February Favourites 2015

Once again i'm going to talk about a few things i have been enjoying in February, not got many beauty faves so it's very random - LETS G0!

Firstly i love my nails. I got them painted at the beginning of the month. I go to Sunshine Hair & Body near where i live. I fancied something with colour to get me in the spring mood.
Pastel blue and green - perfect for spring! This is Jessica GELeration nails - so its my nails but they last about 3-4 weeks with no chips, its good for me because i can't paint my own nails. 




Ive got a fragrance now. Perfume is the hardest to describe ahhh.
GIORGIO ARMANI - Si Eau de Parfum retails at £45.50 30ml (Boots). I bought mine on holiday - gotta love Duty Free ;)
The bottle is sleek and simplistic...far from the scent! Si smells of blackcurrant, i don't mean i go round stinking of Ribena, but there is defiantly a hint of blackcurrant. Its one of my more sophisticated perfumes, quite warm. I never normally stray from my Chanel Chance Eau Tendre but this is the total opposite. 

I'll google the notes behind Si…. "It combines an inflection of three accords: blackcurrant nectar, modern chypre and light musky wood. The fragrance opens with notes of Sicilian Bergamot, Mandarin oil and blackcurrant liqueur which is supported by a heart which bursts with Rose May, Neroli and Egyptian Jasmine. Warm undertones caress the unique chypre base notes of Patchouli oil intertwined with Blond Woods, amber and musky undertones known as OrcanoxTM. Finished with a sweet animalic accord of Vanilla which gives this fragrance, longevity and unforgettable sillage". Ahhh makes sense  glad i haven't mad the blackcurrant up. I love this perfume, i know i'm going to run out soon :(


The Full Monty!!!
SWIT SWOO!!!
I went to watch The Full Monty on 16th February at Nottingham Theatre Royal. It was absolutely fabulous. I laughed the whole way through it (don't think people sat next to me was too happy)! For those too young or have never heard of The Full Monty The production is based on the 1997 British film. It follows a group of unemployed ex Sheffield steelworkers who decide to become strippers to earn some quick money. In the film Robert Carlyle plays main character 'Gaz', on stage Gary Lucy plays 'Gaz' - very well match actually ;). I just really enjoyed the production, it was more than expected! I was 6 when the film came out - yes i watched my mums VHS of it….repeatedly! If you like the film, you will love the theatre production!! A MUST SEE!



I have recently discovered the SACCONEJOLYs on youtube..yes where have i been? Under a rock..blahhhh.

Seriously i love their vlogs, i'm waiting everyday for 6pm to come so i can watch more!
The kids are adorable, especially watching Emilia learning and playing (in a non creepy way). I started by watching their trip to disneyland and fell inlove with everything about them. There are no words just watch….Sacconejolys disney day1.


Finally…this month has been all about my family..awwww <3
No seriously - it was valentines day and i have no partner but i have the best family!
Seeing my little munchkin Freya grow up has made my life let alone my month. Freya is my youngest cousin (we are a very close family) i see her on a daily basis and she fills my life with love. I am very unlikely to have my own children so I treasure every little moment I spend with her.  Even when she is driving me mad by sucking on my make-up brushes and throwing my lipsticks on the floor (YSL btw!). My family really do mean the world to me so it's not just of February favourite but a forever favourite.

10 Years on

Just sat minding my own...well actually browsing through ASOS with the telly on in the background and I see my back surgeon from 10 years ago. BBC 2 Hospital series 3  a documentary on Nottingham QMC hospital around the time of a bed crisis. A young boy of 12 was about to undergo a spinal fusion by the best surgeon Micheal Grevitt (my doctor). The documentary was a brilliant insight into how the NHS is suffering. Staff overworked, patients distressed waiting for beds, treatment and then a lack of social care funding. An experience I didn't have 10 years ago. The program brought back some memories, least to say some painful memories - literally painful. August 2007 I went to QMC to have the biggest operation I'd ever had or probably will ever have. I make myself laugh to be honest because now at 26 I'd be shitting myself but not at 16 -  bitch be fearless! Obvz I was nervous but I was optimistic almost unbeatable! My mum looked petrified...the woman is scared of h...

MAXFACTOR CREME PUFF BLUSHES

(30 Gorgeous Berries) When i saw the release of these blushers i was skeptical because of the Creme element - instantly thought STICKY. The MaxFactor Creme Puff Blusher are new to the drugstore in the UK ( Boots & Superdrug ). There are 6 shades in this range. When swatching i thought glitterin'hell - i'll look like a disco ball with these blushes! The lighter shades such as 5 Lovely Pink and 10 Nude Mauve may be more of a highlight for medium skin tones. I have seen that these blushes are a DUPE for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushers  which are £28! In my eyes that makes these MaxFactor blushes a  bargain  at £8.99!  Im not sure if some shades are online exclusives as i was looking for 20 Lavish Mauve , it was impossible to find!  I bought mine in the shade 30 Gorgeous Berries . Gorgeous Berries is the darkest blusher in the range. It is what it says on the tin, its a berry shade (I ts a purpley/Pinky shade ). The formula is a powde...

#MYBEAUTIFULSTRUGGLE

   I don't really know what I'm going to call this blog post. I have to discuss Jordan Bone's latest YouTube video "My beautiful struggle". This video had over 25,000 views in 24 hours! ( Congratulations Jordan) . The point of this video was for Jordan to show her viewers The struggle she has to apply make up. It's almost like a behind-the-scenes about how difficult it was to learn to do her make up. She is a positive, beautiful, ambitious inspiration which makes her the perfect role model for so many different people not just those with disabilities. It's not easy to put a video like this online for everyone to see. To admit that you can't do most things for yourself and have to ask for help with everything is difficult. Down to silly little things to normal people ( able people ), like brushing your own hair or dressing yourself. Do you take that for granted ? Maybe ? You probably don't even realise your morning routine is completel...
