All I need for relaxing afternoon off work: coffee and a book.
My bookshelves had become way too messy in these past few weeks so I had to spend a good chunk of my day rearranging my books. Now I'm one happy (and kinda-organized) bookworm.
It's been raining for four days! Why Christchurch? I desperately need to take blog photos, but the lighting is terrible #bloggerproblems
If you saw my post, you'll know I made galaxy cupcakes! I used the recipe from Rosanna Pansino's cookbook Nerdy Nummies. They were a lot easier to make than I thought and taste amazing!
I made my own gnocchi for dinner! It's just Ricotta cheese, flour and an egg.
I finally got a new drink bottle! It's the perfect size (950ml) so it's not too big, yet I know I only have to drink two of these a day to stay hydrated. I like keeping track of those kinds of things; plus the writing describes me perfectly!
Oh I've missed Dan and Phil! They brought out a new Sims video this week and I have completely forgotten how funny there are. I also had another personal training session today and I'm really excited to get back and work on my dead-lifts.
Here's my typical Saturday morning set-up: breakfast in bed while I watch YouTube, chat on Twitter and get some blog work done. I usually work at my desk, but weekends are for relaxing!
We went to the Re-Start mall to check out our favorite fitness store Lululemon. I could honestly spend so much money in there! Plus we had to stop for coffee even though it was a scorching hot day.
We drove by a new playground in the city center and decided to stop for ice-cream. It's hard in Christchurch nowadays to find somewhere bustling with people, so this was really nice.
Sunday always means baking! I tried the chocolate chip cookie recipe from Nerdy Nummies and they turned out great. I did manage to burn my fingers quite badly taking them out of the oven (oops!) but it was worth it for these.
I pretty much spent that remaining hours of Sunday editing posts and watching Dan and Phil Games on YouTube. A relaxing way to end a great week!
I hope January is treating you well so far : )
What was your favorite part of the past week?

I still think those galaxy cupcakes look amazing. Ricotta gnocchi (homemade) is also one of my favourite things, it's so so good! It tastes really good with an eggplant and tomato sauce as well :)

Thanks! They were surprisingly easy to make. I am definitely making my gnocchi with eggplant next time, sounds so good!

I love these posts! You always have such awesome pictures which definitely inspire me to practice taking better ones myself! I have the Nerdy Nummies book too, but am yet to bake anything from it as I lent it to my 13 year old baking mad cousin! :p Gnocchi is one on my absolute favourite things to make with my Grandad, yours look delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteWe did lots of fun book related things last week which were my highlights! yay books! :)
