I'm 99% sure that this isn't the first time you've heard this today and it certainly won't be the last but... How on earth is it June already! I feel like I blinked and we're halfway to Christmas almost! ;-0Before I share June's goals, I'm going to give you a May goals update which is a bit of a mixed bag if I'm honest and I'm quite disappointed in myself as I didn't do everything I wanted to do...I'm most disappointed with the fact I didn't manage to achieve my weight loss and steps goals because I didn't even get close!

My Instant Pot Chicken and Rice recipe is one that I've been promising to share for a couple of months now but I've never gotten around to it as it isn't a 'pretty' meal that looks good in photos. We have a variation of this recipe every week and every week, I take a photo of my bowl before I tuck in but so far, I just haven't been able to do the meal justice at all!I've given up trying now so I thought I'd just go with what I have and hope you have faith that although it doesn't look amazing, it absolutely tastes it!Before I start with the recipe though, I do want to … [Read more...]

We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)1) My favourite way to start these weekly posts is with a bunch of bargain flower and … [Read more...]

Clean, fresh bedding is amazing and worth the faff of changing the bedding but imagine how much better it would be if you freshen up your mattress at the same time as changing the bedding!I have no idea if this is something that everyone does already when they change their bedding but I mentioned this to one of my friends last week and they've never done this so I thought I'd share my tips on how to freshen up your mattress today.This is something that … [Read more...]
