Happy Monday!
Sigh. Looks like our #HeatWave is over eh?
Such grey and rainy-ness in London today…
I mean, I don’t mind rain THAT much. But I much prefer it when I’m home under the duvet and have access to Netflix and an endless supply of tea and hot chocolate!
It’s not quite the same viewed from a dusty office window is it?
So, fired up by coffee and the miserable weather, I finally fiiiiinally got round to making my Happy Monday playlist this morning!
I added all my dancey, happy favourite choons, and put out a call on Twitter for you guys to send me your faves as well.
And you all came up trumps!
We’ve got everything from S Club 7 to Ingrid Michaelson, from Michael Jackson to ABBA. And I for one am IN LOVE WITH IT.
Here’s the link to the current playlist, and please feel free to comment below and let me know if you think there’s anything else I should add to it.
I’m looking for that song that’s guarranteed to always make you smile, dance and feel all fired up for the day! :)
(I’ve also embedded it at the end of this post so scroll down to listen to it here.)
1. Zomato’s 7th Birthday Party! Cocktails and giant pizzas and overdue catchups with one of my favourite ladies. I had a blast, and it once again made me so freaking grateful for blogging and everything it’s brought to me ♥
2. Bircher Muesli. I used to have this ALL THE TIME but I cut it out once I realised exactly how much sugar it involves (hint: a lot). But I treated myself to a pot from Pret on Saturday and it was a beautiful, beautiful moment in my weekend.
3. Shackfuyu food blogger date. I finally got to meet the lovely Vicky from Dalton-Banks and it was a definite highlight of my week! What a babe. Also the French Toast was everything my dessert dreams are made of.
4. J.K.Rowling defending Serena Williams. Queen of Twitter meets Queen of Wimbledon. Utter legends the pair of them.
5. Wrapping myself in a duvet and playing Sims 3 for the whole of Sunday. I’m not even sorry. It was everything I ever wanted from a geeky, relaxing, no-plans Sunday.
6. Upgrading my flatlay skillzzz. John Lewis invited me up to their fab roof terrace for cocktails, Rossopomodoro snacks and a photography masterclass. Canon put us into teams and challenged us to do an amazing flatlay. AND OUR TEAM WON!!! (We won one bottle of Pimms-flavoured cider to share between the four of us. In case you were wondering.) Here’s our winning shot:

7. 30 Day Shred. I did the first day of 30 Day Shred yesterday. With weights. And now I can’t feel my buttocks or my thighs. Or, more exactly, I can feel them and they buuuuuuurn like hell. But it feels good. And I’m excited to get back into it. Because strength-training is actually my favourite of all exercise. And that’s not even sarcasm.
8. Whatsapp group chats. I have several of these on the go, with several different groups of friends, and they all make me smile several times a day. I heart my friends and I heart technology.
9. Commute Blog. OHMYGOD YOU GUYS I LOVE IIIIT. It’s like Humans of New York but for London and on the tube. And it makes my heart happy. I spent a big chunk of my Friday reading the backlog. It’s amazing. Seriously.
10. Junk food socks. I feel like, if I were a pair of socks, I would be this pair of New Look socks.
So there you go. 10 things that have rocked my world this week.
What have you all been up to? :)
