Irresistible

Last night I went to see Charlie & The Chocolate Factory The Musical at Drury Lane Theatre London. The reviews I had seen before going weren't too inspiring so I kind of went with a very open mind and no expectations. I can't believe it now - why would people review it badly?!?! It's seriously magically theatrically incredible!!! Everything from the chocolate fountain to the glass lift is in the production and these iconic parts of the film are done so well on stage that it makes the story come alive right in front of your eyes. I'd love to go back and see it again! Those children are very talented, and WOW Willy Wonka is a perfect casting. 

I also went to dance last night right before the theatre - little rushed, and I arrived at the theatre all sweaty and red, but hey ho I'm so glad I went! My teacher is so supportive and it makes me want to constantly better myself as a dancer. Realistically, to better myself I need to be going to a ballet class at least once a week to help my turn out and basic techniques, then to my jazz at least twice a week and then a yoga class for flexibility once a week as well as the gym twice or three times a week to do weight training. That would be ideal. BUT, work somehow loves to get in the way! URGH. Growing up, working, living in the 'real' world really does suck sometimes. It makes me really want to go back and study for a little longer!!! (hmmm...)

I'm going to a Pilates class tonight at Sweaty Betty after work which should be good. I'll miss not going to dance today - but I'll go again Thursday if I can!! Just had my bowl of goodness and now onto my morning coffee, lovely!

Everythings OK

It's a lazy Saturday. I feel good. Still in PJ's. Coffee in hand. Life is good.

I've also seen something today that has opened my eyes a little. And it made me feel good. I am one lucky girl with fantastic friends. I hope my friends know how much I'd do for them. I'd give them my life. 

Living in London is too much fun. (I know I don't suit red...It wasn't my colour preference)

I love having visitors in London but I've also realised I have some incredible friends here now too. I am slowly building a life in London, and trust me it's a good one! There's never a dull moment in the big smoke.

My beautiful girls. Loving my leopard print dress. Every girl should own a little leopard print!

Listen to this it will make you smile. I hope!

I'm not a fan of the cheesy dancing and faces but other than that, these lot are very talented!

Naked and Famous

Happy St.George's Day all...It's a Monday, the sun is shining and I'm holding on to the hope that this week will be sunny, smiley and lots of fun! 

I spent my evening drooling over all the items I wish to order from Nasty Gal. Yet I don't think spending £400 on clothes right now is quite plausible. Although part of me would argue otherwise...fashion does demand my purse and the giving up of more important things...like bills and food! But I don't really have the money to spend right now. So all is on my wish list instead! Although I may order some new sunnies... The House Of Harlow Chelsea Shades in Leopard as they are just to die for!

How incredible? Nasty Gal is my new favourite online shop...Check it out here

 Anyway, as usual I've woken up to a large mug of coffee and a few episodes of 90210 first season. Living the life. I have dance this evening, back in London town. I'm ready to work my tired ass off, it's been far too long and I can feel the affects already! It's April, nearing May and I want to start booking holidays and festivals, sorting summer out and getting a bod worth flaunting on the beach. Wish me luck.

Sweet life

I am spending my Sunday baking, eating, coffee drinking & present wrapping. How delightful!

I collect mugs. Yes I'm THAT cool.

I have made two cakes already. One beautiful victoria sponge for my mothers birthday tomorrow then a small sugar-free, wholemeal flour cake for me! I am filling the both of them with fruit, jam and maybe a little buttercream!

Life is too short to not enjoy cake!

Elle Fanning looking sweet.

Whats your favourite cake?

You possess rare beauty my love

Morning all. I hope everyone is well and happy. I have woken up, had a beautiful bowl of oatmeal and PB and lots of dried fruit. I am sat here in bed reading the April Elle UK and drinking coffee. Life is bliss, I must remind myself this.

I had one of my best friends 21st birthday yesterday. We had a brilliant time, I do hope she loved her presents & party! Lizzie & I bought her some beautiful Thomas Sabo earrings

How beautiful they are!!

Check them out

And we also created a big bag of pick & mix sweets for her, choosing only her favourites. They looked so good I was tempted to get some myself. But I go to the cinema tomorrow so I saved myself!!

I've also spent my morning drooling over all the incredible new films coming out. It's making me terribly excited yet very envious that I'm still not in one! One day I will be...got to be positive!! 

I've decided to create some morning affirmations which I shall say to myself each day:

Every day in every way I will be happy.

Every day in every way I will be healthy.

Every day in every way I will find some enjoyment & laughter.

Every day in every way I will make my dream a reality.

Snow White and the Huntsman looks magical. My oh my I'm excited about this one! Bring on June 1st!!!

As I love Tim Burtons style and I am in fact in love with Mr. Johnny Depp - I expect this film to be brilliantly funny and creative! Oh and the cast is just lovely!!

And last but definitely not least, I am desperate to see Now Is Good starring one of my all time favourite young actresses Dakota Fanning. This trailer makes me cry so I can't even imagine what the film will do to me! I find Dakota fantastical to watch on screen. Everything she's ever done, she's done well. And I'm proud to say, although she's younger than me, she is one of my idols.
