Caring is Sharing....

So week 18 on Weight Watchers and I have gained 1lb - so annoying! And I have really struggled this last week - I don't know if it's all food and weight loss related but I think stress of work and what is or might happen with our jobs is also getting me down a little too I think. And what do I do when I feel low? I comfort eat of course. I will be really good all day up until after dinner and I sit down on the sofa and reflect on the day and life and then that is where I eat the naughty stuff.

After being inspired by someone posting up some lovely mint Aero balls I thought I would do a bit of 'Share bag' investigation....

This also helped and stopped me from eating far too much.....

These work out as 9 for 4pp

Yorkie Giant Buttons 

These work out quiet heavy on the points front....

1x = 1pp

2x = 2pp

3x = 4pp

4x = 5pp

5x = 6pp

Milkybar Giant Buttons

5x = 2pp

10x = 3pp

15x = 5pp

At this point I want to thank everyone on the WW UK Support group, if it wasn't for all of you then I wouldn't have been able to stay focused on WW and I would of also have had a massive hole in my pocket too!!!

I tried making some pancakes this week using a recipe that someone had posted up on the support group. They tasted so good but didn't look very well presented! When I get a good picture of them looking neat and presentable I will add it to a recipe page... 

You can see what I mean here...

This week I also had a look back at some old blogs that I had done and my word have my hands got smaller! Before I saw this post I knew I had lost some weight on my hands as my rings were getting looser but I didn't realise how much weight my hands had lost. Maybe it's because you see your own hands everyday and you don't always stand and stare in the mirror at yourself everyday. Well, I definitely don't! Normally its the shortest amount of time possible as I am rushing around getting things done and myself ready for work. You can see this post HERE

I have kept up again on making and preparing my lunches...

(this was the soup I made the other week 0pp :) Recipe found HERE )

I have been trying out new toppings for my porridge....

(This is a trail mix on top of it - recipe found here....)

(Oat so simple original porridge 3pp, Skimmed milk 1pp & Trail mix 1pp - TOTAL 5PP)

And having some yummy dinners:

Ummm.... Chicken Korma....

Hope your weeks have gone well too :) 

What was the hardest thing you had to face?....

...500 more to go....

Hello all!

So, as you may remember from reading THIS POST, I decided that I would do a 'give away' at 5,000 page views.

We are nearly there.... 500 more views to go to get there.

So to 'spur' you on in spreading the word of Mrs O, I thought I would give you a little spoiler on what the give away may be....

It is a favourite of many beauty Youtubers and bloggers.... And it has featured on one of my tutorials

Can any of you guess what it may be?.....

Remember, to check out my latest video HERE.

Anyway, keep viewing and commenting :)

Love, Mrs O x

Conceeeeelarrrr

A few weeks ago you may remember me going and buying some new make up...

 

I would usually use Bare Minerals all the time, but I have decided to switch to a cheaper way of doing my make up atm to help my pocket out and to help me save some money but also to see if these cheaper products do really work.

 

So I thought that I would do my first review on these products focusing on a concealer. This one is from 'Collection' (from Superdrug) (used to be called Collection 2000) and it is called Lasting Perfection and I went for the shade 'Light'. AND it was ONLY £3.99 - bargain!

 

 

I have always had dark baggs or circles under neath my eyes and so it takes a lot for me to be impressed by a concealer. However, this has really worked. It stays on (shock shock!) AND it does actually conceal and is not very obvious at all that it is on.  So, all in all it ticks all the boxes. It is supposed to be 16hr which I don't know is true or not as I don't tent to wear make up for that long a day but I think it would last that long.

 

To also make this blog a little more worth while I thought that I would do a mini tutorial on how I apply my concealer - well this one at least.

 

At first, I always used to think that you would put your concealer on after your base / foundation. However, I have now learnt the trick of putting it on first to get a plain base for the rest of your make up.

 

So, after I have done all my creams (I will do another little tutorial/blog on that at another stage) I then put on my concealer. With this concealer I dot it under my eyes and into the cracks/side of my eye and then I put some on my eyelid too.

 

 

Yes, it does look a little scary!

I then dab it into my skin using a finger. I don't smudge - I dab!

And it then looks like this......

(Sorry for the evil picture!)

And once I have put the rest of my make up on it looks even better AND I look a little more presentable to meet the world!

Heheeee silly pose at the end. 

Hope you enjoyed this post. It's a first for me. 

Would you like to see more tutorials or reviews? Or both?....

Love, Mrs O x
