My Week According to my Phone

New shoes from the Office sale

New top from Topshop

New dress from the All Saints sale

Listening to music on my Beats by Dr Dre headphones

Drinking a lot of protein recently..I have a stash like I should be a hulk….

Eating walnuts everyday for the omega 3s

Craving for veggie jelly satisfied. I ate the whole bowl (a whole sachet made up…:P)

Loving Quest bars!

Of course raw chocolate <3 I got this bar from Laura Coxeter who does the most magical chocolates ever. Very talented lady.Dinners in bed because it’s the only warm place in my apartment!

I do not hide the fact that I have an addiction. I drink these chemicals everyday. Life is about balance right?

Looking at these pictures my week looks like it was nice, right? Well I guess there’s always hidden stuff behind the blog that makes life not so great. I do still have a mental battle going on with myself most days and recently for some reason it has worsened as the perfectionist in me seems to be making a come back with my recent efforts to change the way I look I suppose. But what’s important is that I got through the week and ended up feeling okay and feeling relatively strong. I start back at uni tomorrow which might throw me, but I am keeping positive with all the good things in life

What have the highlights of your week been?

My brother is addicted to his Dre Beats. I have tried them out a few times and have to say they are the best out there, love them!

Hello!
I love your new clothes; that black dress looks wonderful on you! I’ve never tried raw chocolate before, but it looks really tempting and delicious That veggie jelly is something I’ve never heard of; must look into it
I start classes for 2nd semester this upcoming week too; NOT looking forward to it, but at least it’s a 4 day week here in the U.S.! The highlight of my week was probably Friday; I had finals all week and finally got to relax!
I’ve had a mental battle going on with myself for sometime too and am learning to fight against it and listen instead to how I’m feeling and looking better than I was a year ago. The perfectionist in me is still struggling, but I’m know that healthier is better than being perfect (which, by my former standards, was actually unhealthy).

Good luck tomorrow and the rest of the week at classes!!!!!

Loving the boots! Where did you get the Quest bars from? I know they don’t do them in Australia, do they do them in the UK somewhere? I wish there were more health food shops in Sheffield, I’ve only managed to find half decent things in Waitrose and Holland and Barratt, and even then that’s only Trek and Nakd bars!
My highlights of the week have definitely been spending last weekend in London, and I went up to Aberdeen in Scotland this week to visit family before I go home on Thursday ): Trying to mentally prepare myself for 36 hours of travelling!

You look so beautiful in this dress and it has a nice swing! I hope you will lighten up soon and the mental battle will clear up. I am following your journey for a while now and I know how strong and self-confident you became over the time – guess now it’s just important that you remember that, too

Hi Nicky! I love your all Saints dress and i actually just bought a quest bar yesterday, i’ve heard great things about them so i can’t wait to try it out soon!

Good luck with starting back to uni
I love those Office boots. I have an addiction to Diet Coke but I otherwise eat healthily so I think its ok to have my “one bad thing” – life is definitely all about balance. x

Your weekend does look pretty marvelous, hun (I’m especially loving your clothes – gorgeous!), but I know what you mean about pictures not always telling the whole story. Be strong, love. You know that giving in to those thoughts won’t lead you anywhere good, and won’t truly make you any happier. It’s probably the stress of going back to school that’s doing it to you, so do your best to deal with that directly instead of pushing it to the side and coping with past bad habits. Lots of hugs going your way <3 <3

Love that dress! I have said this before and I’ll say it again: dress me!! I am kinda in your boat with the diet drink addiction. I don’t have it everyday, but I know I eat way too many artificial sweeteners. Man, I want a diet coke right now, everything in moderation, right?

Love love love all the fashion as usual. That dress is incredibly flattering on you! And that raw chocolate looks amazing. I’m sorry to hear of your recent struggles but stay strong! I can tell that you’re trying to see the positives in every day and that’s progress. It will get better…I always get in a funk too when things start changing. You’ll adjust!
