Holidays are coming!.....

I heard the Coca Cola trucks were in town so thought I'd take the kids and check them out!

It wasn't raining when we left but of course by the time we arrived in town it was pouring *rolls eyes*
We got the opportunity to have our picture taken with the truck and were given a card to allow us to view it online.
I was a little disappointed that these are not as glamorous as the trucks in the advert - which are covered in sparkly lights, but delighted to see Santa's personalised number plate:

Wispa Gold.....It's back!

Ooh I've missed this one! 

Wispa Gold is back for good - as part of Keep Team GB Pumped

When I saw them sitting in the local shop I just had to have one - I kept it til the kids were in bed, made a cup of coffee and made a special 'me time' moment of it! and boy...was it worth it! Melty milk chocolate with the bubbles that burst on your tongue combined with the fabulous caramel, chewy and not too sweet made for a delightful evening pick me up :)

L'Oreal EverPure

I was recently selected to take part in L'Oreal's hair care trial for this new shampoo & conditioner. 

EverPure - "Specifically designed for coloured and dry hair, the EverPure range combines a Colour Care System with no sulphates and gentle moisturising care. The formulae leave hair feeling nourished."

 "Especially designed for the most delicate hair. The luxurious experience, with botanical oils. Respects the hair"





I have been colouring my hair for many years now, and find that it is quite dry and becomes dull quickly after my trip to the salon so I was very excited to try these products.


Having used 'SLS' free products in the past I found them to leave my hair dry and not to lather well so I was surprised and delighted when I used this product, it lathered with a fabulous foam and gorgeous scent - smelled like mint, but is apparently rosemary & juniper.  I felt my hair was moisturised as well as clean.


I have only used the product several times but already my hair feels softer, more manageable and looks shinier. Hopefully my colour will last longer now :)


Because I'm worth it! x

Party Nails!

As I had a girlie night out on Friday I decided to try out the new Gosh Nail Glitter I won from a fellow blogger - http://dragonsandfairydust.co.uk

The glitters come in a variety of colours, I chose the purple one to try out first.

I prepared the are before starting - fearing an avalanche of sparkly glitter I placed a sheet of paper under the pot to catch any mess.

Then coated one nail at a time with a nude base coat, then dipping each one in turn into the pot of glitter - my nails were a little too long for this to work completely successfully, but with a bit of wiggling we were good :)
I brushed off any excess with a cotton bud and there we had it - Gorgeous glittery nails!

They lasted the night perfectly, but by the next day my thumbs had lost a good lot of sparkle (probably in my trouser pockets every time I put my hand in!) and to be honest the rough feeling was irritating me.
So I decided to remove the glitter - It proved a bit trickier than usual, I used twice the amount of varnish remover as the glitter stopped the solution dissolving the base coat, but I got there in the end!

All said, I would use the glitters again on my next night out as they make a fabulous statement and everyone was jealous of my sparkles!

You can get your own Gosh Nail Glitter exclusively at Superdrug for just £3.99!

Pink day!

So this week I have been baking cupcakes to sell in work to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research.

We have had chocolate rocky road, vanilla, raspberry and white chocolate and spiced pumpkin muffins, all freshly baked the night before and carefully iced before being packed up and taken into work.

The final total raised over the 4 days was £85 - Thanks ladies, the diet starts next week!

Baby One More Time

Til The World Ends (I think she has a broken wing!)

To be honest I didn't really get the whole 'Femme Fatale' storyline thing through the show until I read what it was all about later (oops). The performance was enjoyable there were certainly plenty of costume changes and a whole lot of stage props to keep your attention.
I did feel there was a degree of lip syncing and the dance routines were a bit blah - a lot of skipping up and down the stage whilst smiling inanely! But it was good to see Britney on a come back after the horrible time she has had in the past. Hopefully this will be a fresh chapter for her.
