Things I'm enjoying:






I saw these yummy looking treats at the grocery store and thought what the hell why not try em!! When I opened the package they were quite tiny and not very impressive, looked like cake in a bowl. I must say the end result was quite good! The cake was moist ( I'm cringing, I HATE that word!!) and the pudding tasted like lemons! The portion turned out to be perfect and I really enjoyed the warm yummy tart treat!




Mmmmm I'm super in love with the Salted Caramel Mocha Frappucino from Starbucks! When they first came out I had a few too many but have since calmed down. It's bizarre as I'm not a fan of salt at all and don't put it on anything however the different flavours in this bevy make my mouth water!




I saw some random guy wearing a white watch in the summer (can one wear a white watch after labour day?) and thought it looked rather sharp! I kept my eyes open when low and behold I found this gem, a beautiful big fun Toy Watch. It was the same brand as my skull watch which I adore so I thought, what the hell! The price was a bit steep but luckily I found the same bloody watch elsewhere for half the price (shout out to my American peeps)! I love everything about it, the size, the cute little crystals inside and the way they sparkle in the light!!

Okay I don't actually OWN a snuggie! I mean hello, when these first came out I was appalled by their sight and thought only a HUGE loser would buy one. Friends got them as gifts and I'd ask if the giver disliked them! Skip ahead a year (few years...whatever) and I totally want one!! I was at a friends recently freezing my arse off when she pulled out her snuggie to help warm me up! I was toasty in no time and the only complaint I had was the largeness of the garment/blanket. It was huge.....but that can totally be fixed by my dress maker!


Surprisingly I've been losing weight again! I say surprisingly considering my first two "things I'm enjoying" are fatty treats! I took a slight detour with my goal but I'm back at it and lost a whopping 4.6 lbs in 10 days! I didn't starve myself or do anything weird, I simply tracked what I ate and worked out! I know every week will not be like that, heck I'd be surprised if I ever see such a big loss in such a short time again but I tell ya that made me want to work harder than ever as I am creeping closer and closer to my goal!


PS Please tell me you didn't think my labour day question was serious!!! I actually think "not" being able to wear white after a certain day is ludicrous! I mean who cares, wear what you want when you want!

Those pudding cakes look amazing! I'll have to try them sometime!

The SCMF is amazing! And if you get it made light (with no whip) there is nothing fatty at all about it! In fact, I would say it's a healthy treat because it's delicious and low-cal and could prevent you from, ummm, like eating a cake or something. It's the best. I haven't had one in awhile, but I'm thinking it might be my Halloween treat.

I was freezing the other night and thought "it might be time to get a snuggie". Argh. I didn't know they were so big. It's probably 'cuz there are a lot of cold obese ppl out there.

Congrats on the weight loss! That's amazing! Well done!

I am so jealous of that Starbucks drink. It doesn't exist over here!

I'm another changer on the Snuggie...I so want one now!

Huge well done on the weight loss, that's awesome!

Oh the word "moist" is awful! I think it's a female thing. I just had that discussion with friends on Friday night.

I kind of want a snuggie as well.

Christielli, I'll be honest I haven't had the frap made light! Does it taste the same? I find with the Pumpkin Spice Latte I can't go light (though get it sans whipped), it just tastes odd but with other drinks there I can.

Claire, a reason you should come for a visit then!! They make a hot one as well but I'm not super fond of it!

PrincessB, there are several words that make me cringe but moist is up there blech!

I love how all of us want a snuggie!! Hilarious! Apparently they come in fancy patterns too like leopard, zebra etc!

swatch makes a line of watches, all single colour in a variety of colours. it has a silicone band so it's comfy and doesn't show wear like leather

I had a lot of fun imaginig a Miss Ash wrapped in snuggie on a couch, wearing her white watch in November, eating yummy grocery treats, drinking salty drinks - converting metrics on the weight machine. Good for you!

I SO want a snuggie! We were talking about it at work because it's been a little chilly in our office. I might order one - it's actually a genius idea.

Glad everything is going well with you.

I love my snuggie. I bought one for my whole family and we took a picture on the beach all wearing them.

Congrats on the weight loss! What a great feeling.

My wife bought me a camoflauge snuggie. I've used it once. She uses it at the office, as it's cold there.

Miss Ash said...

WIGSF, I'll have to check them out, next in line is bright pink!

Yrautca, ha!!! A lovely thought!

Rawbean, I think we should all just get one! They are ginormous though so they have to be taken in and up!

Berly, that's hilarious! Why on the beach?? Thanks, the weightloss is coming slowly but surely!

Wiwille, you didn't like it or she took it over?

berly02 said...

The beach was the only time we were all together and we wanted to exaggerate the hilariousness of the Suggie.
