I went to see a Nutritionist</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">so a little background on this. I have been veggie (or </span><br />
<h1 style="color: #3e3e3e; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">Pescatarian as I occasionally eat fish), for about 12 years now. I used to eat lots of red meat, chicken, turkey at Christmas etc but then slowly went off all of it. I am now pretty much on a vegetarian diet with a *heavy* liking for desserts and the sweet stuff.</span></span></h1>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">I've finally acknowledged how tired, lethargic, hyper, hormonal etc I've been feeling more and more and decided to do something about it. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration: inherit;">I looked up about nutrition and nutrition courses to try and get some idea of what its all about.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">I found a nutritionist based locally to me and made an appointment. She sent me paperwork to read in advance and asked me to complete a food diary. I completed this throughout the week and *had* to be honest about how much chocolate, biscuits, cups of tea I consumed..</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">I had an hour's appointment, where she took me through what she does and then said 'over to you', I proceeded to spend the next 40 minutes or so telling her all about how I had been feeling, my issues with my hormones/periods and just a general lack of enthusiasm for most things.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">Everything she said totally made sense - in a nutshell since turning 'veggie' all the nutrients I had been consuming by eating meat, poultry etc I was no longer getting hence why over a long period of time my energy levels, mental health etc had been starved of all the 'good stuff' I should have been getting from a more varied diet. This DID NOT mean I had to start eating meat again, far from it, it meant that I had to be more varied in what I did eat and load up more on the foods that would give me the best sources of nutrients to supplement my diet. It also highlighted how much my reliance on sugar was affecting my hormones/moods and how a more balanced eating plan would be better for me. She also suggested supplements to begin taking to help, along with the eating routine to help me back on the straight and narrow. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">She sent me breakfast and lunch suggestions/recipes - as I had mostly been living on cups of tea and biscuits for breakfast for last few years and sandwiches for lunch. Neither of which were doing my energy levels any good.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="fn" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">One thing I did point out which I found difficult was that fact that I didn't enjoy cooking or rather I used to get so fed up and frustrated about my disastrous cooking attempts that I would just give up and stick to the same foods.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">so moving on, </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">a new year brought some new programmes on TV (apart from Greys Anatomy of course) and now i am quite obsessed with the BBC2 programme <b><span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03sg4p5" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">The Great Interior Design Challenge</span></a><span id="goog_179306441"></span></span><span style="color: #ea9999;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">(available to catch up on </span><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03tcc6f/The_Great_Interior_Design_Challenge_Regency_Brighton/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">BBC iplayer </span><span style="color: #444444;">here</span></a><span style="color: #444444;">) I have become slightly over-obsessive about it and started scouring interiors magazines for ideas.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The walk around Westminster is really lovely and as it was such warm evening weather it meant I managed to capture some good pics (well on my iphone anyway). I've worked in London for nearly many years and never been over to see Big Ben or walked around Parliament Square. I guess because I'm mostly in town as a commuter (and so mostly in a hurry to get home) rather than a tourist to wander and look at the scenery.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">as always in my quest for a bargain. I was looking through on <a href="http://www.look.co.uk/pictures/supermarket-hotlist-50-best-buys-to-snap-up-this-month/50-fashion-buys-from-ff-at-tesco-george-at-asda-and-more#4OWQoV6eluQ3QBK7.15" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Look magazine</span></a> online and found this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course its a bag! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My rationale was that its very akin to the current Michael Kors in shape and structure. There are many versions of the top handled around at the moment and this one took my eye. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A great colour - Dove Grey and a great price - less than £20, available soon from TU at Sainsburys</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You must by now have noticed I am *obsessed* with handbags. I recently went on holiday and bought back two ~ no of course I didn't need either but hey, you can never have too many right ..?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The boyf recently came back from working overseas and text beforehand to ask if there was anything I'd like from Duty Free. Seeing as im still getting used to this 'being bought gifts' lark ~ I went for these as they've had good reviews...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course I tried them both out the day after he got home! I'm loving the Mascara ~ it has the small bendy brush which i prefer, isnt wet or sloppy and goes on well. It separates all the lashes and I can easily coat the bottom lashes lighter that the top. I'd never used (or bought for myself) Touche Eclat but I'm impressed with that too ~ the boyf made a good guess with the shade, he just told the counter assistant she's very pale! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So all in all a good little gift haul ~ best gift has to be the boyf himself tho! After nine weeks away we were both missing a long overdue hug ~ aww <!--3--></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">hello! am still here honest...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I nipped into Boots t'last week and was just on my way out and saw this. Not bad for £9.50 from Benefit so it had to be worth a go...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">first up the <span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/the-porefessional" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Porefessional</span></b></a> </span>primer before so was handy to try an 'ickle version and I do like it. Its very light and I do feel like its made a difference. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">next was the <u><b><a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/badgal-lash-mascara" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Bad Gal Lash</span></a></b></u> which i had tried before and did really like. it doesnt seem to clump and separates my lashes really well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last was the <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/posietint" target="_blank"><u><b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Posie Tint</span></b></u> </a>which I hadn't tried before but a little goes a long way and as I'm very pale, by using just a touch and blending in it worked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">a great little collection at a great price ~ well worth it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Got tickets to see the gorgeous Lianne La Havas at Shepherds Bush Empire ~ what a stunning voice and a great night..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Also in the same week, along with the new boyf saw The Lumineers with support from Langthorne Slim & the Law - if you've not seen/heard of either of these then check them out NOW on whatever device you have available. They were FAB with a CAPITAL F!! You may not know their name but you will know their latest track 'Ho Hey' which is the happiest tune I've heard in a long time.. </span><br />

I decided to give it a go after recommendation but have to say it felt very wet and cloggy on my face. It just made me want to wipe it all off once it had been on for only a short time. So off I went in search of an alternative. I got side-lined with Chanel when I'd actually gone into Debenhams to get Bare Essentials (but after trying to get my shade twice I had to give up). I bought the Chanel because a friend was buying and I gave in to the hype plus the gorgeous packaging..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What can I say..? well its ok - I don't find it gives a great deal of coverage which lasts, even when applied with a primer. I would think its more a final-fix brush over than a </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">full-on foundation. The assistant was very helpful and gave me a colour test demo in store (I think i really just got carried away with the Chanel-ness of it all). The colour match was good and leaves my skin feeling soo soft but like I said, the lasting coverage just isn't there for me. I have been applying with a brush so I will persevere and maybe try with a sponge to see if that makes a difference. We shall see - still one bonus I now have a gorgeous compact mirror case! <span style="color: #ea9999;"><u><b><a href="http://www.chanel.com/en_GB/fragrance-beauty/Makeup-95547" target="_blank">Chanel Healthy Glow Sheer Powder in No20 ~ £38.00</a> </b></u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also tried Bare Essentials (once I trekked to Westfield) which came in a tester with a cute little application brush. I found this coverage much better and it lasted longer which is the good thing for me. I'm not really a major re-applier so having something that lasts at least until lunchtime is good for me. I was given a colour test demo in store and the assistant found me a good match, the only thing I have found with this is that its the Matt version. I think if i do purchase the full product I will find a more luminous/reflecting shade to give a more glowy look. </span><u style="color: #ea9999; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://www.bareminerals.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-BareEscentualsUK-Site/default/Experience-Show?cgid=BM_READY_FOUNDATION" target="_blank">Bare Minerals SPF20 Foundationin R170 ~ £25.00</a></b></u><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the moment, I am doing the easy bits ~ sorting the stuff, so there is less of it when I put it all back after re-decoration. I have some images of the look I want to work towards </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is well documented how much I adore the Robster ~ yes he's had an up and down of it over the last few years but now he seems to definitely be back 'on it' and enjoying life. That may have something to do with wife Ayda and daughter Teddy but whatever it is, good for him..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I managed to sneak down to catch a glimpse when he nipped into work last week and he played a gig that evening out on Radio 2.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes you gotta love Primarni ~ most people do.. Fast and affordable fashion which is great if you're on a budget!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I realised while i was out last Saturday that i was pretty much top-to-toe in Primark, except for my bra (M&S)..</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">l<span style="color: blue;"><b><i>ong sleeve top ~ £3.50</i></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Vest (yes a vest!) ~ £2.50</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Black Snood ~ £5.00</i></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Boots ~ £1.50 (from Bootfair but originally from Primark)</i></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ok so I am dressed entirely for Winter in my dark colours but I recently found the combat skinnies and loved them! They have gold zips and stud detailing around the pockets (very similar to those in Zara but half the price), they also stretch really well and reach just to the ankle so great for tucking in boots, if needs be..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">so for less than £30 ~ i'm completely kitted out</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do love a bargain when i'm skint</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm growing my hair out at the moment (from the crop I had in the Summer) and its slowly getting there... I've sourced some hair idea pics which I've saved to my<b> <a href="http://weheartit.com/littlemisskc" target="_blank"><i>weheartit</i></a></b> page. I'd love the dip dye, mix of blondes back again so I'm going to work towards this and have a mini image re-vamp (I feel like I need it but that's another story..)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are a few ideas I've cribbed ~ which will be on-going mini catalogue which I'll keep on my phone until I feel like my 'do' is long enough and then i'm gonna go for it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My ideal would be the first pic which is a long-ish bob and light/dark blonde and honey mixes. I did also like the colours of Miley and the super 'new look' on Emily Blunt ~ who I think looks adorable with blonde locks and it somehow makes her look softer. The last pic is almost like a front version of the first pic with a blunter fringe, volume along with super lashes and cat eye flicks ~ gorge!</span><br />
