The Want Edit

I use Pinterest as a tool to store and curate all of the interesting things that I see across the internet, I also use it to store a visual list of all the things I want to own, which is handy when it comes to my Birthday, Christmas, Valentines or any other time for that matter. Here is a small selection of my ever expanding want list. 



1. A.P.C. x Louis W. - Suede Bomber Jacket 

2. Oliver Peoples - Meier Glasses 

3. Whistles - Low Top Leather Trainers 

4. Reiss - Bless Marle T-Shirt 

5. A.P.C. - Petit New Standard Jeans

Breakfast Smoothie

Recently we bought an Blend Active home blender, It's perfect for quick smoothies and juices, you just throw all of the ingredients in and blend, easy (the container also acts as the bottle so you can take it with you to work). After experimenting with different ingredients and trying out loads of healthy recipes we've found one which is a perfect get up and go drink, the banana and oat smoothie. We've been having this quite often and it really helps give you that needed boost of energy in the mornings. If you want to give it a go here are the ingredients.


1 Banana 
1 Tsp Honey 
1 Tbsp Milled Flax and Oatbran 
3-4 Tbsp Yoghurt (We prefer Alpro Soya) 
Almond or Soya Milk (Add as much as you want until the consistency is right for you) 
1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
Optional: Add a tsp of Honey for sweetness

Columbia Road Flower Market

Today we ventured away from West London to visit Columbia Road Flower Market. It's been quite a while since we last went East, so made the most of our day, visiting Spitalfields and stopping by at The Diner for a lovely (very calorific) brunch. At the flower market we picked up a lovely bunch of dark pink and cream long stem Roses, of which now sit pride of place on our dresser. I absolutely love having fresh flowers in our home, so this was the perfect place to stock up for the week. I'm kind of obsessed with Thistles, as well as the purple succulent plants, but we already have quite a few of those in our apartment, so had to hold off this time!

Photoshoot

Yesterday was one of the most satisfying experiences of my professional career. Working with a fantastic photographer and a wonderful team I worked on a shoot involving some amazing designer furniture and lifestyle products. I will be posting more from this shoot shortly and will be excited to share the outcome with you all.

Post January Update

So here's a quick update on whats been happening this January and onto this February:

Alex started his new job in the first week of Jan. He is loving it and working on a photo shoot as we speak. Literally couldn't be happier for him!

I have been working out a lot this month, doing Yoga every day, up until recently as I have been unwell. On top of this, I have also been doing the 30 day shred at least 3 times a week. I am totally feeling stronger, leaner and more focused since starting on this new regime.

We have been on a healthy eating mission and loving it still. It's something we hope to continue and will start sharing some of our favourite recipes soon.

I have been reflecting on myself a lot and aim to start working on some new exciting creative projects, to get back into things.

We are also now in the process of sorting our wardrobes out and are both on a mission to get the perfect basics wardrobe between us.

February brings a more positive outlook on life, as we strive to reach our goals. This month, in order to keep motivated, we both aim to look after our mind and body as much as possible, as well as each other.

DR

The winter months are really taking their toll and my skin is really suffering the effects of the cold, especially my lips and hands. I have been suffering from severe Chapped lips which has been awful and prevented me from wearing any of my favourite lipsticks. I have tried everything, Vaseline, Blistex, Burts Bees - nothing was doing the trick. Until I saw an advert for Dr Paw Paw which reminded me of a balm someone from work had picked up in Australia and had showed me months back, containing a similar formula of Fermented Papaya. From this moment, I had made my mind up I needed to get hold of this supposed 'Miracle Balm'. I managed to track down that it was being stocked in Harvey Nichols, which is a convenient walk away from my house. I slapped it on and lo and behold, a couple of days later my lips were pretty much back to normal! It seems to have done exactly what I wanted - the formula is very thick, so you don't need much, but it really does feel like it is nourishing and helping as soon as you apply it. It sinks in, but stays on your lips too, leaving them feeling moisturised and also protected. 



It's also worth noting, that as well as using on your lips, you can use it on your skin, cuticles, nails and even your hair. I used this on my chapped hands too, but as it is quite thick, I personally prefer using my trusty Super Moisturising Balance Me Hand Cream.
