We officially had our first Christmas dinner this weekend and I LOVED IT! I must say Christmas is my favourite time of year with all the decorations, movies, Christmas markets, dinner with friends, mulled wine.. and so much more. The best feeling is coming home after a day of work and seeing my living room with the fire on, Christmas tree lights on, ready to unwind, perfection.
Speedy Dinner of the Week
Diving into speedy dinner of the week and I’m glad to say, we are back! I have been naughty and slacking recently because life was just life-ing but this week I made the time to make a delicious speedy dinner that hit all the spots.
Outfit of the Week
This week we are journeying to H&M and staying on the party wear given upcoming Christmas parties! I loved these pants because it’s most definitely something different for me but it just added that sparkle I wanted. I paired it up with a strapless crop top and a faux leather jacket to complete the look.




Find of the Week
I asked over on my instagram about ‘find of the week’ and one of the most common things was my everyday jewellery.
My go-to everyday earrings that I wear to work, to the gym, to dinners, to nights out and sometimes even to sleep are these gorgeous pair of hoops from Astrid & Miyu.
Workout of the Week
This weeks workout of the week has actually been my workout of the week for the last 5+ years - any guesses?
I have been including 1Rebel in my weekly routine for as long as I can remember. I especially rely on these classes when I have zero motivation to programme my workouts or when it’s freezing cold and I don’t want to leave my bed.
I have the best time at these classes because not only do I push myself but I have made some amazing friendships from them and I look forward to sweating it out with my pals.
I know going to classes on your own can be quite daunting so if you ever fancy trying it, drop me your email and I will send you a referral link whereby you get £5 off your class and we can workout together!
Thought for the week ahead
I’m so grateful for this time of the year where you can create memories with friends and family. I know Christmas can be a challenging time for many of you for various reasons and I just want you to know that if you are struggling, my messages are always open if you want to talk.
On that note, have a lovely week ahead.
