Ok I admit it I do have some pink gadgets, if the option is there and the pink version is just as good as any other colour then I will always select it, but it isn’t what gets me interested in the gadget in the first place.

A great resource for all of us gadget geeks is Geekalerts.com – they have loads of Geek Products and Discount Coupons as well as news and information about all the latest gadgets and gizmos, it’s updated regularly and often features quirky items I had no idea I even wanted until I read about them.

In the last few months alone I have been on 3 shopping sprees where I have bought new jeans, a new handbag and a new coat among other things and I have also had my hair cut (something I do very rarely!) and had a massage. It’s a great way to reward myself

The next thing I need to get is some shoes though, or more specifically some boots – winter is just around the corner

I found a great voucher code for 20% off at Schuh and as it’s one of my favourite shoe shops any way how could I possibly resist? I always check for voucher codes before buying anything online as there’s usually something out there that will save you at least a few pence.

The only dilemma I have now is that I don’t know which pair to go for as there are three I absolutely love – but couldn’t justify getting them all at once.

It’s a good job my parents are visiting tomorrow because my mum is always great at offering her opinion on shoes and every thing else. It’s one of the main things I have missed since moving away from home – shopping with my mum and getting her opinion on everything

The fall fashion season is upon us and I could not be happier, I think it’s my favourite fashion season (also the television is pretty great ) because I just love the idea of wrapping up warm and I love wearing long boots. I have already bought a new coat this season but still want to get plenty more. It’s one of the many advantages of losing weight – there’s always an excuse to buy new clothes as the weather changes

I would love to go to the Liz Claiborne New York Outlets and just dive in. It’s hard to say how long I would be there but given I can spend 4 hours in Matalan alone I am guessing I could easily spend an entire day from dusk til dawn and that would be under normal circumstances, never mind right now when they have 40 – 70% off absolutely everything, this includes all the newest fall items, how could any girl resist?

Seriously what are you waiting for, find your nearest Liz Claiborne store, hop in your car, grab a girlfriend or two along the way and shop til you drop!

I’ve been at it again, treating myself.

This definitely seems to be my new thing, rewarding myself with shopping for clothes and cosmetics and jewellery and other girlie goodness. I never used to bother treating myself so am not sure why now that I am almost at my goal weight I have started to do so, but I like it

Bottega Verde is one of my (many) favourite cosmetics brands but you could only get their products in Italy previously. Now they are coming to the USA thanks to the Internet so that we can order all their goodies online and I am very excited. I absolutely love their aloe products as I have sensitive skin and have always found aloe vera really gentle but still effective.

Check out this gorgeous Italian package they are offering as well, I think I would kill someone to own that as it would sit perfectly in my collection

That will have to wait until my next ‘treat’ though as I just spent far too much to celebrate my ‘normal’ BMI on a gorgeous brand new size 10 coat.

I have just spent far too much time and far too much money on BH Cosmetics, but that’s OK, I deserve a treat. I have reached another weight loss goal – weighing in at 8.13 I am now under 9 stone and have not been in the 8′s since I was a very young teenager. Obviously I don’t want to reward myself with food so shopping for clothes, accessories and make up is the next best thing

I got a gorgeous new coat that is a size 10 – the lowest I have ever been and as I say, just ordered a load of gorgeous makeup goodies from BH Cosmetics. I have never used their products before but a few friends do and they have been telling me how great they are so I decided to give them a go.

The BH Cosmetics eyeshadow have come most highly recommended because it is highly pigmented, bendable and has really strong staying power which would suit my long days perfectly as I don’t want to have to worry about reapplying – once or at most twice per day is plenty for me.

I am excited for when all my packages get here

The migraine continued for a few more days, so last night was the first time I worked out — I did an hour on the Wii Fit. Tonight I will get on my elliptical for the first time in many days. I hate working out, really, even after 2 years I still do…but I have to admit I have missed it.

I did have some good news (or, a good experience more like) yesterday though when I went shopping for a wedding outfit — it was so nice to be able to just pick up items, dresses and fancy tops and skirts I wouldn’t normally even consider, try them on and like them — I was discarding things because they weren’t weddingy enough, or because the weren’t bright enough etc, rather than because they didn’t fit or I didn’t like the way I looked in them.

I came home with two size 14 items, and one size 12.

Size 12

I have not been in a size 12 since I was a teenager

It made me think about what it’d really be like to have to go through that, and where I’d most like to get relocated to if I had to. It didn’t take me long to come to the conclusion it’d be New York City, aside from the fact it’d be pretty easy to get lost in such a big place – NYC is just so iconic, the skyline, the statue of liberty, Manhattan – I can’t imagine it’d be too hard to enjoy a new life there

The site features a large array of interesting and well written articles on a wide range of subjects, the most recent one asking the question ‘Does Green tea aide weight loss’ which I personally found very intersting, I ‘gave up’ regular tea when I started trying to lose weight and replaced it with green after reading about the benefits, so it’s a subject of interest to me.

The site also has an ‘Ask Mike’ section where you can get your questions answered, and Mike also has his own more personal weblog on the site called Mike’s Blog that covers a lot about Fat Loss Nutrition and they have their very own ‘Naked Nutrition Radio Show’.

This is definitely one site I have bookmarked so that I can return to it and soak up as much of the useful information as possible
