7 days, 7 things.

It's that time of the week again, the usual weekly roundup. Here's 7 things from the past 7 days in the land of Laura...

1. On Thursday I met up with my Mum's cousin for coffee and lunch, she lives in the same city I go to University in so it's great getting to see her more often whilst I'm here! We started off in the good ol' M&S cafe for a cuppa then moved onto Gourmet Burger Kitchen for the ultimate lunch. I went for my all time favourite burger, the bacon avocado, and paired it with some skinny fries. I was shocked at just how skinny they were! But it did mean I could shove about 7 in my mouth at the same time without feeling too guilty. After that we wandered round the shops and ended up in Zara, which leads me onto number 2...

2. Upon ending up in Zara, I landed myself two amazing sale bargains. Zara seem to go crazy on reducing items once the sale has been around a while, and they still had LOADS left. I managed to find myself a gorgeous stripy top/jumper for £5.99 (was £17.99) and a seriously cool pair of black denim dungaree/overalls for £7.99 (were £39.99!!). Expect some pictures of these in a post soon!

3. Another exciting purchase that arrived this week was my Breville Blend Active. I've wanted one of these for so long, so when I had a few spare pennies left at the end of last week I took the plunge and ordered one. I've made one juice in it so far (apple, carrot, raspberries, kale and spinach), which was really yummy but not a particularly nice colour. Think I'm going to try a berry and yogurt combo tomorrow!

4. I got the results back for one of the essays I did over Christmas last Thursday and I got a first wahoo! It was in a class that I previously didn't do too well in so I was extremely happy with my result! Despite it being a last minute kind of essay, I still put lots of time into it and it clearly paid off! The results came at a good time as they've inspired me to put lots of work into my essay that's due in next week, in the hope of getting a similar result!

5. Yet another good thing happened this week! I posted a guest post on Shanna's blog that featured 4 different looks for 4 different occasions this valentines day. It would mean the world to me if you could go check it out, say hello to Shanna and leave me a little comment telling me what you thought! I'm really proud of how the post looks, and I love the pictures I took for it too, the lighting was just right! You can check out the post by clicking here.

6. I still have yet to start my goal of losing a little of the weight I've put on since starting Uni a year and a half ago. I'm seriously un-motivated despite wanting to lose it so badly. I don't get how that works! I get so down about it, yet I make no effort to do something about it! Help! I'm considering doing a tea-tox to help kick start the weight loss, as I feel like once I see a little bit come off I'll be more motivated to get rid of the rest. What do you guys recommend for getting started?

7. Finally, I've seen a big improvement in the growth of my eyebrows (yay! no more weird bald patches) since using a new growth serum product on them, Expect a post very soon! 

What have you guys and dolls been up to this past week?
