Simple dinner party idea

I love Ikea! I love the style, practical design, simplicity and their prices!

Meeting friends can be so difficult with everyone being so busy and skint so making the whole process of meeting up and having fun easier is my aim for 2016!

There is a new page on Ikea's website with all sorts of design ideas. My favourite is the idea where guests each brings a dish and friends come together for a delicious, "cheap" dinner party (on a Sunday but this could be any other day really).  

I love to host dinner parties but they can sometimes be difficult to organise, friends then feel like they need to "return the favour" so keeping it simple and also fun by trying different dishes sounds like a great idea!

  • ½ onion—chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic—chopped
  • 1½ tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Maldives

I didn't blog about my wedding in the Maldives in October but here are a few photos. This was without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. We stayed in Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives, an all inclusive resort and we enjoyed spa treatments, delicious food and drinks. It wasn't cheap but it was so worth it.

Things that made me happy this week

So every week seems to be crazy with work and so many things happening. The things that made me really happy were:


1. Reading "Beyong Happiness" which was great! Highly recommend it.


2. My hubby and I have started yoga camp (yoga with Adriene) which is amazing! I've tried yoga classes in the past but Adriene makes it so easy and fun. Check out her website yogawithadriene.com.

3. Listening to "Sleeping at last" for hours! (sleepingatlast.com)

Have a fab weekend.
