This theme is a little bit more for the boys, lots of red and wood! Perfect for a relaxed outdoor wedding. I am thinking spring, summer or autumn!

GET THE LOOK: Lego Themed Wedding
I can not believe that after 3 years of blogging about themed weddings I have only now considered covering off Lego! It's Lego, how could I forget about it.
From Wedding cakes, to rings and ring holders, flowers, table decorations, seating plans, name cards, gifts and so much more you can have as much and as little Lego theme as you like :-)

GET THE LOOK: Birthday Themed Wedding
So I realised yesterday there is a month until my birthday, which got my thinking.. a lot of guys propose on birthdays (is this an easy option?), so could you get married on your birthday or have a birthday themed wedding, after all a birthday doesn't have a theme other than to celebrate!

The Weekend Friendly Diet = 4:3 Diet
I've been hearing all about this 5:2 diet, where you fast your body two days a week... since I just can't manage only 500 calories for one day I've come up with my own diet that's slightly more friendly and easier to manage... just takes a little more time to get the results, hopefully they should last longer though?
The 4:3 diet (or the weekend friendly diet as I call it) consists of 4 days a week, usually Monday through Thursday eating only 1200 calories (1500 if male) which can not include carbs, red meat, sugar, salt or spices. Best to sick with white meat, fish, only pepper and steam or grilled - plus lots of veg. Drink lots of water and green tea.
You also need to include 30 - 60 mins of cardio exercise and toning each day Monday through Friday. I also try to do a 15 min run Saturday and Sunday (doesn't always happen).
After low fat breakfast (I am sticking to a small bowl of Alpen) on Friday you can eat and drink as you please until Monday morning :-)
I've been sticking to these rules for 2 weeks now and I've already lost 1/2 inch from my stomach and some of my thighs and bum... I don't like to weigh myself as I don't think it reflects the weight loss.

Engagement Ring shopping... yay or nay?
So do you think it is appropriate to take your boyfriend to look at engagement rings before he's even proposed... maybe months before he does?
When you are with the right person, and you plan to spend the rest of your lives together these conversations do come up, the prospect of marriage, children, houses etc. maybe way before you are ready to take those seteps... but with the knowledge that one day you will be proposed to (finger crossed nothing goes wrong) is it not okay to give them an idea of what kind of ring you would be happy to have on your finger for the rest of your lives?
I certainly think so, in fact when I was previously engaged, I had taken my partner to see the ring I had picked out - he hadn't even prosed!
Now I am in another serious relationship, we've been together a year, living together for 3 months, and the conversations of engagements, weddings, babies, houses are all starting to arise... should I let him know my taste now or does that just make the man feel pressured, not that I am asking for it now now now?

Wedding Gifs... who doesn't love a gif?
I am currently obsessed with London Grumblr and Cat Shaming (okay cat shaming isn't all gifs but who doesn't love cats!).
