    I wanted to make my 200th post a bit of a special one so I decided I would share our engagement shoot photos with you all. If you are new to my blog Glen and I got engaged on 3.4.15 back in my home town with both families there, sat in our pajamas on the sofa. It was very low key which is exactly what I wanted as I hate being center of attention. One year on we decided it was finally time to have some photos done to keep and display. Luckily enough we have a photographer in the family who was more than happy to take the photos for us. We headed down to Mote Park which I had never been to but I am so glad we picked the park for our photos, as you will be able to see it was the perfect location. 
    We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and have already had them printed for ourselves and family members.

    Out of all the photos we had done my personal favourite is the very first one in this post.

    If you have recently got engaged I would highly recommend having an engagement shoot done. It also helps you get an idea of what photos you want at your wedding.

    I have no idea where this post is going but here we go ..... 
    Moving 400 miles away from my dad was so hard. My dad is my world and at the time I couldn't even tell him that I was planning on moving 400 miles down the country little did I know he would be over the moon for me and only wanted what was best for me. 
    Being away from my dad on fathers day is hard for me, not being able to have a dad cuddle whenever I want is hard for me and not being able to just sit and have a random conversation whenever we want is hard. 
    So dad Happy dad day. Thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for standing by every decision I have ever made even if you didn't agree with some of them. Thank you for being there for me when shit hit the fan even though you knew it would. Thank you for making everything better again with a dad cuddle. You aren't just my dad, you are my best friend and idol. 
    I love you dad.

    Having photos all round my home is something I have always love even more so now that I have moved away from home. Recently Glen and I had our engagement shoot and I knew I wanted some of the photos printing to display in our home but having such an obsession with photo printing means it can get a bit pricey so I took to the internet to see what offers I could find. 

    I came across a company called Lalalab. Lalalab is an app that allows you to print your pictures from your smartphone, Instagram or Facebook. In just a few clicks you can have your best memories printed on products of your choice and sent anywhere you like. Their range of products include prints, magnets, photobooks, posters, canvasrs and more.

    I ordered an A4 print of my favourite print photo from the shoot and the rest of our photos as Polaroid prints as who doesn't love a Polaroid. I was super impressed with the quality of the photos and the delivery only took three days from the day I ordered. I would definitely recommend using LALALAB to print your photos.  

    You can get £5 to spend or £5 off any product by using the code PGZFFS9Z. 

    Will you be ordering any products from LALALAB?

Their aim is to create a monthly box full of luxury, personalised essentials you need to get through your period including your own choice of tampons or towels. Ms. Flow understands that your period is far from pleasant with skin breakouts, mood swings, cramps, exhaustion, hot sweats - the list is endless. Ms. Flow subscription box includes all the elements to make your period as pleasant as possible including luxury artisan treats to satisfy cravings, luxury beauty products to help lift your mood and lifestyle treats to help you relax during that time of the month. Along with all the goodies Ms. Flow also provide you with your period essentials with the choice of pads or tampons either from Tampax, Always or Natracare. 

    The box itself is a black and white striped box but comes discreetly packaged in a grey postage bag so you don't have to worry about everyone knowing what your postman is delivering. 

    Signing up for the box if so quick and simply, you sign up online and pop in all the information regarding your dates and your preferences in terms of your chosen sanitary products. Once completed they then put together your box of goodies and send it to you during the month just in time for your period so you are never caught out when your time of the month arrives. 

    The box does vary slightly in price depending on the amount of sanitary products you require each month. Prices start from £12.99 per month plus £2.95 postage and packing. 

    I received Junes Box which was very well packaged in its black and white box with lovely blue tissue paper. The box itself was packed full of goodies that I can't wait to try. 


    The Naked Tea Company - Lemon Sorbet. 
    Organic lemongrass and green tea blended with lemon flavour. A refreshing and delicious citrus blend with lemongrass to delight the senses. 

    Jelly Belly - The Original Gourmet Jelly Bean. 
    An assortment of the top 50 mouth-watering flavours for you to try. 

    Anatomicals Chocolate Face Mask.
    The anti-stress chocolate face mask looks and smells just like melted chocolate good enough to eat! Wet your face and pat dry, then apply a thick layer of the mask. Plenty for two servings in each sachet. 

    Bounce Energy Ball - Cacao Orange Protein Burst. 
    Theses cacao orange balls will provide you with an array of nutrients including 9g of protein, fibre, vitamin E and antioxidant minerals. Providing you with that boost of energy when you need it most. 

    The Herb Garden - Relaxing Massage Bar.
    A blend of shea butter, almond oil, vitamin E oil, chamomile oil and English lavender oil. Ideal for relaxing and soothing the mind. Simply warm in your hands, see the oils warm and melt or rub the bar directly onto your body to enjoy the soothing moisturising relief. 
    Note: Do not use in the shower.

    Lord & Berry - Fluid Delicate Make Up Remover. 
    A hydrating, fragrance free cleansing treatment or toner for eyes and face for all skin types. Gently but fully removes impurities, leaving skin feeling velvety soft. Enriched with Hyaluronic Acid with reduces the appearance of fine lines. In addition to antioxidant properties, fluid delicate has a tree in one effect of refreshing, soothing and moisturising. 

    The Fudge Kitchen - Drinking Fudge. 
    Stir into hot milk for an indulgent hot chocolate, blend with cold milk and ice for a delicious frappe or mix with ice cream to make a chocolatey milkshake. The possibilities are endless. 

    Ms Flow Candle - Pineapple And Coconut.
    This months soy candle is scented with fruity holiday scents. Exotic pineapple and coconut created to help you drift away to thoughts of a summery paradise. Up to 10 hours burn time. 

    As well as all the goodies included in the box there was also 14 day pads, 7 night pads and 7 pantie liners. 

    I think the team at Ms. flow have done a great job at making sure you are covered in every element of your period. I am super excited to try the Lord & Berry make up remover and the drinking fudge will certain go down well on a chilled summer night round the bbq. Putting a candle in the box was always going to be a winner for me as I love nothing more than a good candle and this one smells amazing, can't wait to burn it and as for the face mask who wouldn't want to put something on their face that smells like chocolate. 

    Overall I think the box is great value for money as it not only makes sure you are prepared for mother nature arriving but also helps you to make her arrival as pleasant as possible. 

    If you are interested in purchasing a box yourself you can currently receive 15% off with the code WELCOME15. 

    Let me know your thoughts in the comments below if you have tried the Ms. Flow subscription or if it is something you would be interested in.

    If you have followed me from the start you will know that over the past three years I have managed to loose TEN STONE and although I would like to loose a couple more stone I am at the stage where I am happy with how far I have come. When Forza contacted me about their weight management products I knew this was something that I would be interested in taking a look at. 

    Forza was founded in 2007 and are well-known for being the first company to design and produce T5 legally in the UK. Along with their successful T5 diet supplement they have developed the 'Stir It Slim' meal replacement. 'Stir It Slim' comes in three variations, Caramel Latte, Latte and Hot Chocolate. Caramel Latte and Latter contain coffee and are great to have on a morning for that extra caffeine boost. For weight loss the shake replaces two meals a day and for weight maintenance the shake replaces one meal.


    I tried the Caramel Latte flavour to help with weight maintenance and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I used it first thing on a morning as a calorie controlled replacement for my usual breakfast. Personal I am not a fan of coffee but I found the taste to be more of a caramel taste than coffee. I also found that the added coffee helped make me feel a bit more alive in the morning. The shake kept me full right up until lunch time with is great as normally around ten o'clock I start to get a bit peckish. 

    Over the past month I have lost 1st 1lb and I definitely think 'Stir It Slim' contributed towards maintaining a steady weight loss. 

    I will definitely consider trying more Forza products in the future. The 'Shake It Slim' and capsules are currently catching my eyes. 

    You can purchase 'Stir It Slim' for the Forza website or exclusively from Boots. 

    Have you tried a hot weight loss powder before?
