Congratulations!!!

I am absolutely over the moon!!!



Two of my closest friends have just announced their engagement!


I am truly so frickin happy for them, even if i am a little jealous! But maybe it will prompt my man into doing the same!


I knew it was going to happen for a little while, as the groom to be sent me a picture of the ring a few weeks ago.


It is the perfect ring for her, modern, but classic too. He managed to capture her personality in there, and the diamond loooked beautiful too.


I wish them all the very best, and a wonderful future together. 


Roll on the Hen do!! (and of course the Wedding!!)

Love to them both xxxxxxxxxxx

Lush Love

I have fallen head over heals in love with Lush, well the Bath Bombs to be precise! 

Now i am not a big one for bath time, i much prefer to have a quick shower and get it over and done with, but since i discovered these little beauties, i have been tempted to bathe on average once to twice a week!! (obviously still showering in between baths!!)

The first ones i bought were from the christmas selection, and i have to say they were so good!!

The Böög

Gingerbread House

Bearded Lady

Winter Bath


So White

Li'l Lush Pud

Christmas Eve Bubble Bar 

Satsumo Santa

Candy Cane Bubble Bar 

I really enjoyed using these, and cant wait til next Christmas, so I can buy even more!! I feel another addiction coming on!!

I also bought some extra ones to give to friends at Christmas, and as far as i know, they went down pretty well!!


Take care and thanks for reading! xx

More Polishes....!!

So, you know I have a Nail Polish addiction, well... it got worse!! I found a website, that sells the China Glaze Polishes, at I think, reduced prices. So, i had to buy some obviously!!!

I managed to restrict myself to 11 of them!

I got:

Dorothy Who

Oxygen

Awaken

Pink Voltage(Neon)

Ingrid

Awakening

Platinum Silver

Platinum Pearl

Watermelon Rind

GR8

For Audrey

So far, my favorites have to be, For Audrey and probably Awakening, i really like the formulation of them, and the colours are so pretty!!

I have already picked out another 14 or so China Glaze Polishes i would like to buy in the near future, so look out for more of these hauls!!

I also, just before Christmas, bought some of the Konad imitation nail art plates, and have been playing with them quite a bit, i have such a love for nail polishes, that i would love to start doing looks and things on here. (just need a half decent camera to do so, as my iphone doesnt quite cut it!!)

Take care and thanks for reading! xx

Christmas Haul

I am not doing this to brag, at all, i just like to see what people get for christmas, and it shows different tastes etc...

From my parents i got a Dualit Compact Food Processor, i have wanted a food processor for a long time, especially living away from home, and now with working full time, it will help me to prepare suppers much more quickly, and allow us to eat more healthily as food is being made from scratch :)


They also gave me a sewing book, as from my Nonna i got a family Heirloom Singer Sewing Machine




My little sister knows i love to cook, so she gave me Jamie Oliver's new book, 30 Minute Meals, and an old classic, Delia's Complete Cookery Course. I have wanted Delia's book since i can remember, my Mum has a copy, and it has helped me in times of trouble, and taught me how to make a wonderful Béchamel sauce (the first thing i remember learning from this book!!) It really is a bible for cooking!



She also gave me a really super soft throw/blanket from Primark. I have snuggled under it every evening since, whilst watching tv/reading. And it co-ordinates nicely with our new Settees!

My Brother gave me a homemade tablecloth, which matches the Placemats my mum made me when i moved out, and some lovely flavoured oils. I hope to make some nice dressings with them in the months to come.

And from my Boyfriend I got Season 1 of Glee and a lovely pair of slipper socks, to keep my feet nice and toasty!
