Sunday Catch-Up - 12th January 2014

Well I was planning to write a Sunday Catch-Up post like I usually do, but in all honesty when I started looking at my instagram and iPhone pictures to put the post together, I realised I had nothing interesting to show you, lol! Literally my entire weeks pictures are of food for my Weight Loss Wednesday Posts. My weight loss goal has taken over my thoughts a little! So as there is no point posting food pictures here, when I will be posting them on Wednesday anyway, I thought I would do a bit of a bumper Links and Love instead! So here is what I have been looking at and loving online this week: I've been a little bit obsessed with house renovation and inspiration blogs lately, usually I'm just on Design Sponge and Apartment Therapy but thanks to them I found two new awesome blogs - My Scandinavian Home and Little Green Notebook - I'm in love! And thanks to all the housey obsession I have fallen very hard for Eames Paris Chairs! And the Rocking Chair version! I want them!

I'm currently reading 3 books (well listening to 1). Nacropolis by Jeet Thayil which was shortlisted for the Man Booker in 2012, With My Body by Nikki Gemmell and Count to Ten by Karen Rose.

I've been working on some Valentines Day Craft Articles:

Valentines DIY for the Home

Valentines Cards for Kids

Valentines Food Ideas

Valentines Day Crafts for Kids

Valentines Day Fashion Crafts I went to see this in the Millennium Centre - it was awesome! So funny!!

I've been working with a great scientist, Doctor and Writer called Darja Wagner to edit her book on Fertility for over 40's which you can find here. Even if your not over 40 but you need some help with fertility issues this book is brilliant!, I've learnt lots about womens health I never even knew before!
So that's all folks! Hope everyones week has gone well, tomorrow will be a Monday Manicure post so remember to swing by!

Review - Home Treats 'Touch me, I want to feel Dirty' Doormat

I'm still on a roll with my hunt for great homeware items and recently found HomeTreats.co.uk! A british company stocking fun and quirky home decor items and gifts. They had so many things I would love to have in our home (when we eventually have our own home!) So when they offered me a gift from the site I jumped at the chance to get this Rocky Horror Show inspired doormat. It isn't advertised as being a Rocky Horror item, but if you know the show you will know that Janet sings these lyrics to Rocky, and being a massive fan of the film and show I simply had to have it! Luckily my parents see the funny side too!

You will find the item here for just £20, which is a bit of a bargain for a quality item as far as I'm concerned. It took just 3 days to arrive after ordering it and it looks great in its new home by the front door.

There were a few more items that I was swooning over, so I thought I should share them with you too

Chef Teatowel £7

Porcelain Vending Cup £3

Hare Bag £22

Moustache Magnets £5

Retro Storage Boxes £24

And if money was no object

Replica Antlers £228 - I have a bit of a thing for antlers!!

Have you visited or bought form HomeTreats.co.uk before?

Which items do you love?

Increation Interior Design

You all know I love a bit of luxury home interiors and I usually get my fix via Design Sponge or Apartment Therapy, but I recently discovered Increation a London based Interior Design company that design the most amazing luxury kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and other rooms in the home. All of their projects have such a high level of design and style and they are all so individual and unique. I hope one day I will be able to make our home look like these spaces. I especially love the floor to ceiling book cases, so amazing!

Here are a few of my favourite rooms, they are simply to die for.
