Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Aloha Bloggerinos,

Do excuse the title and unrelated images, I'm just in that merry wintery christmas kinda mood- oohhhh yeeaahhh :)

As you may have noticed, I have been a bit slack on the old blog front of late, so I thought I would fill you in and give you a bit of a chatty post, as these seem to be rather popular. I luurvvvee chatty posts because I feel like I'm off loading my thoughts and find it really theraputic.

(I want trot through here in a nice dress and heels. Mmmm heels, the bump puts paid to any thoughts of sexy high shoes nowadays. Roll on March!)

Well, in the last week or so I have been tres busy. I signed up to a recruitment agency because the job search was going nowhere. They send me on various assignments and my most recent has been at a very well known cosmetic surgery clinic. It's a lovely place, very swish and my main roll (brace yourself) is to label the pictures of ladies boobies, before and after the surgery!! Basically, every man's dream job. Mwahaha.

I've also been temping at my Dad's office, which involved phoning around various international holiday resorts and taking a few details. Out of about 100 calls, I found the American's the best and luurvveedd how they all wished me a good day. I know it's not sincere but I do wish us Brits could share the love a bit. What do you think?

(J'adore wrapping presents and making gorgeous Christmas cards. Pretty pretty)

In pregnancy news I am officially five months pregnant now and blooming! I have a full on bump and am thouroughly enjoying maternity jeans. I am seriously questioning why I have spent my life agonising over jeans shopping, when I could have just bought these beauties and been done with it. Sod dignity, I'm NEVER leaving the bliss of stretchy waist bands. NEVER!!

I can feel him (I think it's a boy) moving about and have had a few light kicks which feels amazing. My scan is this Friday and providing bambino is laying in the correct position, we will see if it has a winky or fairy and can get cracking on painting the nursery- wahoo!!

Being as I'm not working full time, I have found myself rich in time but poor in mula, so this Christmas will be handcrafted as much as possible. I have some super ideas up my sleeve and will be giving you a few tutorials on how to do these too. None of them will be difficult so you will all be able to give them a whirl!

(I want to sit here -on a waterproof somethingorother- and drink hot chocolate and smooch Matt. Tehe)

Our lounge is finally, after 18 months, decorated so I have a "Home Corners" planned for you.

I am love love bloomin' well loving the wintery feel nowadays. I live for this time of year and will literally die with joy if it snows!! There's nothing better than being ll cosy in doors, eating chocolate and snuggling the cat.

I haven't taken any snaps in about 50 years, but I promise I will get cracking and and whip up some homey and crafty posts for you, unless you have any other requests?

Let me know how you're getting on, I love hearing from you all.

Toodlepip!

Lou's Reviews : : Eyeko Graffiti Pen Eyeliners

Aloha Bloggerinos,

As you will know, I was a lucky ducky and spent a night the a few weeks ago, living it up at the swish Eyeko Event in London.

At the event we were all given a goodie bag (youtube video HERE ) and we also had the opportunity to pick up the products that were scattered around the room. I've never had anything from Eyeko before so I made full use of this and picked up quite a few things! haha! I am super duper glad I did though and having been using them every day, which is most unlike me because I like to chop and change.

One of the productst I will be reviewing are the Graffiti Pen Eyeliners which retails on the WEBSITE for £5- bargain! I have the black, brown, purple and navy and am in love!! Hello navy blue, oh how I didn't realise how bright you make my eyes! I have always been a kohl eyeliner kinda gal because I struggle to get a good steady hand with the liquid liners. Hoowwweevverr, these little beauties are genius. They look and feel like felt tips to use and because the nip is fairly short and very sturdy, I feel no difference from my preferred kohls. The pigment is amazeballs and drys within seconds.

I love the felt tippyness and know that if they bought out more colours (please do!) I would be first in line! I also found that the longevity of these is brilliant. By the time I go to bed at night, the colour is there just as much as it was in the morning and this is something I could never achieve with my other liners, brucey bonus indeed!

(Look at the thickness variations you can do (ignore the purpley swatches!!)- how many liquid liners can you do that with hmm?)

Eyeko offer free shipping in the UK and Europe and free shipping elsewhere if you spend over a certain amount. Allssooo, as I am now an Ambassador, if you would like to order anything from the website, enter my special code E11341 at the checkout and you will get a free gift with your order! Now who doesn't love a freebie?!

Have you tried these eyeliners before or would you consider treating yourself to one?

Toodlepip!

Hot Pink Minxy Dresses

Aloha Bloggerinos,

If you have been reading a while, you will remember when I put my never used bridesmaid/cocktail/evening (veerryyyyy versatile) dresses for sale. Well, I was going to put them on eBay, never got round to it, but am now going to bite the bullet and work out how to do it- any eBay selling tips would be greatly received as I am basically, a dunce!

So before I whip them on the world wide market place (oh la la), I thought I would give you one last chance to snap them up, just in time for the party season. I originally had them on for £60 (rrp of £80 brand new, with tags) but I will be putting them on eBay for a start off price of £45. Soooo for you dear Bloggerinos, they are £45 and this INCLUDES p&p for the UK. It would be £5 p&p elsewhere but I will send recorded delivery so it's super safe for you :)

HAVE A LOOK HERE :)

Let me know chummies!

Toodlepip!
