Since being back from holiday, we're loving the sun on home shores (it sure has blasted away any chance of holiday blues) and life has revolved around the garden as we plant flowering baby cougettes, grow baby tomatoes, splash around in the paddling pool and take it in turns to jump on the trampoline, the latter Mr Oliver likes to hog! Summer, in this house is in full swing!
We're now back from two blissful weeks in the Algarve, Portugal, relieved to have brought the sunshine home with us, helping to ease away our holiday blues.
Tomorrow morning we'll be flying off to Portugal for two whole weeks in the sun and I can't wait. It will be 14 days of pure uninterrupted family time which means no work, social media or blogging for me so I can take a proper break.
The other day, I received an exciting email from online sunglasses boutique Pret a voir asking if I might like some Chanel sunglasses to model and review. Obviously this took a lot of careful thought and consideration as you can imagine....So about half a millisecond later, I gracefully accepted while dancing round the living room!
So it's week 15 on the Fast Diet (not counting the 5 week break after week 11) which actually typing finger to post, seems like a long time-3 and a bit months. It really is working and like its name suggests, I've found it fairly fast when it comes to results.
Those who follow this blog you'll know that I adore clothes; designer, high street, vintage, clothes for me, the kids and heck even sometimes clothes for the husband and my Dad (at least I'm helping the economy)-I just hope my accountant's not reading this!
...I suppose soon it will be funny things my kids (plural) say as Alexander said 5 words by 8 and a half months and we think he said Mama today-however this post will be dedicated for now to my 3 and a half year old Oliver who cracks us all up on a daily basis! I hope it makes Emma and of course all of you, smile!
My day in London yesterday was pretty awesome. I had a fab meeting with someone I really *shouting/thinking good thoughts- REALLY hope to work with soon to serious fun and slap up lunches/dinners/pre lunch/dinners (basically eating all day) with my sister from another mister, feature filmmaker Amancay and I even got to meet very cool blogger Zaz from Mama and More for drinks at my second home in the Big Smoke, The Charlotte Street Hotel.
We all do it, put ourselves down, tell ourselves our bodies are not good enough, slim enough, curvy enough, toned enough and nothing puts the pressure on like the summer months. Well it needs to stop. And now.
