I could almost have a degree in calorie counting, I've studied it on a daily basis for a good few years of my adult life. I find it a good way to maintain and control my daily intake! The downfall to this, is that I love going for dinner with the girls. Its always been a struggle to find somewhere to treat yourself and also keep an eye on what you're eating.
Then Pizza Express came along and dining with the girls got a whole lot easier!!
Their Leggera Pizza's are incredible, their classic pizza with just a little of the middle cut out and filled with a light salad! Devine! At 500kcal each you can enjoy every bite completely guilt free !
They even do a low calorie red and white wine and smaller dessert options. The best bit about it all is that theres absolutely no compromise on the taste!
If you do fancy going for the full three courses but fancy something different, the Pizza Express website has a great section on all the nutritional value of their whole menu!

I really think Pizza Express are leading the way in creating a menu to suit everyone.
So if you are like me and watch your daily intake but dont want to miss out on treating yourself, then Pizza Express is perfect for the Ladies who Lunch.

First Date Dilemmas.
A friend of ours is about to start dating again after a break up.
Now we all know dating is supposed to be fun, but that first date an still fill you with dread. What to wear? Where to go? What to say? Will we get on?
Here at Single Girl World we thought it would be a great idea to put some tips for dates down on our blog to help out all the single ladies fretting over a first date.
1. Have fun! Like we said earlier dates are supposed to be fun so just go and enjoy yourself. If nothing else comes from it at least you'll have had a great day out!
2. Wear something comfy.... Sexy yes, but comfy. Check out our previous blog about what to wear on dates here.
3. Stay safe. If you are meeting someone you don't know have a friend on standby!
4. By all means wear nice underwear. But there is NEVER any reason for a guy to see these on a first date!!
5. Talk, but make sure you ask questions too. No one wants to listen to a monologue!! Conversation is key!!!
Everyone knows that dating can be awkward. Just be yourself, because you never know when you'll meet Mr Right.
If any of you single ladies have any tips of your own, feel free to add them below!!

London Marathon 2012.
The London Marathon is a 26.2 mile run across the city, starting at Greenwich Park and ending on The Mall.
This year we went down to support the runners and soak up the glorious atmosphere!!
We were really lucky with the beautiful weather and managed to get a great spot at the 800m to go mark.
After watching it on the TV for years, when we were there it was overwhelming to see just how many people were taking part raising so much money for so many different charities.
The road was a sea of colour as the runners approached proudly wearing the vest of their chosen charities.
It really is an inspirational day and makes you very proud to have this event in our city.
Congratulations to everyone who took part and well done on all the money raised for wonderful charities. You have definitely inspired and motivated us to get our running shoes on.
Love

Betty Buff!
We were very lucky girls this week, we received some goodies from www.bettybuff.co.uk (@A1Betty) and we couldn't wait to try them out!
We got two sugar scrubs the first was called 'Strawberry Smash' and the second 'Scrummy Choco'! We fell in love with with them from the minute we caught a smell of them.
The Choco one literally smells good enough to eat/drink/bake with (we wouldn't of course because we know it's better on our skin!) We took it in turns to try each one and here's what we thought!
Single Girl 1's Review.
My favourite out of the two has to be the Strawberry Smash! It smells Devine ! Almost so good I wanted to spread it on my toast for breakfast! It's so zesty and fruity, the perfect wake up call in the morning !! Leaving your skin really soft and ready for your day ahead!
Single Girl 2's Review.
My favourite was the Chocolate one, it literally smelt like you should eat it!! the scrub was great all over my body, but especially on my feet!! My skin felt silky smooth and knowing that the scrub had no chemicals or preservatives made it even better!
A big thank you to Betty Buff for making our skin soft and smelling lovely, all without chemicals and preservatives!
The 'Scrummy Choco' and the 'Strawberry Smash' sugar scrubs can be brought for £8 each from the website !!
Perfect for sensitive skin, we would recommend Betty Buff to all of our friends.

Rain, rain go away... I want to wear my new dress!!
I bought this lovely new dress from New Look for a bargain £11.99. So it's just typical that its been pouring with rain all week, when all I've wanted to do is wear it!
I'm going to wear it with my favourite brown belt and my new cream Cardigan. Just as soon as the sun comes back out that is!!!

We found a new shop....
We took a trip to Brick Lane market and stumbled upon this amazing shop. Collectif London has 40’s and 50’s inspired dresses, accessories and more and is officially our new favourite place for party dresses. From the minute we walked in there we fell in love with the unique looking dresses (we are currently in the middle of figuring out our individual dress styles so we were very excited).
We fell in love with everything about the shop, the colours and prints on the dresses and skirts, the cuts of the dresses, the quality of the dresses and the sizing.... The sizing is a dream, at last a clothes shop that does real women sizes!
If you are looking for a dress for a special occasion then look no further than Collectif, we already have four of their dresses on our wish list!!!!

Who simply makes the best Chocolate Caramel Slices!
As you can imagine I didn't exactly struggle with this task !! Please eat as many Chocolate Caramel Slices as possible and let us know which one is best.....erm ok!!!
So I have to say that the Chocolate Caramel Slice that topped the rest was most definitely from Costa !! It's absolutely Devine !!!
Gorgeous crumbling shortbread, lashings of thick gooey caramel and topped off with a slab of Belgium Chocolate ! BEAUTIFUL !!!
If you watch your calories, at 426kcal each you would want it to taste like a little slice of heaven and I can assure you my friends it won't let you down!!

Exploring History.
I am a self confessed history geek, so the Imperial War Museum is my idea of heaven. Actual fact that if someone took me on a date there I would be very happy!!
Today I went with a friend to explore history.
We started at the top at the Ashcroft Gallery which is amazing as it's so interactive!
We went down to the next floor to the holocaust exhibition which is a beautiful and haunting experience.
The Imperial War museum has the coolest shop with retro gifts, perfect for your grandparents!!!
There is also a relatively new part called "War story" which is an inspiring look into the lives of our servicemen an women fighting at the moment. Alongside this there are beautiful portraits on the top floor taken by IWM photographers.
The newest exhibition "Family in war time" was closed to the public today, so we are already planning our trip back to the IWM to see this and "shaped by war" photographs.
There is so much more to see, that we haven't explored yet.
You don't have to be a history geek to enjoy this museum though, it truly is a great place to go with family and friends of all ages.

Lesson learnt.
We learned a little lesson the other day, and that lesson was:
Never go backwards in life, unless your in a pedalo, then you should always go backwards because it's easier.
We did love the pedalo though. Even if we did have to be saved like damsels in distress!

Rule Britannia.
There is no better time to wear the red, white and blue look than this year. What with the Olympics and the Queen's Jubilee, it really is a year to be proud of being British.
Here are my best finds for the perfect Britannia look.
Tesco - £28 (also available in Blue)
This jacket from Tesco's is perfect for adding that British feel to an outfit. I'm teaming mine with a blue and white polka dot dress that I got from Dorothy Perkins. You could even team it with jeans and a white vest top for a casual look.
Next - £28
How cute is this little bag?? Patriotic and a perfect way to jazz up your LBD!
Next - £35
This maxi dress is absolutely amazing, you can wear this dress anywhere, the park, the beach, the pub the possibilities are endless! Team it up with a pair of wedges, loving the denim jacket too!!
New Look - £27.99
Elvis loved his and you'll love these!! They'll brighten up every outfit. The wedge will make them easier to walk in too!!
Accessorize - £14.
B-E-A-UTIFUL! Loving this ring, it'll glam your outfit right up!
Accessorize -£6
Matched with other Union Jack items this could be a little bit tacky but with a simple dress or jean and t-shirt combo its the perfect way to British-up your outfit!
Accessorize - £12
These beauties will keep your eyes safe in the sun while looking ultra cool. Click on the link below for a video on the right style shades for your face courtesy of This Morning.
I'm loving the British look and will definitely be rocking it over the Easter weekend. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for more cool finds, let me know if you find anything too.
