Saturday Morning Post/How I spend my Saturdays

Hello, here is my new week Saturday Morning post and I don’t want to tempt fate, but I am well, I think moving today and see my life changing and I cannot wait. Not going to say too much as I do not want to jink it either , but yes it could well and truly be moving day and I even prayed just now hoping it will be. I love my home town London and going back home into London has been something I have been wanting for a long while.

Plus I get to be with my new love and that gives me such a hug and cannot wait for my life to change.

So Saturday’s, they are to me a day of extra rest and taking it extra easy. Its days like these where I don’t want to be rushed or pestered just left alone to enjoy my first day of the weekend and be with myself and spending time sometimes talking with friends or my new love.

Now I love watching youtube and creating content too, so if you have not visited my Youtube channel as of yet, then please click here to access it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUDFIqjVKLy7NhtcR6Hy0Tg

And thank you to those who have followed me on my channel, other sites and other blogs, it really means a lot.

So my favourite meal for a Saturday is often a takeaway same as Friday’s but where I do something a bit different compared to during the week and I think I am going to see if I can treat myself to a pizza today, with some Garlic bread and a can of coke, but we shall see how the day evolves as I just am ready to be in my new home and have a place I can call my own again.

I am also going to film my Try on video today and will do this once I have had my coffee and I do have another few items to unbox so willl film this too.

I may be working at a holiday camp again soon, the one I used to go to as a kid in Clacton as I loved it there, but does depend on Lockdown, and if I do I will let you know and come down and visit. It is a lovely holiday camp and was my favourite part of my childhood in the summer and will always love it there so hope that happens and yes a holiday abroad too.

So am I ready for Lockdown to be removed?

Yes, absolutley, it is being able to go to a theatre again and I am desperate to go to a musical festival again and go to a football match. I love having things at the weekend especially to look forward to not every weekend as said because to me they are a day of rest and recuperation, and going to the cinema, I mean who does not want that?

So I hope you to have a relaxing weekend and see you in the next blog.

Fashion Look Book/New at Amazon/My Staple pieces

Hello and many thanks for visiting my site today. Each week I like to do a Fashion look book and have been looking on one of my favourite sites, Amazon to find some new pieces I want to add to my collection for this year.

I do have many staple pieces and here are my choices for this weeks post.

Footwear: Ladies Faux Fur Grip Sole Winter Warm Ankle Womens.

There are many colours and have added this to my list of items to buy. I love these style of Boots being a leggings girl, and good for long walks and keeping you feet toastie and warm.

I am also looking for some new pairs of leggings as I have a few which have holes in. I will at some point sow these up, but always like to have plenty of pairs.

You can get packs of leggings for a really good price and found these where you can buy a pack of three. In black, navy blue or grey.

Then there are jumper, Sweatshirts and t-shirts. I love a jumper or Sweatshirt which has diamonties or pearls and chosen this sweatshirt. I love these oversize types and I have bought a new T-Shirt today which will be in a unboxing video or haul, and eve the smallest of images and pictures can make a different to a white or black top.

Blooming Jelly Women's Chunky Sweater Crewneck Sweatshirt Knit Lantern Sleeve Oversized Pullover Sweater with Pearls

Here is an example of the type of T-Shirts you can get at Amazon and for reasonable prices.

They do packs of T-Shirt and these are great to wear when layering up when it is cold, but I like a T-Shirt with a logo or is different to the normal T-Shirts there are, however these are an option if you do stripes and plane Tees.

Blooming Jelly Womens Rainbow T Shirt Round Neck Short Sleeve Summer Tops Cute Graphic Tees

I like these types and is one I have selected as I like statement items and would like to work with an Amazon fashion store threw Amazon as I would like to create my own T-Shirts with some inspiration logos and styles for curvy women like myself.

It is all about adding to your wardrobe and making it interesting and for your own personal style.

So do check Amazon as I love buying from this site as there is so many things you can purchase for real good prices.

Many thanks for reading,

Meal Ideas/My love for a Curry

Hello and welcome! Today it is another Weekly Meal ideas blog talking about my love for a curry. I used to have Curry Sunday’s where I wouldn’t have a roast dinner but have a curry instead. Having themes for your weekly meal planner is the great way to keep meal times interesting for kids and can help make the most of the food you have in your cupboards, fridge and freezer.

Please see my Grocery Haul video for this week:

Add to what you have and a weekly budget when it comes to groceries than monthly.

So I still have some money left from this weeks shop and so got some curry sauce left and so will use this tomorrow to get a few more bits. I didn’t want to get too much as I am due to move out soon, and so limiting what I buy as I will be hopefully moving more into central London and go back home.

So a curry is what I have most weeks and so bought two chicken fillets, a jar of Chicken Tikka Sauce and microwave rice and haven’t used all of the sauce and was able to divide the rice for two meals this week and the sauce has lasted me three meals.

Today I had a winter favourite, Chicken Curry, Rice and chips. Now I do prefer chunkier chips, so will buy bigger size chips, but it was what already was there and I have a preference of the type of chips I like to buy so will add these along with some more chicken and may pick up some vegetables to add to it as I have often done this too, as I only spent £8.74 and my budget for this week was £20 even though I like to if I can keep it under £10 or just over.

I also bought some snacks and will need to replenish these too, but still won’t need that much.

So my top tips when it comes to Meal Ideas:

  • Check items online that you need once you have checked to see what you already have stored that can be used for meals in the week
  • Keep cleaning items and pharmacy separate from your Grocery budget
  • Have a meal plan each week and have a calendar that you can put in meal ideas if you have a big family
  • Have food that can spread out through the week and even the week after depending on the best before or use by dates

Good theme ideas:

  • Curry night or weekend
  • Meat free meals
  • Burger feast and teach your kids on how to make a homemade burger
  • Buffet night
  • Movie night
  • Friday Takeaway night

They are just a few. Just get the most out of your food and love it.

Shopping Ideas Post/Seasonal Living

Hello and welcome! So first of all I have filmed a new Get Ready with me video, so check this out: Get Ready with me, no contouring and using a new concealor.

Plus an Unboxing Video: Unboxing items from Amazon and Wish.

I have created another video about Gifts I like to receive and how I save money.

In this blog post I am talking about Seasonal Living as I don’t eat or buy the same items when it comes to Winter and Summer. I like to layer up for Winter and have comfort food more during Winter, like a cup of tea and biscuits, a curry and stews, and so miss having a slow cooker as I think this is must when it comes to kitchen appliances and great for winter food.

I also love and will be buying some cuppa soups as when it is snowing and bitterly cold that is a luxury item for me and a change from a roll or sandwich. I love making the food I buy go a long way so I can get plenty of meals out of and not having to pop to the shops again in the week if I can help it.

I have filmed another grocery haul which will be in my meal ideas blog post this week. I try to not to shop for the sake of it, but keep a wish list of items I would like to buy at some point.

Image result for free clipart images of a person using someone writing a shopping list

It is good to have wish lists aswell as must haves. Wish lists are good because you can send them to friends and family when it comes to kids or your birthday, rather than items that you don’t really want, and helps the gift buyer more, than when you don’t.

I get mind boggled of what to buy my youngest niece for example because she has many clothes and toys that are handmedowns from her two sisters. So a wish list is just a heads up of ideas to help you buy the gift they want and with kids they don’t mind if it is the same as another toy, they just like to receive it and know you love them with a cuddle and kiss to. Those are the gifts that are endless and can’t be returned.

When it comes to fashion I love plenty of sweaters and jumpers, and a good scarve and if you check out some of my outfits in my Weekly Fashion Look books. you will see that I treat myself to a new scarf each year and is a staple item.

I also love Hot chocolate and so far the Marks and Spencer box of chocolate sachets seem to be the best one…and great as a winter warmer for the hands, and I am dying to find a Ginger Whiskey as when I was given a shot of one it was lovely and did warm me up a treat.

Winter food is anything that is a hug on a plate and clothes are a tight cuddle even if there is no one there to cuddle you on winter days, and feel comfortable and at peace.

Tea and Biscuits Sunday Afternoon post- What I learned living on a Peabody Estate

Hello and welcome! Here is my new Tea and Biscuits Sunday afternoon post. In this video I am talking about What I learned living on a Peabody Estate, as I was always working on the yearly fetes held and spend time with many kids who would lool after their sibblings and would help them, and in some way has made me grounded.

See Video below:

Being a Peabody kid you had to learn to stand your ground as there were kids who’d disrupt your fun and demolish it, and I was very protective of my estate and would send them packing.

Living in such a place can be a world of its own and a close community. With a mixture of people it could often be a rough place to live but do have some good memories and I am a girl who will never forget her routes.

Many thanks for reading,

Saturday Weekly Post

So I usually do a Saturday Morning post but been doing other bits like uploading more videos, and added a New Unboxing video, showing more bits I bought from Amazon and Wish. Clear here to watch Unboxing Weekly Video.

I have filmed a Grocery Haul for this weeks Meal ideas post, and possibly my Shopping ideas posts I write. See my last Grocery haul by click here.

You can see all my Shopping Ideas and Meal ideas post here:

Meal Ideas

I love my Saturdays and popped out into my local park and watching the world go by and I find doing these types of things fulfilling. I am creating some Life Coaching videos for a programme called “Project 2021” and so if you would like to view these then here is a link to a playlist of all my videos for this programme that I have done so far.

I add this to my network site: https://carriesblognetwork.squarespace.com

Plus I have linked them to my Pinterest page:

I have added some quotes on this board to, to help you have a better wellbeing you can print off and use. I find adding these to a Vision Board is great too. I find putting it on Pinterest I can look at it anywhere.

I have also created a Playlist of my Life Coaching videos too, see below:

My life coaching playlist videos

Having days where I can focus on one side of my work is how I keep on track and don’t lose myself of what I need to do now and next. I live in a Notebook which I did a video on also, and I will even log some days of what I do each day in my notebook too.

Check out video: Google Blogspot Blog site: Organize4thebetter

Weekends for me spells some a day for a Takeaway or comfort food even if I don’t have these during the week and I have filmed a What I like to eat some days video on my camera and so will be uploading this at some point and will be reviewing a product I have been using from Amazon as I am filming a Day in a life and more of these videos to come too.

So have a brilliant Saturday and will be back with a Saturday post next week.

Many thanks for reading,

Weekly Fashion Look Book/A Black Dress with a different look

Hello and welcome! So it is another Weekly Fashion Look Book and this week I wore a black dress I bought from Very, and put it with different items to look not just like a dress but as a skirt too.

However I have done something different this week and created a video of my different looks with one dress for this weeks Fashion Look book blog post, and will be a new weekly video as putting this together has been great. It gives me a purpose for me as I love watching fashion videos and making my own too.

I like clothes that can be styled differently and not look the same as I feel bored when I do, so finding pieces of clothing that can make an outfit look tailored even if it is a casual piece can help lift your mood and how you feel about yourself.

You should wear the clothes, not clothes that wear you. It is finding your own style and what makes you feel comfortable but can look in the mirror occasionally, and feel happy.

Many thanks for reading,

Carrie L.M X

Meal Ideas Post/Grocery haul video/Classical Childhood Favourites

Hi so this is a New Meal ideas blog post for this week and I have done another Grocery haul and as you can see it wasn’t a lot. I had a voucher to use at Sainsbury’s and so used that to pick up some bits and found some of my classic childhood favourite bits aswell as a couple of Ready meals.

I am a great lover of Classic Brands from my childhood and so picked up a packet of Chipsticks crisps and loved these as a kid, with a some Nesiquk. I wanted Strawberry flavour but was sold out so, settled for Banana Flavour instead.

The one Kitchen essential ware I miss is my Slow cooker and lived by this in Winter season and great for stews, caseroles, even curry’s and even spaghetti Bolognese.

There is a lady I love to watch on Youtube who always does Meal Ideas videos and are great, and that is Kerry Whelpdale.

I bought a packet of Pain eu chocolats which are great for a snack or breakfast, along with a packet of Sainsbury’s chocolate digestives and had about £1.70 left on the voucher I had as it was for £30, and so I bought a new top as I love their fashion, and a new Notebook and a set of pens.

I always divide stationary and cleaning items separately from Grocery shop and clothes and so was still within my budget.

The other thing I did was I had a no spend on food week and it was brilliant saved me some money doing that and would do this again.

I only really shop now in Sainsburys when I have a voucher, because I do find it pricer compared to Morrisons, Tescos and even some items in Marks and Spencers, so was a one off shop, but it is good to go into, now and again.

So shop wisely and when looking at special offers do the maths before selecting items on offers, as it can often be dearer and still get items cheaper if going for a different brand than normal.

New Youtube Videos/Get Ready with me and Showing what’s in my Make up bag and current skincare I am using

So in this blog I am sharing some new Youtube videos I created and one is a Get Ready with me. Now this was supposed to have gone with one of the Days in a life video but decided to make it into a video of its own. See Below:

Now as you can see that I don’t put a lot of make up on but enough to give myself that change that helps me face myself in the mirror, but I am not a girl who wears make up everyday, and in fact I don’t always put cream on if I haven’t worn make up, but am going to as I have had a break out of dry skin.

Winter is always the season where my skin will become dry and so it is a must that I help to maintain it and so have a routine each day to help it.

I will show you my routine one day and I have shared a Whats in my Make up bag and my current skincare items I am using, see this video:

I do believe that you should let your skin breath and I do, but I do also live by the products I use on my skin and will tend to use the same brands, if their products work on my skin.

Use what works for you.

So I will be back with more blogs and videos to come, so see you then.

Many thanks for reading,

Carrie L.M X
