Hi there :o) Hope you've been having a great week! The time is flying by, isn't it? I can't believe I've already lived in my new place for a month!
Autumn made the fantastic dinner earlier in the month (featured above): veggie rolls & dipping sauce, wine, cherries, and a slice of french bread (to go with brie & fig jam). I recently bought the most amazing pair of jeans. They have already changed my life. True story. If you are searching for the perfect pair of jeans, try Express!
Most exciting of all, my parents & youngest brother are visiting me for the week!!! Yaaaaaayyy :o) Tonight we barbecued sausages and ate corn on the cob, salad, and baked sweet potatoes outside on the picnic furniture. I love having them here :o) My brother Jakie is so grown up, I didn't even recognize him when I first saw him. He had also changed his hair style a bit, if that can be considered a legitimate excuse for mistaking my brother from the same mother. Forgive me.
In other news, I have decided that I'm growing my hair out long again, and going to buy a blow dryer (sometime soon). I tried Autumn's out and I loved its magic. The only other blow dryer I had used in my life was my mom's clunky grey one, manufactured in the 80's (like me!) with poufy results.
Fitness-wise, I have rejoined the gym (to get jacked!), decided to run a half marathon in the fall, and I am actively declaring my love for Lindt chili chocolate (chilling in the fridge). I hope you are happy and loving your life right now. xox.
Loving your stories :) and your food shots!
BTW, I was feeling quite pleased with myself for finding some loquats today (a rare find in North-West London) and was eating them with much delight until I came to visit this blog and though: Damn this fruit, I want HER food!

Those are the most amazing jeans!!! I have them in boot cut and skinny. You can't beat that dark wash!

All that yummy food, I'd join a gym too just so I wouldn't feel guilty about seconds....or thirds. =)

It's so good to have our familiy together and enjoy a nice meal like this!
Oh the gym...the yoga...I am not going there since last December. It was too cold here and nothing would make me go. I walk on my treadmill but I need to teach myself to do it every day.
Xo,

What amazing fun and yumminess you have going on over here! Thanks for the recommendation on the jean, I actually am looking for some. These might be just the thing.

We are inspired by your pancakes! Blueberry season is coming and we love to add them to waffles too. We'll be throwing some raspberries in them now also. thanks!

I like your fitness purposes ;) I have been running less than usual the last weeks because of the heat :( I went running two days ago, at 11 PM, and almost had a heatstroke: sleepiness, weakness, headaches....I didn't feel well at all >.<
But I bough a set of weights, and this week I have been doing weight training for the first time in my life =) So now I can exercice at home...far away from the bright sun and oppressive heat =P
I loved the colors I saw at Essie, but they are almost impossible to find in Spain =( I have found only one online shop that sells their products here. Although I don't like buying in internet (except plain tickets. I haven't entered in a travel agent’s for ages!!), maybe I will try.
Oh, and the pancakes look delicious =D

Continue to love your photos and your way with words! Feel you have been MIA. I'm sure I could say "WE" all miss you when you've been away from the blog for awhile. Glad your summer has been full of fun and color!
