#TreatTuesday

It's Tuesday. Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday. As much as Tuesday may try hard to be the best day of the week, it usually let's us down.

My theory is Monday is horrific - long week at work, first early morning of the week, manic Monday etc. Wednesday is when it starts to get good - middle of the week/almost the end/must-get-through-today-then-I-can-see-happiness, Orange Wednesday's, your into the swing of things and generally less moaning is occurring. Meanwhile, poor old Tuesday is stuck between the worst day ever (Monday) and there is light at the end of the tunnel day (Wednesday), meaning Tuesday tends to just be a blur...

To help Tuesday to become a better day in my week, I tend to buy things. Nothing too fancy, just some little treats to brighten up a 'meh, Tuesday' kinda day. This has now led to me calling Tuesday 'Treat Tuesday' to which I will show you today's treats and urge you to treat yourself next Tuesday and let me know what you bought!  


2 x Malteaster Bunnies
One for me and one for my boyfriend, who has very kindly been giving me lifts and picking me up from work whilst I buy a new car. If you haven't had a Malteaster Bunny then 'sacre bleu!' which loosely translated in French means 'Are you freeking joking me?! You crazy mother trucker, these babies are the bombville!'

Kate Moss for Rimmel No 107
Heard tremendous things about this lipstick and it keeps selling out everywhere, which must be a sign that it's how the french say 'tres bon'. You've probably seen this everywhere already, but i'll put a snap up when I don't look so haggered

Real Techniques Stippling Brush
Wanted this for a while as heard good things also. One of my friends just told me she has it too and her makeup always looks gorgeous, so I am excited to test this one out!

I did actually buy a deodorant too, as it was 85p or something in Boots for Sure deodorants today. This kind of planning ahead/everyday essentials bargain helps to justify 'Treat Tuesday'...ish.

Let me know if I have convinced you and if you share a love of Malteaster bunnies too!

(Please note: The french translations in this post may not be accurate. I never really grasped French in school)

Christmas gifts

I've been enjoying reading what everyone got off the big man in red this Christmas, aren't we all spoilt! So, I thought I would share some snaps of what I received this Christmas, so I can look back and remember how lucky I am to have all these amazing people in my life, who also have amazing taste in gifts ;) (some of my photos are a little dark because I took them at night - not my best idea so far I know)


I got these cute lights from Wilkinsons - Kardashian top from DP - River Island earrings (I think they are the kids range which means they are only a few pounds!) - Lindt snowman & bear - Benefit Erase Paste - A romantic card from my boyfriend with a note saying tickets to The Brits! Eeeek! - A new book, which is good so far - Gorgeous bracelets on top of a thank you card - Last is the tag on my 'gifts from santa' (very similar handwriting to my mum...)

I didn't get this Chocolate log as a gift, I just ate it on xmas day and thought I would share! My aunty made it and it was soooo yummy - My dad now works in London & got us all a 'I Love London' tee - Hotel Chocolat chocs - A gorgeous Mac nude lipstick & red Topshop Lipstick - Funky tights - A big & little Fiorelli handbag - More chocolate!! - 1001 cocktail book, Topshop chain belt, Topshop nail varnish & lipstick and the most amazing hairbrush...Tangle Teezer!

Because Dior should always have the spotlight, here is the beautiful gift I got from my boyfriends family (well i'm sure his mum picked it). I haven't actually used the bronzer yet because its so pretty I don't want to, but I will do a review soon!

There we have it! Give or take, this is what I got for Christmas off all my gorgeous family and friends. I had a really lovely day and have been well and truly enjoying a break from work. Hope you all had a magical Christmas, leave links for your Christmas posts for me. Wishing you a positive and successful 2013!
