Life Lately – A Round Up

06/06/2015      2 Comments

I’m pretty sure I say this every month but where is the time going? How are we halfway through the year already? This year is barreling by so fast that I can barely keep up with it. I feel like I haven’t really achieved much of what I wanted to this year. Although, I’m not entirely sure what I wanted to achieve this year either. Hmmm. Anyway, as I’ve been a bit sporadic with my posts recently I thought I’d get back on track with a round-up. As always, the layout of this is inspired by the lovely Pip at Meet Me At Mikes.

Lojo Vs The World Life Lately

Making: juice/smoothies. Most mornings we have one for breakfast. We had cucumber, apple, lemon and ginger yesterday it was good. I don’t think that there is many recipes that I haven’t liked so far. I’m really pleased with our Breville Blend-Active.

Cooking: not a lot really. We’ve been super busy so haven’t really had a chance to make much. Hopefully I’ll get more chance now I’m trying to be more organised.

Drinking: lots and lots. I’ve been out quite a lot so it’s been a bit of an alcoholic time.

Reading: I’ve been reading The Gold Standard: Rules to Rule By by Ari Gold. Yes, that is a book by a fictional person but it’s brilliant. I’ll post a review soon.

Wanting: to shift some weight. I’ve let myself go a little bit recently and want to get back to feeling good about myself.

Looking: forward to see the Entourage film next week!

Playing: Kim Kardashian Hollywood on my phone. I’m obsessed. How embarrassing.

Deciding: what to do with my hair next.

Wishing: that I could win the Euromillions.

Enjoying: getting into this fitness malarkey. I’m in pain after training on Thursday night but it’s kind of good pain if that makes sense?

Waiting: for this face mask to dry. I have a papaya peel off on at the minute.

Liking: the weather being warmer.

Wondering: what colour to paint my nails later.

Loving: that I just pulled my whole face mask off in one go.

Pondering: potential colour schemes for the flat.

Considering: what my next move should be.

Watching: Entourage again in preparation for the film.

Hoping: that the Entourage film will be as good as I want it to.

Marvelling: at Tom’s recent sensible views on things.

Needing: to go and get in the bath to ease my poor muscles..

Smelling: Febreze Sleep Serenity Bedside Refresh Diffuser in Warm Milk and Honey. I’ve not really been sleeping properly so I thought I’d try this out in our room. It smells dreamy. No pun intended.

Wearing: These Adidas Stan Smith trainers
all of the time. I’ve pretty much lived in them since I bought them.

Following: the Nike+ Running app couch to 5K training.

Noticing: that going downstairs hurts my bum and legs more than going up them.

Knowing: that the more I do the easier it’ll get.

Thinking: about my hectic week next week.

Admiring: my lovely bestie, Hannah.

Sorting: out my next trip home.

Buying: furniture. Well planning on it. I haven’t actually bought any yet.

Getting: ready to take on the world. I only have two free evenings between tomorrow and next Sunday!

Bookmarking: lots of recipes I want to try.

Disliking: the trouble I’ve been having sleeping recently.

Opening: the windows because it’s been quite warm.

Giggling: at Ari Gold. I love him

Feeling: alright, you know.

Snacking: on fruit, I’m trying to make better decisions.

Coveting: a dreamy office space.

Wishing: that I could make things happen quicker than they are.

Hearing: a lot of Dashboard Confessional, Andrew McMahon and Four Year strong. i just can’t turn them off.

There we go. That’s been me recently. You’re all caught up. Now, let’s go June!

Kisses,

lojo

    Brilliant round up! Love things like this! Mmm, the smoothies sound a good idea! I’m not doing so good on the cooking either- been away for the weekend and just had a ready meal- bad!!!!

      I’ll be honest it makes me happy it’s not just me. Tonight is the first night this week that I’m straight home after work and I am so excited just to sit on the sofa! Having a busy social life isn’t a bad problem to have I guess!
