Weekly Love: Week 110

This week has been a week spent at home; working, making and eating some more Innocent Smoothie Boozy Popsicles, and working some more. Not letting the opportunity of this wonderful week of sunshine that is supposed to break this evening slip past, I volunteered to run some errands in Canterbury on Monday and also picked up some amazing Yves Saint Laurent makeup goodies in the tale end of the sale, and again yesterday to have lunch with Kathryn. This afternoon we're heading off  to have a barbecue on the beach - I have been looking forward to it all week, and I made potato salad for the occasion! 

1.Mixed platter for two at Cafe Du Soleil in Canterbury. | 2. Fresh cut white roses in my bedroom. | 3. In Saturday's Times there were a couple of recipes inspired by Cabana Brazilian Barbecue in London. Obviously the recipe for Brazilian Barbecue Prawns was too much to resist - totally delicious too! | 4. Banana & Nutella Swirl Breakfast Muffins, recipe from The Londoner. | 5. Love Lane, one of my favourite road signs in Canterbury. | 6. A beautiful day on the River Stour.

In other news, this week over at Grazia Daily along with some of my fellow bloggers and the Grazia beauty editors I've shared what beauty products are essential to my workout - for me, what products I use to re-hydrate my skin when I get out of the swimming pool. Also, if you have not already, I'd really appreciate it if you could vote for my beauty blog, The Glossy Guide in the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards, when it has been nominated as Best New Beauty Blog!
