More Nail Art!

2012-04-26T00:39:00.001-07:00

Here's a few of my first nail art designs...
Buzzy bees

Peace, Love and Chanel

Posh Penguins

They were really easy and fun to do. I even had the buzzy bees on my nails for a job interview to brighten up my plain outfit and show off my sense of humour :-)

Introducing my Thomas Sabo Charm Bracelet

2012-04-25T01:45:00.001-07:00

I totally adore my Thomas Sabo charm bracelet, so i thought i'd share it with you. It was bought for me by my lovely work friends as a leaving gift and included the little silver bow charm. I was really touched as it was so thoughtful and really suited my personality.

It kick started another bug for collection, so at Christmas my hubby bought me the 'J' and my soul sister got me the lipstick (she knows me far too well... It's like a mini Chanel!)
I'm really careful with it as the charms attach with a small hook on clasp which are quite fragile, each charm starts from approx £25 upwards (some in their £100's ) so I'd be gutted if I lost one.
I always wanted one of those Disney charm bracelets as child so this has filled my long lost void, in fact I think a Little Mermaid or Minnie Mouse may be my next addition!
As a last little note... You may think my blog is named after Minnie Mouse, however it's actually my nick name for my gorgeous niece Yasmin! #uselessfactoftheday

Cutesy Bow Reverse French Mani

2012-04-24T09:46:00.001-07:00

Ok so here is the first post of many nail art designs...

I have an obsessive nature by admission, which is a very expensive habit! Luckily this latest little craze is not to pricey on the purse, thanks to eBay I've managed to pick up some really cute accessories from a seller in Hong Kong and Its well worth the wait for shipping.

These little plastic bows are sooo cute and they cost less than £1.50 for 20 which included postage!

So, on to the design.... I've called it 'The Cutesy Bow Reverse French Mani'
I think it's cute, summery and really easy to do.. But it's a nuisance to wash your hair!!

Here's what I used, the polishes you can vary but I do find the Seche Vite top coat the best for me to use (see my previous post)

First I applied a base coat, it's really important to protect your nails from staining and glue but it also fills ridges and the polish lasts longer.

Then I applied a few coats of the white by Illamasqua, I don't really rate this polish as it takes lots of product to coat and for the price simply isn't worth it.

Next is the French tip, it's a little more difficult for me to do the right hand so I always do this first. I used 'feelin' hot hot hot' by OPI which is a raspberry pink colour.

A layer of top coat was added and finally a bow was glued to the tip of each ring finger. It would be more ideal to get someone else to add the bows as the glue is super strong and the bows a blooming nightmare to pick up with tweezers...

Oohps almost forgot the glue... Bought from Sally's Beauty Supplies.

Face in a tube: No 7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream

2012-04-24T04:45:00.001-07:00

I was given the No 7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream as a birthday gift from my lovely sis-in-law Jen, she told me I'd love it and it's true!

It's a little bit like a tinted moisturiser but with more coverage and staying power... A moisturiser, primer, concealer and coverage rolled into one. I'm such a lazy non-routine make up applier, so this product is fantastic for me... I literally wack a bit on with my finger tips and hey presto I'm looking slightly more human in the morning!

No 7 have done really well with this product which comes in other skin/shade options as its so user friendly at an affordable price too. I'm planning on packing it in my travel bag for Cuba as it contains an SPF 15, it's always handy to have at the start of a holiday before the sun has done wonders for my skin.
My only negative point would be the colouring, whilst the medium matches my skin tone I have noticed that it gives a bit of an ashy appearance to my skin. Not too much of an issue as I am a fan of the old bronzer anyhow, but a warmer tone would be much appreciated.

Hola!

2012-02-05T14:48:00.001-08:00

Hi Everyone, I'm back (again)!
I've got so much to share and I've finally managed to sort out the problems with the Ap that I was using... sadly I lost loads of posts I'd saved to upload, so it's all from scratch and new :-)

So what's new and what will be coming up?

Right now I'm obsessed with nail art, I'm enjoying unleashing a bit of creativity without the damage that is caused from artificial nails. Lots of posts to come on designs and tools.

I'm off to Cuba in a couple of weeks with the hubby to celebrate his Birthday, we're really looking forward to the break so I'll have a special travel article with pictures galore!

I've done lots of re-vamping and organising to my home... So it calls for some lady DIY show and tell, I'm constantly re-decorating in fact I think perhaps I may have a deep underlying problem :-)

.... And of course lots of shopping confessions, hauls and outfits!

Thanks for reading.... Jen xoxo

Hairstyle for today: all around weave with loose bun x

Black Friday

2011-12-23T17:01:00.000-08:00

Well it's Christmas Eve Eve and it's the infamous black Friday or Mad Friday whichever you want to go with. I was in work till 9pm but still managed to squeeze in a bit of spending this morning with the cleverly marketed 'VIP' Next sale slot (which everyone on my Facebook appeared to have!) that I was booked in for at 7am. The crazy thing is I managed to rack up about £300 on 'bargains' but I can't even remember what I've bought. *mental note to self: New years resolution number 1- stop buying everything with a sale tag on! So, that being said I'm not hitting the town as I'll be far too tired and far too broke. To everyone who is having a few Christmas tipples... Have fun and be safe, cheers!

Did anyone else grab some bargains today in the sales?

Lulu Guiness Anna Bow Bag

2011-12-22T16:44:00.001-08:00

Look at my lovely new bag! I already have it in black but I heart it so much I've purchased it in stone (just red and purple to collect!)
It's in patent leather with a chain strap and bow detailing. The strap can be worn doubled up as a shoulder bag or as a long strap and although it's small in size it fits a lot in it.

It has the signature 'lips' lining and dust bag... Isn't she a beauty?

Wine-o-clock Nails

2011-12-22T16:25:00.001-08:00

My nail varnish reminds me of two of my favourite things this week 1. Christmas and 2. WINE, it's been on for a week so please excuse the chips :-/

It's velvet bow by China Glaze with
Seche Vite overlay. It's a very dark crimson colour which is not really my cup of tea but it's growing on me and feels quite sophisticated.

iPad!!!!!

2011-12-21T14:45:00.001-08:00

Yay! The hub and I have a new addition to the family... Our shiny IPad 2! We've decided to go a little light on the gift giving this year as we have spent a fair few pounds on the kitchen (ahem and on beauty buys!) so it was our joint gift to each other.
I recently got the new iPhone 4S and have been driving everyone mad with my conversations with SIRI... Will it snow tomorrow? Etc, so I gave my hub my old iPhone and bless he is made up with it and has discovered the addiction of twitter!

In order to protect my new baby, I attacked Selfridges with gusto and bought this fab Marc Jacobs case to keep it warm :-) it cost £45. It's extra padded and squishy for protection in a simple black colour to avoid mucky finger marks.

Feeling Festive... Yankee Candles

2011-12-20T16:32:00.001-08:00

Christmas is only a few days away and I am definitely feeling very festive, my kitchen is complete, all my presents are wrapped and I have treated myself to a few cheeky early Christmas gifts!
I adore Yankee Candles, I could literally harp on about them forever with their gorgeous scent, super long burning times and fabulous packaging... You could say I was a fan!
Well move over clean cotton, baby powder and sparkling lemonade (some of Yankee's fragrances) I'm bringing out the Christmas spirit with this festive swirl collection, I bought a set of three large jar candles that burn for upto a whopping 50 hours each...

Peppermint swirl- a combo of cranberry peppermint & jack frost
Mrs Claus' Cookie- a delicious helping of Christmas Eve & Christmas Cookie
Holiday Welcome- a pairing of home for the holidays with balsam & Cedar

They smell divine in the different rooms of my home and create a lovely warming atmosphere, Merry Christmas to me :0)

Happy hands :-)

2011-10-25T01:27:00.000-07:00

On the theme of winter blogs today I have another little extra saviour for the cold months ahead and that is my mini L'Occitane hand cream tubes. In this weather my hands can become dry so these tubes are perfect for popping in my bag.

They contain shea butter which is wonderfully moisturising and they smell divine. What I also think is cute is the old Victorian-esqe packaging, on the interior design perspective they look fab on the dresser!

French Fancy!

2011-10-25T01:15:00.000-07:00

I picked up these two jumper's in H&M for some new warmies for work, the added bonus is that they were in the sale! I'm loving the 'Au Revoir' one, I think I may go all French and wear my beret with it :-)

Stepping into Winter

2011-10-25T01:11:00.000-07:00

I'm really starting to feel the chill now, so much so the heating is on full temp and my slanket has made its way out of the cupboard and onto the couch. With winter comes winter clothes, so here are my three must have pairs of winter boots for the cold months ahead...

I know that I'll be wearing these three pairs of boots all through winter as they are comfy, warm and go with pretty much everything..

I heart my Michael Kors wellies!

I bought these in Vegas and I love them, they are shorter than most wellies so are great for my chunky calf's. I'll be donning these in the snow and for walking Bruno in the park. Whilst I like the classic look of the must have Hunter wellies, I'm all about the funky wellies and would love a pair of bee's or frog's like what kids have, hee hee.

My new Emu's! *I got staff discount on these beauties

Knee length Rider boots.

These boots I got from Next and are really comfy and go with all kinds of looks. I bought them in the wider fit as I generally have trouble getting boots to fit my calf's as I have chunky muscles from doing boxing/thaiboxing from when I was younger. On the plus side they easily fit, on the negative they are that big I can pull them on and off... I can't really win, so I wear them over jeans or chunky tights. Either way they were a bargain and I'veworn them loads already.

Which are your must have winter boots?

Jen xoxo

Bruno in his dingy!

2011-10-24T15:21:00.000-07:00

Just a quick one from Bruno... getting cosy in his doggy doughnut bed, how cute is he?

A couple of weeks ago we had a day out at the lake as the weather was lovely, Bruno decided to take a dip and annoy the fishermen and ducks. Unfortunately, he stepped on some glass on our way home and cut his pad :( I felt really guilty, but luckily for Bruno his mum did some doggy first aid on him and he is now all fully recovered!

Microwave Meal skin!

2011-10-24T05:09:00.000-07:00

My skin has been really bad lately what with lack of sleep and a diet of high salt content microwave meals, so in an attempt to nurse it back to fresh faced health I have embarked on an Elemis detox!

I have always had a love affair with my Elemis products but I'm always chopping and changing my routine. Currently I'm using the Balancing Lime Blossom cleanser & toner and using my favourite moisturiser Pro-Collagen Marine cream (and night cream) twice daily. Two or three times a week I'm using skin buff and fruit rejuvenating skin mask and I am really starting to see an improvement in my skin tone, it feels fresh, bright and smells fabulous! My secret ingredient to this detox has been drinking plenty of water and Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules...

These capsules have really given my previously dull skin that extra boost, leaving it looking revitalised. They contain pure Moringa Oil which is said to have anti-ageing properties to renew the skins elasticity and youthfulness. The key part for me is the anti-oxidants which counter-act signs of pollution (all the demolition going on in my house!) and ridding skin cells of toxins (cue the microwave meals!).

One pink cap is used in the morning and the green at night, the top twists off to reveal just the right amount of the essential oil to be massaged into the skin. My face has never looked so fresh!

Building site blogging!

2011-10-23T08:56:00.000-07:00

I am currently blogging in a building site... this building site is called home. You may have noticed a serious drought in my recent blogs, I've been pretty hectic and rather than state this in words I thought that I would display it in pictures...

The original tiny kitchen!

Kitchen removed and wall knocked down!

Bomb site

Bricking up the back door

False wall and electrics go in...

Other side of the wall!

Getting plastered (non-alcohol variety)

Parts of the new kitchen delivered.. yay!

My little nephew Finley checking out the larder cabinet :-)

Starting to take shape

Looking forward to not washing the dishes in the bath!!


Cooker in


Ice cube lights

Sneaky extra... me having a go at tiling the floor!! *pat's back*

So... this is were we are currently up to, hopefully by the end of this week we will be fully functional (it's been 6 long weeks!) My skin is terrible from eating non-stop microwave meals and serious lack of sleep, so I've embarked on a new skin care regime and will soon be cooking up some healthy dishes in my new kitchen!!

Bath Time! Philosophy Hazelnut Espresso shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath

2011-08-03T13:41:00.000-07:00

Mmmm Mmmm Mmm... had to share this most gorgeous bath product with you! Philosophy is a brand that I really love, their products are fun with cute little recipes and definitions on the bottles (a little light reading in the tub!) and they have unique scents that smell absolutely divine!!

Today's amazingness comes in the form of HAZELNUT ESPRESSO high-foaming shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath. It has such a yummy smell to it that is rich and velvety, It kind of reminds me of a Starbucks caramel latte! However its not too coffee-ish (a phrase I obviously just made up, but seems fitting) it could also be mistaken for chocolate, either way its G-o-rgeous.
I only ever use these mammoth bottles as bubble bath, as they seem rather rich for the other aforementioned uses but this is just personal preference. They do create a just the right amount of bubbles in the bath and I have found that although the fragrance is strong the product is still kind on the skin.

Anyhow that's my quick little summary, I'm off to run myself a lovely latte bath good enough to sip :)

Cineworld Unlimited Card

2011-08-03T13:34:00.000-07:00

I have been missing in action lately, largely due to the fact that my lovely hubster bought us both Cineworld unlimited passes and we have been glued to the little seats at our local cinema ever since, watching all the latest movies!
We are both total movie buffs (my degree covered Film and Cinematography) and will literally watch anything, so the idea of being a movie VIP appealed to us.
The membership costs £14.99 per month (not the West End) and you can watch as much as you like, whenever you like. The only draw backs so far, you cannot book online or more than one day in advance (some movies will be booked out before screening, i.e Twilight, Harry Potter etc). It's an extra £1.50 each to see the movie in 3D (80p for dodgy specs), and obviously you can only use it at Cineworld.
These are not really big issues for me, as I prefer to wait till the hysteria of a movie has subsided a little as I don't want lots of noisy nibblers around me.
So far I have watched 4 movies in my first 7 days, with adult tickets costing £7.50 each, I have well had my monies worth!
This is what I went to watch;
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 in 3D- Loved the whole Potter franchise, brilliant finale 5/5
Bridesmaids- Genius comedy, hysterical 5/5
Zoo Keeper- All round family entertainment, cute talking animals 4/5
Horrible Bosses- Very funny, Jennifer Aniston plays a great role 3/5

We forgot to use this code at the checkout SUMMER27 but if you do, then you get the first month for free!

Were going to see Captain America tomorrow, which is not something I would have picked but that's the great thing, I don't have to pay and I may just really enjoy it... if I don't, I can always leave half way through!

Mini MAC Haul

2011-07-20T00:04:00.000-07:00

My latest little splurge at MAC was on the small side but still rather successful. I took a quick look at the Semi Precious collection which I found was really pretty and 'grown up', but the only thing that really wow'd me were their new split fibre brushes.

I picked up the 128 Split Fibre Cheek Brush (RRP £24.00)

It's a combination of both synthetic and natural fibres, which is super soft for application of blush with a natural blended look. I heart it already as it will be fab for travel as its like two amazing brushes in one!

My next item was a perfect match to my gorgeous new brush... Powder blush in 'Fleur Power' (RRP £17.00)

I opted against a pro palette pan refill as I wanted an everyday blush to chuck into a small make-up bag for on-the-go application just for myself. The assistant in store was really helpful and suggested this shade for me and I was pleased with the colour pay off as sometimes I struggle to get a nice shade for my skin tone.

Lookin' flush!

One of my biggest regrets on my wedding day was not having this next item in my pearl clutch! No matter what oil/shine free products or powders I use I always end up with a big shiny face and it REALLY bugs me. I picked up these blot film sheets (RRP £10.50) They are super sized an you get 30 in the pack. If I didn't get discount I'm not sure I would have initially paid £10.50 for them, however I have found them pretty amazing so they were worth every penny. I think I'll buy a range of blotting sheets and do a little comparison for a future blog, perhaps I'll find a cheaper alternative.


OIL BE GONE!!

My final product is new from the 'Sized to go' collection and is sooo cute...

Pro eye make up remover in a handy 30ml travel size container (RRP £7.00), ready to chuck in my make-up bag or take on board a flight. They have also created lots of other mini's of your favourite MAC skincare products including Fix+, Cleanse off oil, Demi wipes, Strobe cream and Oil control lotion. They are really convenient in a hurry and also so you can trial them before you commit to a full size and get stuck with a product that you don't like or causes a break out. I asked in store and was also told that these items count in their Back2Mac scheme, which is extra good news!! On a value rating however you are losing out as a 100ml size of this item is £13.50 so that's a loss of approx. 40mls of product to £s, if you are into saving cash you could always purchase the larger bottle (if you love the product!) and de-canter into a smaller bottle. Personally I like the convenience and I will save my mini bottle when I'm done as it will be labelled for future use. I think I'll be picking up the Fix+ next time as it's always a pain taking the full size on holiday or to festivals.

What do you think of the new collections, are you loving or loathing?

The Next Summer Sale

2011-07-19T12:47:00.000-07:00

This weekend has been a little bit of a wash out with the weather, which unfortunately (for my husband) lends itself to idle thumbs in need to keep themselves busy...obviously in the form of my favourite past time SHOPPING! For some unknown crazy reason I decided to humour my sister-in-law and drag myself out of bed at 4am to join her and the mass hysteria called The Next Sale.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw that other 'crazy' people had also awoken from their slumber for this spectacle, consequently creating a que to the front door as long as my bank statement. Whilst I do not wish to experience such a traumatic morning again for a long time, I was really pleased with some of the bargains I picked up for our home and a few little treats for the hubby and myself.

SOME OF MY FAVOURITE PURCHASES

How cute is this cushion? It's for Bruno!

Some 'everyday' tops


Yes! I fought off the under my legs lady for these sets. Jen 1 Leg lady 0

£12, Great as it charges my phone too!

I thought this was really sweet, nice to open the door to!

Some of the other happy shoppers *cough, cough* present that morning were running around the store like they were on an episode of supermarket sweep, which was quite funny to witness. At one point a woman actually crawled under my legs to nab herself a double duvet set, at which point I started to crack. The poor husbands that had been dragged out as bag carrying mules had strategically placed themselves on the half price sofas in the home department surrounded by swag, whilst their other halves ransacked the underwear rail and children's section. The word 'SALE' to me is a double edged sword, beautiful items at half the price but at the cost of crazy people stalking your purchases to try and take them from you. So, in conclusion to this subject, if you want to grab a bargain you've got to be prepared to get your hands dirty, and the early bird gets the best bedding!

NOTE: I also had a VIP online slot booked in on Wednesday and was really dissapointed as the site kept crashing/kicking me off, I did manage to still spend a small fortune but its nice to come home from work each day to different little parcels :)

Outfit of the day!

2011-07-19T11:51:00.000-07:00

This is what I wore on Sunday to a Christening (Congrat's Mason James!)

For the first time ever I wore clip in hair extensions that I bought from Sally's, They didn't add much length as my hair is quite long and thick but I was just having a little trial.


Look at Bruno trying to stop me going out, little monkey!

The weather on Sunday was rather pants and I was going into Liverpool afterwards so I opted for a full shoe, these lace up wedges are from New Look and I got them for the bargain price of SSssshhh £8.00 in the sales!!

Dress: ASOS

Jacket: Topshop

Necklace: River Island

Watch: Michael Korrs

Bag: Louis Vuitton

Reebok Runtone: My bargain purchase!

2011-07-17T15:14:00.000-07:00

I picked these up on my little trip to JJB sports in Oxford, I couldn't resist as they were such a bargain and I had previously had my eye on the Reebok Easytone.

They are designed for making your run a little bit more beneficial on toning up your body, due to the air pods positioning in the bottom of the shoe. The sales assistant was incredibly rude and pushy, plus she didn't really promote the footwear in a positive light, telling me not to get them wet (so buy there JJB £2.99 spray) and the air pods could burst (so buy there JJB insoles). I'm not one for the hard sell and if the sales assistant has a really bad attitude problem, she ain't getting anymore cash out of me even if her miracle spray is only £2.99! I'm not too sure if I'm convinced in their 'technology' but I hate running so anything will help! They are however extremely comfy and have slight reflectors which is a plus when running at night. For £22.49 instead of £89.99 I'm not going to complain, but I'll let you know on how they fair up... so far I've only worn them to a Zumba class and to play on the XBox Kinnect, so not really quite the 10K or London Flora Marathon!

BARGAIN!!!!

Wedding Belles!

2011-07-11T14:37:00.000-07:00

Last week the hub and I attended our friends wedding and we were lucky enough to have the sunshine on the day. It was a lovely occasion and the bride and groom looked stunning, so congrats to Simon and Kerry on their special day!

This is what I wore on the day

Facinator: Marks and Spencer's

Dress: Topshop

Shoes: Next

Jewellery: Topshop

(China Glaze nail polish)

How lucky am I? Look what the hub surprised me with today...

I am the biggest Elemis fan (especially the Pro-Collagen range!) This set contains Pro Collagen day and night cream, Pro Intense Eye & Lip contour cream, Pro Radiance cream cleanser and Pro Collagen quartz lift serum. Certain to keep wrinkles at bay and skin looking smooth. All in a beautiful purple padlock case (I heart storage!), perfect for travelling and weekends away... Thanks Hub! <3

Looking dapper!

Hair in a Hurry! Batiste Dry Hair Shampoo,

2011-07-11T14:13:00.000-07:00

We've all been there, running late for work and you simply don't have time to wash your hair. My favourite rescue product for such a hair crisis is Batiste dry hair shampoo in a can! It's been around forever and I first thought it was a product for granny's as the original design on the can screamed blue rinse, but it has since been updated and comes in a variety of fragrances.

I'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with it as it has gained cult status, but just in case you are in the dark about this amazing product I thought I would spread the fabulousness of this spray.

Its simple to use as you just shake the can and spray it onto your hair (generally towards the roots) I then muss up my hair as if shampooing then brush out and voilà you have fresh hair with added volume!

I have tried a few (expensive) alternatives to this including one by Ojon which I was totally unimpressed by as the pump spray clogged after one use, my hair did not feel voluminous and quite frankly it cost a small fortune. Batiste spray is available nearly everywhere from your local pharmacy to the supermarket where you shop and cost around about £2.00! So for those days when you need a quick fix, grab yourself a budget buy.

Weekend Break: Banbury, Oxford.

2011-07-10T05:36:00.000-07:00

Last weekend the Hub and I took a weekend break in the lovely market town Banbury in Oxfordshire. We had a lovely time just mooching around the shops, dining out and having a couple of cheeky drinks. It was a refreshing change from our regular routine weekends and I also picked up some mega bargains while I was there!

I got an early dart from work on the Friday, kissed goodbye to my pooch Bruno and we set out on our little road trip...

We stopped for a quick Starbucks and I couldn't resist a go at the teddy grabber machine!

MY WINNINGS!

The Hotel: The Cromwell Lodge

We stayed at the Cromwell lodge which was in the style of an old English Inn. I loved the feel of the place and the staff were brilliant.
We stayed in room 18 which was really quaint with sach windows, a large bed, pine furniture and spacious bathroom.
It came equipped with a hairdryer, iron & ironing board, tea & coffee facilities with little biscuits!
It was a bargain at £99 for 2 nights bed and breakfast. The breakfast was amazing too with plenty of choice.

On the first evening we dined at the hotel and had a two course meal and bottle of wine for just £32.50. The food was fantastic and I was really pleased to see lots of Vegetarian options on the menu.


Sporting my new fringe/bangs!

The following morning we did a little shopping and I was thrilled to find an abundance of shops including all the high street favourites which had massive sales on. We did stop by some smaller stores including a cute pet shop complete with talking parrot and an old sweet store.


Named after me... hee hee!

The hub was incredibly pleased to discover an abundance of Thai restaurants in the town (as it's his favourite grub!) so our evening meal that night was planned, we booked in as recommended and was glad that we did as it was very busy.

After we were all shopped out we went for lunch and a couple of drinks then watched 'Bridesmaids' at the local cinema. The movie was hilarious and the hub and I found ourselves laughing out loud!

So, on to our evening meal...

We went to the Thai Garden (not the one seen in the pic above) I had read on trip advisor that although it looks old on the outside the inside was fabulous and the food was authentic and literally to die for (it was!)

David thought that the little running men on the menu were hysterical! It meant that the dishes were healthy!


Can't escape the shiny face!

The following day we had breakfast and took a short walk around the town again before we head off home, we thought it was really cute to see they had a town crier!

Oh yay, Oh yay!


Had to take a snap of the cows crossing the road!
