1. Mug cakes. A cake in minutes? Genius. All you need is a microwave, a mug, and ingredients. So bad for you, but oh-so-good on a cold winter’s afternoon. Going like hot cakes in the Pink household. My current fave is ginger cake. Delish.
2. Neighbours. I really missed it over Christmas. I’ve watched it since it started (with a couple of breaks for uni and when I lived in America) and I just can’t get enough. Dr Karl is a legend. (Yep, he’s still in it. And still brilliant.
3. Winter decorations. Taking down the Christmas decorations is my saddest day of the year. But I can keep the snowflakes, right? As they aren’t Christmas decorations. Just seasonal. Yep.
And the beautiful bird was a gift, and comes from a very talented artist called Zeena Shah.
4. Ocado. How middle class am I? But they delivered the next day and all the food had at least five days left before its BB date, unlike any other online supermarkets I have tried. Plus I had a 20% off code.
5. Smoked paprika. See above. I think I am addicted. This easy peasy Jamie Oliver recipe is on heavy rotation in my kitchen:
Hit ‘n’ Run Chicken (takes SOOO much better than it sounds, promise!)
6. CBeebies Christmas Panto. Mr Bloom stars as Peter Pan. What’s not to like? And the girls absolutely love it. So much so I think I might take them to a real live panto next year! Sorry, this clip doesn’t actually feature Mr Bloom, if that’s all you’re interested in ๐ I couldn’t find one unfortunately.
7. Fashion by Mayhem. This five year old girl is AMAZING. She recreates celebrities’ red carpet dresses out of paper, all by herself. I recommend you follow her mum on Instagram and see her creations:
8. Flamingos. So cheerful. So pink. So me. I need these on my bathroom wall (just need to save up a bit!):
9. Sweet Izzi. Heart-achingly beautiful paper flowers. I. want. them. all. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Overt hinting to Dr Pink has already taken place.
10. Mollie Makes Magazine.ย I subscribe to this beautiful crafting magazine. I endeavour to make time to make. I mainly just look and admire.
