Despite my last post suggesting I’m not going to be around much, TiLT is something of an addiction of mine, I think I use it as a kind of therapy when I’m feeling down, and definitely as an outlet for my general feeling of yayness when everything’s good! This week’s been a bit mixed, but I have quite a few things to be happy about:
* Movies - On Sunday afternoon the boy and I went to see Star Trek and Angels and Demons, the plan was just to see the former, but we then realised that the amazing crepe stand in town had taken over the cafe in the cinema, so we had crepes and shakes for dinner then went to see a second movie. On Monday we went into Leicester to see Coralinein 3D (Loughborough cinema doesn’t have a digital projector). Great fun!
* Amazing Customer Service - I went into L’Occitane to continue my search for the perfect summer perfume, which I found in their Green Tea Eau de Toilette, which I love! It’s really fresh and summery-smelling, and lasts all day! The staff are always great in their stores, but this time we had free glasses of sparking rose and it was generally fabulous! Plus, I’m a complete sucker for shops that put free sample sachets in the bags with purchases!
* Getting back on the diet wagon- It’s so much easier during the warmer weather! I’m not cutting out carbs, but I’m cutting down on the needless ones, not snacking on bread, etc. Also, booze is limited to special occasions (so I can still indulge in cocktails this weekend).
* Weekend Plans – The Manics gig that I’ve been looking forward to for months, and dressing up for it! Parties and catching up with good friends, it’s going to be expensive but fabulous!
* Journal For Plague Lovers – It probably hasn’t escaped your notice that I love The Manic Street Preachers, but their last few albums haven’t really been up to the standard they used to produce. The latest offering however, is amazing and I’ve had it playing on repeat for most of the week!
* Being Warm – I feel the cold really badly at the moment, so the lovely warm weather makes me very happy! I really appreciate being able to relax at home, without worrying about the gas bill yet with warm hands and feet for once!
* Freebies! – I’ve been doing a lot of freebie-hunting recently, it’s great fun and although it tends to generate a lot of junk mail, I love receiving and trying out free samples! I think there may be a post worth writing on this subject actually.
* Other – Planning what to write once my exams are over (procrastination I know!), people complimenting my hair, yet more strawberries…, Delicious food from Yo! Sushi, being indulgent and taking a taxi when tired / carrying a lot of heavy bags, new writing ideas, wearing New Rocks with summer dresses, glitter eyeliner, filling USB sticks with delightful things for people, energy shots (I’m going to need them this weekend!), laughter.
What’s been making your week sparkle and glitter?
I saw Coraline in 3D and it was wicked. I loved watching it.
I’d love to read an article about freebies. I’ve considered joining those sites where you sign up and get free samples, but was never sure and though I’d just get a bunch on junk.
Great TILT!
I also saw Coraline in 3D and it was awesome. 
Argh, having now seen you post about it and the other comments here, I really want to see Coraline – unfortch I´m on holiday in Spain atm, and I don´t think it´ll be out when I get back!
Although, being on holiday would also be high on my list of TiLT this week too!
Enjoy the cocktails! x
The cocktails were lovely thanks, if a little expensive! x
