Bake don't Fry

I've recently become slightly obsessed with Pinterest and being as food crazed as i am i came across a recipes for baked doughnuts on http://www.krissys-creations.com/2011/06/baked-doughnuts.html. Now i was rather skeptical when i first saw the recipe as i am a lover doughnuts and baking them instead of frying just didn't seem right!! However based on the photos on Krissy's blog i was in love and destined to give the recipe a try....

They we're AMAZING! Soft on the inside with a slight crunch to the crust, covered in cinnamon and sugar or icing and hundreds and thousands; finding the willpower to stop myself from eating them all was a struggle i have to admit!

Although my doughnuts didn't turn out to look as heavenly as Krissy's for a first attempt i was very pleased with their overall appearance, after all the divinity was in the taste and the great feedback from the family just kept coming!!

Inspire my life

Since leaving LCF its taken me a while to get back into the swing of things in terms of sewing, DIY, customizing and dress making (all of which are the things are plan to do with my life). Having gradually gotten my flair back i thought i'd start with something simple like accessories.....

This particular accessory actually was inspired by a evening dress i made...

This was actually my first big project I've taken on....its boned, with a lace up back, floral embellishment around the waistline following towards the hem and a chiffon skirt, i absolutely love it and having completed it has only made me want to make more!!

This hair piece was slightly more fiddly but its mini tiara like appearance has got me thinking about the bigger projects i can do and i'm feeling rather inspired as it goes.

Work it out

Today wasn't a a particularly busy one, everyone has been working away towards the May fashion show (its pretty exciting!!!) I've been writing all the exciting dates for 2013 in my diary...it took a while!

I've actually managed to get myself off the sofa today and in the gym.....so i figured if i'm gonna do this, i'm gonna do it right!.....Oh yes....that can only mean one thing, i bought a new outfit for the gym!!

 (For motivational purposes obviously)

So i Ballet bunned my hair, put on my Jack Wills workout vest and Nike Pro Capri's then the Nike Free run 3 Trainers....

If i was gonna do exercise, i was gonna look damn good whilst doing it!!

Get Ready, Set, Go!

So yesterday Londoners saw the first glimpse of sunshine in 2013, its a depressing thought that its taken this long!! However none the less it was a sign, summer isn't actually far around the corner.....this got me thinking i'd better start preparing, that means...no more staying in and curling up with the cats (they will be disappointed). Healthy eating, regularly gyming it, investing in beloved summer clothes and adapting the beauty regime.

My first attempt of a healthy lunch: 

Eggs on seeded granary bread with fresh basil, grilled aubergines and courgettes with Piri Piri houmous and carrots.....not bad for my first attempt!

As much as Sooty refuses to like my company, i'm sure she'll miss having someone to constantly pester for food throughout the day....someones gotta start her bikini diet!

This year i'll make the most of soaking up the sun and being outdoors.....all that vitamin D will do me the world of good after such a long winter....

Rosee Insists you do it too x
