Our Valentines Day...

I hope you all have a great Valentines day how ever you spent it! We both worked in the day and I went over Russ's house after work for a lazy evening and home cooked meal! We usually spend our Valentines day at home as we find if we go out it's so busy and you have to wait for ages if you haven't booked anywhere. As we are both food and cooking lovers we had a yummy but quick and easy dinner! 

Russ did main and cooked a rather yummy chicken dish. He scored a chicken breast and stuffed it with cheese then sprinkled it with a mix of crispy bacon, bread crumbs, sage and garlic. It was so good and we had mini extra crispy roast potatoes (my fave) and some posh broccoli! 

As I had what felt like the longest day, the day before at work I didn't really have time to make a Hannah Special Pudding so.... I had bought Russ a chocolate fondue set for Valentines Day anyway and I decided to use that with lots of different things to dip in it! It was so good! My faves were strawberries, amaretti biscuits and of course MARSHMALLOWS mmmm!!

Along with the hot cross bun heart Russ had made for me!! I got some lovely presies as well! 

I have been looking for a Infinity necklace for ages but couldn't find one the right length! I think I have a 'fat neck' so I always like to have at least a 18 inch chain but Russ found this one from Literary Emporium and its made even better with the quote from The Perks Of Being A Wall Flower which I love. The packaging was pretty cool too!  He also treated me to some lovely flat pearl earrings from Lisa Angel. I often wear simple earrings like these and they go great with the pearl bracelet Russ got me for Christmas!  Add in some Roses, He spoilt me rotten and he's defo a keeper lol! 

I'm taking Russ for a date night soon to Wagamuma as his present. I know it's a bit boring but he is so hard to buy for and he loves a good Wagamuma's! 

I do love Valentines Day but I think everyday should be a special day if your in love! A cute txt, a little pressie and a lovely meal now and again keeps your relationship happy and healthy. It shouldn't be just one day a year! Me and Russ have one 'proper' special day a month, along with every day I between... cringe! :)

I Heart my Konjac Sponge...

... Well that's a phase I never thought I would say!!! 

HUH? I hear you say, until a few days before Christmas I had no idea what a Konjac sponge was either!!! But then my life changed... (This could totally be a movie couldn't it?) 

Well in fact to your amazement  Konjac is a JAPANESE POTATOE! The Japanese have been using it in beauty treatments for years to gently exfoliate and cleanse the skin. It's bursting full of minerals and vitamins to help brighten and improve your skin. Plus it's sustainable so good for the environment as well (double woo!) 

I'm using the Spa Find Red Velvet Konjac Sponge and have done since Christmas! I was luckily enough to try it out for a few months before it hit the shelves and all I can say is WOW! My skin has never looked or felt as good!

The sponge itself will gently but effectively exfoliate your skin while the red clay in it will rejuvenate. I feel it really works deep down and after one use I was amazed at how soft my face felt! I use it every morning and sometimes at night with a cleanser or face wash. It can even remove water-based make up. 

My skin feels more refined, cleaner and looks brighter and more radiant so much so I could probably brave leaving the house with no make up on! Also I have found my liquid foundation sits SO much nicer on my skin once I have used the sponge before hand.

I recommend this sponge to anyone! It's so easy to fit into your cleansing routine  it's not another product to sit with the rest of the ones, if you get me, as you use it with something that you use already. It's quick, easy and efficient!  I think I will be using it for many years to come!

Omg I sound like I'm writing a speech for parliament! VOTE KONJAC SPONGE FOR PRIMINSTER ! But I suppose it proves how strongly I love it! 

Also Happy Valentines day, that was my valentines related post! I better show my boyfriend some love and attention as it seems I'm having a love affair with a potato/sponge! If it wasn't for him (Russ not the sponge) encouraging me and helping me I would not have this little blog and my 100 followers on bloglovin so thank you baby I love you millions! (Cringe!) 

I'm looking forward to a nice meal this evening cooked by the boy himself and a lovely little relax curled up together on the soft after a busy week! What are you up to this Valentines day?

Bye for now
