Bath Time

15th May 2011

Friday the 13th may be believed to be unlucky, but for me at least it was pretty freaking awesome. After much planning and anticipation Mum and I headed off for a hard saved for shopping spree in the beautiful city of Bath; it’s silly, we so rarely go there and yet it is just 25 minutes away by train (and cheaper to get to than it is to Bristol city centre!)

I took the oppurtunity to wear a new dress which I bought in New Look last weekend when I was with Becca.

The cardigan came via the gorgeous Jazzabelle who has my taste nailed.

The weather gods were shining on us and we were treated to sunshine pretty much alll day long!

There were lots of coffee stops…

(best name for a cafe ever?)

(this photo is why you so rarely see my face front on!) ((I don’t have a comparison to hand but i look EXACTLY like my Dad here))

The result?

Two very tired people. Sore feet. This.

Best get saving for next time!

Snacking Saturday; Popping mad!

13th May 2011

Fans of Pret will probably already be aware of Metcalfe’s skinny topcorn. Up until about a fortnight ago I was shamefully un-aware, until a pre birthday coffee date with friends and a need for snackage led me to trying the sweet n salt flavour.

Instant.Love.

As soon as I got home I got googling to find out more about the genius brand. I sent a curious e-mail and was delighted to get a friendly response and an offer of samples for review on Snacking Saturday!

Of all four flavours, suprisingly (and I say surprisingly because I generally hate the stuff) Wasabi was my favourite. So much so I plan on ordering a whole box of it!
The bags are generous sized, yet remain diet friendly at under 130 cals per bag (except for chocolate which comes in at 220).
The chocolate drizzle flavour is a taste sensation with an amazing clash of textures and tastes that satisfied all possible food cravings in one fell swoop!

In short, this stuff is addictive. Buy in bulk. Now! Healthy, tasty and affordable…what more could you want?! (actually, if it could make tea…)

Available at Pret stores and selected other retailers,
or by the box, online.

This my friends, is a revolution in snacking. I urge you to jump on board.

(and yes, it is also cheap and easy and fun to make your own popcorn, but this stuff is the shizzle!)
