Photo Blogging Challenge: Winter




I am taking part in a Photo Blogging Challenge created by PJ at A'lil Hoohaa. This months theme was 'Winter', so I will get straight to the point and share my pictures. 

Winter sun. Nothing beats the Manchester sky on the sunny day, especially when it's winter. I love to take pictures of the sun - every single detail comes out and these trees are just so sharp and beautiful.



Snowdrops. Where else could you find snowdrops in February but Manchester!?

  
C vitamin. For me winter is all about cozy slippers, warm clothes and lemon water. 

Wrapped up. I don't think it has been under -5 degrees this month but it has still been freezing cold! I hate cold and a strong wind always makes it worse, so I am properly protected by my big hood and a scarf around my neck.



Manchester has been absolutely snow free this month but I don't think it's only the snow which makes it 'winter'. For me, it's eating cheesecake, drinking tea and watching TV shows under the blanket. You can hear the wind, you know it's cold out there, maybe even snowing but you feel good being warm at home.

Just to make clear - it does snow here once a year. This winter it snowed towards the end of January. This picture is not part of the 'Winter' Challenge but I couldn't help but post it.

    I so enjoyed your photos of the winter sun...one of my favourite things about winter is that the low sun angle makes the golden hour last all day long! Those snowdrops are gorgeous. And thanks for including your snowfall photo from January - does it really only snow there once/year?

    The pictures of the winter sun are great! They really bring out a nice contrast of colors! :)

    These are so great... the tea one is awesome! And wow the sun on that first one - WOW. And the snow drops - how very beautiful. So funny, I don't think cheesecake when I think winter. But if winter is cheesecake, I say bring it on!

    I love the two pictures of trees, I think bare trees are definitely very wintery! The snow drops are so pretty, Leeds doesn't get any nice flowers!

    I liked your shots. The most interesting, at least to me, is the slippers shot. I think it really sums up the winter feel for the theme very nicely.

    Snowdrops are such pretty flowers.

    I agree with Paul. We all chose outside photos, when really, so much of winter is spent inside in our cozy clothes and slippers.

    I love being all wrapped up in a cozy blanket listening to the winter wind blow outside. But your snowdrops have given me a touch of spring fever!

    Good group of photos for this month!

    I wish we didn't get so much snow. Though one thing you said is so true -- the winter sky. If you can get a good and clear sunny day during the winter, the blue of the sky always seems to pop more and can truly be awesome.

    I like the "life" feel to your set of photos this month, too. It kind of gives us a glimpse into your world, while still covering the theme very well.

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

Minu lemmikud tooted - Austraalia eri

Tere blogi, vahelduseks kõigile nendele raseduse postitustele panin kokku väikse listi oma viimase aja lemmikutest toodetest. Olen eelistanud niinimetatud kodumaist, ehk siis kõik tooted on Austraalias tehtud-toodetud-valmistatud.   asap Revitalising Bodyscrub   Paar kuud tagasi otsisin endale uut kehakoorijat ja komistasin juhuslikult sellise brändi otsa nagu asap . Mulle meeldis just see, et nende tooted on looduslikud, vegan ja valmistatud siin Austraalias. Pudel on hea suurusega (200 ml) ja maksab 50 dollarit (umbes 30 eurot). See kehakoorija sisaldab ka minu lemmikut glükoolhapet, mis on tugev antioksüdant, põletikuvastase toimega, nahka niisutav ja stimuleerib kollageeni loomist. Kasutan suhteliselt kokkuhoidlikult - umbes vutimuna suurune kogus ja sellest piisab täiesti käia üle kohad, mis enim muret teevad. Olen kasutanud seda kehakoorijat kaks korda nädalas. Hõõrun õrnalt umbes paar minutit ja loputan siis duši all maha. Nahk on pärast mega pehme ja mina nägin mu...

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...
