Monica Vinader | Siren Stacking Ring

I had my eye the Monica Vinader ring collection for quite a while now umming and ahhing whether to get one or not. As you can see, I have made my decision now ;-) I wanted one of the Siren stacking rings but was torn between getting the Labradorite one or the Moonstone one or even maybe the Aquamarine one.. it was a real struggle. I went for the Labradorite in the end because I thought it's the most 'me'.

The Birthday Edit

Birthday

Hello you gorgeous lot! It's another photo diary today! I celebrated my 25th birthday on the 14th of April and had such a nice, sun filled and warm week with family and friends. Turning 25 was somewhat scary I'll admit that much.. I mean it's literally a quarter of a century.. where did the time go?! Wasn't it only yesterday that I had an amazing birthday bash for my 20th? Or that BIG party I had when I turned 18? But oh well.. I'm having a good time so what's to complain about really eh?

The Healthy Life | Salad In A Jar

eat colourful

Hello my lovelies, this is the second installment of my healthy life series and I hope you love it as much as I do. This salad in a jar is super easy to prep and stays fresh in the fridge for about 3 days. So if you invest a bit of time on a Sunday you can make a couple of these for your working lunch the following week so there's no hazzle during the week and you're not tempted to go and get some (not so healthy) take away. This is more of an inspiration to you as an actual recipe because you can obviously put in your salad whatever ingredients you like.. make it a Cesar salad if you have some leftover chicken or add some prawns if you're a seafood lover, just be creative ;-)

Easter Weekend In Pictures | Life Lately #6

food

Hi guys! I hope you all had an amazingly relaxing Easter weekend with family and friends, chocolate and netflix & bed and pyjamas ;-) I loved having this long weekend to take some time out to breathe and sort out life stuff. There's just so much going on right now, massive amounts of dissertation work plus a lot of presentations and stuff for this semester's lectures and adding to that the stress of having to finally figure out what I wanna do with my life once uni is done in the summer (a.k.a. get writing your job applications already Jessica!!) So yeah I guess you could say this long weekend was much needed, I got out into nature as much as I could, had yummy food and took a lot of pictures and everything just got that little bit clearer to me. But I am rambling.. let's just have a look at what I've been up to last weekend instead :)

Chocolate Easter Nests

Easter clearly is a reason to cheat a little on the healthy eating front. There's just too many yummy chocolatey recipes out there! So for our Easter weekend treat I decided to make some chocolate Easter nests. Usually I would use cornflakes to make them but this year I thought why not switch things up a little and use shredded wheat instead? It was a good decision let me tell you ;-)

Huge Collective Haul

batiste

I haven't done many hauls on this blog but lately I have felt veeeery spendy so I thought why not share my purchases of the last couple of weeks. Like I said, this has been accumulated over a few weeks and I didn't just buy all of this in one trip into town (see how I'm trying to justify already?). So enough talking here's what I got:
