The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick Review
Meet Pat. Pat has a theory: his life is a movie produced by God. And his God-given mission is to become physically fit and emotionally literate, whereupon God will ensure a happy ending for him — the return of his estranged wife Nikki. (It might not come as a surprise to learn that Pat has spent time in a mental health facility.) The problem is, Pat’s now home, and everything feels off. No one will talk to him about Nikki; his beloved Philadelphia Eagles keep losing; he’s being pursued by the deeply odd Tiffany; his new therapist seems to recommend adultery as a form of theraphy. Plus, he’s being hunted…

Nottingham Bloggers Meet – The Day, Meal & The Infamous Goody Bags
This is the first of three posts about the Nottingham Blogger Meet that I attended on Saturday 13th April. I’m going to do a second one for my shopping haul (weeks of saving paid off!) and one for the Kiehls visit. It was a fantastic experience, my first ever blogger meet (although since blogging I have met quite a few bloggers through events and through chatting on twitter) so much fun! I feel incredibly lucky that I heard about it and managed to go along because I was in the area. My shoulders and feet still hurt from all the shopping, not to mention how tired I am despite the…

Benefit Fine One One Review
As I’m away for a few days I thought i’d schedule some posts. This first one is a beauty review for Benefit’s Fine One One. I bought this as a birthday treat a few weeks back after trying it the Fake Up event. I’ve always been rubbish at contouring so when I found a product that would basically do it for me I just had to have it! I know it’s had some mixed reviews but I love it, and here is why! Let me first say I’m not normally a fan of cream blushes. I struggle to blend them and I just look silly.. that was until I picked…

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Blush in Coral Review
Until I started my blog I used to only have one of everything apart from lip colour & eye shadow… and even then I only had a few of each for example in lip colour I had one I wore during the day & another for going out. Blogging has opened up a whole new world of using making up in different ways to me so I’ve began to embellish on the contents of my make up bag. My new favourite item to buy is blush and cheek colour.. I now I four different kinds/colours including Benefit Fine One One (which I will be reviewing soon), a Dainty Doll bargain…

#91 Miss Geekay Jewellery Review
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely Gillian of Miss Geekay Jewellery. We exchanged a few emails back and forth as she introduced her new online shop. After checking it out for myself, I instantly fell in love with some of her pieces, which she tells me are inspired by the high street & magazines. The best part of all? Everything is less than £5! I was lucky enough to be sent a couple of my favourite pieces. The items arrived beautifully wrapped with a cute personalised tag. I’m a real sucker when companies make things personal! Anyway, I’d mentioned to Gillian how much I adored…
