Christmas Name Tags Trial

A start to my first page of name tags for the Christmas lunch. I am in charge of table decorating which I’m happy with 🙂 Decided to keep it simple, with lots of white, red and teal. We shall see. The final pics will follow.

My Ultimate Love: Gift Wrapping

Unfortunately with my blackberry being in for repairs, taking photos is a little too much of a schlep, especially for holiday mode, so I can’t show you how I’ve done my presents this year. Gift wrapping is the cherry on the top for me, I think no matter what’s inside, if effort has been put […]

Another surprise…

I returned home from my Christmas shopping expedition today to find two large pots of Clinique Youth Surge (day and night) in my post box. I am yet to try them, I will leave that until tonight. The day cream has an Spf of 15 which is looking good for Thailand. Very keen to give […]

Avons Matte Nail Enamel

It’s matte, not dull Over kill on my ‘must have’ polishes, I know… But came across Avon‘s new polishes in Matte (which I usually hate) and I think it looks pretty amazing!!! It comes in an array of matte colours and even though they are quite wintery, there is nothing wrong with stocking up! The […]
