So, as I said in one of my other posts, I really want to
do two separate posts for my favorites and Harry’s favorites so, this post is
all about the things I’ve been loving in April.
Deciding what things to put into a post all about my favorites can be quite difficult, especially as, because it’s a blog post rather than a youtube video,
I don’t want it to go on forever so I've limited it for now to 5 things.
Sometimes I think it's not enough but others I wonder how I'm going to find 5 new
things I've been loving every month, but here are my top 5 for April!
1. Game
of Thrones. What can I say about this one? Sam and I were really late to the
game with GOT. We had been talking about watching it forever but it was only
really when we swapped from Virgin to Sky in February that we started watching
it, and boy was we hooked! We were watching three or four episodes a night
some nights but then would go a week without watching one because of Sam’s
shifts, and no one wants to commit the ultimate sin of watching ahead without
their partner. We got all caught up just after the first episode of season 8
aired and I’m getting really frustrated with having to wait to find out what is
happening next. I think I might have to invest in the books and give them a
read when its all over!
2. Jordans
Skinny Syrup.
So, as you all know one of my goals for 2019 was to lose some weight. I faffed around for a couple of months and then mid-March I decided I needed help, so I joined slimming world. It hasn’t all been smooth for me and I still struggle with my sweet tooth some days but Jordans Skinny Syrups definitely help! My favorite and the first one I got is definitely the Mint Choc. Anybody who knows me knows that if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be Mint Choc Chip ice cream and its something I've really been missing on slimming world, especially with the warmer weather coming so when I found this in TK Maxx I was excited to try but also skeptical. IT IS AMAZING. I mix it into my 0%fat yoghurts and mix with some berries or I microwave a choc brownie fiber one bar for 30 seconds and have the yogurt mix with that. I also have the cinnamon vanilla syrup and it really helps with the sweet tooth!
3. Fibre
one popcorn bars. This is another slimming world one but more in the way that I
wouldn’t have discovered these without slimming world and I now honestly think
that I have eaten one almost every day in April – I use it as my Healthy Extra
B mostly and eat it as a morning snack after my fruit and yogurt. They come in
two flavors (as far as I know) Milk chocolate and peanut butter and I don’t
have a favorite flavor honestly, they are both beautiful!
4. Grey’s
Anatomy. I have watched a lot of TV this month. Feeling tired all month and
being really busy has left me sitting in front of the TV looking for something to
watch and I’m now finally on season 15 of Greys! I again was really late to the
bandwagon with this one – I think I watched a couple of episodes of the spin-off private practice when I was at Uni but it wasn’t really until maternity
leave that I decided to give Greys a go and I was obsessed. I binged the first
12 seasons then just kind of forgot about it. This month I have watched almost
every single episode. I’m halfway through season 15 and I don’t want it to
end!
5. Hello
fresh. I know Hello Fresh is hyped up a lot, especially by influencers on
YouTube, which coincidentally how I first heard about it. I told Sam about it
and he looked into it and we decided to give it a go. We haven’t looked back.
The meals are beautiful and work well with just a few adjustments for my Slimming
World. It’s also convenient for us as we don’t always have time to go out and
do a food shop and we get to eat loads of different foods! We pay 29.99 per
week for three meals for two people and at first, it seemed a little expensive
but now we wouldn’t be without it!
I love it that TK Maxx bargains have come to the rescue for you! I actually see these in there quite a lot and have always wondered if they taste nice, might well try them now!
ReplyDeleteAlso, good on you with the giving it a go. My sweet tooth really does make me carry as much guilt as it does weight, it's good you're trying to get it in check. Xx
