The InstaWeek that was #5

The name of this post should probably be The besquillion InstaWeeks that were, because unfortunately it has been THAT long since I published a new post. I've had so much going on the last few weeks and it's been a challenge to get even the every day stuff to come together that I was forced to take some BB time - Blogging Break time... Anyway I am now back again and as a nice gentle start I thought I would share some photos from my Instagram of things that have been going lately.

The InstaWeek that was: 

I've spent a lot of time in London the last months but with neighbors like Diptyque you won't hear me complain (and I haven't bought a single thing!) // Absolutely LOVE this latest Alien creation from Thierry Mugler, it's simply out of this world... // After long and intense days there's nothing like some pampering time at the spa // The latest stash from Ciaté  - got to love the mosaic or the crushed shell mani // Swedish Midsummer with traditional snaps, and yes we did finish them all // What to do on a scorching summer day? - Well ice climbing in Covent Garden of course... // Indulgent Sunday breakfast with raspberry croissants because raspberries are great for the skin // Loving London Summer evenings // Healthy tuna and salmon sashimi lunch to make up for the raspberry croissants

Highlights the past weeks:

- Ice climbing!!!!! Oh my goodness - such good fun and a great workout too, although I think I need a bit more training before I head to K2

- Beautiful balmy London evenings chilling out with Him Indoors

Hope you've also had a great few weeks! I'm so excited to be back in Blogiverse and don't forget to check out the new posts coming soon!

The InstaWeek that was #4

What an amazing warm Sunday, perfect for enjoying an indulgent creamy frappucino (can you tell I haven't had my daily Starbucks fix yet...? ) in the sunshine and a light read. I've had quite a few photos go up on my Instagram lately, so here's a quick recap of the InstaWeek that was.

The InstaWeek that was:

It's summer time and if you read This Summer I Shoes Flats, you'll know that I've swapped my high heels for glamorous flats and these beauties from Dune are this season's favorites for me // Colouring books for grown ups make studying FUN // Lovely refreshing strawberry lemonade from Starbucks US - I so wish we could get that here in the UK // A nice little surprise from Him Indoors, a huge bunch of dried lavender that makes the house smell like Provence // I started the 7 day juice challenge, only having smoothies and juice for 7 days - how difficult can that be... well stay tuned, because I'm doing a post about it in a few weeks // Girls night in with my best beauty pals // After month's of waiting I finally started testing my Ole Henriksen Truth range, so exciting! // Great night at the cinema watching Maleficent, envying those cheekbones // This monster arachnoid invaded my bedroom and with no husband to save me I did sleep in the guest room... yep... 

Highlights this week:

- I published my 300th post on the blog - amazing how time flies, and soon I've got the first anniversary coming up too.

- Packing and preparing for my mini adventure for the next few weeks

I've have to take a few days break from the blog since I'll be away for the next week, but I'll post regularly on my Instagram, so don't forget to check in every now and then. I'll be back again on June 18 and until then I hope you have a brilliant week and see you soon! Xx

The InstaWeek that was #2 and You Decide!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and that you've recovered from the inevitably blue start to the week. It's time for a quick recap of what's on my Instagram this week and if you follow me you'll know that I show photos of products and other things that aren't published here on the blog, and if you're not already a follower - why not check it out! I also want to let you know that I'm introducing a new regular monthly feature, and I'll be reviewing a product that you have decided for me. It can be anything you want - skin care, makeup, perfume or even a very specific product e.g. Barry M Gelly Shine Polish in shade Dragonfruit (example only of course) that you have in mind as long as I can get hold of it here in the UK. Please let me know either in the comments section, on twitter, on Instagram or via e-mail what you would like me to review and your wish is my command - You Decide!

The InstaWeek that was:

Blueberry frangipani, you don't need any other excuse than that! // So excited to get my very first Cloud Nine straightener, and a review will be coming up soon // Looking for inspiration on a Sunday afternoon // OOTN - Dress from ASOS, and Necklace from New Look // Sun worshipping Cat // Friday night, return of Him Indoors from another trip to Italy, celebrated with some Italian goodies and a goodie bag // Content of goodie bag // Most loved this week: Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub, Caudalie Divine Oil, Roberto Cavalli Exotica EdT, YSL Gloss Volupte and Lush Bunch of Carrots bubble bars // Soap & Glory A Great Kisser lip balm in Juicy Peach 

Highlights this week:

- Him Indoors coming back from his travel and spending a lovely weekend before jetting off again.

- A brilliant Saturday with some shopping, stuffing ourselves silly on the best burgers ever (even for veggies like myself) at Gourmet Burger Kitchen and watching Captain America The Winter Soldier

- Dior launch event of Dior Fluid Stick - review coming up tomorow!

I wish you all a wonderful day! Xx
