MIMM # Number I've Lost Track...

I woke up today, late, and I realised after a wonder downstairs that it was in fact Monday. I haven't partaken in MIMM for so long that I thought it was about time to get back on that horse!

Nothing that crazy happened this weekend! It was mainly spent driving back to my Uni town to do a shift at work on Saturday and then driving back. The trip usually isn't that bad and on a good day I can get there within the hour. But on Friday it was a nightmare! I go motorway and am only normally on there for 35 minutes, but on Friday I found myself at a standstill and it ended up taking me 2.15 hours! I couldn't believe it. But I was lucky enough to have good tunes on all the way to help time go faster.

Here are some of my favourite tunes at the moment!

Pitbull ft Kesha - Timber

Sam Smith - Money on my Mind

Arctic Monkeys - One for the road

Jake Bugg - Slumville Sunrise

Tinie Tempah ft Labrinth - Lover not a Fighter

...and that's just to name a few. There are plenty more that I am loving at the moment, after the Crimbo tunes got unticked and taken off my ipod on Saturday.

These are definitely making my new workout playlist :-D

Speaking of working out. I really need to get back into the swing of things and set myself some new goals for the month of January.

I am definitely not one of those people who set goals at the beginning of the year. Instead I am someone who is constantly writing down goals, sometimes daily because that's the easiest way I find to get stuff done. But when it comes to fitness I like to make my goals monthly as they feel more achievable. So there will be a post coming on those very soon!

Here are some of my favourite photos taken over the month of December.


From Boxing Day, which I spent with my mommy!

I have been loving candles lately :-D Here's my windowsill display.

Is it a bit vain that I made a Instapicframe of my favourite Selfies from the month of December? Probably.

And I obviously couldn't make a Selfie collage without making one for my favourite eats and drinks of the month!

Left to Right, and down.

Left - A Mixed Berries, Greek Yoghurt and Milk concoction. It was so good and really filling!

Right - Scrambled Cheese and Egg on a Buttered Cheese and Chilli infused Roll. Sounds fancy but was actually a pretty cheap meal to cook! And I always have eggs in the fridge.

Left - My Crimbo Roast Dinner. It was scrumptious.

Right - My new favourite Orange and Chocolate Pancakes, inspired from the pancake queen herself Heather! Definitely my favourite new recipe of the month. And I've made them a total of four times now...I'm a little addicted I would say.

Left - I finally got to try a Christmas cup from Costa...and I now can't remember the name. I know I instagramed it, so maybe the names there?! Something Caramel I think...

And on the Right we have an old classic...banana and peanut butter on toast. You just can't go wrong with it!

Well so much for a short post?! Thank you to Katie for hosting :-D

What was your favourite "new to you" recipe of the month? Leave me the links below if you can 
:-D

Anybody else been taking a lot of Selfies over the Christmas period? I always feel a little self concious when I do and oh so vain.

Catching Up...

Or should I say Catching Fire. I've got to say after seeing the latest installment of The Hunger Games last Tuesday, this one was actually good! I have read all three books and thought they were really good - bar the ending of the last. But that first film was a pile of you know what!

Anyway, let's get down to business. It's been a while since I sat down and wrote a post. And that's not from one thing but multiple things. Lately has just generally been busy. If I am not stressing over Uni work, I am at work and if I am not there I am doing other stuff - just life in general is happening. It's mainly just that time of year. Which I love so I shouldn't complain. But honestly there just aren't enough hours in the day.

I have a few photos to share from over the past couple of weeks. I really want to start writing again, so hopefully I get a chance to write a post every now and then.

Here's to catching up!

I tried Porridge and Jam. It's good but it doesn't meet beat Nuttella.

I tried out the latest trend of bold dark lips and mascara only. Please, ignore the split ends.

I've been working.

I tried Caramel coffee using the freebie I got in the post, and it's so good! So good I had to go buy a jar :-D If your drink of choice is a caramel latte from Starbucks or Costa or wherever then I've got you covered.

Oh, and I drank more coffee. It was deadline week, and I spent an insane amount of money on...yeah, you guessed it - Caramel Latte's.

I rediscovered my love for beetroot.

And M&M peanuts!

Oh yeah I had an endoscopy. A procedure where a camera goes down your throat and into your stomach...yeah it is as bad as it sounds!

Lookily I could wear my clothes under my gown but it wasn't the best pattern let's admit it. Why do hospital gowns get designed in this way?

I finally got to go see the Arctic Monkeys!

With my sister.

All I needed was a tiny dog with this bad boy of a headband ;-D

And I made my best pancakes to date on Sunday...which was yesterday...but I forgot because I am getting my dates mixed up :-D

These were my best friends. And she asked me to photograph the pancakes face...so I did!

And that is it. For now...

Hope you have a great start to the week!
