beauty buys under $10.75...regis designline ultimate radiance collection

I was smitten the moment I sniffed the shampoo. It smells all coconutty and fruity, but not in an annoying I'm-wearing-a-fruit-salad-on-my-head kinda way. While it contains natural ingredients and no sulfates, the best part for me (aside from the fab scent) was how it cleaned my hair. Amazing. It got rid of that... Continue reading »

Butter London Primrose Hill Picnic NOTD

Butter London Primrose Hill Picnic NOTD

I walked up Primrose Hill once and it is most definitely a perfect spot for a picnic (just be sure to dodge all the yummy mummies and their icandy prams). See?

Thai Beef Noodle Salad

Thai Beef Noodle Salad

Not too long ago I go an email asking me if I had ever been to a Houston's restaurant and if I had tried their 'evil jungle noodle salad'. That was the first that I had heard of either but the description that I had been given of the salad sounded really good. It was described as containing: mango, avocado,... Continue reading »

10 Days of Belly-Stuffing in the Big Easy

Filed under: Restaurants, Local Delicacies Photo: rdpeyton, Flickr I need a salad like you wouldn't believe. Or some nice sliced fruit. And perhaps a lengthy Master Cleanse regimen.

Strawberry feta salad

Strawberry feta salad

Simple yet delicious I’m a moron, you know that right? A downright idiot sometimes, if you will. I am impulsive. Act before I think about what I’m doing on many occasions. I change my mind often and radically too. Not to fear though, it usually effects only myself, so any harm done, is usually only done to myself... Continue reading »

Garden + Croutons = Salad.

The sun is out in full force, and thanks to that we had lots of ripe tomatoes and lettuce this weekend for our first garden salads!
