Review: Scrumptious Lip Balm Good Enough To Eat

Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast

First of all i want to say WOW this is the nicest tasting lip balm like EVER and yes i know you are not meant to eat it lol but you just can't resist licking your lips when you wear it it's CRAZY.

I am a HUGE fan of this not only does it taste nice it smells really nice and also moisturises your lips really well.

I have had a lot of compliments about it when the girls at work etc have tried it.

I would definitely say try it for yourself its a great product

Review: Hair Saviour - Batiste Dry Shampoo

Ok i am a total LOVER of dry shampoo it saves my life while making my hair smell LUSH =)

I have tried a few from their collection.....

1. Tropical - This is my norm i LOVE this one and can't get enough of the smell of it! mmmmmmmm

2. Blonde Hint of Colour - I have used this one before but i went back to the tropical because the colour looked a little odd in my hair. Not a huge fan.

3. Blush - I am really not a floral kind of smelliness person lol so i didnt really enjoy this....tooooo flowery for me but it works just as well as the tropical one bar the smell. =)

4. XXL Volume - this is the newest out of the collection i have tried. Don't get me wrong it totally does give you volume and is very effective more for up dos i would say because it makes your hair feel extremely coarse and full of product. I don't really like this due to the fact it makes your hair feel so stuck together and dry where as i dont find the others do.

I think the next one i want to try is the WILD mind you i probably will still totally revert back to TROPICAL because i don't personally think you can beat it =)

Wrap Bracelets ADDICTIVE!

Ok so by now you have probably noticed i have a slight addictive personality.

I am totally and completely addicted to making wrap bracelets inspired by the Chan luu bracelets!

They are relatively easy to make and just look totally B-E-A-U-tiful lol.

Here are a few i have made so far......

This is the 1st one i made with thicker cord on the outside and contrasting thread

This one and the one below are made with the same colour thread to the cord and slightly thinner cord

Simple button fastenings

sorry this picture quality sucks a little

I need more beads and thread so i can crack on making more i love them!

Also i am not sure if i like the thicker or thinner cord bracelets best what are your thoughts???

Thanks

Paper Bead Addiction

Hey guys,

So i made a start on the paper beads for the bracelets i am making some friends for Christmas. It is sooooo easy (a little fiddly) and takes a little time but easy enough and you can do it while catching up on tv lol.

Some of my 1st attempts



I just thought i would share with you how easy it is to do them. If anyone would like a tutorial step by step i would be happy to help as well =)

Christmas organisation routine time.

Ok so i have started to try and get organised for Christmas because it is coming around sooooo quickly its scary! I lurrrvvvveeeee being organised so every year i do the same.

• Write a list of who am buying for
• Write a list of ideas of what i could get each person
• Think of how i am going to give them their presents (i.e. snazzy wrapping paper, boxes with tissue, do it as a kind of pic n mix) i know i think waayyyyyy to much in to it but i love things to look pretty and i like taking time and putting effort in to things =) hehe 
• Do a little research and find the best place to find what i am getting.
• Work out if my finances are going to stretch this far (usually dont and have to improvise lol)



So yeah this year i am feeling a lot more creative and was thinking with friends especially and maybe my sister of making them them things to go with and bulk up their Christmas presents =) so its extra special this year. Ideas i have had up to now.....


• Bracelets - there are a few types i have been reading tutorials on for example the chan luu inspired bracelets and also i found a tutorial for making paper bead bracelets and i wondered how they would turn out.



Paper beads bracelet



Chan luu bracelets



I thought by adding some things in their Christmas boxes like this it will give them more of a personal touch =) also i know that one of my friends wants me to make them a Record earring holder like i have previously posted about.

Another idea i had was sock monkeys i love them lol they are the cutest im not sure how good my sewing skills are yet but i may have a go lol.



Sock Monkey





The other idea i had so far for the girlie's was to make them a magnetic bobby pin (curby grip) holder.

So yeah i will keep you updated with anything i do make. It's a good job they don't read my blog lol.

I'm struggling for the boyfriend a little bit tho so any ideas would be appreciateded lol.

Halloween Nails

I was a little bored and started browsing the internet for halloween costumes and ideas i thought about maybe becoming a mummy  this year.

Me and my friends did a Zombie Slumber Party   last year.

Thats a couple of us last year.

As i was researching my mummy costume i came across these nails....

http://peacelovepolish.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/for-my-mummy-dearest/

I thought these were pretty awesome myself and if i am going as a mummy i think this would look pretty cool =)

Some other cool nail art i came across when i was looking too....
