A night at the movies

If you're anything like me, come the second week of payday you're as poor as a pauper and have to stay in and stare at the four walls for the remaining of the month. So when Blinkbox got in touch with me and asked if I was interested in reviewing some films, I jumped at the chance. To watch movies online is a great way to save some money. Even better if you can invite a bunch of friends round and spilt the cost! Along with some cinema worthy snacks - pizza and chips and dip for me - it can make staying in on a friday night a lot more exciting.

After have a long look online - there were hundreds to choose from - we finally settled on The Watch. We'd missed it at the cinema and after all who doesn't love Ben Stiller? It couldn't have been simpler to use and before long we were snuggled under the covers with belly laughs. Perfect friday night in. Who says you need to spend a bucket load of cash to have a good time?

Have you tried Blinkbox yet?

Easy Peasy Weightwatchers pizza recipe

My all time favourite food is pizza. I can happily eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sadly it's not very weightwatcher's friendly. This is a great alternative and you can have whatever topping you like. I much prefer to load up on vegetables - Butternut Squash is my new favourite ingredient.




What you'll need:
1 pack of Weightwatchers tortillas depending on how many people you're feeding.
Allsorted vegetables - I used butternut squash, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes.
30 grams of grated mozzarella
1 tablespoon of tomato puree

One pizza is 7 propoints.

 

001: Throw all the  chopped vegetables into a roasted tray. You can add some fry light if you want but in my experience the juice from the tomatoes is more than enough. Roast them for aroun 15-20 minutes.
























002: While the vegetables are roasting, measure out a tablespoon of tomato puree. Spead it around the tortilla to the edges.

 

003: Spread the vegetables in which ever order you prefer.

 

004: Sprinkle the cheese on and stick in the oven at 200 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Make sure you keep an eye on it as it may take shorter because the oven's already been on for the roasted vegetables!





























Ta-da! Serve with a side of salad to make for a more filling dinner. I just have it on it's own for lunch.  It's much more exciting than a boring sandwich. Let me know what combos you try!

Hanging on the telephone

Outfit:
Black sheer blouse with heart cut outs: Primark
Black skinny brocade trousers: Primark
Black and white tweed coat: Next
Black and white spotted pony skin loafers: Next
Black cameo brooch: Bootsale
Statement large gold flower earrings: Topshop
Kate Spade eyelash iphone cover: c/o Three Mobile
Pink pout: Topshop All About Me - Dream Team birthday present :)

When the lovely people in charge of the PR at Three mobile asked me I wanted to review a case for my iPhone, I jumped at the chance. I am quite literally one of the clumiest people around so a case is on the agenda if I want to keep my phone intact. I picked this one as I thought it was a little fun and as we use our phones everyday we might as well make a statement eh? Lots of people seem to coomment on this one. It feels so solid which is very handy if you drop your phone after a few too many glasses of wine. Moi? Never!

This is my favourite outfit at the minute. Probably because I brought these trousers last year and can now fit in them. Thank you Weightwatchers! It's pretty simple but I think the shoes kinda make it. I like shoes that are a little different - who wants to wear black pumps all the time?!

I'd like to say a massive thank you to Lauren for sending me this - it arrived the very next day and I was extremely impressed.

Do you like to switch up your phone cases too?
