mental health day...

Today I had an annual leave day from work - a mental health day, if you will. Sometimes you just need a break, right? I do feel incredibly refreshed and relaxed now.

And I had the best day! I spent the entire morning with my Mum (whom I adore spending time with, she is fantastic company). We went out to breakfast at Lee&Me...



Mum had eggs benedict



I wasn't that hungry, so I had sourdough toast with homemade boysenberry jam and vanilla sweetened ricotta, really really yum



Then we went and wandered around the produce markets for a while, and kind of shopped up a storm!



My goodies - so excited to find irises, I love them so much!



I made some muffins - banana and blueberry


LOTS of muffins!




I took about half my closet to the drycleaners on Monday, so today I went and picked it all up - celebrate good times, my clothes are back and gorgeously clean! And miraculously it only cost me $140!


On that note, I decided I had better duck into the shops and pick up some extra coat-hangers...



My shoes arrived today from LouLou shoes and they are beyond stunning! I die! They all fit like a dream - Mum was in love with them too



I spent about half an hour tidying my wardrobe - I find this incredibly soothing



Relaxed with some muffins and the latest Vogue...



Decided to make a vegetable and lentil soup for dinner, and got that started. Now I'm just waiting for V to get home so I can feed him muffins and model my new shoes for him.

Happy Friday all!
xoxo

  6. What a lovely day! Much deserved I'm sure. You sound like such a busy bee. I love seeing your lee & me trips - the vanilla sweetened ricotta looks delicious. The muffins look great also. Blueberries in muffins are the best. I love days like that. And now it is the weekend! More fun ahead...
