Photo Blogging Challenge: Games

This year I thought I'd practice my photography skills, so I am taking part in a Photo Blogging Challenge by PJ from A'lil Hoohaa.


 

The idea is to take photos that match a theme throughout the month and post your five favourite pictures on the last day of the month. There is no rule on equipment - you can use a mobile phone, film, point-and-shoot or DSLR if you wanted to.

 This months theme was 'Games'. It was actually quite hard for me to be creative with this word so I took it literally.

1. Pikachu

 Tristan and I own a Wii U and we play games every now and then. I am learning to play Super Smash Bros. There are so many different characters but I find Pikachu super, super cute so I always pick him. So here we are, beating the red team.

2. Sims 4

 Yep, I am playing Sims! My secret is exposed. If I'm having a lazy weekend I like to stay in my pyjamas, relax, eat chocolate and play Sims. For hours. Sims 4 came out in September last year, close to my birthday, so Tristan got it for me as a present. 

3. Birds

 Near my work there is a big field where football training is held almost every week, mostly when it is sunny. Seagulls are the only ones playing in the morning.
4. Dominoes

 Before Tristan and I started dating, I remember clearly one evening we decided to play Dominoes. I ended up losing one piece but I'm too sentimental to replace it.


 5. Saboteur 

Saboteur is a card game I haven't played for years. It reminds me of my uni years, friends and summer. Unfortunately, I can't remember much of the rules but this photo challenge has encouraged me to take them out of the drawer and plan a game night with friends and family. 



If you are interested in seeing what other people have come up with and how they spent their fun January in 'Games' check out this PJ blog post. 

 I am ready for February's theme!

    Great job on this month's theme! I like the different games and such. Cool show with the laptop. And Saboteur is a game I've wanted to play, but haven't yet. I might have to pick it up to try it out. I really like the domino shot, too.

    So glad you've joined in. Dominoes is always a favourite and given the story you told, I absolutely understand why you'd want to hold onto this set with the missing piece! The photo of all the seagulls on the football field is fantastic - so glad you included that one to really mix things up. Looking forward to seeing your take on February's theme...whatever that may be!

    My kids have played plenty of Super Smash Bros. Since I have plenty of kids, I've never played with them.
    Dominoes are a great game, even when you are missing a piece. :)
    I especially like the soccer shot. I've spent too many hours to count on soccer fields, but we've never had sea gulls on ours!

    Have to admit I'm not familiar with the Pikachu, Saboteur or Sims games. But I do recognize Dominos! And I really love the clouds in your shot of the football field. Nice selection of games

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
