Well...

As I said on Friday we went to London yesterday. I was hoping and hoping that the weather was going to be nice... well that didn't happen... it absolutely chucked it down all day :(

It was actually such a long day, we left on the coach at 7am and we got into London at just after 11. Coming back was just as bad as we left London about 8.15pm and got back home at 12.30am.. Me and Matt had a lovely session with lots of musicals on his ipod :P

I wish I had some pictures to share with you... If you have been following my blog a while then you will know this is not the norm... Me and Matt make regular trips to London to see shows and I don't think I have ever come back to say I have no pictures to share but the weather was SO bad I didn't want to get my camera out...

We did have a good day despite the weather. My mum and dad have not been to London in a few years and they have never seen a show so we took sanctuary in Her Majesty's Theatre to see Phantom of the opera. Me and Matt saw Phantom back in June but we sat right at the back of the stalls and as fab as the seats were there were a lot of bits - the chandelier falling and the phantom on the top of the stage. Mum and dad wanted some cheap tickets and didnt want to pay out lots so me and Matt took our ticket hunting expert skills and managed to get tickets in the Upper Circle for £21.50. We were really far on the left (these tend to be the cheapest tickets) and we couldnt see the very left of the stage but we did get to see all the bits we had missed before.
After Phantom we then took advantage of the lack of traffic on Oxford and Regent Street and did a bit of shopping (well I did). I got a few bits from Lush, Selfridges and John Lewis. I will share when I have taken some photos :)

Overall it was a good day but me and Matt have both said we wouldn't go on the coach again... its just too long - I think we have been spoilt with quick first class train travel. Me and Matt are going again at the end of January for the weekend so I just hope the weather is a bit better and that I can share some pictures with you.

I could absolutely not believe it. It was completely by chance that I had RT'd the link that one of my friends had retweeted and I was having a really crappy day at work... Usually on my lunch I dont go on my phone at all, it just sits on the desk all day feeling sorry for itself and I usually read my book on my tablet. Last Thursday however something happened before dinner and I was a bit annoyed/sad/didnt feel like reading so I went onto my phone and browsed twitter! So I was SO excited when I got home to see this tweet to say I had won tickets for the clothes show!!!


I absolutely can not wait to go!!!! I am taking mum with me (because I wouldnt take anyone else - she is my BFF) and we are both really looking forward to it! I am sure I will be event more excited when the tickets come and we book the train tickets!
I actually wanted to go to the Clothes Show and I very nearly booked tickets! I shall be tweeting,  instagramming etc on the day and of course blogging about it but I just wanted to share my exciting news with you!!!

I am also currently saving up to IMATS which is the 22nd and 23rd June! Again I am so excited for this!!!

Have you won anything on twitter???

Its called Let there be bright gift set. It contains the moisturiser which the girl at the Benefit counter had used which is the Triple Performing Facial Emulsion, it's oil free and contains SPF 15. When she used it on Saturday I felt like such a small bit went a long way. Also in this set is the It's Potent! Eye Cream which was part of the free gift I got in a small sample size and I really liked it. These were the 2 products I was actually looking at on the Benefit counter in Boots when the lovely lady told me about this gift set. The 2 products mentioned retail for £23.50 each and the gift set is £39 and you get 2 full sized versions of the above products. You also get a Total Moisture Face Cream Deluxe Mini and The Porefessional Deluxe Mini. So not only did I save myself £8 but I also got 2 other free products too. I love the mini Porefessional as it will be perfect for taking on weekends away etc or keeping in my handbag. I am also excited to try the Total Moisture Face Cream. It appears like it is a deeply moisturising cream for extra dry skin and I always get a dry part on the side of my nose on the bridge where my glasses sit so I cant wait to try this out.

I will keep you updated on how I am getting on with these products! Have you tried any of these products? Which are you favourite Benefit skin care products??

So if you saw my haul post from yesterday you will have seen that I brought the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment. This isnt a new product from what I can gather from looking around the blogosphere, in fact it seems like it has been out for quite some time, but it came to my attention about a couple of weeks ago when I saw it on one of the blogs I read.
Now this product doesnt claim to give you long luscious locks over night - its not a miracle worker after all. Heres what the Lee Stafford website says about it:

This gorgeous, thick intensive treatment with Pro-Growth™ complex gives your hair strength from within by fertilising your follicles, creating a healthy environment on your scalp to help hair grow faster and reach its maximum potential length.Its soothing formulation reduces irritation and moisturises the scalp, helping to keep it healthy and improving the volume and feel of your hair.

Its not about it making your hair grow faster but its about nourishing your hair to give it the maximum potential and get it in the best condition to grow.


Now obviously I only brought this product yesterday and I haven't been washing my hair like a mad person. But I did use it this morning when I washed my hair. Obviously your not going to see effects straight away but one thing I have noticed is how soft my hair feels! It feels amazing!!! Its so silky! I did what the product advised and left the treatment on my hair for 5 minutes while I carried on with my morning routine and then washed it off. Lee Stafford's advice is to initially use the product every time you wash your hair and when you feel like the condition has improved then use it once a week.

I will continue to keep you updated on how this product is going and I am excited to see how this product works with my hair!

Dont forget Lee Stafford products are currently on 3 for £12 in Boots stores. 

Have you tried this product? What did you think??

So here we are... another weekend and so another haul video. I seem to have starting using make up more probably over the past 12 months. Up until then I would just chuck a bit of foundation and some mascara on and have done. But over the last 12 months, or probably since I started writing this blog, I have been getting into experimenting with make up and trying different things. I have always been pretty much a high street affordable kind of girl, Im not talking cheap and nasty but like affordable stuff like Rimmel etc but today while in town I got a few bits to mix up my usual and brought some higher end bits too.


I like smack bang in the middle of 2 towns which I think I have said before, one slightly smaller and another one which is bigger and has more shops. I dont tend to go to the bigger town as its slightly further and is usually rammed with people. However me and mum went today and had a mooch round. So here is what I brought...

 I shall keep you updated on what I am thinking of all these beauty products :)

I have been wanting to make this for a while and my new camera playing about and coming up to the end of the month seemed the perfect opportunity to make one.
I know the camera and lighting isnt perfect, I am still playing about with it but here is my October favourites. I have been trying to try lots of new products so hopefully next month you should see some different products because this is something I want to include in my videos now. I have got some ideas for some videos and a couple I have already done so if you like watching youtube videos head on over to my channel and hit subscribe. I am hoping to put at least 1 new video up a week so stay tuned!!!
