To Do!

Do you find yourself making to do lists?  I'm constantly making lists, something that my friends tease me about!!  Today is my last day off before I head to London on Monday, so I'm trying to get as many things done as possible.  Here's my list so far:



It's 12:40 on the 19th, and so far, Ive only managed one job! Yikes!!! I have the house to myself today, so I'm off to try and get as many jobs done as possible!

Once I have stopped racing around doing jobs, I plan to sit down and write a beauty related blog, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

I hope, if you're in the UK you're enjoying this amazing weather, I just hung the washing on the line, and couldn't believe how warm it is! Lovely!!! Enjoy the sunshine!

Haul!

As I'm no longer making videos, I thought this would be the place to share my hauls! Yesterday I went shopping in Guildford, I lifted my spending ban, just so I could stock up on new products.  The spending ban is now back on until London (9 days people!)  So I went to Lush, MAC and Boots, and here's what I got!



Now this picture, isn't the best for showing you what I got, so let me tell you!!

First of all the MAC stuff, one thing isn't in the picture because I totally forgot to put it in there, is Mylar eyeshadow, this is going to be my highlight shadow, as the one I use in my 88 Palette is nearly out! I also picked up a fix + and because I took 6 items 'Back2MAC' I got a free lipstick, and I chose Creme De Nude, I got Hue last time, which I love, and I wanted to try another nude colour, so ta-dah!

Next up was Boots, really dull I know, as it was just to pick up some staples, my Revlon Perfect Match foundation, and a Bourjois Brown eye stylo, boring I know, but I love both these products!

Then last but not least Lush, I had 10 black pots to return so I got a Hair Doctor (for my sister) and a Brazened Honey facemask for us to share (can never use one before they expire!) I bought a Honey Bee bathbomb, and a Blackberry one too (for some reason I have never bought either of these before!) I also picked up 2 bath melts, the Dreamtime one and Ceridwyn's Cauldron, I have used both of these before, and LOVE them!  Whilst I was there I thought I would pick up some of their new Tooth Tabs (released this week) they are basically a solid toothpaste (weird I know!) My sister and I tried these last night, and I kinda wish I hadn't, they don't taste that great, and they don't leave my mouth feeling particularly clean! So I think so use them up I might start off with one, and then put a splodge on my toothbrush and brush like crazy!

It's here, it's here, it's finally here!

That's right, my weekend has officially started! No more work for 3 days, it could be more, I don't have next weeks rota yet!  So how did I kick my weekend off?

Well, I started by coating my hair in lots of Marylin hair mask from Lush (love that stuff!), I then made my Dad's birthday cake, with a helping hand from my sous chef (Mum!) Dad's birthday is tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it, not only because we get to make a fuss of him, but also because we are off to Guildford to spend the day with his parents (my grandparents).  I made him an Orange and White chocolate sponge, I will try to take a picture of it tomorrow, if I remember!

Once the cake was made, and Dad and I had cooked dinner for us all, I treated myself to a lovely long hot bath! My feet don't ache anymore, my hair is VERY moisturised (thanks Lush) and I feel super relaxed (thanks again Lush!)

Still to do before bed tonight, paint my finger and toe nails, dry my hair, wrap Dad's presents, write his card, and download some new music for my ipod!!  Having been up since 5am, I'm hoping to get this all done ASAP!

Is it the weekend yet?!

Only 2 days of work left until I get a 3 day break! BRING IT!

I'm currently dosed up on lemsip, and craving a heck of a lot of sleep! apparently the kitchen at work is a hot bed for illness, I'm not the only one who has caught whatever it is I have!

On the plus side, my two new EOS lip balm spheres arrived today, for anyone who hasn't tried these, why haven't you?!?! They are literally the best lip balms I've ever tried!

You used to be able to buy them in Urban Outfitters, here in the UK, and rumor has it you can nab them in Space NK, even though I have never seen them in there!  I buy mine from a retailer on Amazon, they sell for £4.75 with £2.75 p+p.  There is 5 flavours and I'm I just starting the sweet mint, my 4th one!

I urge you if you haven't already to try these, they leave your lips so smooth, and because of their unusual shape, people always ask "what the heck is that!?" so its a great conversation starter!  The balm lasts a long time on your lips. Yummy!
