Glossybox May 2014 - Superdrug

What a lovely sunny day we had today.  The Fuzzband went off on a golfing trip leaving me to enjoy a whole day to myself!  

Seeing as I was up and about at  6:30 am, I went to the park for an early morning walk around the racecourse to earn some {Weight Watchers} activity points.  I plan on using them later on a couple of glasses of vino :)

 

 

 I enjoyed my Weight Watchers friendly breakfast in the garden 

2 chocolate Weetabix ~ 4pp

strawberries ~ 0pp

Yeo Valley 0% fat natural yogurt ~ 1pp

sweet freedom - 0pp

{milk already tracked}

 

The postie knocked at my front door with my May Glossybox

 

It is exciting opening the box to see what they send each month.  This month it is a themed box, celebrating 50 years of Superdrug.  The box itself is very pretty.  I use the empty boxes to store all sorts of bits and bobs.

 

Here's what I got in my May box........

Superdrug 'B' conditioning lipstick  {worth £6.99}

Collection Bronze Glow {worth £2.99}

Scholl Velvet Smooth Overnight mask for feet {worth £7.99}

Schwarzkopt essence ULTIME Crystal Shine Shampoo {worth £4.99}

Max Factor Facefinity All Day Primer {worth £10.99}

Sample of GHOST Eau De Toilette Eclipse

Sample of Garnier Oil Beauty Lotion

I have been subscribing to Glossybox for 18 months and this box is the best one so far. I will use everything in this box so for the £10 i paid...bargain!

 

Time for a nice soak in the bath, pamper & pedicure.

 

 

What I ate - Weight Watchers food diary #1

200g Jersey  Royal New Potatoes {My favourites} ~ 4pp

broccoli ~ 0pp

80g garden peas ~ 1pp

 

and for dessert......

 a slice of my homemade banana cake ~ 3pp

 

Bank Holiday Baking

I am trying for more of a lifestyle change than a 'diet' so while I am following the Weight Watcher program I am trying to eat the foods I normally eat but making them healthier and controlling the portion size.  

One thing I can't live without is cake {my favourite thing of all time!} and I love to bake.  So today I made a chocolate fudge cake and along side this, a banana and chocolate loaf from a Weight Watcher Recipe.

 

I didnt have a two pound loaf tin {I must remember to get one} so I made two smaller cakes.  These will be portioned into eight slices and work out at only 3 pro points each.  Actually, they are probably less because I replaced the brown sugar  in the recipe for Splenda brown sugar, which worked well.  I've had this in my baking cupboard a while and cannot for the life of me remember where I bought it.  I hope I can find more.  

 

The Chocolate Fudge Cake was a Mary Berry Recipe

 

I worked out the points for the chocolate fudge and 1/16 slice is 7 pro points. The slices were big enough because the cake is rich.  

 

I had the family round today for a Bank Holiday Monday roast dinner and these cakes were eaten for pudding.  The Weight Watchers banana cake was the most popular and I know I preferred it.  This will become a favourite bake I'm certain. I made sure that I sent leftover cake home with everyone and as both cakes freeze well, the few slices left were portioned, wrapped in parchment paper and frozen.
