A TASTE OF THE EASTZEAST CHRISTMAS MENU

When the email dropped into my inbox inviting me to attend a taster session for the EastZEast Christmas menu I didn't hesitate to say yes.  Indian food is one of my favourite cuisines so I was extremely excited to try the festive menu and took Si along with me to sample the food.

MAYBELLINE LASTING DRAMA GEL EYELINER PEN

9 times out of 10 my day to day make up involves some kind of winged liner. I'm addicted to the look and I actually feel rather naked without it these days. I'm always on the look out for long lasting formulas that make application easier so when I saw this one popping up on a few of the blogs that I read, I ran out on my lunch break to grab one straight away picked one up on my next trip to Boots.

SIMPLE SPICY SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI

Whilst I love to cook, when it comes to midweek meal times more often than not I like to keep things quick and easy.  Sometime last week it came to that time when I was thinking I really needed to go food shopping.  You know that time of the week when there are just a few cupboard staples and an egg or two?  Not having the energy or the will to hit the supermarket I scraped a few ingredients together to make this easy yet satisfying meal.

AUTUMN LIPS

So autumn is here and it's time to dust of those rich deep colours.  There's something pretty magical about rich berry lips teamed with dusky pink cheeks in the cooler months.  To be quite honest I don't have a lot of darker lipsticks.  I have plenty of practical nudes, summery pinks and dramatic reds, but when it comes to darker hues my collection is sorely lacking.

OUTFIT: AZTEC

I didn't originally intend to post this, hence the crappy phone selfie photos, but I really liked my outfit and wanted to share.  At the weekend I went to my boss's 50th birthday party and this is what I chose to wear.  

CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

There are few things I like about the colder months but one thing I really enjoy is eating home made soup.  There's just something really comforting about curling up with a steaming hot bowl of soup and a freshly baked crusty roll on a chilly day.

#LIGHTSCAMERACURRYS

On Saturday I was invited to attend a photography workshop hosted by Currys at Manchester Photographic.  Being the first bloggers event I have attended I was incredibly nervous, feelings which weren't particularly helped by my train being cancelled on the morning of the event!  I did however manage to get there on time (boyfriend to the rescue once again!) and was made to feel at ease straight away.

SEPTEMBER DEGUSTABOX

For the last few months receiving my Degustabox has been something I really look forward.  My last two boxes have been quite good but I think Septembers box has been my favourite yet.
