OOTD: More dungarees & a stripy tee!

Now I know I’ve already done an ‘outfit of the day’ with dungarees & a stripy tee a month or so ago but come on, this combo never gets old! 

I love how comfy (but on trend) dungarees are and I’ve always had a soft spot for a stripy tee, my stripes collection is becoming quite vast. 

Although we’ve had a few quite warm days there is still that Spring freshness in the air so these are a great wardrobe staple for this season.

I’ll leave as much information about each piece as I can, enjoy 🙂

  • Dungarees, Boohoo £12
  • Stripy tee, Primark £1
  • Blush pink trainers, Primark £10
  • Pink choker, Boohoo £3.99

I am loving these blush pink trainers, its one of my favourite colours and these suede effect trainers are so comfy and cute. They look cool with the dungarees turned up a bit too.

& you can’t got wrong with a bargain £1 stripy tee!

I hope you liked this post! See you soon x

Until next time, 

Roseanne 🙂

Starting up a Youtube channel! 

So, Me & my twin sister decided to take the plunge and start our own Youtube channel and we have called it ‘Roseanne & Sarah’. We both love watching Youtubers online and have our own blogs…

OOTD: It’s all about dungarees 👖

As you’ll know, if  you’ve seen my recent post about my Spring clothes haul (you can check that out here) I recently bought a pair of dunagrees, these are really ‘in’ at the moment and I love mine from Boohoo, cool and comfy. Seen as they are new I thought it would be rude not to make them the focus of an outfit of the day. I’ll include as much info as I can about the clothes included 🙂

Let’s take a look at the outfit 🙆 

  • Skinny dungarees, Boohoo £12
  • Long sleeved striped top, H&M £12.99
  • Black longline bomber jacket, Boohoo £10
  • Choker set of 3, H&M £5.99
  • Floral pin badge Set of six, Primark £3
  • Black high top Converse Allstars, Office £42 

This outfit is so comfy but really stylish too and I love the little details like the choker with the gold detailing and the embroidered floral badges! Got to love a bit of customization and making an outfit more you. 

Let me know what you think 👍

This warm weather is awesome. The sun is beating down as I write this, love it! What clothing items are you enjoying this Spring?

Until next time, 

Roseanne 🙂

Slimming World update: Lets do this! 

I’m feeling quite motivated at the moment, I’m in the zone 👊

This week in class I lost 0.5 lb and your probably thinking that’s not alot! But as they say a loss is a loss. I couldn’t get to class last week due to family problems and we had a few days of bad eating at the weekend so I was going into the unknown a bit this week having not known how I did last week.

I tried really hard this week to stay on track as since January I’ve been doing quite well with only a couple of small gains that have been evened out by big losses or maintaining so I didn’t want to spoil it, so as I say I was happy with that loss no matter how little it is. 

I’ve put lots into place this week to really boost my weight loss because I do really need to start sticking to the plan 100% because it really does work!

So what have I put into place this week you ask? 

  • I have decided to no longer have a treat after class on a Thursday night. Class finishes at 9 and by the time I get home and order sed takeaway treat (because that’s usually what it is) It’s gone 10 and that’s just too late to enjoy it really. I will be saving my treat for Saturday night when I’ll really enjoy and appreciate it 👍
  • Instead of a treat (as mentioned above) I am going to have a dinner I can eat at Slimming World once I’ve been weighed. This will fill me up & stop me being so hungry after class. Here’s what I had this week:

Low fat houmous (1.5 syns per tablespoon) with carrot & cucumber crudites, mini multiseed thins (1.5 syns each) and Quorn cocktail sausages (0.5 syn each) Hula hoop pufts (3 syns a bag)Obviously this isn’t 100% free but it’s just something tasty to have, still a little treat and so easy too. (+ with some added Speed foods!!)

  • Keeping up with my food diaries and my journal.

I got this little Slimming World journal a couple of weeks ago and it’s so good for keeping you on track. When I first started Slimming World I filled out a food diary every week without fail, however in the last year I havnt been so good and once it isn’t habit anymore it’s easy to not bother! I find this journal much easier too as it’s not a piece of paper I can lose and it has cool features like inspirational quotes, a weekly meal planner, a graph to track your weight loss, food diaries (a whole page for each day) etc.

The journals are only available from class (I think) and are £4.95. 

  • Getting prepared!! When I got in from class I sat down with my ‘Little book of lunches’ SW book and planned what I will be having next week. I get so hungry at work and thats when I snack on naughty things so getting prepared is always good. Looking through the books also reminds you of how much delicious stuff you can cook/make/prepare on SW, so goooood!

  • Food shopping! I definatly won’t be skipping this, this week as it always makes for a better week when the fridge is stocked with deliciousness! I mean seriously, is there a better sight than a full fridge, no, no there isn’t!! We also stopped off at Asda on the way home from class to grab a few bits, here’s what I got…

Hartleys no added sugar jelly (0.5 syn per pot)

Chicken & sweetcorn noodle mugshot (Free!)

Strawberries (Free!) & only £1

Bakery fresh wholemeal rolls (Hex B)

    • Having a target or weekly goal is also great,  again the journal’s great for this as you write in your weekly weight loss goal. I’m only 1.5 lb away from having lost 1 stone, hurrah! Then I’ll only have another stone left until my target 🤞 I would like to lose more than that this week if I can, maybe 2.5 or 3, but getting to that 1 stone would be fab regardless.
    • Don’t look at the cake!! My work is so bad for cake in the staff room so I’m just going to make sure I have plenty of SW friendly sweet treats for work & just think, do I really want that cake?! (YES!!) More than I want to lose weight? (NO!!) I need to appreciate the treats when I have them, don’t deprive yourself that doesn’t work but also realise that you need to have a bit of control because you won’t lose weight otherwise. 

    If there was a diet where you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight we’d all be on it, Slimming World is as close as you can get to that!! Take your control back 👊

    I hope you’ve found this blog post helpful, you can do it!! 

    I’m looking forward to a chilled out weekend & an awesome, super focused week! Let’s do this!! 

    Until next time, 

    Roseanne 🙂

    Spring Wishlist/Shopping

    As promised I’m here with my Spring inspired wishlist! I thought I would combine this with my recent mini clothes haul since  much of what I picked up is current and Spring inspired anyway. 

    I’ll include pictures of the items from each shop alongside the pieces I bought myself. I’ll pop the prices and stuff alongside the items I bought✌

    We’ll start with Primark…

    These shoes are so pretty, simple but classic and for the bargin price of £2!! Can’t go wrong. I love the gold detail too.

    These choker packs were £2 each! I love the black ones at the top especially with the rose design. The ones in the bottom picture are a bit different, these are really pretty and delicate. 

    H & M

    This stripy top was £12.99. It’s a really nice basic long sleeved t shirt and will look great with jeans or dungarees.

    I thought this top was really cute. I love the blue flecks in the top and the cute embroidered writing and pictures on it. 

    The glass is always half full 🥃

    This 3 set of chokers was £5.99. These are really cool with the gold detailing and chain. I also love that this comes with a plain black one which I’ll get lots of wear out of. The gold one will look great as part of a dressier outfit too. 

    Boohoo

    I’ve been looking to get some dungarees for ages so I was chuffed when I saw these skinny ones. These were £12 with free next day delivery as I’ve paid for Boohoo premier. These are super comfy. 

    So those are some of my purchases and some things I’ve been admiring on the shelves and online. 

    I hope you’ve enjoyed this post! Let me know if you did 😊

    Until next time, 

    Roseanne 🙂

    OOTD: Spring casual 🌸

    I like doing outfit blog posts, mainly because I love shopping and being nosy at what’s on trend and “in” at the moment. (That makes me sound old!) 

    There are a few clothing items I’m hoping to buy this month ready for spring so I may also do a ‘Spring fashion wishlist’ post soon too, so be sure to keep an eye out for that ☺

    I’ve tried to include as much information as I can about the clothes in this outfit, including the shop and price (If I can remember!!)

    Let’s go! 

    Outfit

    • High top Converse All stars in Black, Office £42.00
    • High waisted ripped jeans, Boohoo £18
    • Dusky pink jumper, Primark 
    • Black velvet choker Set of 3, Primark £3
    • Camo bomber jacket, Primark £10

    I hope you like this outfit. I’m very much a high street shopper. It’s a super casual look but still on trend (music to my ears) I love the combination of dusky pink and the khaki green of the Camo jacket, they go so well together.

    I was so chuffed with the bomber jacket. I had been eyeing this up for a little while in several different Primarks and it was originally £23, which tbf is still a bargin for a mid thickness jacket perfect for spring, but I waited and I’m so pleased I did as it ended up being £10 in the sale!! Love a sale bargin 👊

    Keep your eyes peeled 👀 for that ‘Spring fashion wishlist’ post coming soon 🌸

    Until next time, 

    Roseanne 🙂

    OOTD: Night out casual 💋

    I had drinks with my work friends last night so I thought I would do a blog post of my outfit and make up look.

    The jumper is a black and white mix from H & M. 

    The black ankle grazer skinny jeans are from Primark.

    The black choker comes from a set of three, again from Primark.

    I pinned a little badge to my jumper to add a bit detail.

    Red goes really well with black and the little rose is really cool. I matched my lipstick with this too and they both added a pop of colour to the look⚘🌷

    My bag is from Primark too! It’s black with a suede effect flap on the front with gold detailing. 

    The black faux suede shoes with gold detailing are also from Primark.
    I love how well these accessories go with the outfit and with each other.

    Mini Slimming World food Haul 🍴

    I’ve grabbed quite a few different and new Slimming World friendly products this recently during our weekly food shops so I thought I would fill you guys in. 

    Let’s start with savory…

    Butternut squaffles

    These are so tasty and a great alternative to high syn waffles and chips. Butternut squash is an S too which is great and it means a less carb loaded meal which is nice to have sometimes. 

    Skin on Sweet potatoe chips 

    Sweet potatoes are quite hard to cut up and I was feeling a bit lazy haha. These are super tasty and a yummy alternative to normal potatoe chips.

    Courgette lasagne sheets 

    Again these were a nice alternative to pasta lasagne sheets and are an S which is even better. These can just be layered inbetween the usual mince and cheese sauces without any need to be pre cooked! Much quicker, less faffing about.

    Heck chicken sausages

    These sausages are so yummy and only 0.5 syn for 2. I know it may seem wierd as they are chicken but they make a nice alternative to pork sausages and have a really nice flavour. The Italia ones with mozzarella & tomato are my favourites.

    Porky lights sausages 

    These are so tasty and only 0.5 syn each which is awesome for pork sausages. These are so good! Their only downfall is the price so I try to grab them when they are on offer.

    Hula hoop pufts, ready salted

    These crisps are really nice and great as a snack. They are 3 syns a bag which is really low for crisps.

    And sweet…

    Muller light Yoghurt 

    Completely free and so yummy. An excellent dessert, snack or addition to a packed lunch.

    Fibre one squares 

    These fibre one treats are only 4 syns each, and trust me they are worth it! The chocolate brownies in particular are as good (if not better) than many cafe brownies. They also come in Lemon drizzle and salted caramel flavour. 

    Chocolate coated rice cake bars 

    These are a great chocolate fix and I love having these as a snack at work. These are 4.5 syns per bar. I also have these in chocolate orange flavour which is my favourite.
    And of course…lots of fresh fruit and veg! This is probably the bulk of our weekly shop but so worth it and super good for you. We always have apples, Pears, strawberries & raspberries (when available) and lots of salad veg such as toms, peppers, cucumber etc as these are my favourites to eat.

    I’m going to do a post soon with some yummy Slimming World recipes so if you liked this post keep your eyes peeled for that 👍

    Until next time, 

    Roseanne 🙂

    Happy body, happy mind! 🛀🙏😌

    Hi! I’m back, it’s been too long (Over a week!!) I feel like I’ve had no time at the moment so I took this evening out to have a bit of ‘me time’ and to actually write a blog post. 

    It’s really important to take time out to relax especially if you feel like things are getting on top of you. Do things that you enjoy but havn’t been able to do, preferably something stress free and relaxing. Life can be busy and chaotic and we often put ourselves last, I think we are all guilty of this from time to time.

    So what do I like to do to chill out? I love a good pamper. I’ve really got into bath/skin/body products recently and I just love an opportunity to soak and freshen up. 

    I started by running myself a lovely hot bath and getting out my products.

    For my bath: 

    • Lush ‘Flamingo’ bubble bar
    • Lush ‘Butterbear’ bath bomb
    • Radox ‘Feel pampered’ bath soak with shea butter and ginger

    When I’m in the bath I like to pamper myself further with some lovely skincare…

    Skincare/face/body

    • Witch ‘Naturally clear bursting beads’ face wash
    • Vasanti ‘Brighten up!’ Enzymatic face rejuvinator
    • Superdrugs fruity ‘Orange and satsuma’ shower gel
    • Zoella ‘Pretty polished’ sugar scrub 
    • Nspa beauty rituals ‘Radiance boosting’ face mask 
    • Zoella ‘Creamy madly dreamy’ body lotion

    After I’d scrubbed with my sugar scrub (this feels lovely rubbed into dry skin and then rinsed off) washed myself & washed my face I then applied my face mask and left this on for 15 minutes. 

    I love to wash my hair when I am having a bath too for a completely clean and fresh feeling. Some of my favourite shampoos and conditioners are…

    Shampoos and conditioners 

    • Superdrug Anti dandruff ‘Classic care’ shampoo
    • Aussie ‘Miracle moist’ shampoo
    • Argan oil ‘hydrating’ hair mask
    • Kebelo ‘Clarifying’ shampoo (for use once or twice a month, a nice treat!)

    Going back to the products in the picture above, I love the Witch face wash and spot products and they have always worked for me going back to my mid teens. I’ve had a few breakouts recently which is why I re purchased the face wash and spot stick, I would 100% recommend their products. 

    (Fingers crossed the face mask doesn’t make me break out even more!!)

    Once I had washed off the mask I used my Vasanti face rejuvinator. When I’m out of the bath I always apply moisturiser to my face and today I even used my Zoella body lotion. I love the scent of her Creamy madly dreamy body lotion as it is from her original collection, my fave!

    Just to mention, I also love candles and wax melts to help me relax so I popped one of my Crumble magic wax melts into my burner. Today I went for Raspberry lemonade that smells so fruity, fizzy and delicious. 

    One final pamper product that I used was to give my feet a treat!  I used my foot pedi to get rid of any dry skin, then I used the foot scrub and finally I applied the foot lotion, ahhh.

    Ps. A snack and a refreshing drink is always a winner too…

    Last but not least, I hadn’t done my gel nails for a while so I thought this would be the perfect way to finish off my pamper evening, especially when I can do it sitting in front of the TV in my pjs! Perfection 👌

    I am loving my Sensationail gel nail kit so much and I went for the raspberry/burgundy shade that came in the set, it’s called ‘Miss behave’.

    Happy body, happy mind.

    Until next time,

    Roseanne 🙂
