Holly Simpson, an entrepreneur from London, has launched a luxury accessory brand for dogs named <a href="http://teddymaximus.com/" target="_blank">Teddy Maximus</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The luxury items range from collars made in the English countryside to beds made with the heart of design in Somerset.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was kindly sent the *<a href="http://teddymaximus.com/collections/teddy-maximus-signature-print/products/teddy-maximus-signature-sky-blue-bow-tie" target="_blank">Teddy Maximus Sky Blue Dog Bow Tie</a> for my three pooches to share and wear and today they starred in a mini photo shoot in the living room where they were nice and snug. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bow tie arrived packaged beautifully in pink tissue paper with sequin stars with the addition of a look book.</div>

The bow tie has elasticated loops on the back so that you can thread it through your doggies collar.<br />

This sky blue is such a lovely colour and this one in particular features dogs' head and little bow ties. It feels excellent quality and is sturdy so it will last. They are priced at £14.99 and you can find this particular one<a href="http://teddymaximus.com/collections/dog-bow-ties/products/teddy-maximus-signature-sky-blue-bow-tie" target="_blank"> here.</a></div>

How gorgeous is little Teddy Maximus pictured here in his bow tie (taken from the look book.) Teddy Maximus is a Dachshund and he looks absolutely adorable. </div>

Here's a variety of items that Teddy Maximus sells and I particularly love the pink Shetland collection even though I have all boys! For each of the toy bones sold, £1 is donated to the Dogs' Trust Charity which is so lovely to raise money for dogs that aren't as fortunate.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my little Whippet Alfie modelling the bow. This is a perfect size for Alfie as he is small. On whippet collars it's quite hard to thread through the width and so a thin collar would be needed for a more polished look for my little prince. Alfie's favourite toy is the dice pictured here. He even takes it to bed with him. I bought him some new ones for his Birthday, exactly the same, and he's not interested. He wants his well loved one!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the bow quite suits my chocolate point Persian - Bobby Chocolate Bobbin. The colour of the bow compliments his fur beautifully.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chewie, my adopted Pugzu, was the hardest to photograph. He would not stay still. He was too busy chasing after treats. His fur is also quite long at the moment on my little poppet and so you can only see a peek of the bow tie on him.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My beautiful Lurcher Teddy Bear was the most photogenic. He's a big boy though so he has a thicker collar to support his neck and therefore the buckle had to be placed at the front.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think of the Bow Ties? I think they make my little princes look posh.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today I arrived at Primark at 8:30am and honestly it's the best time to go. Next time I will be getting up super early as this is the new way to shop. There were hardly any customers in and so I could browse at my own leisure and twirl and touch everything to my hearts content. It's a new store that has opened fifteen minutes away from me and you can park right outside it which is just perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was lucky to receive a gift card and money for Christmas and so I thought about what I actually needed beforehand. This is a big change for me as usually I just grab whatever I liked and then when I get the items home I was finding it hard to co-ordinate with other items I already have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the first item here are some snuggly pyjamas. I don't know about you but all I want to do in my house (in life) is be super snug and warm. I loved the rainbow and little hearts and these felt so thick and soft that I had to get them. I had seen some Care Bear ones on Instagram but they never have any in when I go unfortunately but I'm really happy with these ones.</div>
These were £12 which are a little higher than other years but a bargain if you compare to other shops.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this is such a Laura item. Bambi is adorable and I've made an improvement with getting grey as it goes with everything. I still can't resist some uber cuteness. I just wanted something to pull on to be casual and I think I'll get a lot of wear out of this. This was also £12. I'm not sure how well the print will wash though? Hopefully it will be fine.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I needed some more plain bottoms so that my tops will go with them and so I opted for this chevron pair with an elastic waist as there's nothing worse than jeans digging in. I then put these grey joggers in my basket too and they have a tight fit at the ankles to pull them in. Both pairs were £6 each which I thought was a great price. I love pants like these as they are so easy to pull on and wear. They require little thought for busy days.</div>

Next I got some accessories. I didn't see any jewellery that I liked at all which is a first and so I just picked up some essentials that I will use regularly. I always need black socks and these are such a good price at £2 for five pairs. The quality is quite good and I find them to last quite a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then got three pairs of black tights for £5. I love the thicker ones as I ladder thin ones so they're a complete waste of my time. I've got some skirts coming from an online shop I did so these are a necessity. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need slippers as I don't like it in winter when you walk on the floor and your feet are cold. They're so hard to warm up so the more slippers the better. My dogs pinch my slippers all the time so it's rare that I can find a pair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the most boring brown bobbles that I have ever bought in my life but I thought you know what, at least they'll match my hair and blend in rather than the neon ones I usually get. Also where do bobbles disappear to ? I'm on my last one and I borrowed that one from my best friend too and didn't return it! How good is 50 bobbles for £1?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Reese's pieces and so, on a whim, I put this lip balm into my basket. It smells of chocolate more than peanut but this might change after I use it. It was £1.50.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really needed some new winter boots and was looking for a biker style and flat as I needed to be able to walk in them easily. There were so many with heels on which would be ok for a night out but not for everyday. I spotted these ones and they are so sturdy and excellent quality. The inside also has a furry lining too to keep feet nice and snug. They only had a size up from mine left and I couldn't find any others so I tried them on and they actually fit. These were £15 and I'll get great wear out of these.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I bought this cardigan for £12 which I'll be able to pull on over tonnes of outfits. I really needed something to keep me warm and pop over shirts and dresses that matched what I already had on. This one is perfect and thick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas (if you celebrate it.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Prairie Pizzazz box created by Prairie Charms is a new subscription box that was launched to bloggers first and is now rolling out. Bloggers got to choose the first theme which was Festival and I was slightly later to discover it so the options had already been chosen. The people behind this box are one the most friendliest and efficient at customer service that I have ever come across so a glowing recommendation for that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Festival theme was a perfect choice for this time of year so I was excited to receive my box . Unfortunately due to my box getting lost in the mail , I ordered in May and received it in late July. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I paid for the entirety of my box which was £25. It's a higher price than I pay for other subscription boxes but with it being quarterly and for the amount that you receive inside , I decided to go ahead and purchase one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I love the surprise elements of subscription boxes and Prairie Charms offer you a personalisation by asking you what colours you prefer and what sorts of designs you like . I stated that I loved pastel colours, pink, glitter, unicorns, bows and hearts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So let's see what I received inside... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I loved how they had included lots of sequins Inbetween the shredding too . A lot of thought has gone into the production of this box.</div>

<br />
<b>Lifestyle items</b> :<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Five stripy pink and white straws which I love as I have the Kilner jars and I'll use these for either pink lemonade or cocktails . The colours are just me too so these are fab . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I then received some pink and white chevron sweetie bags which are an excellent size and I think I may use these at my wedding . I already have some blue ones but they are a lot smaller than these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Two sheets of pastel masking stickers which I'm not sure what I'll use them for yet but I need to get my blogging planner back out and perhaps use it to decorate that . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Creamy crunch popping corn . I love that there is a food item that you can make inside the box and I love popcorn . I've not actually made it myself before especially in a saucepan so that should be fun *sets off all smoke alarms in the house*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Hair accessories:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I love hair accessories and these are my favourite <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">pieces in the whole box . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Pink butterfly hair slide which is super delicate as one of the wings has just fallen off and something that I would choose myself . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A cute twist bobble/ bracelet . It doesn't have elastic so it won't hold my hair on its own so would need to go over the top of another bobble but I love the little twisty ears on the top. It's not necessarily a pattern that I would choose for myself but once I've got it out of the packet and popped it onto my wrist I'm warming to it a lot. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Big blue hair bow . Now this wasn't a favourite when I saw it as I would've preferred a pastel colour but this shade will actually suit my hair colour. I do like teal and will wear this underneath my messy bun . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Pack of three hair ties . I love , love , love these and that's because the pink one has gold unicorns on it which are my absolute fave. I love the colours of the other two also and I'll use these often. These are my favourite item of the whole box. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Floral / Azteccy hairband. I love hair bands and have a drawer full of them . This is not one that I would choose at all because of the dark colours and pattern but with a black outfit I think this will look fab. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><b>Jewellery:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Bead bracelet . I quite like the bow but I don't like dark colours and the black and purple beads are just not me so I'll be gifting this to a friend. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Tassel necklace . Again, not something I would ever choose myself and I'm not really keen on it as it's not my style or colour unfortunately . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><b>Nail accessories and metallic tattoos:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Four tiny gold and silver temporary tattoos which are all the rage at the moment . I have the double infinity and a heart and stars pattern which I like . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Nail stickers in pink with hearts , arrows and chevrons.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">So that's everything from my Prairie Pizzazz box . Would I buy it again ? Yes I have a mystical bag arriving which has been delayed :( and the new Luau party box on its way too! Yay ! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Love Laura xoxo </span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I love reading and enjoy the pure escapism from the world. I love books that capture my imagination, that inspire and are a delight to read so when I spotted *Witchcraft Couture by the author Katarina West, I was intrigued to read more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"Oscar Pellegrini is a talented fashion designer with a deadly enemy: his own critical mind. He destroys much of what he designs and has been drifting for years, gradually retreating from the fashion business he loves but holding on to his dreams of success.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A chance meeting with a former girlfriend triggers a creative crisis so deep that Oscar escapes to Russia, where he drinks and despairs like never before. Just when he thinks he has lost everything he discovers a magical machine that turns ordinary outfits into irresistible sartorial triumphs. Oscar takes the machine back to Italy - and before he knows it, he has become famous for his designs, and celebrities and socialites are fighting to be first to wear his gorgeous garments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But the happily-ever-after ending for the fashion messiah turns into a nightmare when his dresses acquire a life of their own, gaining energy and evil as time goes on. Haunted by his creations, a dark secret he is no longer able to hide, Oscar finds himself fighting for his life and sanity, and searching for the answer to a question he never knew existed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Is there such thing as stolen genius, and if there is, can it turn against the very person that stole it?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I chose to read this book as I like anything to do with magic and this book encompassed fashion as well. The only other book that I can think of which is of similar connections is the 'Emperor's New Clothes,' which I read as a child and intertwined with the thinking of 'is it all in your head?' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The author Katarina is an intelligent, well cultured and friendly person whose writing in this book is highly descriptive. The characters, places and events are described in great detail with an impressive array of vocabulary. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It did take me quite a while to finish this book as different events took precedence in my life. I would say that the book was medium paced whereas I prefer a fast paced book that I can whip through easily. What kept me hooked was the wondering of what the magical machine was going to do and how it was going to end. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The book gets you thinking at the end which is a favourite technique of mine. Is the Sampo (magic machine) real or was it actually Oscar's talent after all which created the garments? Can the belief</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
that you're not good enough at something be directed elsewhere so that it seems as though someone or some thing else has created the magic? The fact that Oscar's friend Ben writes a letter at the end which gives a contrasting point of view throws the whole of Oscar's mind set in doubt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Was it magic or talent? That is the question.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Love Laura xoxo </div>

Hi everyone ,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Today I have a fashion sticker book to show you that my mum bought me from the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is the 'Sticker Fashionista. A Year In Fashion," Which retails at £8.95. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Did you ever have one of those paper doll books where you could colour and cut out the outfits ? I absolutely loved those as a child and still I am interested in fashion and creating outfits today. I coloured them in with my 100 pack of felt tips and spent hours on them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The author , Kelly Smith, is an Australian illustrator who has worked for clients such as vogue, Net-A-Porter and H&M. </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The book features life-like, detailed illustrations of models through an array of events and seasons . The paper used is of great quality and therefore this book will last. The paper has been chosen wisely so that the stickers can be reused. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The stickers are arranged into events so that they are easily located and they can be found in the centre of the book. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Stickers can only be placed onto certain models depending on their stances. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You can put the stickers onto the event models or there are additional models on the front and back inside covers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The stickers were easy to peel off from both the glossy inside covers and also the paper used throughout the book . If you were to use the stickers a multitude of times then they would start to become tarnished and worn as, after I stuck them a few times, you could tell they were becoming used by the edges curling a little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The book mentions designers throughout which are well known and has rhetorical questions to get you as a reader involved which adds an interesting edge to the book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The book, to me, has a wide audience as children would love playing with this and so would people who love fashion regardless of age. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To make this even better I would have left some blank sticker pages and blank outfits so that they could have been coloured in and designed by myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Overall;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I thinks it's a fun book that would look great on a coffee table and is one of those pieces that you can return to again and again whether you have a spare 5 minutes or 20. </div>

At first I thought oh it's a nail clipper and then when I tried to get the plastic off it wouldn't budge. So I thought oh maybe it's a hair clip instead and proceeded to try and clip it in my hair! ha ha ha! It fell out and yes it is a nail clipper after all.</div>

This little diamond beauty matches the luggage tag that I received in my previous Kawaii box. I love the style of this.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I got another pack of stickers this month which are always well received. These are cute but just a little bland for me.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the lace effect on these stickers. They are to be used for decorating cups.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Some more post it notes which are in three shapes in this pack.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And finally a bow hair clip which I've never seen before. I use kirby grips in my hair to clip the front section back so hopefully this will look cute.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite items this month are the little pen with the adorable face, the pea squishee and the Hi-Chews.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember on my <a href="http://www.lologlitter.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/my-birthday-wishlist.html" target="_blank">Birthday wishlist</a> where I included Library Of Fragrance scents? Well I was over the moon to receive the *<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Library-of-Fragrance-Baby-Powder-Eau-de-Toilette-30ml_1507917/" target="_blank">Baby Powder </a>and *<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Library-of-Fragrance-Thunderstorm-Eau-de-Toilette-30ml_1507943/" target="_blank">Thunderstorm</a> scents. You can buy 2 for £25 from Boots and I really want the fresh coconut and mango ones now after spotting them on the website.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The concept of these perfumes really intrigued me as I adore anything quirky and the thought of having a perfume that smelt like an everyday item, of which some are abstract, appealed to my nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Packaging:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The packaging to me is clear and simple. I like the use of a coloured box so that the scents are recognisable. It reminds me of the game Monopoly with their coloured property cards. The bottles are very plain and I would have liked to have seen something more quirky to go alongside the scents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Price: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The perfumes are available in the UK from Boots and are price at £15 each or two for £25. This works out at £12.50 a bottle which I think is a great price and I may have to buy two (or four) very soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Performance:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Baby Powder and *Thunderstorm are two of the most popular scents in the collection. I couldn't wait to try these so I sprayed Baby Powder on myself and spritzed my other half with the Thunderstorm. I could not stop smelling these!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Baby Powder smells exactly the same as.........baby powder and it's a gorgeous powdery baby smell which I'm very happy to smell of. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 15ml spritzer tubes will actually last me quite a while so I'll get many a spray out of this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After spritzing the Thunderstorm on my other half it was like a dawn of recognition and an awe of discovery! We both agreed that that would be what a thunderstorm smells like and it was a very wearable scent. I loved it on him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The scents last a good few hours and then they can be topped up as I did so that I continued to smell lovely. I didn't find them overpowering at all, they had the perfect strength.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to sample them all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's what the brand Demeter have to say about their products from their <a href="http://thelibraryoffragrance.com/pages/about-us" target="_blank">website here;</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

"The Library of Fragrance products are produced by New York-based company, <a href="http://www.demeterfragrance.com/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Demeter">Demeter Fragrance Library Inc</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #777777; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Originally established in 1996, Demeter set out to create fragrances that captured all the wonderful smells that surround us every day, but are too often under appreciated in our busy, pressured, multi-tasking world. The first three scents belonging to the collection – <a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/dirt" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Dirt">Dirt</a>,<a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/grass" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Grass">Grass </a>and <a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/tomato" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Tomato">Tomato </a>– were launched at <a href="http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Bergdorf Goodman">Bergdorf Goodman</a> in New York City. With the brand quickly gathering a loyal cult following, the concept soon expanded to include an even broader range of smells – no matter how odd or unusual – and scents such as <a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/gin-tonic" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Gin & Tonic ">Gin & Tonic</a>, <a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/baby-powder" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Baby Powder ">Baby Powder</a> and even <a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/play-doh" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Play Doh ">Play-Doh</a> began to populate the library.</div>

Today, Demeter’s head office remains in Greater New York, whilst the 20,000 square foot factory is located in central Pennsylvania. Everything the company sells is made in this factory, enabling the brand to continue to specialise in unique fragrances and the kind of labour-intensive, short-run, hand-bottled production that makes it possible to carry such a diverse ‘library’ of products.</div>

Scents are now created by Demeter’s CEO, Mark Crames, who has been running fragrance companies since 1986. His creations include the top-selling <a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/baby-powder" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Baby Powder ">Baby Powder</a>, <a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/pure-soap" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Pure Soap ">Pure Soap</a> and <a href="http://library-of-fragrance.myshopify.com/products/clean-skin" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" title="The Library of Fragrance Clean Skin ">Clean Skin</a> and he continues to travel the world looking for inspiration for great, new Demeter experiences.</div>

Today, Demeter’s products are sold in over 35 countries – from Paris, to Moscow, to Hong Kong. There are over 300 unique fragrances in The Library of Fragrance collection – 101 of these are available in the UK via this website, with a carefully curated selection of favourites available exclusively at <a href="http://www.boots.com/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Boots.com">Boots</a>."</div>

I absolutely love this <a href="http://beauxoxo.com/collections/glitter-hair-bows/products/pastel-glitter-hair-bows-available-in-8-colours" target="_blank">White Pastel Glitter Hair Bow</a> from Beauxoxo and won this just before Christmas in a giveaway that Georgie was running. It took me a good while to choose from the colour range of glitter bows as there's so many beautiful choices. I finally decided on the white pastel bow as I thought this would be more versatile and go with absolutely everything. I'd love one in each colour. The bows retail for £5 each and there are smaller ones available too for £3 each.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://beauxoxo.com/" target="_blank">Beauxoxo</a> is an online boutique which sells a wide range of handmade, stunning, hair accessories. Owned and created by the lovely Georgie, <a href="http://beauxoxo.com/" target="_blank">Beauxoxo</a> was created in 2010 and has flourished. A new children's range is going to be added soon too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Georgie's blog '<a href="http://www.dreamsthatglitterxoxo.com/" target="_blank">Dreams That Glitter xoxo</a>' is one of my favourites. Great detail and effort is given with each blog post and the writing is very eloquent. I love Georgie's book reviews and her haul posts too as she is very inspirational. Not only are her photoshoots amazing quality, her communication is friendly and vibrant too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The packaging is very well thought out and I love the whole concept of the brand. My favourite collection has to be the <a href="http://beauxoxo.com/collections/hair-bands/products/pastel-glitter-heart-love-hearts-hair-band-love-hearts-sweethearts-headband" target="_blank">Glitter Heart Hair Bands</a> .The whole styling of the model down to the sequinned, glitter make up, pink dip dye hair and the I'm Your Present Sweetheart earrings are just perfect.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The glitter bow is exceptionally well made and fastens at the back with an alligator clip. The glitter has no fall out either so no matter how many times you wear it, it retains its full sparkle.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have worn the bow in two different ways. Here at a Christmas party, I pulled up the front section of my hair and secured it at the back of my head. The bow stayed in place all night and was really comfortable.</div>

I love wearing my hair up in a messy bun too and wear the bow just underneath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall- I would highly recommend this glitter bow as it is excellent quality and a good price for a beautiful handmade bow clip. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Benefit has got to be one of my favourite make up brands ever. I love the whole retro vibe, packaging and new releases that the company comes up with. I absolutely love the styling of the new salons that have popped up and the the design of the bar that they had before Christmas too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought Elle magazine as it had Benefit make up free with it and not only that it was their new release of the Roller Lash mascara. The full sized version of this mascara costs £19.50 usually so for the price of the magazine it was a great way of trying it out for much cheaper.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have tried out all of Benefit's mascaras before and this is the one that has stood out the most to me. I love the idea that it lifts and curls your eyelashes as I want long fluttery lashes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The sample size comes in a small 3g tube and has a regular lid rather than the pink roller of the full sized version. The mascara wand is also black on this version rather than pink which is a shame as I love the retro roller version.</div>

The brush has been designed so that it hooks the eyelashes and the little spikes ensure that it catches many lashes in order to lift. </div>

Here's my lashes without mascara on and they are quite curled already naturally. They are blonde on the ends too which are more noticeable when mascara is added as they are longer than they look.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one coat of the Roller Lash mascara and I found that it was really easy to apply and curled my lashes. It makes for a wide eyed look and is my favourite of Benefit's mascara so far. I love the black shade and found that it lasted the whole day without any smudges or crumbling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wouldn't say it was super easy to remove as some mascara remained and smudged under my eyes but after a second wipe it all came off.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I love this mascara and would buy the full sized version of it. If you are looking for a mascara that curls your lashes then this is the one whereas if you're looking for length then I would try the They're Real mascara instead.</div>

Woohoo my March <a href="http://www.kawaiibox.com/" target="_blank">Kawaii Box</a> arrived and once again I couldn't wait to open it. I subscribe each month to Kawaii Box and it costs $18.90 per month and that includes free shipping from Japan. I love this box as it contains super cute items and I've never been disappointed with a box. I love collecting all of the accessories and stationery and trying out the different candy that they pop in the box each month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

With the candy this month I'm really please to receive a Kracie kit. This one looks as though it's a marshamallow like candy which you dip and twist into crystallised pieces of sugar candy. </div>

I've not tried a green tea Kit Kat before so this little sample is great to receive to taste.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Onto the accessories. I absolutely love the pastel cube bracelet. It reminds me a little of dolly mixtures and is just my cup of tea. I like the lollipop hair clip although I think it's suited to someone younger than me, although I am still a child at heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also really like this white diamond travel tag as I don't currently own anything like this.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I received a little candy charm which looks a little cheap and smells of strong rubber. I also received this little Kawaii raccoon which is a cutie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the box was a great quality pair of chopstcks and four stationery items this month. The pen will come in handy to use everyday and I absolutely love the galaxy print case. I really want a ring in a galaxy print cabochon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I received Birthday stickers this month which are lovely too and will be great for decorating envelopes, letter or popping into Birthday cards. I also received a Hello Kitty esque pair of glasses eraser.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another good box this month and my favourite items are the Kracie candy kit, the Galaxy print case and the pastel bracelet.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrU4Sxpgdt3bwtI5vZOs9L-ryApTq4ChqBQNHuroWKCjaPbsTrQlSxpPJ-zsrZWIvWJllj2RNc3o9WZCMLhq4Zb0ziKKh1woQDu7puN50Xfji56W_F0aUEK4cgA0mCqX8pbk_MpO2nqhM/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrU4Sxpgdt3bwtI5vZOs9L-ryApTq4ChqBQNHuroWKCjaPbsTrQlSxpPJ-zsrZWIvWJllj2RNc3o9WZCMLhq4Zb0ziKKh1woQDu7puN50Xfji56W_F0aUEK4cgA0mCqX8pbk_MpO2nqhM/s1600/1.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oooooo my <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glossybox</a> arrived just after lunchtime again and I was excited to find out what was inside it. I forgot to mention before that the editor has now changed and the boxes seem to be much improved. Lots of full sized products have been appearing and the quality has upped its game too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glossybox, if you've not come across it before, is a beauty subscription box that costs £10 per month plus p+p. It works out cheaper if you pay for your subscription in advance but I just pay for mine monthly. Inside you find a selection of beauty samples and brands that you may not have heard of before. I love these type of boxes as it'l like receiving a Birthday surprise each month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's take a peek at what I found inside this month's box.......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyj3VsF8FnnIqK5pTGjzxAI5ZriRN5B9ynvXjcNjIwDtfFVmCCzD4koL65HMImedBNSb2mhAwdjhjzt5ILkNDhO5neEgDvHZrM7Y8Ez-fxkXHsVox8MZ35sjMj1FgPtEEH_b6SYgX6zY/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyj3VsF8FnnIqK5pTGjzxAI5ZriRN5B9ynvXjcNjIwDtfFVmCCzD4koL65HMImedBNSb2mhAwdjhjzt5ILkNDhO5neEgDvHZrM7Y8Ez-fxkXHsVox8MZ35sjMj1FgPtEEH_b6SYgX6zY/s1600/2.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's all my products for this month. Straight away I just loved it. It has a varied selection and I will use absolutely everything this month.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRlHy4Ij5pIvxnkXXEQl8yk8_7UK5ifhW6i_E6gzYYlcP3CFQSZ6Qm1kTnVM9nLFbUJdEIvFO8P0q2ZcXTgNkF5iPbbhwdfZU7k07MnPLNi7GaQoAhoMNFGVeCxlq0ebwsEa71nTt12gw/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRlHy4Ij5pIvxnkXXEQl8yk8_7UK5ifhW6i_E6gzYYlcP3CFQSZ6Qm1kTnVM9nLFbUJdEIvFO8P0q2ZcXTgNkF5iPbbhwdfZU7k07MnPLNi7GaQoAhoMNFGVeCxlq0ebwsEa71nTt12gw/s1600/3.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up are these Dove Advanced Hair Series- Youthful Vitality Shampoo & Conditioner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I had my hair balyaged, the blonde has damaged my hair again so anything that helps is a bonus. I've tried other Dove conditioner samples before and they was good so hopefully this new one will be too. Their deodorant definitely does not work for me at all. It lasts around one hour on me and then I start to become unfresh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Full sized for these would be £5.99 for 250ml so it'll have to be amazing for me to repurchase these.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zWBx35Dxk4fAoR6bnB9kz9vabcJcwL_HWl9k-sUQporfByC92stnVkULybt9sTk1QczuZkbPfD-JGbxiUz1qtEzDmPGZtZScyDZ-ep7v6XoltQxPBCDaqeqoM9cnzbRwlnD1nDwZ6yk/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zWBx35Dxk4fAoR6bnB9kz9vabcJcwL_HWl9k-sUQporfByC92stnVkULybt9sTk1QczuZkbPfD-JGbxiUz1qtEzDmPGZtZScyDZ-ep7v6XoltQxPBCDaqeqoM9cnzbRwlnD1nDwZ6yk/s1600/4.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ooooo finally a polish in a colour that I love. There were far too many reds that I received in the past and I don't even like red.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This ncLA - Nail Lacquer in the shade, 'Like.... Totally Valley Girl' costs £13 and is their best selling shade. It's also free from toxins too. I've not heard of this brand before so it's a chance to discover something new. Love the shade name. It reminds me of Clueless of Sweet Valley High!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've not tried many Essence products before so this Lash Princess Volume Mascara will be perfect for me to try out the brand. I love the name of the product as I want princess lashes. This has a cobra head shaped wand to create length and volume which is what I look for in a mascara. It costs £3.30 which is a bargain price.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSvXBaDqiampvrCqaTBoCPWLpFthYuRFcgD3weJ-zwsQta8Di2pp1-IRYN6vVHy45byQU-MoEFZUUQVILEpg8aqZDdot9YipuYkTklqL0zmjR8WnflBn6pIL6EVBP1bBjyZcpDZBRtvY/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSvXBaDqiampvrCqaTBoCPWLpFthYuRFcgD3weJ-zwsQta8Di2pp1-IRYN6vVHy45byQU-MoEFZUUQVILEpg8aqZDdot9YipuYkTklqL0zmjR8WnflBn6pIL6EVBP1bBjyZcpDZBRtvY/s1600/7.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My lips have been so chapped just recently. I have tonnes of lipbalms and glosses but none that seem to be doing the job of nourishing and caring. Sigh. I love Carmex and I've not tried one of these Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balms before. I like how it gives a berry sheer tint to it too. Hopefully the Vitamin E and Aloe will make my lip in tip top condition. This is more expensive than their other lipbalms and comes in at £4.49.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKpMiZ3lXMIwVsSb9YKjtgUgRqqo7T2kCU7rEqBkfUhFfHQqdIrjyVdHU83LosrJu7NR2XpR1J3ZoYArOUqQnahbEYYxtKfe8kWMvePsVr5EtSZ33PvR443QlXIVaLZyeQraKQ1Or7mJc/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKpMiZ3lXMIwVsSb9YKjtgUgRqqo7T2kCU7rEqBkfUhFfHQqdIrjyVdHU83LosrJu7NR2XpR1J3ZoYArOUqQnahbEYYxtKfe8kWMvePsVr5EtSZ33PvR443QlXIVaLZyeQraKQ1Or7mJc/s1600/8.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I have a NAOBAY - Moisturizing Peeling is essentially an exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and to brighten your complexion. At first I thought it was going to be one of those peel off face masks that my mum used to have when I was a little girl. I was feeling the nostalgia and then I realised it wasn't. Oh! This is a full sized product and costs £13.71. It looks like the sort of product you would see in a spa with the crisp whiteness and wood effect. It's from a Spanish brand and is marketed as an organic peeling milk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's my Glossybox for March.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourites this month are the Carmex, Mascara and pink nail polish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What did you get in yours?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.vivabox.co.uk/home_uk.asp" target="_blank">Vivabox</a> is a perfume sample box with a twist. You try out seven well known perfumes, choose your favourite scent and then use the enclosed voucher inside the box to exchange it for a full sized perfume at The Perfume Shop. The box costs £37.99 plus £3.99 for postage and packaging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think that these are a great idea to test out perfumes that you haven't tried before or to send or receive as a gift when someone doesn't know what perfume you like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfumes can be hard to buy for people unless you know them really well as they are so different and suit different personalities. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have quite a few favourite perfumes and have a collection of samples already from various beauty boxes so I regularly wear a variety of perfumes. This is a really great way of knowing what scents wear well and discovering new ones that I may not have tried before. When trying these, I used a different sample perfume each day to get an idea if I liked it or not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Di-ZtL-VhTpFI3avRe_Oz5zyySsOmID02wKC18STTUWPzA35gniun0r4bwlRIsLEwgTH_22cp1c75ZwGrMFOZApr-oBdjWlNylqrryzjNdcjnQzIkv5XKCzZY-FtNp7fLj1ZKKm7yWY/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Di-ZtL-VhTpFI3avRe_Oz5zyySsOmID02wKC18STTUWPzA35gniun0r4bwlRIsLEwgTH_22cp1c75ZwGrMFOZApr-oBdjWlNylqrryzjNdcjnQzIkv5XKCzZY-FtNp7fLj1ZKKm7yWY/s1600/2.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The seven different perfume samples that are contained in the box are;<br />
<br />
<b>Hugo Boss - Boss Ma Vie Pour Femme EDP</b> "A fresh green feminine scent that wraps you in a floral blanket of freesia and rose."<br />
<br />
<b>I say;</b><br />
The little vial is hard to open as it's one of the old style ones that you have to pull off the lid and it contains a plastic stick which you use to dab to your pulse points. I have tried this perfume before and I would wear it on a night out. It reminds me of sophistication and is feminine. If I trade my voucher for this one I would receive a 30ml EDP (Eau De Parfum.) I like it but I don't absolutely love it.<br />
<br />
<b>Caroline Herrera 212 VIP EDP</b> "Are you on the VIP list? This explosion of bergamot, vanilla and musk is full of attitude."<br />
<br />
<b>I say;</b><br />
This is too strong for me and has a kick of sweetness. By looking at the notes contained in this I would have thought I liked it but sadly not. It must be the musk and gardenia that is too much for me. It makes me pull a face! I could have swapped the voucher for a 30ml EDP but I won't be doing for this one.<br />
<br />
<b>Jimmy Choo- Jimmy Choo EDP </b>"A modern fruity chypre with sensual sweet toffee at its base."<br />
<br />
<b>I say;</b><br />
I didn't even know what chypre meant so I went off to Google it. It means that it belongs to a family of perfumes with citrus top notes. This has a strong fragrance which is also sweet. It lasts a long time but it's one that don't want to keep on smelling. Again this is just not me. It's too grown up and even though I could get a 40ml EDP, I won't be using my voucher for this one either.<br />
<br />
<b>Nina- Nina Ricci EDT </b>" An enchanting floral with mouthwatering notes of red toffee apple, praline, vanilla and citrus. Simply magical."<br />
<br />
<b>I say;</b><br />
Nina Ricci was the first perfume that I bought with my Birthday money when I was thirteen years old. This perfume is therefore nostalgic to me and when I sprayed this it took me back to when I originally had. I remember it being a green bottle with a pink lid and I liked it so much that I didn't want to use it in case it ran out! I can use my voucher for a 50ml EDT of this and I'm thinking of getting it. I really like it now as much as I did back then.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Paco Rabanne Black XS EDT</b> " A sensual mix of cranberries, black violet and vanilla- this is for girls who like to bend the rules."<br />
<br />
<b>I say;</b><br />
Again , not for me. It's too strong and doesn't match my personality at all. I could have used the voucher for a 50ml Eau De Toilette but I won't be doing for this one.<br />
<br />
<b>Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy EDP</b> "Feeling flirty? Try an enticing floral gourmand scent containing juicy notes of mandarin, wild berry and caramel."<br />
<br />
<b>I say;</b><br />
Oh Juicy Couture you can do no wrong in my eyes. I already have the Eau De Parfum of this one and I love the scent. I can exchange for a 30ml EDP for this scent and I'm torn between getting this one or another option. Do I get this one again so that I have two of them? Mmmmm decisions decisions.<br />
<br />
<b>Kenzo- Flower By Kenzo</b> "Packed with a cornucopia of vibrant, floral notes, including parma violet, Bulgarian rose and wild hawthorn."<br />
<br />
<b>I say;</b><br />
I saw the ingredient parma violet and immediately thought of sweeties but again this scent just isn't for me. It's just not got the mixture of notes that work well for me so I won't be getting this perfume either. Too strong for my nostrils!<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I'm going to go for either the Juicy Couture or the Nina Ricci options. After searching on The Perfume Shop for the Nina Ricci it costs £39.50 for the 30ml EDT and The Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy is priced at £34.50 for 30ml EDP.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With at least four of the perfumes you are getting the equivalent value of the box for the others they are priced lower. Therefore this box is not one where you think that it's a great bargain but it's great to either get a chance to sample a few perfumes that you already had your eyes on or great to give as a gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would I purchase for myself? No as I would just go to a department store and spray the testers to see if I liked a particular scent. I might buy it as a luxury gift for someone but I think I'd just rather find out what scents they like and end up saving myself a little money too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I like receiving this as a gift? Yes I did as I thought it was exciting to have the little perfumes to test out to see if I could find a new favourite and wear a new scent every day. I have found my love again for an old favourite and confirmed my love of Juicy Couture.</div>

What a sweet little set that my mum bought me for Christmas. I absolutely love Jelly Belly's. They're one of my favourite sweeties with cinnamon being my favourite flavour. When I went to Selfridge's at the Trafford Centre in Manchester I used to get the lollipops that were a large hard candy jelly bean and loved them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The lipbalm is blue in colour and has a subtle berry scent. It applies quite waxy on the lips and lasts a good hour. It applies clear onto the lips so there's no worries about looking like you've just had a blue ice pop! The lipbalm is really smooth to apply and feels smooth on the lips also. It's fun but not one that I would rely on for chapped lips. I do have my eye on the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/More-/Gifts-for-Her/Gifts-For-Her/Jelly-Belly-Party-Pack-Lip-Balms-8-pack/p/373507#.VPb0N_msWHg" target="_blank">party pack</a> though now as I want to sniff them all.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The polish is in a dinky little bottle and upon opening I noticed that it's a very simple brush and some of the bristles were loose and wonky. It has a thin consistency but is really easy to apply onto your nails. I loved the colour more than I was actually expecting as it was vibrant and a lovely berry blue shade. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The polish does need more than one coat to be fully opaque but I just used one coat as soon as I try to apply more than one coat on my nails it just smudges no matter how long I leave it to dry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The polish has a very strong chemical smell to it but once it's dried onto the nails it has a lovely berry scent to it which lasts quite a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the things I look for in a polish is the durability and unfortunately this started to chip on the same day but as fun while it lasted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would I buy it again? Yes, to try out the different scents and because they're fun. I would prefer a pink shade next time though and maybe a vibrant orange for summer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is my Birthday and I feel special :) We're going out for Tapas soon which I've been to the place once before and it's the best food I have ever eaten. I'll have to blog about it and take photos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/" target="_blank">Models Own </a>had a half price sale and so I bought myself these polishes for my Birthday. There are so many colours to choose from and although I already own tonnes, I just had to try out some more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqvNVcyzCMUOn6TixTS0pmHwqVpPWGvxeu1ppFNFfcS5dChjs1An2ewDPpwl91lYyq58uch6nVRi5bu5xVJfuPQm5BXYjC3QZ0rEPpx3yjiaP9g0kLcYzspEYxJP5bVc63HUA882rSsq4/s1600/1010122_10152661879137045_112714989273235061_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqvNVcyzCMUOn6TixTS0pmHwqVpPWGvxeu1ppFNFfcS5dChjs1An2ewDPpwl91lYyq58uch6nVRi5bu5xVJfuPQm5BXYjC3QZ0rEPpx3yjiaP9g0kLcYzspEYxJP5bVc63HUA882rSsq4/s1600/1010122_10152661879137045_112714989273235061_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the polishes I chose. From left to right they are;</div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/colour-chrome-gold-nail-polish.html" target="_blank"><b>Colour Chrome Gold</b> </a> This is from the new collection and they all looked gorgeous. I decided to choose this gold colour as it was different from anything that I owned. The brush strokes do show up but with a second application it was much smoother.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/lilac-sheen-hypergel.html" target="_blank">Hyper Gel Lilac Sheen</a> </b>I've never tried a gel before and I loved the look of this lilac shade. It's super shiny and a gorgeous pastel shade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/bubblegum-ice-neon.html" target="_blank">Bubblegum Ice Neon</a> </b>I had a Bubblegum shade from Models Own before but the formula of it was very flaky. I decided to give this Ice Neon one a chance as I adore the neon colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/sun-hat-polish-for-tans.html" target="_blank">Polish For Tans Sunhat</a> </b>I loved the idea of this collection enhancing a tan and I love all of the colours but whittled it down to my favourite colour pink in the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/diamond-luxe-radiant-pink.html" target="_blank">Diamond Luxe Radiant Pink</a> </b>I love this shade of pink and how it has the diamond dust inside it too. The colour is very vibrant and looked much more polished with two coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/diamond-luxe-radiant-pink.html" target="_blank">Blueberry Muffin Fruit Pastel </a> </b>I love pastel colours so much and it was hard to resist all of this collection. I chose three in the end as the others were sold out at the time.. I love the shade and shine and the fact that they are scented once dried. I really wanted the coconut cream and Grape Juice and now looking again, I love the look of Apple Pie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/peach-melba-fruit-pastel.html" target="_blank">Peach Melba Fruit Pastel </a> </b>I love peachy colours and the fact that this is also scented is a winner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/strawberry-tart-fruit-pastel.html" target="_blank">Strawberry Tart Fruit Pastel</a></b><b> </b>Another pink shade to add to my collection but this time a scented pastel one. It's more of a corally pink shade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite subscription box ever, the <a href="http://www.kawaiibox.com/?gclid=CjwKEAiAmOymBRD0_evS4aTh2hUSJAB7Fkhy-AgEmusIcHuGPjSQQ-i-Hvp-b1VWtCzPfyUkPyoUNxoCDlPw_wcB" target="_blank">Kawaii Box</a> arrived the other day and I couldn't wait to open it. The box seems to be sturdier this month and that's the first detail that I noticed (that and the printed logo too.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm currrently listening to The Veronicas- You Ruin Me whilst writing this and it's fantastic yet so sad at the same time. It's one of those songs that hits your heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kawaii Box costs $18.90 per month with free shipping and comes all the way from Japan. I just love all the pieces in these boxes as they have been very well curated. They are full of girly, kawaii stationery, snacks, beauty items, keyrings and little teddies usually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's see what what I received this month.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Again it arrived with a cute card with a handwritten note 'Keep cozy & stay kawaii!' and the girly pink tissue paper.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first item I noticed were the amazing socks and the Pocky panda yum.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up are the fashion accessories. I absolutely adore these pink and yellow bow polka socks aren't they the cutest? I also received this ice cream ribbon which I will use to tie a bow into my hair. I love ice cream prints and this is just so me.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRz8GWZuXQJLb55XBd6fFD9nq8YCdzMLB7mg5WnhpBLH_gLutnmrCKjy0IkVFKWGD0sdW3n-IZBfxUIf7ar7Evl2jUSh7E9TGW_3NHjN3qNdWWBLWmGj-ebIPvdOfmGJvrwjjjWjkZ-no/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRz8GWZuXQJLb55XBd6fFD9nq8YCdzMLB7mg5WnhpBLH_gLutnmrCKjy0IkVFKWGD0sdW3n-IZBfxUIf7ar7Evl2jUSh7E9TGW_3NHjN3qNdWWBLWmGj-ebIPvdOfmGJvrwjjjWjkZ-no/s1600/6.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I have popped all of the stationery items together. I received a pencil case with three pencils, sharpener, ruler and eraser inside in blue which is sweet. I love the crown pen as it looks fit for a princess. The little book with the bow on has lots of coloured paper inside to write notes on and I received the cat post it notes too which will be handy for saving pages in recipe books.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pocky Panda. One word. Delicious!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh my gosh Alpacasso I love you! I would have a room full of these little animals if I could as they are my favourite. I think they may be on a par with my love for unicorns and that's saying something. I then received this panda charm too which is cute but I don't get crazy really over pandas and I have something similar to this too.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH94Yk0En_OyA6npbndM3BIsPxgspXG2k3IVKKYCVuth1VTrdi6DqNqMcJTpH9EdQTG_26QZnKiZKW81pUu_lD6-QhPzPrjp9Ve0yleCxxfm2IMdd9vMiejyuGD8CC5566cyFDUWINSAk/s1600/10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH94Yk0En_OyA6npbndM3BIsPxgspXG2k3IVKKYCVuth1VTrdi6DqNqMcJTpH9EdQTG_26QZnKiZKW81pUu_lD6-QhPzPrjp9Ve0yleCxxfm2IMdd9vMiejyuGD8CC5566cyFDUWINSAk/s1600/10.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I received these decorative paper pieces to be used for decorating photos, scrapbooks or albums. You get quite a lot of pieces in the one little box.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite items this month are the Alpacasso, socks, bow note book and the Pocky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a great box again this month.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My Birthday is on the 18th February so I have put together a collage of items that I love. There's so many different items that I like that I am a consumers dream. First off I have chosen the Fragrance Library by Demeter. They started off in the USA and then have been brought over and are available to buy in Boots stores. They have amazing scents which are unique and I love the thought of them. I did see another to add to the list but it was too late after I had made the collage. The one that I saw was Bubblegum scented. I'd love to smell like bubblegum all day! The scents that I have chosen sound absolutely scrumptious and I am really intrigued by the innovativeness of the brand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then chose some Tony Moly products as I love the packaging. It's absolutely adorable. I'd wear the scent through the day. I love the shade of the lilac blush and I chose the lip scrub simply because it's in the shape of lips.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to have a huge shopping spree in Primark and when I searched on their site, these were some of the pieces that are new in. Holographic is my absolute favourite and I love anything and everything with it on. The coat is multi coloured and I would wear this at the weekends. I love the mix of colours used on it as this is the perfect palette for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the uniqueness of Lime Crime. I have one lipstick already by this brand in a bright red. I would have chosen one of the above colours but I couldn't get hold of any at the time. The whole packaging, brand and products are fabulous and I love the shades of the three lipsticks that I have chosen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd love to try the Lime Crime nail polishes too and to add the blue shade alongside these ones. I love the logo and the colours are gorgeous.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Meghan Trainor's songs and fashion style so I'd love this album to listen to. My family says I'm just like her! The jeans and necklace from Primark are a lovely shade of blue and they would go with so many other items that I already own in my wardrobe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love 'I'm Your Present' shop and have bought a couple of items from their Etsy shop in the past. I love these Mermaid necklaces and I love the leggings that she makes too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always loved Opals. The colours are beautiful and so when I spotted this one, I fell in love. This one has stronger colours as it's a fire opal but I like regular opals also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up are items from Etude House which has the most kawaii packaging ever. It's like a princesses dream and I'd love to own these pretty lipsticks. The Juicycocktail nail sets are a set of three polishes in complimentary shades that you can use to create an ombre nail look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I love Disney and one of my favourite films is Beauty and The Beast. Look how beautiful the rose in the glass container is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've already bought myself the Miniaturist book as it sounded so good and I just couldn't wait. I won't be getting most of these items as they will add up to a lot but I'd love to own them all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you like anything on my wishlist?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have my Valentine's Wishlist. I don't ask my nearest and dearest for anything and so these wishlists are created for me to buy myself :) The people closest to me buy me surprises or ask me if there's anything in particular I would like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's always nice to feel loved and as I love hearts and the colour pink so much, Valentine's gift are a must-have for me as I can't resist buying myself the love overload. My Birthday is four days after Valentine's day so I could actually incorporate some of these into my Birthday wish list too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm actually getting more into neutrals as they go with everything and I love the heart jumper from Pink Boutique, especially with the over knee socks too. I think it's such a cute look. I seem to have an obsession for collecting bags lately and these three all have hearts on and that makes me want them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Shoe Bakery shoes are absolutely amazing. The craft that goes into these and the design is amazing. These would be special occasion shoes for me as I wouldn't want to ruin them. I love the grey shoes with the white heart toe as they are so versatile and the colour scheme would go with lots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anything with unicorns and I want it immediately. I've never heard of this brand before or read reviews or anything but it's made it here purely for the concept. In fact I want a Unicorn farts lipbalm and nail polish too ha ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've not tried anything from Bombs Away cosmetics before but they have Bubblegum melts and I need my house to smell of this! I have the Lush Bubblegum lip scrub but as I love Bubblegum another one wouldn't hurt would it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love nail art and these heart gems are gorgeous. They never last long on my nails but I just like having them to be honest. The last three clothing items I have chosen are my personality completely. I mix between adorable fun prints and on other days I wear a complete contrast of neutrals with added sparkle. I love the heart print coat as it looks snug and warm and the colour is just beaut. Care Bears are my new obsession. I would so wear this and I need it in my life! I thought the Love Hearts dress was unique and I would definitely wear this too. It would make life more fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I chose the terrarium necklace as it reminds me of a miniature fairy garden. The plants are real inside it and I love anything miniature and quirky like this. This particular one is also being sold for charity on Etsy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also love M&S dine in two for £20 Valentine's special which we got last year but we're going on a triple date to an Italian restaurant this year which I'm looking forward to. I've also forgotten to add pink sparkly nail polish, chocolates, lingerie and lollipops but my list would be never-ending!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Love Laura xoxo</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Saturday everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before Christmas I popped into Home Bargains and spotted this organiser for 99p and I thought it would be great to use for my blog ideas. They had two different designs and I loved this cute one straight away. I bought the other one too which was vintage style with a cat on it and I gifted that for Christmas. I thought it was a great price for a little organiser as I love bargains and I have so many different items to buy that I can't really justify a large amount of money to spend on one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the past I have typed quick notes into my phone, written in a notebook or simply stored them in my head. I have so many ideas and a full drawer of products to write up but clearly the methods I've been using have not been very effective lately as I'd like to blog more regularly. Organisation is definitely not my forte. Sometimes I get things done all at once and other times I don't do much at all. I'm really inconsistent so anything that helps me become more efficient at tasks is welcome. I love seeing inspirational Pinterest photos or Youtube videos on organisation as these make me want to follow suit and have everything tidy and with its own place. I actually have to be super organised at work as for more than half of my time I make sure that everything is perfectly positioned and looking its best in a home department.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The organiser was wrapped in plastic so it wasn't until I got home and unwrapped it that I found out what it was like inside. I have to say that I'm really impressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhIAcBbPvBL52Kyol-CiDER5v436mPQ53JHXb9SZpC7xpZ9ufkGxOy-k3pItrqbh4IptFJc1Jqh634zavDnpYXExuw0Z3mqph6bHDTipyYO3tjFBSOV7hNNnwigIxKaTPn6rb6yWBEqQE/s1600/10953952_10152639928812045_8481503601931095373_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhIAcBbPvBL52Kyol-CiDER5v436mPQ53JHXb9SZpC7xpZ9ufkGxOy-k3pItrqbh4IptFJc1Jqh634zavDnpYXExuw0Z3mqph6bHDTipyYO3tjFBSOV7hNNnwigIxKaTPn6rb6yWBEqQE/s1600/10953952_10152639928812045_8481503601931095373_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The organiser is divided up into sections that can be flipped to easily with the use of the plastic, coloured dividers. These make each part easy to find and are well organised.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqTc64f5DIGQPs0AevgBbQbn8rmLjw0dGaVGI-opC13RlFUIBj1vHnDtjP2NtIt7Rv94MIkUBEncDsextojGO1EHGgmJpENRSs7Uc7sshc45DSOLN-sscc3X2Hr4nvDjX-TQWyV20SpPc/s1600/10610490_10152639928762045_405117489808149668_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqTc64f5DIGQPs0AevgBbQbn8rmLjw0dGaVGI-opC13RlFUIBj1vHnDtjP2NtIt7Rv94MIkUBEncDsextojGO1EHGgmJpENRSs7Uc7sshc45DSOLN-sscc3X2Hr4nvDjX-TQWyV20SpPc/s1600/10610490_10152639928762045_405117489808149668_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first section has sheets with an overview of a full week which is really handy as you can see what is happening at a glance. For this part I will use to write my blog post titles so I can see what I need to publish on particular days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ1gWuU607tzVNOVZ0kns71oRb5Osah6akl-2OgIt3NrTUNvKqtwatq48FyqhAq83iSzAY5L3g0ji51-y90xogDs9GCYT3IPQ00mC6bXEKKYsFlA93WVmzG_Zd0Se7rRzCcIH6lqfO99o/s1600/10390425_10152639928667045_1657851089994563098_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ1gWuU607tzVNOVZ0kns71oRb5Osah6akl-2OgIt3NrTUNvKqtwatq48FyqhAq83iSzAY5L3g0ji51-y90xogDs9GCYT3IPQ00mC6bXEKKYsFlA93WVmzG_Zd0Se7rRzCcIH6lqfO99o/s1600/10390425_10152639928667045_1657851089994563098_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next is a section for notes which has lined paper. Here I have written all the ideas from my head that I've thought of or from products that I already have which are waiting to be tried out and then written up.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNaI3owYSp6pypOsZdp7aH8nFlTsinVpG2D3x4SssWRj67Dh8abcXy6fI1D8Kng-xDaeU5B99vHWtpEwZp8DoJOk-VOQXC0UJP09-kdtdxuYl2AHg-WVAwW_rx6LOGgk9j7DTy8RapCuU/s1600/10987404_10152639928717045_6623960713848195582_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNaI3owYSp6pypOsZdp7aH8nFlTsinVpG2D3x4SssWRj67Dh8abcXy6fI1D8Kng-xDaeU5B99vHWtpEwZp8DoJOk-VOQXC0UJP09-kdtdxuYl2AHg-WVAwW_rx6LOGgk9j7DTy8RapCuU/s1600/10987404_10152639928717045_6623960713848195582_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like this section as it's really satisfying to tick items off and see how much you've accomplished. I started writing this and thought that it was going to demotivate me as I have a huge list so I got cracking on this blog post instead. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLHUNFmVGH1FfUvY8PBbXOJwC717sQuWKsmCoPXE51W7UXRwGhmO66nTOupmXKMafKSyORglQxc7MaJBQah00YLKIXMotDK_fdzfpUCcvKobLCdXGAkssl8jrmzW2O67RxebzLBZYLbw/s1600/1549208_10152639930227045_6683826023487870160_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLHUNFmVGH1FfUvY8PBbXOJwC717sQuWKsmCoPXE51W7UXRwGhmO66nTOupmXKMafKSyORglQxc7MaJBQah00YLKIXMotDK_fdzfpUCcvKobLCdXGAkssl8jrmzW2O67RxebzLBZYLbw/s1600/1549208_10152639930227045_6683826023487870160_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last section is for addresses. I thought this would be useful to write down particular blogs that I love and for writing down the e-mail addresses of PA's that I collaborate with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's also two plastic wallets at the front and back of the organiser to store items inside. I thought about storing some kawaii stickers in there so that I can decorate or use on each time that I complete an item off my to-do list.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you plan?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love Laura xoxo</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never really owned many candles but I'm getting more into them the older I get. I love the thought of a flickering candle light whilst relaxing at night and a sweet scented house. I chose these <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bakery-Selection-Scented-Glass-Candles/dp/B009M1RN9E" target="_blank">Essence Bakery Selection candles</a> for my stocking that I received for Christmas and as soon as I saw the packaging and the names of the scents, I immediately wanted them. I'm a sucker for desserts and anything pink. These were £2.99 from B&M stores but unfortunately I cant find them on their site but I did find some for a pricier £9.99 on Amazon that I've linked to. There's also a set on Ebay too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The design of the box is open at the top so that you can smell them before you buy. The scents weren't overly strong but they did resemble the dessert and so into the basket they went. I love the whole novel idea of dessert scented candles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What I look for in a candle:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A bargain price. If a candle is too expensive, I wouldn't want to burn it for fear of it running out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A really strong scent which is enough to fill a whole room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long-lasting as I don't want it to burn for an hour and that's it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love a range of scents but most of them would either be fruity or sweet scents. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cute packaging so that they look good on display.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Out of the box the candles are contained in glass jars, which are sweet yet plain. There are no labels on the jars so you get to see the whole glow of the candle. The glass feels quite cheap too.</div>

From left to right there is; Gingerbread man, Apple & Toffee Pie, Cookies & Cream and finally Cranberry Cupcake.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I lit all four of these at once for around an hour and a half. The room was scented with the mixture of scents and whilst it was pleasant and sweet it wasn't overly strong which I was hoping for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gingerbread man has an authentic scent to it which smells good enough to eat. The Apple & Toffee Pie was the disappointment for me as it emitted a really cheap plasticy candle smell. The Cookies & Cream was yummy whilst the Cranberry Cupcake was too sweet.</div>

I love the novelty of the baking goods and would definitely buy them if I could get hold of them for the bargain price of £2.99 again but definitely not for £9.99 as I would prefer to spend that amount on a range of strong scented wax tart melts instead.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ooooo a delicious <a href="https://www.degustabox.com/en/" target="_blank">Degustabox</a>. I received December's box just over a week ago as my box was sent to someone else and they signed for it. You can track your parcel and I had never heard of the surname of the person who had signed for my box which was so disappointing. Luckily, <a href="https://www.degustabox.com/en/" target="_blank">Degustabox </a>sent another box out to me and so I got my box of foodie goodness after a longer wait than usual.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Degustabox is a monthy subscription box full of 9 to 14 products. Some of which are new to the market and the contents are meant to cost less than you would pay for them in the shops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the box arrived in perfect condition and had a Merry Christmas sticker on this time which held the brown paper together. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first items that I saw in the box were the drinks and I was really pleased to see them in there. This first bottle is Eisburg alcohol free wine which is made in exactly the same way as usual wine but with the alcohol removed. This has a third of the usual calories ans is available in Chardonnay, Rose, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These drinks would be perfect if you enjoy the taste of wine without the alcohol, if you're taking part in dry January or you simply don't want to or can't drink alcohol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Price:</b> £3.49 per bottle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What I thought:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was of great quality and I found it quite a strange concept of drinking this without there being any alcohol content. I don't tend to drink wine because I like the taste of it, I drink it because it has alcohol in it. I do prefer sweeter wines so I would like to try the Rose variety next time. I think this would be fabulous in social situations if you don't want to look or feel as though you're missing out. Although I'd be happy with a soft drink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Would I buy it again?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes I would in the different varieties for a party or get together if people were driving. These would also be fabulous if you were pregnant or on medication and couldn't drink alcohol.</div>

I know how good green tea is for you but it's just too bitter for me to drink. I want to like it as I know it would be so good for me just I just can't bring myself to drink it regularly.

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What I thought:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't really know what this product was on first glance and after reading the description card I'm more likely to try this out now. The ingredients are fantastic and will be super healthy for me. I've had Chia shots before in my Birchbox but I didn't know what to use them in so I still haven't touched them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Would I buy it again?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's expensive for 45g so maybe if I feel that I need to be super healthy then I might repurchase. I'm also inclined to repurchase if they were to taste delicious.</div>

An excellent quality box for the £12.99 that I paid. My favourite items were the Gloworm, POPCHIPS and Bonne Maman Marmalade.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've wanted to try <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/" target="_blank">Makeup Revolution</a> products for the longest time so when I had some Christmas money, I decided straight away to get some items. At the time there was a Christmas promotion whereby if you spent £25 or more on items then you got a free gift with your order. After seeing what you would get, I took full advantage of the offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/" target="_blank">Makeup Revolution </a>was launched in London in March 2014 and in that time has gained fast popularity. Their products range from as little as £1 and I have heard fantastic comments about the pigmentation of the makeup. New products are launching all the time and I already want/ need the <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/new/i-makeup-blushing-hearts-bursting-with-love.html" target="_blank">I love Makeup Blushing Hearts</a> (I adore the heart shaped packaging,) the <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/new/naked-chocolate.html" target="_blank">Naked Chocolate Palette </a> and the new <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/new/full-lip-lava-collection-buy-all-5-for-the-price-of-4.html" target="_blank">Lip Lava's. </a> Anything with cute packaging and I neeeeed it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided on three eye shadow palettes these being;</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/palettes/iconic/redemption-palette-iconic-1.html" target="_blank">Iconic 1</a> - I chose this one as it had lots of shimmer shades and I love nudes as they make my blue eyes stand out more. I loved the look of the golds in particular and can't wait to see if they are buttery and pigmented.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/palettes/iconic/redemption-palette-iconic-3.html" target="_blank">Iconic 3</a> Again this has a great mix of shimmers and mattes and what I love about this one is the more pink/ gold shades. These really remind me of the Urban Decay Palettes but for a much smaller price tag of £4 compared to £37. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/palettes/redemption-12-shades/mermaids-vs-unicorns.html" target="_blank">Mermaids vs Unicorns</a> When I heard the name of this palette, it made me want it even more! I love mermaids and I love Unicorns so great name choice. I've only actually started wearing nude colours recently whereas this palette is definitely my go to. I like wearing blues and greens so I'm leaning towards a Mermaid already. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOCvqG5xgF5nBEkWfo__sxO3MLJ-sFlolKKirdqv_tSg4YTKnNihW5bVZUHVWjlpqogQMcBlcELuez2gD7-x7Kf2rBznNXi_5XD7q5R7TWE9p5NYx_zhWfBQU5YDz-dgXmYc8UqSW0hs/s1600/10933852_10152586765642045_6849082970901924683_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOCvqG5xgF5nBEkWfo__sxO3MLJ-sFlolKKirdqv_tSg4YTKnNihW5bVZUHVWjlpqogQMcBlcELuez2gD7-x7Kf2rBznNXi_5XD7q5R7TWE9p5NYx_zhWfBQU5YDz-dgXmYc8UqSW0hs/s1600/10933852_10152586765642045_6849082970901924683_n.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the blush palette in <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/palettes/blush-and-contour-palette/ultra-blush-and-contour-palette-all-about-pink.html" target="_blank">All About The Pink </a> for £6 and it has a mixture of shimmer, matte and baked blushers. I love pink blushers and these six shades look fabulous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love lipsticks and so I decided to choose six different ones as they were an amazing £1 each.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colours I chose were;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enchant,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Magnificent</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flashing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweetheart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dazzle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mostly pink shades with a purple too as I loved the look of this shade.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhitJLQPHLMEBTCflxMONzPQYmqJLbX-PfOGn_fK-PoGxlmA5Qly328NlVf3xe9HZop83Grg3gIhtJyzomRHGcVOAh2rU6B-zso83u0ySP0DplO929VBfMZN-2yQJLvZOZUp7O9soY4tBY/s1600/532947_10152586765617045_3289856980538362567_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhitJLQPHLMEBTCflxMONzPQYmqJLbX-PfOGn_fK-PoGxlmA5Qly328NlVf3xe9HZop83Grg3gIhtJyzomRHGcVOAh2rU6B-zso83u0ySP0DplO929VBfMZN-2yQJLvZOZUp7O9soY4tBY/s1600/532947_10152586765617045_3289856980538362567_n.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the free gift that I got with my order. I wanted one of these palettes as soon as I saw them, yes purely for the pink gem heart on the front! This is the <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/heartmakeup/palettes/i-makeup-i-heart-passion.html" target="_blank">I Heart Passion palette</a> and it will look beautiful on my dressing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also included with the gift were these three <a href="http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/lips/lipgloss/lip-gloss-tube.html" target="_blank">lipglosses</a>. The vibrant pink shade looks an absolute beaut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also got this vivid blush lacquer too which is not a shade I would necessarily choose myself but it will be great to try it out and see if I suit it or not.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is supposedly blue Monday where it's the most depressing day of the year. The sun has been shining here and I have been out on a long walk with my pups so there's been nothing blue about that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a review for you on this beautiful, vintage crochet collar. I received this as a gift for Christmas off my best friend who owns the business<a href="https://www.facebook.com/lavenderskysuk?fref=nf" target="_blank"> Lavenderskys</a> and has been established since 2014. The collars retail for £6.50 + pp. Lavenderskys makes a wide range of products and my favourites are her buntings and the gorgeous pom poms!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, I absolutely adore the peach colour as I love pastels and it will co-ordinate with a wide range of clothing in my wardrobe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZfEf6SpgcMKaXGyrB8nYkIni52HBhmVYLycSrhgf_l3BiNnEYHiZ57AUlaHl77_0xMVWAG9enr7SGYFV9-WcweqNMBFxIiqTt-V4x7KhxwJ55LV9dGSEx6YsthWfJ8D1OSQ4499B2VDw/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZfEf6SpgcMKaXGyrB8nYkIni52HBhmVYLycSrhgf_l3BiNnEYHiZ57AUlaHl77_0xMVWAG9enr7SGYFV9-WcweqNMBFxIiqTt-V4x7KhxwJ55LV9dGSEx6YsthWfJ8D1OSQ4499B2VDw/s1600/7.jpg" height="640" width="514" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The collar has been expertly made and is finished off beautifully with a metallic round flat button.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It opens up so that you can fasten it into position over your chosen attire.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrehXAST1pcFGYPdWd7i4Jf-4fKfbH9G-rpXl-IAz74g43szlhIjBxSs1BfwycIW37zlUq8x69u0xkoDTmWVjPknCKbLNh7BZ4ghIxHi86aJMB9yyDEt7NW8hscMOMLd3K-chF6kgb0cw/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrehXAST1pcFGYPdWd7i4Jf-4fKfbH9G-rpXl-IAz74g43szlhIjBxSs1BfwycIW37zlUq8x69u0xkoDTmWVjPknCKbLNh7BZ4ghIxHi86aJMB9yyDEt7NW8hscMOMLd3K-chF6kgb0cw/s1600/3.jpg" height="640" width="530" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off by going through my wardrobe and choosing similar shades to pair my collar with. (It would also work beautifully with varying pastel shades but today I was in a peachy mood.) The beauty of buying a new accessory is that you can revamp older items in your wardrobe and gain a completely new look. I found that it really freshened up the clothes that I already had.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguf-gYbGi35WPEKCso4LwLGgg4xr1dp0HtNjwGxyFyKRhHJiYpg0o1rjHRmEI1OT_JKYrxPUZXCU6V7tLU_sFQxWPRGWkYDORT-Uh-1ivnZ8Z3k9eblOSuGkriooTuyyuj8-EFDMjnveQ/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguf-gYbGi35WPEKCso4LwLGgg4xr1dp0HtNjwGxyFyKRhHJiYpg0o1rjHRmEI1OT_JKYrxPUZXCU6V7tLU_sFQxWPRGWkYDORT-Uh-1ivnZ8Z3k9eblOSuGkriooTuyyuj8-EFDMjnveQ/s1600/4.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I predominantly chose shirts for pairing the collar as when I looked at the piece I thought of warm Spring sunshine but I'm also going to wear it with dresses and jumpers too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the frilly edge that this collar gives to the shirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQxW-gu_A4iComA_RDNfvjvWY7nR_w9Q0zjF5pLYBghyphenhyphenXuAG2FJZfKCqCHU1NI-rR1htLrAR7YUP7xjDrUbBr-EhmB3ArmqZBCfY4tcv-KDPTQdXSVAXm0lPu_c04kCaVHTKYV64lQnU/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQxW-gu_A4iComA_RDNfvjvWY7nR_w9Q0zjF5pLYBghyphenhyphenXuAG2FJZfKCqCHU1NI-rR1htLrAR7YUP7xjDrUbBr-EhmB3ArmqZBCfY4tcv-KDPTQdXSVAXm0lPu_c04kCaVHTKYV64lQnU/s1600/6.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think that this one goes really well with the collar as the vertical panel is a similar shade and the addition of the collar makes it look vintagey. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I've paired the peach with coral and think it works really well.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon laying my eyes on <a href="http://www.mrshericksshakes.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>Mr Sherick's shakes</b></a> I just knew that they were going to be something special. Do you ever get that feeling? Well I certainly wasn't wrong. I was over the moon to win a selection from a competition that the lovely people were running through their Twitter page and couldn't wait to try them.... nearly all at once it seems. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore anything to do with shakes, diners and parlours and would love to actually work in one sampling, designing and creating a pastel parlour full of cupcakes and shakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What the company says:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Mr Sherick, Making Milkshake Magic.........</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mr Sherick and his chefs have spent many hours in their wondrous kitchens, crafting a range of tempting, luscious luxury treats with something special and unexpected- designed to make your taste buds tingle!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each bottle is crammed full of fresh British milk, mixed with the finest ethically sourced ingredients, made extraordinary with exciting bursts of flavour and texture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a huge amount of passion and a little bit of magic, Mr Sherick is creating heaven in a bottle."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love the use of alliteration and the description of the metaphor for these shakes. Their website is fabulous too how the ingredients are cascading down. Check it out <a href="http://www.mrshericksshakes.co.uk/" target="_blank">here.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The milkshakes aarrivedincredibly fresh in a branded cool bag with gel icing pack to keep them cold. I needed to pop them straight into the fridge to maintain the coolness of them and ensure that the products didn't turn sour with the heat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaUw4ywmG6hTWdtokTfoW0r7lzAdibRKXxIBL9B_2x8QFVovLrdlLmO2g_0UxJ-kAsBT_ePDyyat1NlwcSow-cYLgiAHJpKs3VKnmRyKxqSI_dD9itogcjt7ERBHrbY-U1NIeAgD6Z2GE/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaUw4ywmG6hTWdtokTfoW0r7lzAdibRKXxIBL9B_2x8QFVovLrdlLmO2g_0UxJ-kAsBT_ePDyyat1NlwcSow-cYLgiAHJpKs3VKnmRyKxqSI_dD9itogcjt7ERBHrbY-U1NIeAgD6Z2GE/s1600/2.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I received one of each flavour to try and got my pink stripy straws and Kilner jars out ready to make the experience even more indulgent. I only managed this with one shake though as the rest were drunk straight from the bottle as I couldn't wait! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From left to right there is:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Strawberry Pavlova</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Indulgent milkshake blended with natural strawberry juice and pulp to deliver a genuine strawberry flavour. With meringue pieces throughout it's a little bit of summer luxury in a bottle."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has a luxurious, creamy texture and a genuine strawberry taste. The meringue pieces are soft but add depth and even though it seems to be a small bottle, they surprising fill you up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A Hint Of Mint</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Rich decadent chocolate milkshake made with real cocoa mass... only this time with soft mint chocolate chips throughout. A luxury mint sensation. It's mintalicious!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mint adds a perfect hit and breaks up the chocolate. They have got just the right amount and the chocolate is of exceptional quality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Pot Au Choc</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Rich decadent chocolate milkshake made with real cocoa mass and soft Belgian chocolate chips throughout. It's total chocolate heaven."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This milkshake had the thickest texture and was the most filling. Again the Belgian chocolate and ingredients used are the best.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Cookies & Cream</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Creamy vanilla milkshake brimming with gorgeous cookie pieces and Belgian chocolate chips. Indulgence that takes the biscuit!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If had to choose just one to be my favourite then Cookies and Cream would win. It was expertly creamy with just the right amount of soft cookie pieces. The blend of the vanilla and cookie was outstandingly scrumptious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Softly Banoffee</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Lush banana milkshake mixed with a luxury toffee sauce and soft toffee pieces. Sweet mellow yellow delight!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the addition of the toffee sauce and pieces in this banana milshake as it gave it another dimension. It was absolutely delicious and moreish and I would definitely buy this even though banana milkshake was not one of my favourites beforehand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPEaBg9e28uB5ALI2OzYMJD6V4TKk5iLCfgAUCsADFq2HcoN8c7vQ004ArM6mHoteamiJEhJqUXPY-owCVmT5XZzfchejtvUoG1uNWQzqFaQbPo7jrfsGwccXOf0orNiW00tgLJssgmQA/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPEaBg9e28uB5ALI2OzYMJD6V4TKk5iLCfgAUCsADFq2HcoN8c7vQ004ArM6mHoteamiJEhJqUXPY-owCVmT5XZzfchejtvUoG1uNWQzqFaQbPo7jrfsGwccXOf0orNiW00tgLJssgmQA/s1600/3.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So where can you buy these amazing milkshakes? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well they are available in Booths' , Waitrose, London food halls (Harrod's, Selfridge's and Partridge's) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would love to see them available to buy online too so that they are even more accessible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Outcome:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the best milkshakes I have ever tasted in my life and if I was to see these on a shelf I would buy them without hesitation. They are divine. Don't let the small bottles fool you as they fill you up and have exceptional ingredients contained inside that make the bottle last longer than a watery thinner counterpart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh Mr Sherick's how I love you! (Goes off to dream of the shakes that have all been consumed!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love Laura xoxo</div>

<br />
I'm always delighted when my <a href="http://www.kawaiibox.com/" target="_blank">KawaiiBox</a> makes its way to me through the post. If you haven't seen my previous unboxings and reviews then KawaiiBox is a monthly subscription box which is filled with Japanese and Korean Kawaii goodies. It costs $18.90 per month and ships for free worldwide.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today I have my January KawaiiBox to unbox and review for you. As soon as I lifted off the pink tissue paper I was delighted straight away with all of the goodies that I saw. The box has been carefully thought out so that there are a mixture of products and I feel that it is extremely good value for the price. This one has to be my favourite subscription box as it's me in a box!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are all of the items that I received in the box and so many items were squeezed into this month's collection. I love every single piece again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see there are a mixture of plushies, stationery items and beauty accessories this month.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to seeing what foodie treat I will receive in the box and this month's are the two packs of Rilakkuma biscuits! I love Rilakkuma as he is adorable. It's great to see branded items in the box and I can't wait to try the little bear shaped biscuits.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've popped all of the accessories together this month. I am in love with the lilac mermaid shell bracelet as that is just me down to a tee. I absolutely love mermaids and pastels and don't have many items in lilac so this is perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've seen the Hello Kitty glasses before and these are lens free for looking cute in. The little coin purse is sweet and I love how they've included a nail polish this month as I love beauty items. The shade is perfect for me too as I love brights and this coral shade will add some much needed sunshine in this Winter weather that we're having.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-j-iu93sYjpCKOvM1r7LgExgyYhOHPWmbWy8JvjR0wXvEtH8yCuXXjYtv-igA4UEDFVnbF1yBEUCKMYoVLXBAwcqV6TYrB1xhAog0JMfcRbkMXij9zEVr5J-YgzVvlFiBUs5C7fmZsZ0/s1600/10924769_10152586777372045_3011714507703943431_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-j-iu93sYjpCKOvM1r7LgExgyYhOHPWmbWy8JvjR0wXvEtH8yCuXXjYtv-igA4UEDFVnbF1yBEUCKMYoVLXBAwcqV6TYrB1xhAog0JMfcRbkMXij9zEVr5J-YgzVvlFiBUs5C7fmZsZ0/s1600/10924769_10152586777372045_3011714507703943431_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up next are the stationery items which I received three of in this month's box. The cute little pen will come in handy for every day use or for writing blog ideas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look how cute the 3d puffy animal stickers are. I need to decorate something with these. Maybe make a blogging scrapbook as that would look fab. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then finally for the stationary items I received this fun stamp set which is fun to use for decorating plain papers or envelopes or for letters and invitations. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH3EBWsKTERB9W7SGQuCeX4BLJzZittqE0DU4XeSzx8c9_JbomQ0EVlVmI7T5D1HyyJ64GcRos6ltqF7DyuJFkigdEy0AIz3-kZa0W4Rt0rHxtEDIkfVgMOApwuLxYMvRaVQAeH_DzxE4/s1600/10931342_10152586777377045_4150808560541061368_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH3EBWsKTERB9W7SGQuCeX4BLJzZittqE0DU4XeSzx8c9_JbomQ0EVlVmI7T5D1HyyJ64GcRos6ltqF7DyuJFkigdEy0AIz3-kZa0W4Rt0rHxtEDIkfVgMOApwuLxYMvRaVQAeH_DzxE4/s1600/10931342_10152586777377045_4150808560541061368_n.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I received a plushie and two mobile accessory charms. The first item I saw when opening the box was this strawberry cake roll plushie and this is my favourite item out of the whole box. Look at her little arms and legs! The charm one in the middle doubles up as a mirror which is very handy and I love the design. The last one is a squishee and as soon as I see them I give them a great big squeeze! He's like a little round marshmallow that makes you feel good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So that's my January 2015 KawaiiBox review. I can't wait to see what is in my February box and in the meantime I need to put good use to all of these products rather than just storing them up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's your favourite item in the box?</div>
<br />

Hello Glitter Rays!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glossybox</a> just arrived and I was excited to open my box of beauty. I almost cancelled my subscription for a number of reasons being that I have too many products, last January's box wasn't very good and I wanted to cut out one box. As you can clearly see my finger didn't press unsubscribe and here is my box. I'm so glad that I decided to keep it as this month is a fab one. It contains five full sized products and I've not tried any of the items before so it's all new to me.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I received a card this month with the details of the products and the price lists. ( Mine was missing last month.) I'm glad they have gone back to including an information card as I don't always see my e-mail from them and therefore just miss all the product details completely.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This month there's a wide variety of products and I love how there's much more concentration on make up this month (my favourite.) It all looks so pretty with all the pinkness going on.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love <a href="https://jellypongpong.com/home/19-all-over-glow.html" target="_blank">Jelly Pong Pong</a> but I'm confused as I'm not sure whether it's turned into So Susan or whether it's just their sister brand. I've had lots of their cosmetics over the past five years or so but never tried this <a href="https://jellypongpong.com/home/19-all-over-glow.html" target="_blank">All Over Glow</a> which retails for £10. I love their packaging and the scent of their products too. I prefer to buy them as a deal at the Clothes Show Live as I feel that their products are rather on the high side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"This brightening gel is great for problem skin (as it's oil free) and is packed with micronized pearlescent pigments that catch the light, highlighting the face for a radiant glow that doesn't look glittery."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glossybox says: "Dab along cheek and brow bones using your ring finger then switch to a small brush to blend."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say- So this should be great as a highlighter and I can't wait to see the results.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrkiP0MKP_29ID1w5L0Tl5n55lQpeZxvQGm64v3lsOqDgIutYo6tlA9qDVT8DKi6EsODfojeBzjE-pt50WmGYsUDXslPfVGF4hI6YJZ0EOi2HnSgJdeJ9y8TyO4bkBxXgF59Ikr4t8wd0/s1600/1510459_10152592457187045_7090398478886951313_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrkiP0MKP_29ID1w5L0Tl5n55lQpeZxvQGm64v3lsOqDgIutYo6tlA9qDVT8DKi6EsODfojeBzjE-pt50WmGYsUDXslPfVGF4hI6YJZ0EOi2HnSgJdeJ9y8TyO4bkBxXgF59Ikr4t8wd0/s1600/1510459_10152592457187045_7090398478886951313_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love lip balms and especially in this weather I am desperately needing one that is extremely effective in soothing and preventing chapped lips. This one is <a href="http://www.nakedlips.eu/" target="_blank">Naked Lips - Organic Lip Balm</a> in Superfruits and retails for five euros. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Some balms taste a little waxy for our liking but this 100% natural formula is sweet tasting, packed full of oils from some of the world's most anti-oxidant rich fruits snf berries and leaves lips nourished and subtly sheeny."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glossybox says: " For super smooth lips buff away dry skin with the end of a soft, wet tooth brush and then slick with balm."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say- It smells sweet and natural and nourished my lips straight away.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVdBtqX8cHL2_9QB4k_0vDVQOm06vl8bCsHcUcTaNC7HnzJ_pcAPGkgI3X4Cxqx7gYm8VIcOHSH23qmtwEzi7Psk-ClOmvgpG2b2Dvj5F3jY2jlWJDG34Fx08AW9uEjJRVWiqnLk710uY/s1600/10420141_10152592457762045_9188342311017381670_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVdBtqX8cHL2_9QB4k_0vDVQOm06vl8bCsHcUcTaNC7HnzJ_pcAPGkgI3X4Cxqx7gYm8VIcOHSH23qmtwEzi7Psk-ClOmvgpG2b2Dvj5F3jY2jlWJDG34Fx08AW9uEjJRVWiqnLk710uY/s1600/10420141_10152592457762045_9188342311017381670_n.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nicka KK New York- Colorluxe Powder Blush 8.95 euros.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Say hello to loose powder blush without the mess. Packed in a faux metal pot complete with a soft, powder puff applicator, this blush is easy to apply and won't cause a powder explosion at the bottom of your handbag."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glossybox says: " Apply blush to the cheek bones rather than lower down on the apples of the cheeks in order to quickly lift the face (the pop of colour will also draw attention to your eyes)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say- I have the shade Romantic and I hope it compliments my skin tone. I recommend to blend blusher well. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik5V3H0Mlja_neK9EnMLJ27gEp-p2wY4o6-KS8DpzeLDNQsp9rz7bR2h8a_nWJIUt9pOQQuJtCDEChTpRCOoKE1_rlLeB5Dt2anfY1sxEl4EfTnuamR_FZ3ZTweToHKuZXBmhdeOiZXWQ/s1600/10544395_10152592457757045_5802269645417881685_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik5V3H0Mlja_neK9EnMLJ27gEp-p2wY4o6-KS8DpzeLDNQsp9rz7bR2h8a_nWJIUt9pOQQuJtCDEChTpRCOoKE1_rlLeB5Dt2anfY1sxEl4EfTnuamR_FZ3ZTweToHKuZXBmhdeOiZXWQ/s1600/10544395_10152592457757045_5802269645417881685_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kueshi Natural & Pleasant Cosmetics- Revitalizing Face Toner 10.70 Euros.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"This toner contains a soothing blend of calendula, chamomile and aloe vera to calm and rehydrate skin."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glossybox says: " Saturate a cotton pad with toner then sweep it over cleaned skin before applying your usual serum and/or moisturiser on top."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say: The ingredients in this are very calming and should be great to tone my face with.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgatzT3KOUKS7k7B19-k6B7qghM9e8P9mX_tsMuMeQYOGSgvLPOlXBWhW37EF73iSZljCvs4Th_GlKI9G8-DzdondmjKNXEQ9iNuAMfQ7iIUtVTfURusYCcFesNN5atqZi4kN_C-Zim8xI/s1600/10917128_10152592457752045_2568303364573839849_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgatzT3KOUKS7k7B19-k6B7qghM9e8P9mX_tsMuMeQYOGSgvLPOlXBWhW37EF73iSZljCvs4Th_GlKI9G8-DzdondmjKNXEQ9iNuAMfQ7iIUtVTfURusYCcFesNN5atqZi4kN_C-Zim8xI/s1600/10917128_10152592457752045_2568303364573839849_n.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I received a MeMeMe Eye Liner Pencil in Clay which retails for £4.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
" This British born brand has created the perfect eye-pencil: long-lasting but extra soft so it easily glides along the lashes without pulling at skin. We picked this clay shade because it suits all eye colours and is a day-to-night staple."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glossybox says: " Line inside the lash line (also known as the water line) and smudge beneath lashes for a sexy worn-in feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say- I love soft eye liners and will get good use out of this. I've not had this particular shade before but it will be great for an every day wear. I tend to put it just underneath my lash line as putting it on my water line makes my eyes water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So a much improved Glossybox this month. What a way to start the year with five full sized products! I will use every one of them too which is brilliant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite items are the lip balm , eyeliner and the highlighter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think of this month's box?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
