What I got for my mum on Mothers day

Being away from my mother is the hardest thing ever. She's superwomen to me because she always put other people before herself. I couldn't think of the last time my mum treated herself so here's the gifts I surprised her with.

Gift 1) Soft toy. Got this present for my mum as a gift from me and my siblings just to explain how much we love her and she is the best mum ever.

Gift 2) Colouring book & pencils: This is just like the newest trend I have yet to purchase on for myself. I just think that this is relaxing and my mum would appreciate it, she's always running up and down for other, she needs a break. what better way than to enjoy your favourite music while coloring eh?

Gift 3) I think my mum would like this gift the best. I got a part time job to help purchase new things for my blog as well as help out my mum financially. Rent can be so expensive. So I gave her money to help her out with things?

What did you get your mum for mother's day? Let me know in the comments below...

How does Slimming World work?

As some of you may know, I am on a weight loss journey. I've been a member with Slimming World since October 2015. I love their meals and how you can be flexible with what you eat. As a celebration of hitting  my 1 stone, I thought I would let you into a little insight about how my food lifestyle works.

Step 1) You are able to fill your plate as much as you want as look as you remember to pack part of it with Speed foods.

Step 2) Speed foods are foods that boost your metabolism playing a greater contribution to your weight loss. These include fruit such as an apple and vegetable such as broccoli.

Step 3) Slimming World encounters a treat stash known as Syns. Which means you are allowed to have your sweet treats every now and then, especially when your craving a doughnut): As long as you keep to your limited amount of 15 syns a day, even if you go over it shouldn't be a problem as long as you're ready to get back on plan.

Step 4) If you're not a fan of attending weight loss groups or simply just don't have the time. You can monitor your own progress at home. Personally I prefer to be part of a group because you get to share amazing advice and always look forward to the next weigh in because you want to do particularly well.

step 5) It only costs £5 per week. I often pay £50 for 12 weeks, it just saves me from having to
 spend £5 every week, especially with being a student.
