A summary of this week:

1. Dragged work colleague along to the ‘Under the Rainbow’ opening 2. My angels Angela and Fugue! (photo credits: Andy Boreham)  3. Finally watched the New Girl and was surprised that I liked it despite not being super fond of Zooey (sorry guys!) 4. Went to my first burlesque show “Revolver Circus” – it was a such a wide-eyed spectacular (photo credit: Brett Stanley Photography)  5. Baked some more goods from now one of my go to food blogs, like seriously check it out – I mean there’s going to be a recipe for Gin and Tonic ice-cream if it isn’t there already. GIN AND TONIC ICE CREAM! (photo credit: Hungry and Frozen) 6. and I ended the week with a Fellini film (image credit)

other special mentions: pizza and wine on Thurs and Saturday coffee rituals.

Its been wonderful.

How are you all?

Obsessing over:  lost items, fictional characters and food. Anyone else in love with the entire West Wing? Marry me Sam Seaborn, Marry me Josh Lyman!
Working on: future posts, more specifically an interview, I’m hoping to have it finished by Easter Monday so watch this space and for those who follow me on twitter – I’ll be also be sharing that Vanilla Buttercake with the strawberry filing soon.
Anticipating: the next coming weeks – there are few changes happening at my work which means temporarily a much bigger workload. The colour of my tattoo will also be completed in the first week of May so excited.
Listening to: Mirel Wagner, Florence and the Machine, Yann Tiersen and whatever music plays at the gym. At my gym its mostly Rihanna, that girl from Waverley Place (yes I watch the Disney Channel), 90s pop,and 80 rock ballads. What is popular at your gym?
Eating:  Tomato and chickpea lamb with spinach and potatoes. So good.
Wishing:  I had a bit more money  but don’t we all?

What have you been up to recently? I’d love to know!

And when I awoke, I was alone. The bird had flown

Dear Readers,  I’ve come to the self actualisation that my lack of posting and recently lack of reading blogs or sourcing inspiration for posts is clearly a sign that I need a little break from ‘active’ blogging. So that is what I am going to do for a little wee while.  A little wee while could mean a week, a fortnight, a month or even more. I really don’t know, I just know for now I’m feeling a little meh about things.   Besides taking a break, I’m going to try out something new: Guest Blogger Features. 

To make this happen, I need you, fellow readers and bloggers. I am looking for people who wouldn’t mind doing a feature on Faute De Mieux. I’m open to most subjects just as long it isn’t offensive.  If you are interested, then comment below or email me at rochelle@fautedemieux.com.

Bought some wine and some papercups

So tonight my flatmate made a peanut butter cake  which I think was inspired by this for a baby shower.  I got to have a bit of the cut offs and omg is it super rich and probably not the greatest idea in the world to do when your tummy is already dodgy.  I’m so sure my body is telling me to lay off the sugar and the caffeine for a while so I might start doing that tomorrow, when there is no cake near me.

What goals do you have this week?
