#August Rules

Health kick
The time has finally come just like a friend once told me it would. My metabolism has finally slowed down and now I have to work a little harder. I decided to make a few little changes this month by eating properly and exercising.  I don't and have never believed in dieting and depriving the body of everything it needs and because I love my food. I began my quest at the start of August by eating 3 meals and walking to work and back. Every little bit helps right! I'm not trying to lose weight, I just want to get fit. It's amazing how motivating food posts on instagram can be.
One sunny day
If I had to describe this year's summertime. It would be one sunny day!  I went out and enjoyed the sunshine in Belfastcity hall earlier in the month when the sun decided to pop out for an hour or two and even treated the occasion by having an ice cream.
Playing Tourist
I met a friend and we played tourist for a day. We went on theweetram which is a hop on hop off tram service complete with documentary starting at thetitanic Belfast giving you a full history of the Titanic. We chose tickets that cost £6 per adult and £5 per child , ticket is valid for 2 days. There are other options available. We also went to the robots exhibition, I enjoyed this more that I thought I would have.
Pale blue for Autumn
August also means new season clothes and one of my favourites is the pale blue coat from benetton on the Lisburn Road.
I can't believe it's the middle of August. We will soon be in our attics putting away the Summer clothes we didn't get to wear to pull out all the winter woolies.

'Benefit' of a mascara

The bene f it of a mascara   I called into the Victoria Square, House of Fraser today (you are probably asking, what again?), taking my lunch break in a shopping centre can be a very  refreshing, informative and also an expensive diversion so restraint is needed.   I went in with the intention of buying a new mascara after having seen the new They’re Real! Mascara (available at) on display the other day and I ended up getting a full make-up lesson from Reagan who works in the House of Fraser Victoria Square . Reagan was patient as she explained the various products she was using on me. I tend to stick with the same brand and am always nervous about trying out something new. Now, I can honestly say that I tend to stick with that particular brand after I have found what works for me and am reluctant to try new products, especially foundations. This experience gave me opportunity to see and feel what the products they looked like on my skin without feeling obliged to purch

Uptown Girl

Uptown Girl If you were to ask me where to go for a cocktail in Belfast, my first choice would have to be The Merchant Hotel, Waring Street Belfast.  I have been going to The Merchant ever since it first opened in 2007. I remember our first visit to The Great Room (2AA Rosettes), where we dined out from the very decadent a la carte menu.  There was a strict dress code at that time, men were not allowed in jeans, shorts or trainers, ladies also had o be suitably attired.  There was a sign posted on entry advising diners not to use their mobile phones to allow for complete intimacy to savour the delicious food.   The dress code is pretty relaxed now and the food is just as excellent as the first visit and there is a choice of different affordable menu options. For me going to the Merchant is an excuse to dress up because they have a knack of making you feel so special. M personal favourite is enjoying either an Apéritifs  or Digestifs in the cocktail lounge where you feel l
