Snow Day

Good afternoon petals, Today in my little part of Britain it is a complete white out :)


Where I live is no where near as beautiful as this, but it is very snowy and fresh.

I cant get to the hospital to go to work so I thought I should revel in the snow :)

Spring Clean

Indeed by the title it is apparent I am having a spring clean in room.

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 :)

I told you in an earlier post that I have a small journal/diary type book I recieved for Christmas

Not as pretty as those above its quite simple.

I have a some tasks to complete for 2010
well tasks is the wrong title to use, places I would like to venture to.




    There you go just a small insight

Wishlist: February

Hello Petals,

As you can tell, I have quite a bit of free time on my hands. My neice jessica is 11 months old and is keeping herslef amused with her activity table and America's Next Top Model.............ok thats on for my amusement, but she loves it too so everyone is happy :)

At the moment in the sparkly world beauty and fashion there is so much I want, but as usual with my student wages I can not afford everything that I want. TYPICAL!

Valentines day is on its way round, maybe I could treat myself, or be treated ;-p
Marc Jacobs Lola
 
This as well as Nina Ricci's Ricci Ricci, was on my Christmas List, but Santa decided Nina Ricci would be more deserving. So I am still eagerly waiting for this................Valentines Day anyone!?

Disney Couture Alice in Wonderland Wrap Bracelet

For along time I have wanted this, and its very fitting dont you think, I have a sneaky feeling a family member has purchased one as a present, cant let too much away :)

Urban Decay: Alice Palette



 Ok so Alice seems to be a running theme, I want baaaaaad! (no more alice now I promise xx)

Essie 
  • Watermelon - A refreshing juicy deep peach
  • Barbados Blue - Baby Blue
Also a new care would be wonderful!

What Brand do you consider better, OPI or Essie and why?

Love Love

Something Alittle Different

Last Night I could not sleep for the life of me, and this morning I had to be up early to babysit my neice Jessica. But anyways last night I needed to find something to do other than "count sheep".

I was flicking through pictures of this years Grammy Awards, I came across a picture of Lady GaGa:
 
Does anyone think this is alittle toned down for the Lady of GaGa?
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 PrivĂ© thats who. 

According to the Telegraph, Armani Privé was inspired by the Sky at Night for his Haute Couture Collection of Spring/Summer 10.

Lets take a look at some of Lady GaGa's wackier ensembles :)


Only she could pull off right?

 
So what do you think Lady GaGa's most eccentric garments are?

Must get back to the small infant now 

Love Love

Review: Neutrogena Deep Clean 2-in-1 Invigorating Wash and Mask

What Neutrogena say:
NEUTROGENA Deep Clean® Invigorating 2-in-1 Wash and Mask works in two ways to cleanse deep into pores and leave your skin feeling refreshed and invigorated. 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.

What I Think:
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.
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.

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

What is your go to cleanser?

~*December/January*~

As you all probably know I have not posted in a long time because of University and silly things. I thought I would give you a run down on what I have been doing and getting up to.

Christmas came and went so fast but I recieved some lovely treats from family and friends :) particulary a little journal/notebook I have written some ideas in that I shall elborate on with you.

New Years Eve was celebrations all round where I bumped into some old friends I lost contact with, we have rekindled our friendship <3



January involved myself relising that some extra weight had appeared round my stomach, most probably from those lovely cupcakes my friends had bought round to feast on :)

I joined the gym (NYE resolution shift the cupcake love)



It was my birthday in January right at the end to be exact.......well sort of.
New dresses, shoes, and cocktails



J'adore Florence, White snow flake polish, the kooks and berets

A Very Large Apology

As you can tell by the title ths post will be an apology from me to you. Why you ask? Because I have neglected my blog for an awfully long time.

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.

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 :)

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.

Keep up the good job kittens
