I don't really know where to go with this post - I weighed myself today & was told I've put on yet more weight. However the machine also added a good two inches to my height, so I'm very confused.
I think it highlights the importance of weighing yourself properly - Once a week, on the same day, at the same time, & in the same clothes. I usually try use my Wii Fit to weight myself but it's been out of batteries recently, so I used a machine in a pharmacy. And I don't know whether to trust them!
I mean, I had a good week. Weetabix for breakfast (I usually skip breakfast or worse, grab a cereal bar or something & run out the door), a wrap/ salad/ soup & sandwich for lunch, and stir fry/ pasta for dinner. No snacks during my tea break, just fruit tea, and I have had a treat in the evening. Coupled with a walk at lunch time & another in the evening, and I am getting downhearted.
If I'm honest, I am at the stage where I feel like it's worth my while going to the doctor. I'm constantly tired & when I'm actively trying to lose weight but putting it on, I just think she might be able to help!
Have you ever had confusion about weight loss etc? Feel free to comment!

NIMA Mitt
Hey everyone!
I received a NIMA Mitt about six weeks ago & have been using it religiously since then, to give the best review possible. The mitt is used for removing make up, without using any cleanser.
Originally, I was slightly confused - How could I take off my daily make up just using a mitt? I wasn't the only one. My friend asked what the difference between this & a face cloth was. There's a big difference!
The NIMA Mitt is a pink mitt made of microfibres. By just running it under warm water, you can remove make up quickly & easily. Just rub it over your face & you can see the residue on the mitt. Plus, it desn't hesitate to tackle eye make up! I wear heavy eyeliner and have no problems taking it off. It does take slightly longer than using a remover, because you're not breaking down the make up, but it doesn't tug at the eye area.
In addition, the microfibres give your skin a light exfoliation, without irritating it. I now use my NIMA Mitt during the week & switch to a cream cleanser at the weekend. I use a n exfoliator at the weekend but that's sufficient. Because I'm using less products, I find my skin is much better behaved!
To clean the mitt, just rub a bar of soap against it, rub it together & rinse. It has a little loop of ribbon, so I hang it on my window to dry. It is important to follow cleaning instructions - I had no soap one night & used baby shampoo since I use that for brushes, but it stayed grubby.
The NIMA Mitt costs €12.95 & is available online.

MAC Archie's Girls in Daddy's Little Girl
Hi girls!
Well, like I said on Saturday, here is the other lipstick I picked up from MAC's latest collection. Veronica's 'Daddy's Little Girl' is a 'mid-tone pink violet satin' lipstick.
It's definitely opaque, and comes up as quite a bright deep pink, with blue undertones. The satin finish wasn't drying, and lasted as I gobbled down my dinner so you won't need to constantly re-apply it! It also didn't seem to stain glasses, etc as much as other lipsticks and as it faded, it was even & just ended up looking like a stain after a few hours.
I love pinky purple lips, so this is right up my street. Even though it's quite bright, I feel more confident with shades like this than paler ones! It's not neon, but with a few coats, it does stand out.
Daddy's Little Girl is €19.50, in Brown Thomas.
Which colour do you prefer?

The bullet looks really purple!
