I don't know if it's just my taste buds dulling over time, or the lack of artificial colours (or maybe both?) but they don't taste as good as they used to when I was a child?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Macarons! Paul took me to a Macaron making course recently. It was AMAAAAZING, and was just in the arches at London Fields. A lot simpler to make than first appears. But it's all in the technique, which I guess the books don't really tell you. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We visited Margate recently, as we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It's not too far from London, and we hear it's all kicking off.</div>

Whereas I don't think I am ready to leave London just yet, I definitely felt a rumble there. It was really refreshing to see this seaside town redeveloping, and at the forefront of it was the Turner gallery- pictured below.</div>

One of the best things about leaving the band was that I didn't have to be away for extended periods of time away from home or Paul. So when he was recently away for three nights, I really missed him. Although it is good to miss people I think, it makes you really appreciate them, that little bit more.</div>

A bit premature, but I'm playing catch up - AGAIN. This was my first crème egg of the Easter season, avec jasmine tea- of course. I still stick by my guns, that novelty chocolate- as opposed to off the shelf- tastes better, this includes advent and Easter. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Melting heart, my ultimate current favourite... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>BENEFITS:</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many, many benefits. It releases tension in you upper arms, shoulders, and neck. Also expands the whole front of your chest. Melting heart stretches out your abdominal muscles, and gently stimulates your back muscles in preparation for further backbends. On top of this it also opens up your hips and stretches your hamstrings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>TO GET INTO IT:</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Come onto your hands and knees, and begin to walk your hands forward, melting your heart centre towards the floor. Try to keep your hips above your knees and your hands shoulder width apart. Breathe deep in this intense stretch for 10-20 full breath cycles. Notice how the neck reacts to the pose, if it is more comfortable place the forehead near the floor instead of the chin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Tattoos, tattoos, tattoos... Forever wanting to get one, then ducking out at the last minute. Well now it's settled, it's decided. I shall be getting this with my very best friend Rachel. Some may say this is a bit soppy or high school, but frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Paul and I recently purchased some prints from our extremely talented friend <a href="http://lassedearman.dk/">Lasse Dearman</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We met him when we were both in bands, he takes the most mesmerising shots of bands. He excels in intimate situations, and documents and just captures every single moment perfectly. We are really pleased with the prints and cant wait to get them up on the wall!</div>

The sofa has arrived! Six weeks of waiting, and it's finally arrived! Randomly, it's from DFS- official grown ups now. Click <a href="http://www.dfs.co.uk/french-connection/results">HERE</a> to see in detail... It's the perfect depth and oh so cosy! I was worried it may be a bit big, as the width of the living room is quite short, but it fits perfectly, and comfortably seats three!</div>

So iPad holders are a nightmare to get hold of. They're either over priced, or hideous, or they break very quickly. This is why I am excited to announce the arrival of this incredible copper iPad holder! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
