled Chelsea Boots. The most comfortable boots ever.

Heeled Chelsea Boots

I bought these heeled chelsea boots from H&M a few weeks ago and they are the most comfortable boots I own. They are really well made and the chunky heel is perfect measuring 8.5cm, so not too high for me. These are my perfect day boots but I also wore these Valentines night as they go with pretty much anything. 

These cost £24.99 which I think is a really good price for a decent pair of boots.

If you're going to buy from H&M online I would suggest browsing the web for a discount code as there is nearly always one or two floating about.

No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation

Recently I have fell in love with this No7 Beautifully Matte foundation...


I was originally planning on purchasing MAC studio fix whilst out birthday shopping with my mum but we popped into Boots first, and I am definitely glad we did. 

The lady on the counter was lovely, I can be quite intimidated sometimes at beauty counters but this lady was great, very helpful and not pushy at all. 
My colour match for this foundation is Warm Ivory, at first I thought it was going to be too dark but it actually matches my skin perfectly.

This little beauty is everything I need in a foundation, quite heavy coverage without feeling too heavy, built in SPF, long lasting and keeps shine at bay.
 It has a pump dispenser as well which is always a good thing.

You can purchase this foundation from Boots for £13.50 AND I think the £3 off No7 make up vouchers are currently hanging about.

Have you tried No7 Beautifully Matte foundation?
