Saturday Snapshot - August 4th

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by At Home With Books. To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky below. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.


This week I started my new job (so now I have two!). I make the desserts in a restaurant on a camp site near where I live, and I am enjoying it there, although it is like being in a sauna it's soooo hot! 


This is the shirt I wear, and I wear an apron on top: (all black, my parents say it's like I'm going to a funeral, but they also say I look slim in black so it's not entirely a bad thing and plus I like black clothing.) 




I had a night in with my friends, which somehow lead to a fight with whipped cream.. and me having multiple bruises from wrestling during that... (I may be small but I'm a fighter!) 


My poor arm, the photo doesn't even show the damage that much: 


Apart from the day with my friends where we ate BBQ stuff and junk basically, I've been doing well with eating healthy and working out! (determined to go back to college fit)

This was an extra yummy smoothie me and my mum threw together: 

Fresh Pineapple
Fresh ripe Mango
Coconut shreds
Crushed Ice


But really you can throw any fruits together in a blender and it tastes yummy, last week there were only scraps of fruit left and I used something like: A few frozen rasps, half a banana, half an avocado, half a nectarine and a slice of mango - and it was yummy! 


I just love experimenting with them to be honest, if any of you have any favourite smoothie recipes I would love to try them!


Hope everyone had a lovely week, lets hope the sun comes back soon, and enjoy your weekend!

    Whether in black or not, you are slim and healthy. I always thought I could be slimmer or fitter and never appreciated the size I was. Now I look back and think, "Hey! I looked good. Why was I listening to a nay-saying society that told me otherwise." Your smoothie looks delicious. Here's Mine

    Thank you, just little comments like that really boost my confidence, I am working on getting more toned, that's my aim anyway, but I am doing it the healthy way rather than starving myself, it's not for society, this is for me. :)

    That arm looks so painful! Smoothy looks great though! :) My favorite is blueberries, strawberries and a little bit of orange juice. That's mostly because I have had a freezer full of those berries for most of the year, but I used up the last of the strawberries last month. We've been having a lot of blueberry desserts lately to finish those off.

    Ouch. Who would have thought a whipped creme fight could lead to that kind of bruising! The smoothies sound good. I just eat the fruit and never bother to blend it up.

    The smoothies sound good. I keep saying I'll have a go and experiment with some, but I always end up eating fresh fruit. I'm trying to lose weight, so smoothies might make a nice change. Hope youe arm is better by the way.
