Pretty much sums it up ;-)

Happy Easter lovelies!

Date night

In the 'Screen on Baker Street' cinema with hubby, about to watch Richard Gere in new movie Arbitrage.
Thanks to my lil brother Erik, who's combining studying for his medical school final exam, with baby sitting for his adoring nephew :-)

Hand massage @ Jo Malone

Today I booked my friend Ama and I for a (complimentary!) hand and arm massage at Jo Malone in Mayfair.

We also got a fragrance tailoring session, and I chose my three favourite scents (in pic below) - Twenty minutes of sheer bliss :-)

Spot the panther!

A fave arm candy is my panther bracelet cuff, which can spice up any outfit.  Here together with other accessories, but it's a beautiful piece to wear on it's own too :-)

Waking up to some lovely gifts

My outfit for the evening was this LBD  with a baring midriff 

Dinner at the exclusive restaurant Nobu.  Sipping Sake from miniature bamboo cups 

We all agreed that the food was simply amazing there and we had a selection of sashimi, black cod and lobster salad

Andrea & I hanging with  Hollywood A-listers Ray Liotta (gorgeous!) and Danny Trejo :-)

Nouveau lashes

In preperation for my birthday (37th! Gah!) dinner tomorrow at Nobu, I'm treating myself to a lash extension at a local salon to give me thicker and longer lashes. They are applied one by one ( i.e hundreds!) lasts roughly 5-6 weeks and takes 90 minutes. Best of all? I dont have to put on mascara for the next month and a half! :-)

Singing concert @ school

Never fails to make my mummy heart burst of pride :-)

Natures beautiful ways- Icicles

Despite snow (i.e. temperatues below zero!) and a harsh whipping wind, I was determined to go out for a 5k power jog after the weekend's indulgences. This sighting in Regents Park, where the fountain water had frozen into beautiful icicles, made it all worth while!

Monday morning motivation

I’m not always good at taking my own advice, and I'm still learning, but it's vital that you make respecting yourself a priority! Love this pic and it's message!

Ama and Sean :-)

Happy Mother's Day!

Continuing motherhood celebrations at Little House in Mayfair with our good friends Andrea and David. Two mums, four kids, two hubbies and Champagne & chocolate :) My kind of Mothers Day!

Bathroom Beauties

These pretty two tone roses are brightening up my bathroom at the moment  (together with my fave Jo Malone candle)

Buying flowers for your home is an affordable (yes, you can buy a pretty bouquet from the local supermarket Tesco etc, for no more than £3!) and uplifting weekly routine that I have.  Fresh flowers add beauty and cheer to any room, and in this case, my bathroom.  

It is the first place you go to when you wake up in the morning, so it's the room where your first impression of every day is.  I usually get a large bunch for the living room and then i take a couple of stems and trim them to incorporating them into my home.  They make me happy, and give me an emotional boost every time I go in to the bathroom. 

It's so true when they say it's the "little things', and let's not forget they make a grand impression for guests coming to visit too :-)

Low carb seed crackers

Before and after pics of tonight's baking session. These crackers are a perfect snack and apart from being very tasty they are high in fibre and crunchy. Best of all though - they are low carb!

To make them I used:  

sunflower seeds, milled chia seeds, ground almond, sesame seeds, linseeds, coconut oil, boiled water and last but not least, psyllium husk powder, to bind the moisture (although its often sold as a colon cleanser, it happens to be a great thickening agent!) and help make them less crumbly. Oh I mustn't forget -  I sprinkled pumpkin seeds on top. 

Simply delicious and at them same time nutritious :-) Sean and Bear gave them 5 out of 5, so it's a result! 

Endorphins release, Ellie Goulding & new trainers

'Hanging On' is the latest addition to my Power-Walk playlist on Spotify 

With sunshine pouring through our bedroom windows, I decided to start this Monday morning with a 5k power walk, getting the blood flowing. 

It's such a great way to amp up the energy levels!  Nonetheless, after four(!) years with the same trainers, I am now beginning to feel and see just how tired these running shoes are. Time to get new ones me think, and these pink and black ones are high on my wish list.

Lunching at Lemonia

Having a lovely relaxed lunch at Greek restaurant Lemonia, in Primrose Hill.
Fresh calamari to start with, and a cheeky glass of rose (well we did walk here from Marylebone, so have earned lol!) with Bear & Seany, is a just lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon :-)
