1. Cupcake Treats

My lovely manager came back from her lunch break with a fresh made cupcake for me and the rest of our team. I had a lovely Vanilla and Orange flavour cake, which was delicious!

2. My New George Foreman

I don't know how I lived without my George Foreman. It's so quick and easy to cook meat and tastes lovely. It's also a lot more efficient than heating my entire oven to cook one chicken breast. Very pleased and impressed with my purchase.

3. Girls Night

My lovely friends from back home came to visit my new apparent this month. We had a lovely lasagne dinner, glasses of Prosecco and a brilliant catchup. It was so nice to see them, and I can't wait for to host my next dinner party.

4. Date Night

To celebrate two of Omar's friends' birthdays we headed out for a Date Night to Babucho, an Italian restaurant in town. We had a nice night of food and drinks, and catching up with friends.

5. My Grandma's Rings

I loved looking through my Grandma's jewellery, she had some lovely pieces. These four rings were my favourite and I've been passed down the two middle ones to look after and enjoy. Vintage at its best.

6. Babyliss Thermo Ceramic Rollers

I love curly hair, but it normally takes me forever to curl mine. After reading a few good reviews, I decided to treat myself to Babyliss Thermo Ceramic Rollers. They are simple to use and make curling my hair so much easier. Dedicated blog post on the way.

7. Breville Active Blend

With the weather getting warmer, there's nothing better than enjoying a nice cold drink and I love smoothies to help cool me down. I've been experimenting with frozen berries and ice cream. So tasty!

8. New Passport

I can finally leave the country! My old passport expired a few years ago and I haven't bothered getting it renewed as I wasn't going abroad anywhere. This year it's time for a holiday in the sun and a new passport. Can't wait to use it!

9. Goodbye Grandad

10 years and 1 day after my Grandma died, my Grandad sadly passed away. A brilliant man who loved us more than anything in the world. He will always be loved and missed. Thank you for being there for me for the past 23 years.

1. Girls' Night at the Full Monty

The Full Monty show is a doing a UK tour at the moment, and arrived at our local theatre last week. The girls from work and I have had tickets for ages, and we've been all been looking forward to it. I was a bit unsure about what to expect from the night. I've seen the film, but wasn't quite sure how the show would come across. It was far better than I'd ever imagined. Definitely a good show for a girls' night out.

2. Broadchurch

The first series of Broadchurch was amazing, I was addicted to every episode. I wasn't quite sure how the second series would follow on from such a dramatic ending, but it was brilliant. I'm now excited for series 3.

3. Post Exam Haul

I passed my exam! Therefore I needed a celebratory shopping trip. Read about my haul here.

4. Starbucks

This month was a time for treats. Starbucks to celebrate my last day of college and to calm pre-exam nerves.

5. I ran 3k!

This may not seem impressive to some people, but I don't know if I've ever ran 3k before. I'm building up to 5k and should hopefully manage it within a few weeks.

1. Back to College!

I've now started my sixth CIMA module and have my exam in 22 days. Very scary thought!

2. Late Christmas Presents from Omar

Although he'd already got me a Christmas, Omar decided to surprise me with a lovely pair of silver heart stud earrings. A lovely gift from a lovely boyfriend.

3. Finished Book 1 of my 2015 Reading Challenge

I finished My Side of Life, by Shane Filan. The first book of my 2015 challenge. Check out my review here

4. Used my cute little egg cup and spoon for the first time

Chris bought me these egg cups as a house warming gift ages ago, and I finally got round to making soft boiled eggs. The cups and spoons are so cute.

5. Back to the Gym and Dance

It's time to get fit and healthy. I've gone back to the gym, I'm watching what I eat and so far I've lost just under 5 lbs. Good start to the year.
