Sunday

Back to reality (it's 2012!)

You'll have to excuse my lack of posts but I've been in the land of the free enjoying my time outdoors and not in front of the computer in gray ol' England. I've arrived back in London to be swamped at work and realised it's impossible to get caught up at home when you're working full time. My mountain of laundry seems to be growing rather than shrinking and I may or may not have just taken down the Chistmas decorations this past weekend.

Hope to be back to regularly scheduled posting soon!

I'm Loving {November Edition}

These are the things I loved in November:

Pumpkin Bread

Seriously can't get enough.

Christmas Carols

I just couldn't help turning them on while cooking Thanksgiving dinner. My taste is rather eclectic- from Celine to Elvis to Sinatra, I love them all.

 

...and that's all I got!

Being sick has thrown me for a loop and wasn't a great way to start December so I'm not feeling the November love at this moment.

Cure for a Cold

I can't remember the last time I got sick and this cold has thrown me for a loop. I can't think straight and because I can work from home, I have been (deadlines!), but I don't know if any of the emails I have sent actually make sense. Luckily, my remedy seems to be working. The only ingredient I forgot was lots and lots of attention- nothing beats a little pampering from loved ones.

It's Like Living in America

Thanks to Ocado, my pantry is stocked full of American goods that are normally hard to find on this side of the Atlantic. Bonus points for bringing them to me cheaper than other online retailers.

*I did not buy all of the above, I'm just highlighting a selection of what they have on offer.

Red Stamp

Do you have an iPhone or an iPad?

If you do, you'll love this app I discovered last weekend.

You can even add your own pictures to the cards.

Go download and create!

 

P.S. If you don't have an iAnything that uses apps, you can shop the Red Stamp store for printed creations.

I'm Loving {August Edition}

September is here and fall is on the way. These are things that made me happy in August.

 

The most delicious yogurt on the planet. If you like coconut go buy this today. Imagine a creamy yogurt with miniscule bits of coconut. It reminds me of a pina colada. 

 

A best selling author taking the time to comment on a blog? Amazing! Seriously, go buy Saving CeeCee Honeycutt.

Dunkin Donuts K-Cups. I love my Keurig and I love DD so this is a win, win combination. A box is on its way to me and I know I won't be disappointed.

 

Maybelline Volume Express Turbo Boost. This is probably the first drugstore mascara I have used that has *never* given me clumps. I don't know that it gives a lot of volume but it definitely makes my lashes look pretty.

Important Things

I've been busy doing important things.

Like

lounging all day in the sun

by the pool

with lunch and drinks delivered to my chair.

You know, the really important things.

 

Sadly, we returned home to see the mess that has been overtaking London. My important things aren't so important anymore.

Week In Review

 

Reading:

Austenland. Why have I never heard of this book? It's currently being made into a movie with Keri Russell (anyone else love Felicity?) which is the real reason I bought it.

 

 

Eating:

Skinny Cow iced lollies in mint chocolate chip. Guilt free yum.

 

Watching:

The Killing on Channel 4. It's different and I love it.

Drinking:

Bubble tea. Bubbleology opened a branch in Harvey Nics which is trouble.

Wearing:

Essie Clambake. A bright summer red which has gotten me loads of compliments.
