Lists of Stuff and Things: My favourite things right now

1) Honey: I have been rediscovering the wonders of honey. Earlier in the week I make a beautiful cleansing and warming scrub out of brown sugar, sea salt and honey. It cleared my skin up so much and it felt so luxurious.

I have also been putting manuka honey in my darjeeling tea every morning as I have been getting a sore throat, it clears it up within minutes. I love the healing qualities of natural foods.

2) Bluebells Cakery: Pretty, soft, sweet, moorish are words I would use to describe the delicious sensation that was Bluebell's cupcakes. I was given a beautiful trayful of raspberry/chocolate and red velvet cupcakes on monday as a belated valentine from my man, which brightened my whole week (and motivated me to swim extra lengths at the pool).

3) Beauty and the Beast: It seems to me that CW always seems to have the recipe to an awesome TV show. This one is a great combination of drama, action and crime and it helps that the entire cast is stunningly beautiful. Yes, the idea isn't glaringly new but if it works who cares. Currently I am marathoning through the first season and I'm not looking forward to running out of episodes.
