    #86 Lush Cupcake Fresh Face Mask Review

    As I’ve mentioned already, I got a lot of Lush stuff for my birthday from both Little Miss & a few of my friends. This is probably because i’ve made it clear on so many occasions that Lush is one of my favourite brands. I mainly got items for the bath such as bombs, bubble bars & a few melts which is great as taking a bath is one of the only ways I can chill out these days. However, in one of my parcels was this Cupcake Fresh Face Mask (RRP £5.95). Although I’d never tried it, I’m no stranger to it as I always have a sniff when…

    Weekly Wardrobe – Polka Dots & Bow Ties

    My Weekly Wardrobe is back! I’m going to alternate every Friday between this and The Friday Five. I have finally found somewhere to take photos in good light, my garden. Ha. Thankfully next door we have a 97 year old house bound lady so there is no issue in her walking out and catching me! I still haven’t got the settings right on my camera or where to stand or what face to pull or how to pose. I’m not a model, nor do I ever wish or want to be a model. So I apologise for the silly face & funny poses. But here is what I’ve been wearing…

    #80 Twenty Five, My Silver Jubilee

    Today is my twenty fifth birthday. If I didn’t have Little Miss I would not feel twenty five in anyway, but since I have the responsibility of being a mother, I do feel that I could be that old. Even though my mum has joked all day it’s my Silver Jubilee, I haven’t done anything special.. I didn’t get parades or a ride down the river in a boat. Nope. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t had a good day, because I have, it’s been a really nice day. I mean I would of liked to have seen one or all of my friends. I would of liked to have…

    #77 The Infamous Spending Ban

    So.. due to having a dreadful 2013 so far (it honestly gets worse every week) I have basically shopped and shopped until I have started to feel better.. and then I shopped some more. However my savings are now dwindling and with a new home on the horizon, I thought it was best that I started to get some money back in the bank. Therefore from today, I will be on a spending ban for the next month! I honestly wish I could just cut down my spending but i’m either an all or nothing kinda girl. It would be nice if I could just buy one thing a week…
