Hello Lindt!!

So this week I have been happily stuffing my chubby little face with the new lindt range I was sent...mmmm chocolate...it didn't last long. Oops!

Why yes, they do look delicious!
Salted Caramel is a perfect mixture of saltiness and carameliness, I think it's up there as my second favourite. Firm first was Caramel Brownie, sorry to make you drool..but this is amazing! Try it, and try it now! 

Strawberry Cheesecake was very sweet, and quite sickly. While still jolly tasty, I could only eat it a bit at a time but if you're the kind of person that loves the fake 'strawberry' taste then this is right up your street!
Crunchy Nougat had just the right amount of tiny pieces in, for someone who generally isn't keen on nougat this was perfect for me!

Mmmm Cookies and Cream! Again, this was devine! Perfect tiny bits of cookie to add texture to the creamy filling.

The Hello Lindt range is currently on offer at Tesco, try not to eat it in the queue!!

So, anyway, I am now firmly on a diet after over indulgent summer holidays! Just dont think I'll be able to stay away from the chocolate...

Cricket Tea - Disney Style

Having a boyfriend who's on the cricket team means getting roped in to doing cricket teas every once in a while. This weekend also happens to be my boyfriends birthday so we made him an extra special tea I thought I would share with you... Disney Tea!






We also had shaped pizzas, popcorn, gumbo, ratatouille, sandwiches and chocolate fondue. And, the final piéce de résistance...Nemo Cake!

 All credit to my friend Cara for that! Amazing!

Cricket teas are always pretty much the same; sandwiches, crisps, cake...so we try and mix it up a bit when it's our turn by doing a theme, it always goes down well and makes it a bit more interesting through the season. So if you ever find you have to do a tea, think outside the box and it will be appreciated!

Oh, and we also wore Disney teeshirts, just to get fully in the spirit!

They were all from Primark and cost £6 each 

Anyone ever done anything like this before? Or a kids party, let's face it- it's pretty much what this is!!!

#MJDaisyChain

This weekend Marc Jacobs have opened a pop up 'Tweet for a Treat' shop in Covent Garden.
I read about it first on Ashley's blog and with an open weekend ahead of me I decided to head on up.
The concept is that you put out a tweet or a vine with #Mjdaisychain show it to the staff who will give you freebies in return, some of the selected tweets could also win bigger prizes like full sized perfumes, bags and sunglasses.
These were our entries...




I know, we're hilarious...

Unfortunately we didn't win any of the bigger prizes, but we did each get a keyring, mini bottle of Daisy and Daisy Dream.

You could also exchange you tweets for a manicure or coffee and macaroons. Inside the shop was really cute with fake grass, log benches, swings and flowers to make it feel like a daisy garden. A DJ was playing and the tweet and images were projected on to a wall behind.
Look, there's mine!



Afterwards we went and had some lunch on the top of the Master Chef Street Food Bus!




And there was a big Radley Dog
And on the way I home I got this drink from M&S and it was totally delicious 

All in all, a good day out!

Anyone else planning to go along this weekend? It's worth a try, and good luck if you do!
