Me Again...

Right I'm back with a bang! Well a bunch of tea bags and a few ideas. I have well and truly been out of the blogosphere for a good few months and whilst I've bought a few new products, OK I tell a lie, a LOT of new products I haven't really had the drive to sit at my laptop and put finger to keyboard; as it were.

One of the main reasons I have shied away from writing is because the thing I want to write about most is fashion and the outfits I have put together, however my ongoing battle with my weight has left me more than a little camera-shy. 

So the new inspiration for this little burst of writing? 

In three short weeks I shall be boarding a plane with three... how to put it? Well kept? Boys. Lol basically they look good and I am frantically trying to sort out my beach bod so I don't look like the dumpling floating in the pool. Of course I know there is no miracle cure for a gigantic arse and bingo wings which have a mind of their own. Consequently I have been running twice weekly and going to the gym once a week with a friend, but my sister suggested I try out the new fad that everyone is going on about- 'Bootea'. I thought instead of hiding away the fact that I'm trying to lose weight I should embrace it and share my stories and experiences with others as I complete the 14 DAY TEATOX. 




The idea behind the teatox is that you have one of the daytime teabags every morning and one of the night time every other evening. [I have been warned by my sister to watch out for the evening teabags the next day as they produce quite a profuse laxative effect]... Can't wait ...



Now I'm not a great lover of tea, in fact I find it repulsive, so you can imagine my enthusiasm and excitement at the prospect of drinking the stuff every day, it sort of tastes like a green tea but even so I'm not a convert, yet. The night time cleanse is infused with lots of mint and you'd think this would make it tastier. It doesn't. The evening tea is pretty vile but I will power through in the name self confidence and, I suppose you could say, vanity, but whatever. Let me know if you want to hear all the gory details of the night time cleanse, it supposedly takes 12 hours to kick in so I tried to time it so I wouldn't be at work haha.

This week I downloaded Lana Del Rey's latest album Ultraviolence and I've absolutely been loving it. My favourite track off it so far has got to be West Coast. It's so laid back and I can't wait to be sitting by our pool in Malta sipping a mojito and listening to this! Perfection!
