Treacle moon...

I'm a huge fan of Philosophy...the packaging, scents and the fact that the products actually work..however at nearly £20 a pop for a shower gel..its a bit steep!! Now i don't know how long treacle moon products have been at tescos but i only stumbled across them last month...all i can say is how naughty...they are almost identical to philosophy!!

Now naughty is always nice.....the price.....v cheap! The product range only has a few scents but wow they smell lush! If your a fan of coconut you'll love that one..super sweet! So i picked up the raspberry kiss shower gel and lemonade days scrub....I have used both and they smell great and leave a scent on your skin! All i can say is I'm converted..although i will miss my favourites..melon daiquiri and frozen lemon custard i just cannot justify spending sooooooo much when these little gems are soooo cheap!!

Have any of you guys tried treacle moon products?

My passion...and a favour from my American pals :)

This post is inspired by a post i read on Saskia's blog...it was a post that included a picture of my passion....cup cakes! Yes i am a true desperate housewife (although not married lol) i loooove baking! I just love how happy cupcakes and birthday cakes make people feel..i challenge anyone not to smile when you receive a cake made especially for you! :)I have touched on this passion before in a previous post but Saskia's post reminded me to update some of the cakes I've made and help any of you guys if you fancy giving it a whirl! So I've included some piccys and some books which i think actually help and more importantly..they're achievable designs etc!

If you guys like this kind of pot or want any help then let me know as i will do some more posts on cakes i make..when i get the magical gift of time to bake lol :)

Also another quick passion of mine..hot choc..not just any hot choc though..land lakes raspberry hot chocolate! It is my favourite drink evvvvver..has anyone tried this? OK now for the bad news...it..like many other great things is only available in the US...now i need a favour can any kind blogger from the US support my habit and maybe send me some...obviously i will pay for the goods or if you'd prefer i can send some English delights...things are getting desperate people I'm on my last cup...see evidence below!!

Yes this post is high in sugar..now go brush your teeth before bed girls!

A few little faves :)

Hi everyone! So i have a new fave lip combo...unfortunately its a NYX one..and i cant get my mitts on it easily..once a year on hold i guess...but anywho i picked up these colours in Vegas and i love them together:

Orange soda lippy

And

Vintage sheer gloss

The beauty of the gloss is that its actually pigmented...most "nude" glosses come out waaaay too sheer for my liking..this is fab on its own as a nude lip but i love the hint of coral the orange soda adds!!

Also I'm loving Jessica's blushing princess nail polish..cute name huh?! We have had this colour in our salon for yonks but I've never played with it...but now this may become a must have of mine :)

And last but by no means least..i got a very cute warehouse dress from ASOS! The novelty of this colour will fade with my tan lol..as I'm usually a black dress girl xx

Pink love :)

Lets set the scene....so I'm very bored on a Monday night and I'm searching the net for randomness...and then....i come across something that brings out both the grown up and inner child in me! I live at home with the parents and brother and i really should move out one day...hmmm but with what Ive found on the net i don't think I'm quite "mature" enough to go just yet...yes my friends i really would like to live in a house like this:

Am i completely insane or does anyone else find the idea of this adorable..i mean how could you ever be miserable living here? I thought Minnie mouses house in Disney was good but this takes the hello kitty shaped biscuit!!!

After finding this i decided to search more pink houses etc..yep i know very bored right?! And wow i loooove betsy johnsons pad..i love her fashion line and now her house! Maybe this is a more realistic and mature dream to have!!

Very random i know but i wanted to share some pink love tonight :)

Confessions of a shoe-a-holic

Help..I'm quickly turning into a shoe devil...ok so i suppose I've always been one..but this is now getting serious...I've moved into the world of..dum.dum.dum!!! DESIGNER SHOES!!!!!!

Ok let me start by saying shoes are my 'thing'...my one love item..the same as people love designer bags etc...for me shoes win it..they always fit you no matter what your weight and i truly believe the wrong shoes can make or break an outfit....for years i have lusted after GINA shoes...the glitz, the daintiness..i just wanted them..although my sensible mind has always said £300 plus is just silly for a pair of shoes that i doubt id dare wear in case i ruined them or lost a swarkovski lol!!

So why oh why am i now buying designer shoes...I'll tell you why...sales! They have convinced me im getting a deal and now im stuck with two gorgeous but ridiculously priced shosies...why do we do it lol..so here goes I'm sharing my guilt!

This first pair i got in the states..they're miu miu...i was enticed by the big red half price sign..i never knew i was heading straight into the designer section or nordstrom..yikes...the damage was done after trying them on..an looking at the price second..i just had to have them..also my best friend sat there nodding saying "you have to they're a bargain"...what would you do lol?? Anyway they seriously are the most comfy shoes I've ever worn..despite being scarily high!

Were: $775

Sale: $300 ish i think lol..bargain??? what do you think?

Ok onto the next article...Dior..ive wanted these for soooooooooo long..however being so pricey i was living in a dream world..until...yep you guessed it SALE..now these i do think are a bargain..i never in all my years imagined id own a pair of Dior shoes...as sad as it seems i think i would save these babies in a fire...i love them so much and to me they are a bargain...although they didn't have a size seven so I'm going have to do some serious stretching to fit into these tiny 6's...any tips?

Were: £445

Sale:£149

I really feel this is it now..no more designer shoes...it may seem over the top but the funny thing is i dress top to toe in primark,peacocks etc so i think these little gems will dress up any £4 dress lol!

Please comfort me..do you guys have a splurge on one particular item??

Skin care and i love viva la juicy!

So when i was doing vids on YouTube i got lots of requests to see my skincare routine..well since im struggling keeping up with YouTube and a blog im going to post it here:

Day to day:

*One step water comfort cleaners by clarins..pop on a cotton pad..wipe..viola! A lazy girls best friend..i love this stuff..cleansing without water so there is no excuse :p

*Simple eye makeup remover

*Hydra quench lotion by clarins..i use this in the summer...much lighter than creams!

*Hydra quench cream gel...i use this in the winter..thicker and more conditioning

*Doux me aromatherapy cream..this is my night time cream i love the scent its a signal for sleep for me...my friend works for this company so i get salon size :)

Treats (not as often as i should):

*One step gentle exfo by clarins..smells of orange...try and use it in the shower as it foams twice a week

*Clarins blue orchid oil..for my dehydrated skin i put this under a mask to boost my skins hydration..great the day after a night on the tiles :)

*Clarins Hydra care mask...you don't have to wash this baby off just soaks straight in lol...but i remove it i don't like to feel anything on my skin!

So yeah that's it...i stick to what i know as i work with Clarins product and i select what i think is the cream of the crop..any skin care q's ask away..put my training to good use xx

Also i have to add....i love the perfume viva la juicy...the bottle, the scent..yep!
