Rome...

Ive been extremely lazy in getting this post done- mainly due to its photo heavy nature.  I highly recommend putting Rome on your bucket list- its a very expensive but beautiful place.  I visited with my housemate and brother :) Hope you enjoy the snaps...

Blueberry and Lemon cupcakes...

Im obsessed with blueberries. I find an excuse to sneak them in to most things and when that "thing" is cake, i can almost fool myself into thinking they are reasonably healthy :/


I gave this recipe a whirl and apart from the frustration of converting cups to grams/mls it actually turned out pretty well. In fact the batch of 12 didnt make it past the end of the day.

Mac Flamingo and Sweet and Sour...

Why Mac, why?

Im sure you can all sympathise with my sorrow when all of the nicest colours Mac release are Limited edition. I wish there were an opportunity to stock up but as we all know they sell out within a blink of an eye :(

Anyway, here they are in all their pretty, limited edition glory...

Sweet and Sour:

Flamingo:

Did you manage to nab either of these?

The Bomb...

I love independent shops on the high street and i love them more even more so when they sell little gems like these...

After ploughing through nearly all of what Lush have to offer, i had meant to order some goodies from the Bomb cosmetics for quite some time but never quite got round to it.  I popped into a little gift shop in my town and now found that they sell quite a large array of products.

I love the little Easter bombs but the pink glittery one smells the best on my opinion :)

Like Lush products the scent lingers and my skin felt silky smooth after- smiles all round.  Ive noticed on their site that there are some new whoopie blasters which im not dying to try.

Have you tried any of the bomb products?

Three things...

Three little things that made me smile this week...

Glitter nails- Something about glitter just makes me smile.  Jessica samba parade and Martha Stewart rose quartz glitter.

Handmade gifts- I promised myself that all my friends presents this year would be handmade/ personal as i really enjoy stamping/craft etc. It annoys me that i dont have more time on my hands sometimes!  I made my best friend this cute little hamper and a batch of my strawberry cupcakes from my previous post.

Pretty gems- some new jewels from Accessorize.  I like how alex munroesque the bumble bee necklace is.

I hope you all had a lovely week- enjoy the weekend.

Sweet pea...

Everyone has that one base fragrance that they love right?

Mine is sweet pea.

I think my love for this scent started in 2007 when I discovered bath and body works for the first time. Since then whenever I visit the states I bring a separate bag back filled with their goodies!

I have found a few sweet pea secnted products here in the uk-but none quite as nice as bath and body works. We need a bath and body works in the uk- feeling quite passionate about this lol!

Does anyone else share my love for bath and body works? What's your favourite scent?

Most read...

I dont know about you, but i dont remember the last time i purchased a magazine.

I think the reason for this is that reading a good blog is far more interesting and the fashion/beauty reviews are actually much better than the mags can offer.

So here are a few of my faves that brighten up my week- please never stop blogging- you are saving me a fortune on mags ;) p.s i hope you dont mind me snatching your photos :)

Amy Antoinette- 

Ive been lucky enough to meet Amy and she is as lovely in person as she comes across on her blog.  I lover her shabby chic style and almost everything she purchases i want!

Beauty fulfilled-

Kaushal is lovely and has just started making youtube vids too :)  She always writes really in depth, honest reviews.

Emily Charlotte-

I love this girls honesty- rare in the blogging world sometimes.  I love seeing what she gets up to on a weekly basis and her recipes always make me want to lick the screen!!!

Lily loves Lola-

She shares my love for our four legged friends and all things Disney.  I would quite like a relationship like hers *sigh*.  This blog just makes me happy :)

Rockstar diaries- 

I love following this little family.  I have never seen such smiley people.

Milk bubble tea-

One of my absolute favourites- beautiful photography and shes just comes across as an absolute sweetie.

Yummy mummys beauty blog-

I pretty much buy every nude lip colour Holly blogs about!  She also has great style.

So there we have it- thats just a few of my faves- im sure most of you have already subscribed to/heard of these fab blogs but if you havent you most definitely should.
