I went to a larger topshop store approx 20 miles from my home. <br /><br />I scurried along to topshop as fast as my 28 inch legs and size 3 feet could take me to be faced with a stand which was no bigger than than a lunch box.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want this post to allow people to understand the importance of the NHS (for those in foreign countries National Health Service) for the children within our nation. As you may already be aware the BBC are showing an 8 part programme on the Children's Acute Transport Service (CATS). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">CATS are a service that run nation wide and allows the transportation for a critically ill child from a local hospital, to a larger hospital with a specialised Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is quotes from the NHS CATS website:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>CATS stabilises and transports children needing intensive care from over 50 district general hospitals in the North Thames region and East Anglia to critical care units in London and the South East. In addition, we retrieve ECMO patients to Great Ormond Street Hospital from PICUs across the UK. As one of the largest services in Europe, we retrieve over 1200 critically ill children each year by road and air. The CATS Referral Hotline is staffed 24/7 by experienced administrators who ensure that every referral for intensive care is promptly routed to senior clinical staff on duty. Instant advice is provided by a CATS consultant, who can also teleconference appropriate specialists (e.g. cardiologists, neurosurgeons) to make a rapid decision about when to mobilise the retrieval team.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.strs.nhs.uk/resources/images/ambulance_170x114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.strs.nhs.uk/resources/images/ambulance_170x114.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a fantastic service that the NHS runs and has saved thousands of children's lives. As a student nurse I got the opportunity to work in my local Intensive Care Unit where we were caring for a critically ill child. The child needed to be transferred to Kings College Hospital in London for critical specialist treatment. The South Thames Retrieval Service arrived at the hospital within a couple of hours, the practitioners on board were the highest specialised professionals, and the transported the child with ease and knowledge. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Please please watch this programme, it really opens your eyes to the good the NHS does. Its quite refreshing to see good publicity for a service that has been in work for 60 years. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This service allows hope for the parents of a critically ill child. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope this has not bored anyone and I know it is not my usual topic of thought, but I thought I would tell you of a wonderful cause that gives a critically ill child a second chance, and this is something that is very close to my heart. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I have to release it or I am going to be moody and angry til next week!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today was work on the ward, and I always go to work happy and open minded. There was a particular person whom I did not mould well with someone whom I work with. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a student nurse who qualifies (fingers crossed) in September, so this is my last block of "placements" so I am now in the role of a registered nurse. Delegation is an important aspect to the job. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am very pro equality in the work place and would never put anybody down, but you have to know the boundaries your role has. So to have someone who isnt qualified bossing you around get quite annoying when its you who should be delegating jobs to them as in a way you are their supervisor. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This really rubbed me up the wrong way! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

But little lucky me had the day off today :) and as I have to be on the ward at 06.45am (english time my lovelies) tomorrow morning, I did not want to have a strenous day. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Saturday involved shopping in the city nearest me (but sadly not London) with beau and the friends, which meant embarking on the department store which stocks my beloved OPI. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
I was unsuccessful in finding a wedding outfit, I may have to recycle a previous dress which saddens me, also do you think I could have a change of outfit half way throught the day for the reception, or is this me being shallow lol?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway I did recieve a little present from the beau, which was an OPI polish :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=6234354" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

I am already deciding on my next OPI purchases (wow I am so lame lol).</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I am currently watching the re runs of Russell Howard's Good News, (In England Russell is a comedian) and have actually developed a crush for Mr Howard. Not my usual type, but I think every day with this guy would be a right laugh. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h64/kruemelnikku/schnuffis/community/russellhoward01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h64/kruemelnikku/schnuffis/community/russellhoward01.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> So Russell if your reading (which I doubt very much) hook me up yeah!? lol</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So for OPI to release Hong Kong Collection I thought this was damn right unfair :-) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My nails and toenails have been crossed, dying for local department store to get them in stock sooner rather than later.<b>Lucky Lucky Lavender </b>was originally the first colour I had set my eyes on<b>. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">All this changed when I quickly hurried into the department store, when I should have been sitting nicely and paying attention in a very tedious lecture. Seeing the OPI stand made my regrets of skipping class just float away. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cracklecdn-zoovy-1.simplecdn.net/img/beautymart/W120-H65-Bffffff/O/opi_hong_kong_jade_is_the_new_black_nl_h45.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cracklecdn-zoovy-1.simplecdn.net/img/beautymart/W120-H65-Bffffff/O/opi_hong_kong_jade_is_the_new_black_nl_h45.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Jade is the new black</b> was the colour I decided to treat myself, as it caught my eye. And whos knows if I play my cards right the beau will buy me a few more this weekend when we embark on a magical shopping adventure, mainly because I need an outfit for the beau's cousins wedding, perhaps an OPI to match my outfit? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">I have another review to dish out :)</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Naturally I have dark blonde hair almost mousy brown, my skin is too pale to go darker so I made the decision last year to go blonder but cunningly with highlights, going lighter and lighter each time I have them re-done.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">The genius of having naturally dark blond hair is when my highlights grow out slightly you cant really notice the difference :) But thats not to say I am lazy. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I have tried John Frieda's Blonde option shampoos and conditioner, and I was not overly struck by them. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I have also tried V05's selection of blonde shampoos and conditioner, and was more impressed than John Freida. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.loreal-paris.co.uk/img/l10n/products/305x262/HCa18_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="http://www.loreal-paris.co.uk/img/l10n/products/305x262/HCa18_2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Introducing L'Oreal Elvive Nourish and Shimmer Highlights Shampoo and Conditioner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What The Company Say: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>The brightness of your highlights can fade. To keep them looking their best, you need a specific, targeted care, for touchably soft hair and bright, illuminated shine.</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>L’Oreal Paris has created its first nourishing conditioner enriched with Royal Jelly and Brighteners that provides specific, targeted care for highlighted hair.</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>L’Oreal Paris has created its first nourishing conditioner enriched with Royal Jelly and Brighteners that provides specific, targeted care for highlighted hair.</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My Opinion:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The scent of this shampoo and conditioner collection reminds me of Milk and Honey, and is a welcome change from the usual scent of Lemon and Camomile which alot of blonde shampoo and conditioner collections carry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The shampoo lathers very quickly and easily worked into the hair, and full of scent. The conditioner is creamy and instantly glided through my hair, I left the conditioner on for about 3 mins and combed it through, then rinsed my hair through. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I blow dry my hair rather than letting it dry naturally as I am quite impatient, with other blonde products that I have used on my hair leave it tangled and sometimes matted, but with L'Oreal I was able to comb through my hair after I had towel dried it without much effort. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Price: £2.45 each in Boots :) 5/5</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Packaging: Clean Lines, I was able to tell the difference between the shampoo and conditioner easy. Also the way the bottles are designed when they were near emptying it was easy to get the rest of the products out. 5/5 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Product: I shall be buying this again was very impressed 5/5 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On a side note, for something alittle different go check out Beauty Judge, its home to review on beauty products from Highstreet to Highend.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xx</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">P.S. I was not approached by L'Oreal for this review nor was I given the products by the company :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have problems with cleaning my room, its not that I am awfully messy, it is that when I do partake in the cleaning activity, I find items I may have misplaced or forgot I had. Today this has happened to me :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

But anyways last night I needed to find something to do other than "count sheep".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was flicking through pictures of this years Grammy Awards, I came across a picture of Lady GaGa:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://blackstate.com/images/ladygaga.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://blackstate.com/images/ladygaga.jpg" width="234" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Does anyone think this is alittle toned down for the Lady of GaGa?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I actually quite like it in a strange fairytale way, the intricacies and design of the dress. Who designed the dress I hear you ask? Armani Privé thats who. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">According to the Telegraph, Armani Privé was inspired by the Sky at Night for his Haute Couture Collection of Spring/Summer 10.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Lets take a look at some of Lady GaGa's wackier ensembles :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
<a href="http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2009/07/09/1225747/635280-lady-gaga-039-s-bad-face-day.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2009/07/09/1225747/635280-lady-gaga-039-s-bad-face-day.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Only she could pull off right?</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://chismetime.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/lady-gaga1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://chismetime.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/lady-gaga1.jpg" width="238" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b> </b> </div><div style="text-align: center;">So what do you think Lady GaGa's most eccentric garments are?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Must get back to the small infant now </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Use as a cooling daily wash to remove dirt, oil and make-up or as a weekly mask to experience the fresh sensation as the clay formula cleanses deep into pores without overdrying. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>What I Think:</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I purchased this product when I last had a breakout, and was in desperation on what to do. I purchased this from Sainsbury's Supermarket, for approx £3-4 as I think it had money off. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I shower every morning, so I added this to my routine. The product is a blue almost clay like substance that is smooth, I applied it to a wet face and almost instantly I felt the cooling products of the menthol that is an ingrediant within this cleansing wash as well as salicylic acid. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I noticed after using this wash my face was left smooth, and less shiny. After 2 weeks I had next to no breakouts, I am so so pleased</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What is your go to cleanser?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xx</div><br />

Why you ask? Because I have neglected my blog for an awfully long time. <br />
<br />
The reason why is this, I am currently in the final part of my nursing degree and am now working full time in the hospital as well as doing assignments (the bane of my life). This has resulted u in me having minimal free time, and this free time that is available has been taken up by feeding myself and sleeping where possible. <br />
<br />
Today has been my first day off in a long time, and I have caught up on all your blogs I am subscribed to and of cours the 7 who have subscribed to me. You petals are all doing a fabulous job at your own blogs, that I am a little bit jealous :) <br />
<br />
I am even thinking of giving my little blog a bit of a makeover..........not so sure I am computer savvy enough to be successful yet, but we shall see.<br />
<br />
Keep up the good job kittens <br />
<br />

But instead of making me sleepy its just made my brain work harder. <br />
<br />
This is an idea I have been toying with lately, I know when I sometimes read magazines (I wont name any) I see that they just give you the highend option, and if you are like me, I haven't got pots of money to play round with as I am still a student (I qualify in 7 months). <br />
<br />
So I thought to these highend products that the magazines are spilling out, I would try and give a highstreet money saving option. We all love a cheaper option, to save money on other little luxuries such as shoes and dresses :)<br />
<br />
Metallics have been every wear clothes, nail polishes and eyeshadows. I have been lusting after metallic eyeshadows, I have a number of gold shadows, bronze shadows...........But no silver. Here is my Highend option, Cristal Boreal eyeshadow is a dior product, as part of their Christmas 2009 looks. Its priced at a steep £19.50 for a single shadow. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/SwaWo2rS02I/AAAAAAAAAHI/9-D9cZfQSVE/s1600/silver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/SwaWo2rS02I/AAAAAAAAAHI/9-D9cZfQSVE/s320/silver.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div>Now for the Highstreet option and it comes fro L'Oreal. Here are what the L'Oreal say about their mono colour appeal shadows:<br />
<br />
<em>"Colour Appeal is a super smooth eye shadows designed to provide long lasting colour in a silky smooth formular. Also it doesn't crease."</em><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/SwacFTwlVtI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/a1n4wEOvNpo/s1600/silver+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/SwacFTwlVtI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/a1n4wEOvNpo/s320/silver+2.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div>This little gem will set you back back approximetly £3 - £5 a steal really. <br />
<br />
Lip balms are a love hate relationship for me I have a tough time finding one I truly like. Highend is a Lip conditioner by Mac £10.50. <br />
<br />
<em>"A protective emmolient balm formulated with SPF 15, a sheer wash of colour and an all natural sheen. Conditions lips, locks in moisture. Contains almond oil, shea butter, avocado extract, wheat germ oil, vitamins a and e."</em><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/Swagx8c71bI/AAAAAAAAAHY/LRCmwwpKJfE/s1600/lip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/Swagx8c71bI/AAAAAAAAAHY/LRCmwwpKJfE/s320/lip.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div>So what would be a worthy highend opponent? Sleek Pout Polishes<br />
<br />
<em>"Pout Polish contails an SPF 15 to protect your lips from harmful rays. Highly conditioning Pout Polish contains shea butter, almond jojoba and avocado oil to deeply nourish your lips so you can pucker up in confidence."</em><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/SwajM4FznuI/AAAAAAAAAHg/uh_bfXXz60k/s1600/lip+2" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/SwajM4FznuI/AAAAAAAAAHg/uh_bfXXz60k/s320/lip+2" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div>Have you noticed that the ingrendients are very similar to that of Mac's lip conditioners, but at £3.91 you can say no!<br />
<br />
To finish off this post another Mac Product, in the form of theirLiquid Eyeliner. Priced at £13 its not too expensive and is a good product. Simple packaging makes it versatile.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/SwakeKQBXII/AAAAAAAAAHo/OTvskG5NnlU/s1600/eyel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H6Z7y2dMJOg/SwakeKQBXII/AAAAAAAAAHo/OTvskG5NnlU/s320/eyel.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div>The highstreet product is from a brand I dont really know W7, I havent heard much about them. The only place I found this product was on <a href="http://www.magicmakeup.com/">http://www.magicmakeup.com/</a>. The liquid eyeliner cost less than 75% of Mac's product. This little recession busting beauty product costs a very cheap and cheerful £1.97. I know I cant believe it either! <br />

Ever heard of Beauty Judge!? Well you will have by the end of my post :)<br /><br />Beauty Judge is a website dedicated to beauty reviews, and the honest truth. Whether a product you have used is brilliant or utter rubbish they want to know!<br /><br />I recently won a competition on the website for the free product of the day. Mine was a Bath relaxer from Sanctuary. Here is my review on the product:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I was so lucky to win this product in the free product competition (Thank you so much Beauty Judge!). Before using the product I thought I would do a small bit of research into the product on The Sanctuary website. The product retails on the website for £4.99. This is what Sanctuary have to say about their product: </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"The perfect bath time retreat for sublime relaxation. Emerge from your bath with delicately fragranced, satin soft skin."</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> The product is delicately fragranced without being too heady like alot of other bath products on the market. Your pour this product under hot running water and it sits above the water as it is an oil based product. When your using this product in the bath you can feeling it working immediately, your skin is being moisturised. The oil sits on the skin, and can feel slimy but this is the nature of any oil based product. There is no need to moisturise after the bath as the almond oil within the product has already done this for you. I recommend this as a once a week treat! It is very oily, but a real indulgence. Just be careful when getting out of the bath as will be slippery :) Thanks again Beauty Judge for sending me this lovely product xx</span><br /><br />I urge you to take a visit to the website <a href="http://www.beautyjudge.com/">click here</a><br /><br />A xx~*Alice*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/07199306581279475970noreply@blogger.com0
