Easter is one of those holidays that for me is pretty much entirely about food. Chocolate, roast dinners, marzipan, cake. Yep I love it.
I was super chuffed to receive several eggs this year. A Hotel Chocolat one from my parents, an epic Cadbury’s Daim one from from Kyle, two lush ones from Kyle’s mum, one from a work friend and one from Kyle’s dad. I mean WHAT. (I loved that Kyle’s mum crossed out the “pine” in pineapple as well hehe).
The Hotel Chocolat egg is an egg I absolutely adore. It’s PROPERLY thick. I got the Rocky Road to Caramel one and the two halves are different. One is
caramel chocolate and the other is milk chocolate with cookies and puffed rice. And it’s full of chocolates as well!
But even for me this was a tough ask to eat a large amount. It’s very rich.
The Daim egg from Kyle though… not that I can eat in one (albeit long) sitting. I managed to hold off until the other evening when I sat watching telly with Kyle while I worked my way through it.
Yes I felt a little sick afterwards. But I bloody loved it. Most of the time I can exercise levels of moderation and control but when it comes to Easter eggs, I really struggle (and chicken wings I guess…). I just thoroughly enjoy having a pig out on chocolate from time to time.
I was recently sent a set of clothes from Squat Wolf, who make fitness clothing. Now clearly I am a fan of fitness clothing (helloooo leggings) so I was really excited.
First up was the hoodie, called the She Wolf Crop Hoodie in mustard. I’m a big fan of the mustard colour and it did not disappoint.
The material is super soft and feels quality. It’s not a super thick hoodie but it’s thick enough to keep you warm. I love that it’s cropped as well (check me out being semi-fashionable!). It looks great with high-waisted leggings. This was probably my favourite item and I wear it all the time.
Of course I had to try a pair of leggings. I went for the Athena Leggings in deep fuchsia.
I love the colour of these and they feel so soft. I also like the little contour bits they have on the bum. But they’re not my favourite leggings. They don’t fit quite as nicely as other leggings I’ve had (though in fairness I am comparing them to the likes of Nike and Lululemon).
Perhaps there’s a bit too much material and the design of the waist bit doesn’t quite work for me in terms of the style. That said, they’re squat proof and I can move easily in them – so perfect for working out.
I also got a beautiful sports bra (the Stripes Bra). I love this design!
The back is really pretty and it’s just long enough that I feel comfortable wearing it on it’s own with high-waisted leggings. I don’t feel like I’m showing too much tummy.
It’s also a lovely thick material and has those modesty pads as well to keep everything nice and concealed. I’m obviously not the most blessed in the boobage department but I do feel well supported.
The last item is a pair of their joggers, the She Wolf Do Knot Joggers in black.
They have a slight shine to the material and are super soft. They also have two pieces of material that you tie together which is quite funky. It does make me chuckle a little that the description says they’re ideal for just chilling out (which I agree with) or for going for a jog. Nooo nooo. You would not run in these. But lazing about the house? Absolutely. They’re super comfortable.
The fit is a little odd but I think that’s because it’s fashion and the style and I clearly am not that stylish! I do like them though and will definitely be wearing them mooching about at home.
They have a good range of different colours and other styles, so if this is your thing have a look!
What Easter eggs did you enjoy?
What’s your favourite chocolate?
Do you like wearing fitness clothing around the house?

I really like the hoodie and the back of the bra is very pretty.
I didn’t get any Easter eggs this year, but I knew I wouldn’t, so ordered a large bar of my favourite chocolate, Fruit & Nut!

The colour of those leggings is gorgeous!
Between us we had a few Easter eggs- we’ve only had a Lindt bunny so far, but I do have one of those Hotel Chocolat ones, and a Montezuma’s dark chocolate buttons one. I am terrible at saving things for a special day- I found some Easter chocolate from last year in March (tidied away at the back of a cupboard) so it will take us a while to get around to eating them!
I love Fat Face lounge pants for a winter evening- they look like pyjamas but a bit thicker.
Holy chocolate eggs woman!! You sure scored!! I didn’t get any chocolate eggs, but then again I don’t really get easter stuff from anyone other than my hubby. He did buy me a chocolate easter bunny so that I could keep my tradition of eating off the bunny ears first thing in the morning – just like I did as a kid! 😉
That Hotel Chocolat egg looks amazing! I love the back detail on the sports bra – I’m always looking for ones which are long enough to not have to wear another top over for yoga classes.
That hoodie is perfect on you plus the fact that you have a lovely body too. Those pictures are nice, I love them. Thanks for sharing them
