September Glossy box!!

Hi Guys,

Just got my Glossy Box and I have to say I am so disappointed with it!! Honestly when I first seen it I was in love with the box its so different so colorful but when I opened the box it was like " oh looks very empty".

I liked the Rodial samples as I was looking at their skin care a few weeks now so I'm happy to try that out, but that's about it! Oh and the Lady Gaga perfume can't wait to try that:)

So anyway....in this months box is:

Lady Gaga - perfume
Rodial - Snake Serum and 5min Facial
Balance Me - Wonder Eye Cream
Olay - Wrinkle Relaxing Complexion
Biosilk - Silk Therapy

Will let you know what my reviews are soon, take care and have a lovely weekend :)

Book Signing!!

Hi Guys,

While in town yesterday the lady in the Celtic Football Shop gave me two tickets for the Neil Lennon book signing today! For those of you who don't know who Neil Lennon is, he is the manager of the Celtic Football team in Glasgow.

My son loves Celtic so I couldn't really say no :) we queued for 3 hours my feet were killing me but I didn't mind because I know he loves the team and he was so excited to go meet Neil he was such a lovely and polite man, We got a book signed and a photo with Neil to, its already framed and in its place with the rest of the Celtic things he has :) I'm not going to post the photo with my son in it, I don't want his photo on here ( not that I don't love him just for a bit privacy for him )

Haul!!:)

Hi Guys,

I should be banned from going into Boots on my own lol I can never resist the 3 for 2 offer they have. I just realized that I never put in a photo of the 2 hair dye boxes, I got dark golden blond.

I have had an other break out!! I'm losing count of how many spots I have now. I buy a cream and it works on one spot then the next time I use it, it's just useless! So I went to my chemist who makes everything from soaps, creams to medicine. He's fantastic! He gave me a cream to use twice a day and a medicine to take twice a day also, so fingers crossed this is the last you hear of any break outs:)

Anyway... In Boots I got 2 which hazel and tea tree face masks, eye cream, concealer, skin vitamins, rose extract face toner, a leave in conditioner for my self and one for my son and a deodorant.

Weight In!!

Hi Guys,

Sorry this post is last but I had workers in my apartment the past few days and with starting my class I just didn't get a chance to weigh my self or post anything.

This week I am down a pound :)) pretty happy with myself. You know what they " Slow and steady wins the race" once I'm down I'm happy even if it was a half pound I'd be happy.

Penny's Bag!!

Hi Guys,

So in a post I did about my penny's haul I showed a photo of a bag I got along with the cardigans!
I used the bag tonight going to mass ( a remembrance mass for my dads mother ) I got so many people telling me how great the bag looked and that it didn't look like a bag that was from penny's!

So any way... I was walking up the road on my way home from the mass on my phone minding my own little business and a man tips me on the shoulder to tell me that my bag had falling off!!!!
I turn round to find my bag in the middle of the path a few feet back!!

Thankfully that man was sweet enough to tell me about my bag and not run off with it! :)

I'm pretty mad that the bag broke, it looks like the stitching came apart from the strap that was attaching it to the bag. I'm going to bring the bag back to penny's and see will the change it as I don't have the receipt!

Dress Making!!

Hi Guys,

So on Tuesday I start my Dress Making course Yay... I'm so excited :) I have wanted to do a dress making course for a few months now and finally found one that does a 10 week course and is in the hours that suit me, so I can still leave my son to school and collect him.

The main reason why I want to do this class is so I can take up trousers that I bought months ago that are far to long for my ting legs! I'm only 5'1" and my leg length is 26" most places don't do such a short length, so taking this class will be great for helping me take an inch or two off if I need to :)

Take Care and Have A Great Weekend!

Winter Nail Polish!

Hi Guys,

Just sharing a few colors that I think would be nice for winter! I love nail varnish for winter time I think it really helps to bring an outfit together or spice it up like if you decide to pick a shade that completely clashes with your outfit style and color.

Penny's/Primark Haul!!

Hi Guys,

I picked up a few small things in Penny's the other day and thought that I'd share what I got:)

I'd be hearing great things about the candles from Penny's, so I picked two up and I have to say OMG!! They smell so yummy it's Bye Bye Yankee Candles! Hello Opia Candles:) Now there's not a huge selection of candle in the Penny's I go to but the one I got were lovely.

I also got two over sized cardigans, a white 3/4 length sleeve top, a black across body bag, a scarf and some shoes.

Have a great Weekend :)

Boots Haul!!

Hi Guys,

I meant to post this haul when I did my No7 Foundation post but completely forgot all about it till now. The day after I got my new No7 Foundation I went back to Boots to get cream for the break out I was having.

I found a great spot cream ( Boots Brand ) and a Which Hazel face mask, I also got some dry shampoo and face cream.

Loved the face mask it was so soothing on my face as the spots I got where very sore and hadn't came to a head yet, then I applied the spot fighting cream and in two days they had gone down immensely.

Contour Magic!!

Hi Guys,

If your like myself and have bobble jaws ( round chubby cheeks ha ) then contouring will help them seam a little bit more defined and make your features stand out in the places you contour.

I don't contour as much in the day I mainly do it when I'm going to party's or out for dinner things like that. Over the past few months I have learned that Contouring with cream foundations is a lot more easier then with powders but if you prefer powder then stick with that it's what ever suits you and makes you happy :)

You can almost contour any part of you, give it a try and see how you like it!

Use By!!

Hi Guys,

I was cleaning out all my make up and I didn't know what I could keep or what was gone off or dried up what ever you call it :)

So with the magic of Google I found a photo with the info I was looking for and thought I'd share it with you just incase someone is in the same both as myself!

Pink Lippy!!

Hi Guys,

I just found this photo on line and fell in love with the it ( the lippy not the super model lol ) I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could find this shade of lipstick?!
And would it be okay to wear to a wedding?

Thanks so much :*

Penny's / Primark!!

Hi Guys,

I was flicking by some photos on the Penny's/Primark Facebook page and seen this photo!

I have to say I'm not a fan of blouse/shirts ( on myself I mean ) but I really like this outfit, with the pop of color from the shoes I think it makes a cute summer to fall kinda look. I'll be on the hurt for these the next time I'm in town shopping :)

Downer!!! :(

No matter what the scale tells you when you step on always step off with a smile on your face :)

Face In A Hurry!

Hi Guys,

Nearly every morning I'm in to much of a hurry to do much with my make up, even on the weekends it's pretty much the same unless I'm going out which is only once in a blue moon :)

It's really a barely there look when it comes to my face routine I'm a foundation, concealer and mascara look kinda gal :) lol I put my makeup on while my son is brushing his teeth or washing his face in the morning this way I can keep an eye on him an save time also.

With my face and creams on I put in foundation ( using No7 at the mo and loving it ), some concealer, blush and then mascara. That's my whole face done and I'm out the door I don't reapply my make up during the day of it smudges or wears off I don't really mind I'm using to busy running in parks or playing football in mud to notice lol

Wonky Weigh In :)

Hi Guys,

I'm was so cuffed with myself for sticking out a whole week exercising and eating right :)

I did the Jillian Michael's DVD 3 times and my exercise bike 6 times for 30 min every time. I felt so good after words but as always things never go smoothly with me!

This morning when I went to weight myself I was up 1lb!!! I was so shocked till I realized that I had a little visitor!! I usually gain about 3lbs when Mother Nature or Aunt Flow as I call it decides to show her little face so with being up just one, made me think that maybe I lost 2lbs and that's why I'm only up 1lb! If that makes any sense haha but I am still pretty happy with my weight this morning :)

Anyway this week I'm going to add in a 30 min walk not a fast walk just a quick stroll lol and take away the bike just to mix it up so I don't get board with what I'm doing.

No7 Foundation!

Hi Guys,

I went and got my True Match Test thingy done today! It was so easy and quick all they do is place a small hand held device on your jaw line and it takes photos using a camera and lights... an hey presto your True Shade is reviled!

The lady said I was in between two shades, the lightest one- which is Calico ( great for us Irish Fair skin girls ) and Cool Vanilla which is also very pale. I went for the Cool Vanilla one and it's a pretty good match I'm really happy with it. I got the Stay Perfect Foundation that has a medium coverage and an SPF of 15. I have never used a No7 foundation or even any of their products so it's a first for me and so far it's a thumps up :)

If you think your using the wrong shade of foundation you should go to the No7 counter at your local Boots and give it a go, it only takes a min to get the perfect shade :)

iPhone apps!!

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd post a pic of some of the apps I use on my phone while out walking or in the house!

I mainly use the walking pedometer apps and a music one, I hate having to many apps that I don't use they just waste space on your phone! Im trying to get into running but I want to wait till I have slimmed down a bit, I don't need to be getting an applause from my butt cheeks every time I run haha

First Proper Workout!

Hi Guys,

So today I did ( finally ) get around to working out! It's been so long over due!

after I dropped my son to school ( and after I cleaned ) I put on the Jillian Michaels DVD and did the first workout. It was about 20min long mainly jumping jacks, sit ups and some punches. There was more but I can not remember it, it wasn't the best workout that I have done but I did work up a sweat!

I also did a 5k bike ride on the Davina bike just 2 min ago and I am sweating! It's like nearly 10pm so im gonna have a quick shower and head to bed :)

I meant to take a photo of my scales this morning but I forgot it was around the 12st 4.6lb!

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred!!

Hi Guys,

Today I finally got my Jillian Michaels workout DVD :) I'm so happy can not wait to try it out!!

I'm a real sucker for things that help you lose weight fast! I'll try anything that helps with weight loss and as soon as I seen " Lose up to 20 pounds in 39 days" on the front of this DVD, I was like OMG!!! I need that lol I know that I probably won't lose that much weight but knowing that it could be a possibility does help a small bit :)

On the back it says that in each 20 min workout ( don't know how many workouts there are ) contains: a warm up, 3 six minute circuits, 3 min strength, 2 min cardio, 1 min abs and a 2 min cool down!
Doesn't doing like much but I'm sure that it will be enough to get you sweating;) lol

I'll take a before pic on the day I start doing the DVD and an after pic on the 30th day when I have finished! So fingers crossed there will be a difference!

Take care
