Spaghetti Bolognaise • As • Gifted Last night I made a spaghetti Bolognese and instead of using marmite or worcestershire sauce for some added flavour I gave this Mushorrom Ketchup from @geo.watkins a try I think the proof is in the pudding - our fussy little lady wolfed it down, no questions asked! It was really quite tasty and I definitely didn't miss the marmite! This is also a great alternative to Worcestershire Sauce for vegetarians/vegans as it's made from mushrooms. Keep am eye out next week as I have three bottles to give away to one of my followers!

So last night I made my first visit to the spiritualist church. I say first, my Mum and Grandma actually took me to one when I was a baby, to one of the healing sessions but this is the first time I've gone that I remember. I went with my Mum, Dad and Aunty and although none of us got a message I really enjoyed the evening. It was difficult to see so many there in pain but the medium was very good and seemed to be able to comfort them, make them smile and help them on their way. I am definitely planning to go again. I found that although I didn't get a message it gave me some quiet, reflective time and time to think about what one of my loved ones might try to tell me. Often we know what will help us and make our situations better, we just need a nudge in the right direction. Have you even been to a spiritualist church or thought about going?

• FIVE FRIDAY FAVOURITES • @loccitane_uk_ire SHOWER OIL My mum treated me to a little set in March of goodies from here after she picked up a treat for herself. I hadn't got round to using this oil until Sunday night when it was leg shaving night! I grabbed this to use when I shaved and wow! It left my legs feeling so amazing I didn't even need to moisturise later. Even two days later they felt super smooth and silky. This stuff is a little more expensive but as you need only a little and it works so well, I would definitely say it's worth it. PIERCINGS Love my new piercings that I got this week. How many piercings do you have? WHAT I'D WISH I'D KNOWN PODCAST with @lobellaloves_jo @thefatfunnyone @theparentingchapter Been catching up on this podcast and LOVING it. The 'social media' and 'flaws' episodes have really stood out for me recently but I have really enjoyed them all! STUDENTING This week my student finance went through for my upcoming year of study. I am so looking forward to getting back into my studies and can't wait to get learning. Only a couple more weeks till my module materials start to arrive so I can start the reading early before the official start date at the beginning of October MARSHMALLOW MATEYS These are the cheaper version of Lucky Charms available in @homebargains and I love them! Possibly one of the best cereals out there, I've had them pretty much every day this week....a box never lasts me too long here

#throwbackthursday to bringing our little baby girl home and to her last night, asleep on my sewing stuff! Even though she's got alot bigger she still just wants to be 'on' me! At times you are a terror but you bring me so much joy Luna!

My headache has been pretty consistent all day... I think it's or do with the weather pressure, I'm going to try and look more into it. I have managed to have a really good clear out of not just my desk area but the whole living room today so feel pretty accomplished. Am shattered now though and already ready for my bed!

• BLOCKSITE • So you may (or may not) have noticed I've been quiet in the evenings on here the last few days. On Sunday I downloaded an app blocker called BlockSite. I've used it to turn off all social media and my email apps between 8pm and 6am. I've been struggling to sleep this week and really want to set some boundaries, especially as uni will be starting again soon. It might seem a little overkill....why can't you just not go online after a set time? The thing is, scrolling can be so 'normal' and is almost mind numbing and you forget you are doing it. I've been surprised to see how often I click on the app and get the 'lovely' old lady's warning that the app is closed for the night! It's just like a bad habit and I'm getting a bit of help to break it! The app is really easy to use and can also be used to block websites. I know some phones are also able to offer this but I couldn't figure it out on mine and this is so simple. Would you find something like this helpful? Do you set times to 'turn off'?
