Christmas used to be my favourite time of the year but I’ve felt my feelings on it change over the last couple of years as I’ve got older. I try not to be a miserable grinch, but from the minute the shops start playing Christmas songs after Halloween, I start grumbling. So Husband and I … More Christmas in Copenhagen – Lillejuleaften
Once again, I’ve tried to spend every spare moment reading, and have reached a tally of 81 books completed in 2015 (possibly a couple more if I can get them done by Friday). I’ve read a few books this year that others raved about but I didn’t get at all – Fates and Furies by … More Book review 2015
Week four is a short one, and uneven for the two calendars – Liberty choosing to give us 25 days on their advent instead of 24. Not that I’m complaining! Liberty Day twenty-two – Liberty lavender and wild chamomile soap. I had this last year and couldn’t bring myself to open the beautiful packaging. I … More Beauty Advent Calendars – week 4
It’s 2-0 to Liberty. Is this going to be Marks and Spencer’s week? Liberty Day fifteen – ESPA Optimal Skin Pro Cleanser. I was not impressed with this cleanser in the Liberty 2014 calendar. I’ll be giving this away. Boo. Day sixteen – Kiehl’s Amino Acid Shampoo. This one I am pleased with. I do … More Beauty Advent Calendars – week 3
I’m not really feeling Christmas this year, so it’s good that Not Another Bill didn’t go nuts with a theme. I think Husband is more into this month’s gift than I am though. They’ve sent me a Gin Mule kit, which is two cute copper mugs, a little bottle of Sipsmith Gin, and a recipe … More Not Another Bill – December 2015 review
The BFI is brilliant. As part of their Love season, they showed Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight one after the other and I think I ended up paying about £5 for each film. Ace! The Trilogy are three of my favourite films, but I haven’t ever seen them all in one go. I … More Baby, you are going to miss that plane
Liberty vs Marks and Spencer – GO! Day eight – Aurelia Miracle Cleaner. This is a lovely cleansers, and came with THE MOST ADORABLE MUSLIN CLOTH. Wrap something up in a bow, and I’m going to love it. Day nine – Margaret Dabbs Nail and Cuticle Serum. The cheeky monkeys changed the colour of the … More Beauty Advent Calendars – week 2
Husband and I were on our own for BUG 49 as Tim had a hipster party to attend. Dr Buckles was on sparkling form however, and showed a great selection of videos. My favourites: I haven’t heard of Stealing Sheep before, but this song led to us staying up late to listen to their album. … More Wow Balloons – BUG 49
I’ve decided to battle my two beauty calendars against each other. Who will win week one? Liberty Day one – Byredo Bal D’Afrique hand cream. I’ve used this a couple of times and it smells wonderful. And expensive. Day two – Ren Moroccan Rose body wash. Ren is always a winner and is one of … More Beauty Advent Calendars – week 1
Scuse the grainy photo, but I was sorting through my Tatty Devine collection and I thought I’d document my current stash. It has been noted by a few people that I may be displaying obsessive behaviour when it comes to by Tatty Devine. I can’t disagree. I’ve picked up a couple of things in their Secret … More We agreed to not have anymore stupid interventions at our Intervention intervention
