Purple Kindle Covers and Kindle skins

I love my Kindle but hate the grey colour ( or gray color if you're from the USA).
I've not only got one, I've got two, lovely purple Kindle covers, one a leather one, one lightweight.

The best Lake District books for your Kindle

Lots of people received a Kindle for Christmas. I've has my Kindle since last summer, and I just love it. One of the best uses for your Kindle is that it cuts down your baggage when travelling. Obviously you can download fiction to read whilst on holiday, but remember that you can also download guide books and other books related to your holiday destination. I've picked my favourite Lake District books for your Kindle. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

Everyone's gone New Year Diet crazy

Every magazine or newspaper you open right now is full of tips to get slim and fit in 2012.
I'm suggesting you try The Dukan Diet. I lost 14 ponds before Christmas on the Dukan Diet, and I's suggest you read Starting the Dukan Diet for my top tips.

The first few days of the Dukan Diet are called The Dukan Diet Attack Phase and I've written a whole lens to help you through the Dukan Diet Attack Phase. which I think you'll find really helpful.

You do really need to buy the book. UK readers can buy The Dukan Diet from amazon.co.uk here.

Lens Of The Day!

On Boxing Day, 26 December 2011, my lens Enjoy the Boxing Day Holiday was made Lens Of The Day!
My first ever LOTD- Boxing Day, on Boxing Day. What a great Boxing Day that was!

Thanks to all who visited , left messages, left blessings, and "liked" the lens.
Brilliant!

Here's the music that I was listening to all Boxing Day this year

Now we are six again, from Steeleye Span. One of my all time favourite folk bands, back in great form.

Sherry trifle hits the roof!

Now my Sherry Trifle Recipe has reached 373 in lensrank I'm feeling pretty excited! Nearly 3,000 visits this week!
I've still only sold one pack of custard from it, ever, but at least I know lots of people are reading it.
I've got all the ingredients for mine, which I'll make on Friday to serve on Boxing Day.

My Chocolate truffle recipe is also going well. Lots of cooks out there!

Hope you all enjoy the recipes.

Time to start making those homemade goodies

If you're thinking of giving home made sweets or homemade candies for Christmas, you can make my delicious
homemade chocolate truffles now, and freeze them .
If you take a look at my guide on How to make home made chocolate truffles you'll see lots of variations on the basic recipe, so that you can personalise your homemade Christmas gift. For example, if you're making chocolate truffles for a man who loves brandy, use some brandy in the recipe- simple!
If  you're making my homemade chocolate truffles for someone who loves nuts, rolls the truffles in crushed pistachios.There are lots more ideas suggested.

I've also suggested ways of packaging your truffles to make the gift look really professional. Good presentation is important.

Now that clocks have gone back, and the days are shorter, spending time messing around in the kitchen is a pleasant way to pass a few house. Just make sure you don't eat all the truffles yourself right now! Obviously you'll need to try a few, to "test" them , but try to save some to freeze for Christmas gifts.

Starting a new line of lenses- The Dukan Diet

I've looked around at the Dukan Diet lenses on Squidoo, and frankly m'dear, I didn't find them very interesting.
I've put myself on the Dukan Diet, and am just a wee bit obsessed with it right now, so I thought, let's make a lens about Starting the Dukan Diet - so I have!

I hope it will be useful to anyone thinking about starting the Dukan Diet. I'll be writing more in the next few weeks, and they will be the first new lenses I've made in ages. The spirit moves me!
