Via What are you up to this weekend? Steve is off to for the day so Mila and I are going to have some mother & daughter quality time in our garden to make the most of this glorious weather. She just had a lot of fun cleaning up the garden with the hose and soaking Lucas (he wasn’t very impressed!) while I took our white ball chairs outside so now everything is ready for us.This afternoon, I’m taking her to her first Bikram Yoga class for kids and then we will cook some honey & lemon marinated chicken.If you live in West London, try this pub The Oak W12 where we had our family meal last night (more pics on Instagram). They have a couple of our Clip-On Lights behind the bar, our New-York Black & Copper wall light in the back room  and a couple of our New-York table lamps. I’m in love with the interior design!Have a great one! Bises{RECIPE}Ingredients:Juice and zest of 1 large lemon (3 tablespoons juice), 3 tablespoons honey, 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic, 1 1/2teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried …

How are you??I’m so ready for the Summer! I went to my Bikram yoga class at lunch time today and gosh it was hot! As I was staring at myself in the large mirror looking red, sweaty and reasonably unattractive but toner and fitter, I realised how much I’ve enjoyed this challenge.Yes ok some days have been tougher than others but overall, the benefits have not only been positive from a physical point of view but also mentally. I’m more focused and relaxed. I feel I handle stress at work in a much better way and I had my share over the years (read my interview for Kelly Hoppen here) and most of it I feel full of energy.I know some of you have found my updates here on the blog or Instagram very inspiring and I’m glad because if you can take on this challenge or any other fitness challenge for that matter (my friend Hannah from Dreamwalls is doing amazingly well running), it can only be for the best.So if you need more inspiration, here are a few …

Via What an amazing weekend we had in Wales and what a gorgeous, gorgeous weather! I will fill you in on where we stay in a separate post when I get to the office as soon as I can since Monday is our busiest day and the Summer Sales are on but for now, I just wanted to inject a bit of positive thinking into our goal for a healthy, happy life. Breakfast: 150g St Helen Goat Yogurt and 120g of blueberries Morning Snack: nectarine, 1 banana Afternoon Snack: 1 nectarine + plenty of water throughout the day Lunch  200g cooked Kings prawns + 1 spoon of sweet chili sauce + a couple of Spring onions + half a lemon Diner: Grilled chicken with spinach leaves and olive oil & balsamic vinegar bought from Olives & Oiles, a nice delicatessen in Mumbles, Wales Quel weekend genial nous avons passés au Pays de Galles et quel temps absolument magnifique! Je vous dirais ou nous sommes restés plus tard dans la journée lorsque je serais au bureau mais Lundi est la journée la plus intense de la semaine et en plus …

(C) Hush Homewear I wish I could tell you that I was going strong with my 30-day Bikram Yoga challenge but it’s not happening….at least it wasn’t until last night but things are about to change. While the first two weeks I felt incredibly focused, I have been struggling to go back to it since I had a week off because of a gastroenteritis. Last night, I drove around for 15 min trying to find a parking space and during these 15 minutes, I came up with all sorts of justifications for not going. We’re good at that, aren’t we?! I can’t even blame my body or a lack of energy. No, it was purely a mental thing… I was in a “really can’t be bothered” kind of space to be polite but then I thought of Steve who would be disappointed because he actually makes time for me to do this and to look after Mila and then I thought how I would be feeling with myself…very disappointed, the kind of feeling that leaves you …
