WIN 1 of 3 LEGO Hero Factory & Brainify app sets

Greetings all,

 What perfect rainy afternoon fun . . . new release LEGO!!  From the scary-but-interesting Hero Factory range, meet PYROX & FURNO XL.  They are glow-in-the-dark cool with flaming weapons, armour,, visors, swords & a cape = super hero awesomeness.  My son put them all together & was having a ball using his imagination playing in the gloomy Autumn afternoon light with his new heroes.  The thing i like most . . . these bad boys are made tough, bits don't constantly fall off every rescue or combat mission, clank together or at super hero landings.  

There is also a free smart phone app which comes with the LEGO Hero Factory range, BRAINIFY from iOS Universal gaming.  Hero Factory members attack a brain you have chosen (like your sister's) & brainify them into a monster.  You can try out different brains to discover which Hero Factory villain you resemble.  The special effects are fantastic & it's a fun game when your Heroes are taking a break.  

Combine PYROX & FURNO XL together for a massive Hero Factory figure.     

WIN 1 of 3 LEGO Hero Factory prize packs valued at $49.98.

Each prize pack consists of PYROX & FURNO XL + BRAINIFY app!!

FURNO XL RRP $29.99

things i'm loving . . . 'yoga'

Greetings all,

Oh Yoga, why did i ever stop worshipping you??  Ok, i was extremely dedicated to Yoga in my early 20s & only stopped when lowering-my-head-during-pregnancy did not bode well with my 24/7 morning sickness x 9 months.  Between pregnancies though, Yoga was my best friend (remember i don't drink alcohol, tea or coffee - i had have a treat while the babies slept).  Of course having lots of little babies, zero babysitters & unaffordable gym creche, i did Yoga at home with DVDs, it was great, often in my knickers & bra, on my way from the laundry to the shower - such is the life of the stay at home breastfeeding mother.  I could do anything, i'm flexible & headstands kept me level headed, chasing 4 children under 4.5 years, in fairness the baby was easy to pin down, the girls, they were runners!!

Yoga totally rebuilt my body after twins, still in my mid 20s & i lost all the weight & blubber, rocking size 9 Lee Riders . . . but my hips were held together with a brace!!  Then i had another baby, dropped the Yoga & um, well, didn't pick it up again.  I hit 30 & pretending i couldn't remember what was top of my personal To Do List each day . . . i let it slide, along with my core body strength, tone & my clothes were shrinking.  Slacko!!
More recently, i've been suffering from stress & exhaustion, i've left Shop Handmade & shut down my on line shop, pretty much my entire business - for a break to focus on my mind, body & soul.  It's amazing how pushing the responsibility of raising 4 children with a long distance husband, managing the addition of high school to the mix, worrying about elderly parents & that handsome soldier who keeps heading to war zones . . . along with my ailments of carpal tunnel, irritable bowel syndrome (sorry to talk bottoms), bad insomnia & a surprise middle ear infection . . . guess what, i'm wrecked & my balance = terrible!! 
So to slowly rebuild myself back up to the high energy, capable & positive bundle of creativity i normally am/ have to be . . . i've been going to the gym to focus on Yoga/ Body Balance/ Pilates daily & . . . 2 weeks in, i am feeling better.  Tension in my neck is the cause of my migraines these days (mid 30s) & tonight at my Body Balance class . . . i could feel all the tension leaving me + i haven't had a headache in 2 weeks!!  So rather than beat myself up for letting myself go, i'm just proud i've resumed my dedication & will continue, it's a true gift to yourself, especially as a mother & on a Friday night. 
For more Things I'm Loving this Friday, check out Paisley Jade.  If there was something you used to do/ love/ keep meaning to make time for, DO IT, NOW!!  Have gorgeous weekends everyone, no more excuses!!  Love Posie
