6th July

I won this my entering a competition on a youtube video (I knew watching them would eventually pay off!) and I actually was picked. I never win anything :D it's a pretty eyeshadow palette. The colours a nice, a few I wouldn't wear but I like the pinks, and the greens. Unfortunately the light gold was damaged in the post and I would have used that more but never mind.

Also I think this is post number 1000 for me. Crazy!

5th July

I did say I would take some photos of the donna hay book that i'm still in love with. It's just so pretty! There is another book, modern classics 1, which I desperately want but it's either too expensive or in Australia, so I'll keep searching. The smaller books - chicken & salads and veg book look great too so I am hunting for them all.

4th July

My adorable kitkat, who isn't best pleased now her tv is gone. No room for her to sleep on top of a flatscreen so she's taken to either sleeping in her tissues or in my chair.

3rd July

A welcomed break after the hot weather we've been having. It was up to 34c last week, which was a bit too hot when out in the sun..

2nd July

The first courgette from the garden and it was lovely. Tasted just like a courgette, funnily enough, but yay!

1st July

It's a lip balm. I says no more about it..

30th June


They don't look incredibly long here, because they are painted, but to my amazement the nail envy is working so well. My nails are definitely stronger, and I can't bite them (maybe it's that what is making them healthy too because I'm normally a bit of a nail biter) It is a wee bit expensive at about £9 a bottle, but i#m sure I could find it for cheaper if I looked more online.

29th June

I'm getting really bored of making scones now.. I've tried to change them up though and have done chocolate ones recently (which are lovely!) coffee and walnut, coffee and chocolate but you can't beat the smell of cinammon, mixed spice & dried fruit and cheese & chive scones baking in the oven.

28th June

More tatas from the garden. So far we have about 16lbs worth of them, so many infact that we've had to give some away as we had too many. We also have courgettes that are nearly ready, so i can't wait for them!

27th June

New furniture to go better with the new tv. Looks uch nicer than the antiques we had before :D

26th June

Nail biting stuff. Although unfortunately the wrong Andy won, so that was a bit crap really.. but there's always next year!

25th June

My neighbours super cute kitten! I like this photo as it's very what he's like - timid, yet nosy :)

24th June


Pretty pink nail colour. Very bright.

23rd June

I've never heard of this stuff or knew it existed until I saw it on a youtube video. It's dry shampoo and when your hair goes a bit greasy, then you spray it on and tada, it makes your hair look like it's been washed again! I needed this yearsssss ago!

It smells lovely too.

Oh and that's my hand with bright blue nail varnish on.

22nd June

The best thing about the new tv?

Getting it in time for wimbledon, which started today! I love wimbledon more than any other sporting event (even darts at lakeside)

and nadal wasn't there so it was even better this year!

21st June

What I bought my dad for dad's day :)

20th June


The new tv in action, it's amazing! So big compared to our old tv (which has gone to our favourite neighbour) Also showing my love for masterchef.

And it was fathers day, so the other photo is the card I bought him :)

19th June

Mmm shiny shiny lovely tv. From costco. It was cheap already and then there was £50 off using their vouchers so we had to purchase it. It literally just fit in the car. If the box had been half a cm bigger we wouldn't have got it home!

18th June


My new hairdryer. My old one smelled burny when you used it, and was incredibly loud. This one has different speeds, heats and a cool button and you can use a low heat on a faster speed or a higher heat on a lower speed. It's cool :)

17th June

My cousin is researching our family tree, he's doing pretty amazing so far and finding family we never knew existed. Anyway, this is photo of a relative from years back. I find it hilarious because she looks super drunk!

16th June

Sudocream, which is normally good for babies, is apparently great for spots and stuff so I bought some of that too try (I have too many creams now that I don't know what ones to use and when)

Primark lipbalm (yep another!) but it's nice, so that's my excuse.

15th June

Big pants. You can never have too many pants I feel.

14th June

Courgettes growing like crazy in the garden! They are huge!

13th June

All from the garden :) I'm so pleased that we've got so many potatoes from our first time of growing them ever. Pretty impressive and they actually taste just like potatoes (duh) and probably even better!

12th June

Pretty new bracelets. All for £1.49 from oxfam. Similar ones from accessorize cost £6 and they are all one colour usually so I did good!

12th June

The new tv is picked but we're looking for a stand. This might be a potential?

10th June

My new top, which I love love love so much. It's from new look, and cost just £8 and I used a voucher so it actually cost £4, I think. I just love it. I wish they had it in different designs or something but I'm not sure they do, so boo to that.

Did I mention I love it?

9th June

I've always wanted to try this. It's apparently one of the best nail strengthening products. A little bit pricey which is why I put off buying it but I finally decided to give it a go, so fingers crossed it works.

My nails are really brittle, so they need some help.

8th June

I haven't missed a day, but all the photos I have are wedding photos but I don't want to post them. I took a lot (ALOT) and spent 2 days editting them alot (ALOT)

7th June

From the wedding, it's bubbles. So very cute!

5th June

Something else from elf

(alot of my posts for the next few weeks will be things i've bought)

but these brushes are so lovely for the price they are. They are so soft, do the job and cost £1.50 each. You can't beat that! I want to get a few more of them.

4th June

Because of course, I need more lip glosses. Hmm. Anyway, these are very cute. They are lip glosses in slidey tins. One smells of coconut (the bottom one) which is lovely as coconut is my alltime favourite smell. The other one doesn't smell so nice but leaves a nice colour on the lips.

They were £1.50 each from the wonderful, Eyes lips and face.

3rd June


Probably another cream that won't have any effect *sigh*

2nd June

New top. A bit different from what I would normally go for I guess (I'm getting older) but it's lovely and thin and perfect for the summer.
