Hi everyone, hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend! Its been a very sad one news wise, just makes me remember how precious life is.

Apart from all of that I’ve had a super weekend: I’ve seen some of my wonderful friends, enjoyed a great movie, had a super run, listened to some new music and ate lots of tasty food, what more could a girl like me ask for? I also went to see my Mam and Dad who are celebrating their 30th Wedding Anniversary! I’ll save you the cheesy photo’s but they really are wonderful parents and I’m extremely lucky to have them :-)

Yesterday we headed into town to run some errands, meet up with some friends for a coffee and go and see Harry Potter which I really enjoyed. OOTD:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Floral top with exposed zip up the back: Urban Outfitters, beaded necklaces: Oasis / charity shop, boot cut jeans: French Connection, black and gold gladiator sandals: Primark, Cocktail ring: Topshop, bracelets and bangles: various, Quilted bag: Topshop, floral scarf tied around bag: Accessorize

I loved this outfit and enjoyed layering up plenty of fun accessories for a fun summery look!

We watched the movie at my favourite cinema: The Tyneside Cinema, it has a lovely vintage feel, check out the screen:

So beautiful!

I took along some cinema snackies:

Pink lady apples, sugar snap peas, chocolate chip peanut butter Lara Bar and a pack of ‘skinny’ salted popcorn which was yummy! I also found this tasty sandwich in Boots:

Beetroot, hummus, rocket and cumin seeds on wholemeal bread, vegan, organic and delicious!

While in town I picked up a couple of things for next weekends Kendal Calling Festival including some bargain floral headscarves from New Look and a giant floral waterproof coat although I really hope I don’t need it! I also found these shoes in the Next sale:

I can’t explain how much of a big deal it is to find some pumps that actually fit my wide size 7 1/2 feet and feel really comfortable! Anyone else have difficult feet?

This morning I set out for my long run. It was great, 10 miles in 1.26 with an average pace of 8.39, I was on fire! Best pace over that distance yet and after Wednesdays lack lustre run I was very happy.

Eats have been lush! Yesterday’s breakfast:

Natures Path Mesa Sunrise Cereal with soy yoghurt, peach, raspberries and cashew butter sauce.

Stir fried broccoli, chard, carrot, courgette, red and green pepper and mushrooms with a soy, ginger and sweet chilli sauce plus leftover teriyaki tempeh:

Officially in love with the tempeh now!

Huge slab of dark chocolate:

Loved this, its over an inch thick I had to gnaw at it!

Post run PB&J green smoothie:

Red lettuce, strawberries, strawberry hemp protein powder, maca powder, barley grass, ground flax, msm crystals, coconut nectar, water, ice, xanthan and guar gums for thickness topped with crumbled peanut butter puffins, freeze dried berries, cacao nibs and lashings of smooth salted peanut butter sauce.

Today’s lunch:

Toasted farmers market seeded rye bread with broad bean mash (steamed and double shelled broad beans, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil) carrot sticks, cucumber and a peach. The broad bean mash was really good for something so simple!

New recipe spicy rye bean burgers with half a small baked sweet potato and some steamed greens with shoyu:

These burgers turned out perfectly, recipe to come soon!

I also made a tasty ‘nutella’ pudding by blending ice, hazelnut butter, raw cacao, stevia, water, xanthan and guar gums:

Next time I’m going to add some Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut butter!

I’ve also consumed obscene amounts of this:

I bought a huge watermelon on Friday and I just haven’t been able to get enough, so so good! I have frozen some for future smoothies and slushies :-)

I really enjoyed our trip to the cinema, it felt like a real treat! When was your last trip to the cinema and what did you see? What are your favourite cinema snacks?
