Foodie Post: Homemade Chilli and Jacket Spud

If your following me on Instragram you may have noticed that I have started posting pictures of foods recently :) Yesterday I posted a picture of a lovely chilli which we made last night! It was so lovely - healthy and was less that a tenner for 3 of us! Bargain! 
We used a Coleman's mix to make the chilli, all you need to add is the chilli beans, the mince and some onion. We picked the meat and the Coleman's mix from a local butchers in town, the mince was £2.35 for a pound, the Coleman's mix was 99p. We had the Jacket Potatoes from the market which were 4 for £1. I know its convenient but I think we have lost the buying from local stores or markets. Its so convenient to buy things from the Supermarket now but I really couldn't believe how cheap the mince was! And the Jacket Potatoes were twice the size of the ones you get in the Supermarket! Plus the good thing about buying from a local butchers is you can choose just buy as much as you want! Which is great if there are just 1 or 2 of you!

I have started to kick back in to slimming world, I have been doing it for a while and have already lost a stone but have kicked back in full steam! I am really focused at the moment so you may be seeing a lot more foodie posts of things I am enjoying! I shall be posting things on my instagram too so if you see anything on there you fancy knowing how I have made then let me know and I shall do a post on it :)

Saturday Shopping Hawl - Boots

So as you know I brought some lovely new boots on Saturday when I into town but I also nipped into boots. Their lovely 3 for 2 offer is back and I couldnt resist picking up a few bits that I have had my eye on.

Philips Sonicare Toothbrush - £49.99 (reduced from £121.99)
Rimmel Eye Liner Pencils in Nude, Jungle Green and Purple - £2.99 & £3.99
Models Own Nail Polish in Snowflake (Wonderland Collection), Blizzard (Wonderland Collection) and Purple Blue (Beetle Juice Collection) - £5
 
My toothbrush has been due an upgrade for a while but I hadn't got round to finding one. I saw one in the Boots Christmas catalog - a Colgate one that I had my eye on and actually wanted when I went into Boots but i changed my mind when I noticed that my local boots store did not stock the heads to it. However I noticed that they had the Philips Sonicare toothbrush on an amazing offer. It was over 50% off and in my view anything which was sold at £121.99 must be pretty darn good, and I have heard fab things about it. I will do a proper review but I am loving it. 
I also picked up some Rimmel pencils which were part of the 3 for 2 - I got one of the new shades - the nude one which I have been wearing on my waterline that makes my eyes look brighter, a purple one and a jungle green one. I also picked up 2 of the new wonderland collection from Models Own which are lovely (again it I will do seperate reviews) and a purple blue one from the Beetle Juice collection. Keep you eye out for that in tomorrows NOTD. 

Have you taken advantage of the 3 for 2 offer back in Boots?

New Boots

I have been on the search for a new pair of boots which I could wear for everyday for a while now however my chunky legs usually leave me sad and depressed when trying to find any. I popped into New Look on Saturday with my mum and I fell in love with a pair. I wasnt hopeful as I tried them on, especially when I saw they were pull on with no zip. However no only did they go up my leg, they didnt look bad!


As I said they were from New Look and they were a total bargain at £24.99. They do them in brown too which were really nice but I dont really wear a lot of brown and went with the old cliche that black goes with everything!
 
I have only worn them a couple of times but I am in love already! I cant wait to wear them with some chunky autumn winter stuff or some thick coloured tights :)
