Happy Thursday! This week has sparkled thanks to:
* Studying – Yes, I must be a bit of a freak, but I’m really enjoying getting back into studying properly again after a bir of a break over the summer. I’m sure it won’t last, so I’d better make the most of my new-found motivation while I can!
* Bento – I’ve only used it a couple of times so far, but my new bento box is great! I’m taking lots of fresh delicious food to work as opposed to buying sandwiches, or taking processed ready-to-microwave food, and I’m sure in the long-term I’ll feel a lot better for it. It looks like the cute has worked – I do feel more motivated to make healthy lunches now I have something adorable to take them in! Photos possibly coming soon.
* Small Victories – Beating work colleagues at Facebook games gives me far more satisfaction than it should, though one of the women from banking is still the queen of Bejeweled Blitz.
* Come-backs – You know when the absolute perfect comeback springs to mind and you still have time to say it? I’ve had a few of those moments recently (usually I’m way too late) and there’s something exceedingly gratifying about it!
* Other – Saving money by wearing a hoodie and nursing a hot chocolate instead of turning the heating on, more post ideas (I just wish I had more time to write), cheap comfort food, going to bead early with a good (or just entertainingly trashy) book, cherry vodka, my “new” red ankle boots, coconut body butter, reminiscing about old Neighbours plotlines from years gone by (and bonding over early teenage crushes on Sam the handyman), finally being able to apply lipliner well.
What’s made your week sparkle?
I love studying too, and bento boxes (could you please give us some details of the healthy lunches you’re packing? I’d love some inspiration!)
What are these bento boxes that everyone keeps talking about? They sound intriguing!
I’ve also been loving hot chocolate instead of the heater this week, perfect for early Autumn.

Mmm, cherry vodka is my favorite! Esp. when mixed with a Red Bull/Rockstar energy drink. It’s like drinking a sweettart…
Mmm – cherry vodka. I love cherries and I’m quite fond of vodka too. I’m trying to enjoy the nip in the air, wrap myself up and eat warmer foods.
Amy – A bento is a iind of food container with lots of seperate compartments. Lots of websites and pictures all over the web. Try http://lunchinabox.net/faq/#FAQ1 or have a peek at my lunchbox http://tinyurl.com/mxjsnj or http://tinyurl.com/lg2plq
